RH Architects is an interdisciplinary practice involved in rigorous design and research that yields innovative, iconic buildings and urban environments. With founder Rweeda Himayat serving as principal architect, the firm today consists of a group highly skilled professionals, who remain committed to the practice of architecture as a collaborative enterprise. With projects across Pakistan, the firm’s work ranges in scale from residential, institutional, and commercial buildings to urban planning projects.
Architecture
RHA’s principal work and passion is architecture. The geometry that hides itself in nature, in the structure of our cells, in the spiral of a pine cone or the crystals deep within the earth are all manifest on the drafting table of an architect. It is a joy and a privilege to complement and accentuate the beauty of creation through the art of architectural design. Rweeda Himayat leads the design team and brings a wealth of expertise to all her architectural design projects. With experience in diverse fields, from corporate and commercial projects to educational institutions and residential designs, RHA is able to tackle projects of any scale, managing the full building engineering design process, and can providing tailored services on projects of all sizes.
Interior Design
The space we create to live or work in is proven to affect the productivity, mood and even health of the inhabitants. RHA ensures its interior design work takes into account not only the purpose of the space, but creates harmony between the design, form and function of the interior. The aesthetic value, married with state of the art design elements and the variety of our design is at the heart of all our interior projects; we intend to make each interior unique.
Landscape Architecture
RHA landscape architecture encompasses anything from large scale urban planning projects to designing of individual residential landscaping and exteriors. Landscaping projects include the design of monuments and statement structures, the layout of a garden or yard, water features, pagodas and other exterior structures and elements.
Buiding Engineering Design
There’s little use in having a beautiful design unless it is functional and can stand up to the rigors of the world ‘off paper’. We ensure that building engineering and structural integrity is at the heart of every one of our architectural designs, using our expertise to allow the building engineering design to optimize the functionality of our work. We oversee all building engineering design closely to ensure that our Architectural designs are manifested accurately into reality.
Ambience and Lighting Design
Nothing creates atmosphere in a space like the right lighting. Many of RHA’s projects include bespoke lighting to suit the particular needs or aesthetic requirement of our design and the desires of our clientele. Whether it’s a specific kind of ambient light in a restaurant, or the perfect lamp for a living room, or a statement light in an office foyer, RHA can design and create lighting to complement any space.
Furniture Design
The furniture in our homes, offices or workplaces speaks to who we are, as an individual or a company. This is why RHA focuses on creating furniture that reflect the needs and personality of the space it will occupy. When we design furniture, we ensure it seamlessly blends into the overall design aesthetic.
Construction Supervision
Construction Supervision covers Top Supervision and Design Supervision. Construction supervision ensures the integrity of design is followed through to the completion of the project. This means we keep a tight watch over aesthetics, quality of workmanship, use of materials, civil engineering processes, cost management etc.
Project Management
RHA can facilitate customized teams and solutions for project management, ensuring that projects are completed to specifics, on budget and on time.
