Residential Projects
Residential projects form the core of ARKA's practice. We design custom homes across Lahore—from compact urban plots to expansive estate properties. Each residence is designed for its specific site, climate, and household. We do not apply templates.

Project Types
Urban Homes (5-10 Marla)
Compact sites require efficient planning. We maximize usable area while maintaining light, air, and privacy. Vertical organization, courtyards, and setback utilization.
Family Residences (1-2 Kanal)
Larger plots allow expanded programs: multiple living areas, guest suites, home offices, staff quarters. Clear public/private separation.
Farmhouse & Estate Properties
Rural and semi-urban sites offer design freedom. Response to landscape, views, and agricultural context with security and utility considerations.
Multi-Generational Homes
Extended family living requires careful zoning. Shared spaces that bring families together and private areas that allow independence.
How ARKA Delivers
Residential design is personal. We invest time understanding household patterns—morning routines, entertainment preferences, work-from-home requirements, children's needs, domestic help arrangements. These inform spatial organization.
We present design options with physical models, 3D views, and material samples. Clients visualize their homes before construction begins. Revisions are resolved during design, not during construction.
Our documentation enables contractor pricing and construction. Drawings are complete, coordinated, and buildable within Pakistani construction reality.
