35 Completed Architecture Projects in One Year — ORAD 2025 Round-Up

At ORAD, architecture is not measured by scale alone, but by clarity of thought, contextual response, and the human experience embedded within each space. Over the past year, ORAD has successfully completed 35 architecture and interior design projects, spanning residential, commercial, and hospitality typologies across Pakistan.

This round-up reflects a year of intense design thinking, collaboration, and execution — documenting how ideas moved from drawings to built reality.

A Year of Architecture, Design, and Execution

Completing 35 projects within a single year is not just a milestone; it is a reflection of an evolving architectural practice grounded in discipline and intent. Each project presented its own constraints — site conditions, budgets, timelines, and client aspirations — requiring tailored architectural responses rather than formulaic solutions.

From compact urban interiors to larger residential developments, ORAD’s work this year demonstrates how thoughtful planning and material sensitivity can elevate everyday spaces into meaningful environments.

Diversity of Projects Designed by ORAD

One of the defining aspects of this year’s portfolio is its diversity. The projects featured in the 2025 round-up include:

• Residential architecture designed around light, privacy, and livability

• Commercial and retail interiors where branding and spatial experience intersect

• Hospitality spaces that balance atmosphere with operational efficiency

Despite differences in scale and function, all projects share a common design approach — restraint, coherence, and respect for context. Rather than imposing a signature style, ORAD allows each project to develop its own architectural language.

ORAD’s Architecture and Design Process

Behind every completed project lies a rigorous and layered design process. At ORAD, architecture evolves through the following stages:

Understanding the briefEach project begins with listening — understanding how clients intend to live, work, or interact within a space.

Concept developmentDesign concepts are rooted in spatial logic, circulation, and material strategy, ensuring ideas are grounded before aesthetics are explored.

Technical coordinationArchitecture, structure, MEP, and interior detailing are developed simultaneously to avoid fragmentation during execution.

Execution and supervisionClose coordination with contractors and site teams ensures that design intent translates accurately into the built form.

This process allows ORAD to maintain design integrity while delivering projects efficiently.

What These Projects Say About Contemporary Architecture in Pakistan

The 35 completed projects collectively reflect the changing landscape of architecture in Pakistan. Clients are increasingly aware of how design affects daily life — from energy efficiency and natural light to spatial comfort and long-term adaptability.

These projects signal a shift away from purely visual architecture toward spaces that are user-focused, context-responsive, and functionally resilient. Architecture, in this sense, becomes an everyday framework for living rather than a static object.

Looking Ahead — The Future of ORAD

This year’s round-up is both a reflection and a foundation. Each completed project strengthens ORAD’s commitment to architecture that is:

• Contextual rather than cosmetic

• Experiential rather than symbolic

• Designed for people, not trends

As ORAD moves forward, the focus remains on producing architecture that is thoughtful, grounded, and enduring — spaces that quietly perform their role long after construction is complete.

The 2025 round-up stands as a record of what can be achieved through consistency, collaboration, and a clear architectural vision.

ORAD is an architecture and interior design studio based in Islamabad, working across residential, commercial, and hospitality projects throughout Pakistan.
