Hi there! My name is Fazila Zaman, but you may call me Fifi. I hold a Bachelors degree in Architecture and Planning, from Nadirshaw Edulji Dinshaw (NED) Uni versity in Karachi, after five excruciating yet rewarding years. In the realm of archi tecture, while both classical and contemporary designs are interesting, what fasci nates me most is the eliteness of timeless design elements and my effort is always to reflect such elements into my designs. Having experienced direct client interactions from my professional experience, I get excited at every opportunity to integrate the client’s vision and if they may prefer, their personalities in the designs as well which makes the overall experience of designing more enjoyable.
Besides design and planning which is my bread and butter, I also enjoy exploring and unlocking new creativity avenues through various mediums such as fine arts, movies or travelling.

A LOVE LETTER TO FRENCH ARCHITECTURE
Timeless French Classical Home
Timeless neutral with a monochromatic contrast for a classical yet pristine look. A classic white home with dark grey louvers, this residence draws upon the de sign of classic French homes while honoring the needs of a modern lifestyle. The home-owners wanted spaces in their dream home pertaining to their respective professions, namely medicine and art. The main foyer opens to the main hall and the dining room on the sides, and leads to the open airy stair case, lit by a beautiful ro sette skylight. The airy space opens to the garden outside. The home-owners desired a ‘garden’ area that is accessible by various connections, to host parties. Hence it is accessible via three pathways; from the drop off, from the main staircase, and from the lounge. The garden features an organic hardscape centering a fire pit designed by Rick Wittrig, surrounded by soft landscape and water bodies. The organic lines end at the gazebo facing the home at an isometric angle. The whole garden is viewed by the pool which is attached to the lounge, kitchen, and a terrace of the upper lounge. For the representation of professions of the home owners, the basement has a small walk-in clinic space, while the upper floor accommodates an artist’s studio, which is connected to the facade’s central balcony of the house.

BRINGING AN OLD AGE GRACE TO A MODERNLY PLANNED RESIDENCE
Mediterranean -Style Residence
A traditional mediterranean style home with the comfort of a modern day family residence. Arranging different parts and functions of the house in a modern ap proach, while designing the exterior of the house in a traditional approach ends the search light. The ochre cement plaster home with detailed moulding, paired with the the play of solids and voids of simple materials and shapes, echoes the iconic mediterranean house with a modern twist. The romance of those simple materials and shapes composed in an authentic and graceful compositions are the key defin ing elements that make this house. The facade of the residence has less visual access through arched traditional windows, but the south face opens graciously to a mix of traditional arch-like windows, series of modern windows, chandelier fromt the renowned restoration hardware hanging from one of the protuded volumes, pro viding scattered light to the basement, down patios to expansive views of the pool in the basement.

ANTIQUE SIMPLICITY AND ORDER
A Modern Neo Classical Home
Symmetry, simplicity, elongated columns, elaborated doorways and evenly spaced windows define the characteristics and design order of a neo classical home. The romance of those simple materials, design principles and shapes composed in an authentic and graceful compositions are the key defining elements that make this house. The large central courtyard partially surrounded by rooms and huge porch is a spectacle while the pool takes the centre stage.
Large, dark grey metal french windows and doors, opens views to the nature sur rounding the house, and gives a modern feel to this neo classical home. The home really reflects the outdoors through the use of windows and doors. Color schemes of creamy whites, dakr greys further define its simplicity - that is, a home inspired by the 18th century French Architecture married into a Modern house.

Protruding elements of facade are the represented as feature walls. These feature walls have a design pattern of cen tralized modern triglyphs on frieze of the said wall, with columns of the Roman Tuscan order on the upper part of the wal, while Roman Doric ones on the bottom. The triglyphs add a horizontal focused detail on the wall, making the wall seem more wider horizontally, while the fluting detail on the Roman Doric columns add a visually heavy effect on the base.

THE ‘ORDINARY’ HOME - wabi sabi A Contemporary Residence
IntraditionalJapaneseaesthetics,wabi-sabiisaworldview centeredontheacceptanceoftransienceandimperfection.
Theaestheticissometimesdescribedasoneofappreciating beautythatis“imperfect,impermanent,andincomplete”in nature.
Sophisticated and sensitively designed architecture, yet minimalistic. The simple concept behind the Khuldoon residence was to introduce an open calming atmosphere feeling in a house, amidst the frenetic bustle of the city of Karachi. Priority in planning was centered around the pool. To achieve this, the pool was positioned on the extreme end of the plot where noise levels would be the lowest. Calming sound of ripples creat ed in the pool, the ligth reflected from the pool on the house, all set the mood of a vacation haven at home vibe. Material selection for the exteri or were carefully picked to harness the charm of wabi sabi concept. The ‘unfinished’ look of a concrete plastered exterior finishing, the knots or imperfections such as weathering of wood , all brings forward the textural contrast making a modern house more unique in its elements. With the courtyard being the heart of the house, a great detail in providing visual and physical access to the pool is given. On the upper level, the bedroom and lounge share a terrace looking over the pool.
