BHSP Architects, a firm based in Faisalabad City of Pakistan. They have been practicing Architecture for 40 years. ArchiVogue had the honor to meet Principal Architect and CEO of BHSP Ar. Baha Uddin Siddiqui. Ar. Baha Uddin shared one of his projects that is having a trade mark in the history of his career. Therefore, the project “Looking through the Window” is a house designed for Mr. Afzal who resides in Faisalabad. Ar. Baha Uddin wanted to share this project to the world so that people can know how satisfied and happy Mr. Afzal is from BHSP Architects.
Hence, ArchiVogue was able to interview the client and Architect at the same time. Mr. Afzal mentioned that he came to BHSP with one theory and that was his house surrounded by the greenery. Ar. Baha Uddin kept this in mind and designed the house for Mr. Afzal and family. Later, they successfully meet the standards, requirements and desires of their client.
“Looking Through The Window” is the name given to this project because whenever you put aside any curtain or stand in any room of the house you can see greenery from that window. And this was what Mr. Afzal wanted from his house. If you want to know the details of the project than slide down the article below.
