🧱 The Role of an Architect in Modern House Planning
An architect’s role in Islamabad isn’t limited to drawing plans — it’s about understanding lifestyle, climate, and elevation character of each society:
-
Plot Analysis: Every area has its bylaws (setback, height, porch placement).
-
Design Concept: Spanish, Classical, or Contemporary based on location and client preference.
-
Space Planning: Managing privacy (men/women zones), sunlight, and circulation flow.
-
Front Elevation Composition: Creating proportion, texture, and material harmony for a lasting façade impression.
-
Construction Coordination: Helping clients choose GRC, stone, plaster, and roof tile combinations.
