Site update – December 2025

Work on the Murad House in Zaraj Housing Society has reached a critical juncture with the substantial completion of the grey structure. At this stage, the project transitions from rough framing to the refinement of its architectural identity. The poured concrete and masonry work now clearly delineate the building’s massing, confirming the precise symmetry required for this Classical design. Our primary focus during this phase has been ensuring that the structural shell aligns perfectly with the elevation drawings, as the rigid geometry of classical architecture allows little room for on-site deviation.

The defining elements of the front façade are now structurally in place. The central circular arch a key focal point of the elevation has been executed with precision, anchoring the upper volume. Similarly, the installation of the concrete balustrades along the roofline and the casting of the cantilevered pergolas are complete. These components serve a dual purpose: they establish the traditional visual hierarchy of the building while providing necessary shading for the terraces. The current application of base plaster is smoothing the masonry substrate, preparing the surface for the detailed cornice work that will follow.

Internally, the spatial organization is performing as intended. A common challenge in deep 1 Kanal plots is maintaining adequate daylight in the central circulation zones. The construction photos confirm that the central atrium and roof cutouts are successfully channeling natural light into the core of the house, reducing reliance on artificial lighting. As we move into the finishing phase, the team is shifting focus to the installation of electrical conduits and plumbing infrastructure before the final interior layers are applied.

Status: Grey Structure Complete / Plaster & MEP Works Ongoing.
