Role: Lead Architectural Designer, Schematic Design & Design Development

Designed for the Kabul Municipality, this residential complex was conceived as a community-oriented housing development that responds to the cultural, social, and environmental context of Kabul.

The master plan organizes multiple residential buildings around landscaped open spaces, pedestrian pathways, community gathering areas, and shared amenities, creating a cohesive and walkable neighbourhood environment. Particular attention was given to local patterns of living, family-oriented lifestyles, and the integration of architecture with community life.

The development includes residential buildings, recreational spaces, community facilities, landscaped public areas, and supporting infrastructure. The design focused on creating a balanced residential environment that promotes connectivity, accessibility, and long-term livability while addressing the needs of a growing urban population.

Project responsibilities included leading the architectural design process, development of the project concept and master plan, schematic design, design development, and coordination with the client throughout the design stages.
