Designing a 10 Marla Contemporary Residence in B-17, Islamabad

This 10 Marla residence is nestled within the evolving landscape of B-17 Multi Gardens. The design reinterprets contemporary architecture through a unique lens. Specifically, it focuses on warmth, restraint, and material honesty. Designed by Primarc Studio, the project embraces natural textures and a human scale. As a result, the modern home feels deeply grounded in its context. The goal is simple: to create a home that feels both contemporary and timeless.

The façade composition is a key feature of the house. It explores the vertical rhythm of brickwork. This is juxtaposed with a fine-grained texture coat. Consequently, this combination achieves a dialogue between craftsmanship and minimalism. By setting the brick vertically, the surface gains a subtle linearity. Therefore, it catches light in distinctive patterns throughout the day.

In addition, the textured surfaces provide a muted, earthy counterpoint. This visually anchors the building. Deep window recesses and louvered fins are also integrated. These elements offer shade and privacy while introducing rhythm.

The geometry of the house is composed with restraint. For example, strong horizontal slabs define the upper and lower planes. Meanwhile, inset balconies and vertical walls articulate privacy. Natural light filters into the interior spaces through large glazed openings. However, the façade maintains a sense of composure through strategic screening.

Furthermore, the house engages with its surroundings through controlled transparency. This connects indoor spaces to the street while preserving a calm sense of enclosure. Finally, balcony planters and creepers soften the composition, effectively blending nature into the architectural fabric.

Site Progress Update – 25 December, 2025

Construction is rapidly advancing on this 10 Marla contemporary residence in B-17 Multi Gardens. Currently in the gray structure phase, the site is beginning to reveal the project’s core philosophy of “warmth and restraint”. The façade is taking shape with the installation of vertical brickwork, which will soon contrast against a fine-grained texture coat to catch sunlight in distinctive patterns. Inside, the structural steel staircase has been installed, acting as a central sculptural element that connects the floating horizontal slabs.
