Askari Complex, Karachi By TimeLine Designs

Askari Complex is a contextually designed five story apartment and retail block in a busy urban context located in Karachi.

The ideation behind design was to come up with a dynamic facade following post-colonial architectural vocabulary, which finds its roots in everyday urban environments of the city. It borrows elements like arches, verandas, khaprail tiles and red stone cladding, giving it a very site-specific look.

The verandas have been designed to repurpose the streetscape by adding carefully designed sitting fixtures, pedestrian paths, lighting fixtures and shading elements to bring a new experience to street shopping, which adds life and culture to the surroundings.
