Designing for Karachi's Climate

12 August 2026

Karachi's heat and humidity demand architecture that works with the climate rather than against it. Orientation, shading and cross-ventilation are the first tools we reach for.

Deep overhangs, perforated screens and courtyards reduce solar gain while bringing in daylight. Combined with high-performance glazing, these measures cut cooling loads significantly.

Good climate design is not an add-on; it starts at the first sketch and pays back over the full life of the building.
