Design Studio
Building anything in Lahore is not just a design problem — it’s a complete process that needs careful strategy. Your drawings have to pass LDA review, local bylaws, and sometimes your society’s own approval standards. Your floor plans also need to work for your family and stay within a realistic budget.
Most problems that show up on site are created before construction ever starts — in the brief, in the drawings, or in the approvals process. Our job as your architect is to stop those problems from happening, so you stay stress-free through the entire build. That’s a real difference from hiring a thekedar or contractor alone, where design, approvals, and quality control often have no single owner.
HA Design Studio was founded by lead architect Ar. Haris Azmat, a PCATP-registered professional with 15+ years of experience across residential and commercial projects in Pakistan. We operate as your full-service architectural partner — from concept sketches and architectural drawings through LDA approval documentation, site supervision, and project management.
We’re a boutique firm by choice: every project gets senior architect attention. You’ll deal with the same people from the moment you walk into our office until final handover, so you always know exactly where your project stands.
Our completed work spans residential homes, office buildings, plazas, hotels, and mixed-use commercial developments. Across all of it, the focus stays on one thing: buildings that function well for the people inside them, built within a realistic budget.
HA Design Studio delivers complete architectural and design services to a diverse clientele — creating spaces that represent innovation, function, and lasting value
Clients in Lahore have genuinely diverse tastes, and we do not impose a single aesthetic. What we design has to suit the client, the site, and the budget.
From the moment we get in contact with you, we have a detailed plan for every client to make your investment worthwhile. Here’s what makes us the right architectural firm in Lahore for your project:
We start by understanding your project: the plot, the budget, the timeline, and what you want the building to achieve. Most clients know clearly what they don't want before they know what they do want — that's a fine place to start a design conversation.
Our architects develop initial layouts and elevations based on your brief. We refine these with you until the design is right, then move into detailed architectural layout plans — the complete document set from which contractors quote and build. Clear, accurate drawings at this stage are what determine whether a project stays on budget and on time during construction.
This is one of the most crucial steps — and we don't leave you alone at this stage. We prepare the full documentation package for LDA map approval, society bylaws/NOCs, WASA clearance, and building permits. Our town planners and architects have handled these processes across many projects, and we understand what local building authorities want. Most delays in Lahore construction projects happen at the approvals stage — usually from incomplete or non-compliant submissions — so we get it right the first time.
For clients who want full turnkey solutions, we provide construction supervision and project management through the build phase. This includes coordinating contractors, reviewing work against approved architectural drawings, managing the timeline, and maintaining active budget control during residential construction and commercial builds. Cost overruns are common across Pakistan, especially when you're dealing with the “thekedar culture” — proper design documentation and active site oversight are how you prevent them.
Our portfolio showcases successfully completed diverse projects across Lahore — from luxury residences in DHA Phase 6 to innovative commercial spaces in Johar Town. We invite potential clients to visit our completed projects, speak with past clients, and see the quality of our work firsthand — with designs that have earned recognition through client satisfaction and referrals.
We believe in the “Vocal for Local” mantra and cover the full city of Lahore. Our active project locations include DHA Lahore across all phases, Bahria Town, Gulberg, Model Town, Garden Town, Johar Town, Cantt, Allama Iqbal Town, and the surrounding residential and commercial areas.
We also take on projects in other cities across Pakistan where clients need the same level of architectural services — including full remote handling for overseas Pakistanis building in Lahore.
Architect services in Lahore cover everything from initial floor plans and elevation designs through detailed construction drawings, LDA approval documentation, NOC submissions, and on-site construction supervision. HA Design Studio provides these as turnkey solutions, so clients have one team managing the full process rather than coordinating between a designer, a planner, and a site supervisor separately.
Mid-range architect fees in Lahore typically run Rs 50–80 per square foot, while premium firms charge Rs 80–250+ per square foot (2026 rates). Design fees generally work out to 5–10% of the total construction cost. The exact figure depends on plot size, design complexity, and whether you need drawings only or full supervision. Use our construction cost calculator to plan your overall budget.
Yes. HA Design Studio is led by Ar. Haris Azmat, a PCATP-registered architect with 15+ years of experience. PCATP registration matters because most housing authorities in Lahore, including LDA and DHA, require submission drawings signed by a registered architect.
Yes — we prepare and submit the complete LDA approval package: architectural drawings, structural documents, and society NOCs where required. Because our team handles approvals regularly, submissions are compliant the first time, which is where most self-managed projects lose months.
We structure fees based on scope: drawings-only packages, design + approval packages, and full turnkey design-and-build. You'll get a clear written scope before any commitment, so you know exactly what's included — no hidden additions mid-project.
Yes. We design to your budget from day one, not after the drawings are done. For reference, grey structure construction in Lahore currently runs approximately PKR 2,900–4,500 per square foot (2026 rates), and our designs account for realistic material and labour costs so your project stays financeable from drawing to handover.
Yes. Our commercial architecture design services in Lahore cover offices, plazas, shops, apartments, and institutional buildings — including the stricter compliance, parking, and fire-safety planning commercial approvals require.
Yes. Our in-house team provides complete interior design services in Lahore — from single rooms to full homes and commercial interiors — coordinated with the architecture so finishes, lighting, and layouts work as one design.
