ALEEYA. design studio ( A. ) is a design practice for architecture founded by Aleeya Khan, a Columbia University educated Architect aiming to transform her nation via minimal, modern and sustainable design. A.’s projects are driven by an ambition to change the urban real estate landscape in Karachi, a metropolis of 22 million residents and the economic heart of Pakistan, where access to modern, purpose-built and innovative infrastructure remains an institutional void and an impediment to growth. For ALEEYA. design studio, the marriage between aesthetics and functionality dictates how to solve design problems — inventing timeless and innovative solutions that adapt to their lifelong purpose and environment.
Since its founding in 2020, A. has designed and completed over 50,000 square feet of high-end residential space and is currently constructing over 100,000 square feet of commercial space. With offices in Karachi & Lahore and open to projects globally, A. specializes in high-end residential, commercial boutique offices, and interior renovations with a minimal and a bespoke approach for clients.
Model Project
A silent abode where light and nature fall through carefully designed spaces; a space of contemplation with private corners juxtaposed with elegant and ever-transforming light throughout the dayMinimal
Minimal is a way of life; it is in the simplicity of the structures that are created, the quantity of objects in a space, the details that are executed within a building. We use minimal as an artistic medium, which sculpts experiences.
Light
Light evokes emotion; it transcends and transforms time and space; it creates movement and moments of stillness in atmospheres. We use light as a way to sensationalize and silence walls, floors, and objects.
Soft Materials
Soft materials warm raw spaces; they find ways to enhance stark structures. We use soft materials to invent soothing atmospheres and bring calm into buildings.
Nature
Nature is an all-encompassing thing, which surrounds us in every moment; it is the origin of any landscape and an integral part of every design. We use nature as a way of bringing us back to our roots, re-introducing the elements around and within structures.
Function
Function is the efficiency with which a space is used; it creates a gauge for measuring how well the layout flows and how practical the design is. We use function as a means to bring intention into our spaces, to ensure that they respond to each brief.
