Off the M-9 Motorway in Malir, Bahria Town, Karachi spans 46,000+ acres across 60+ precincts with landmarks like Grand Jamia Mosque and Rafi Stadium. Karachi’s hot, humid summers and monsoon spikes shape smart building decisions.
- Access & mobility: Wide Jinnah Avenue and internal spines shape safe entries and parking. Plan turning radii, sightlines and service access to avoid daily bottlenecks for residents and retail users.
- Light, heat & privacy: Balance daylight with shade using deep overhangs and courts. Recess glazing on west fronts; screen terraces to preserve privacy while keeping lounges and bedrooms naturally brighter.
- Monsoon & drainage: Monsoon bursts can overwhelm gullies. Roof slopes, scuppers and concealed downpipes must redirect water away from entrances and foundations to reduce damp and maintenance issues.
