The Residence is located in Mardan KPK which is underconstruction. The total land area is approx. 16 Kanal, out of which the main residence is on 2 kanal and 1 kanal of drawing room area for guests which is locally called Baitak or Hujra in Pashto culture. The Hujra is connected to the main residence and at the same time it is placed away from the main residence for privacy. The Structure is designed in fairface brick with arches and circlular windows having central courtyard which brings the natural ventilation inside the home and a cozy environment for internal use. The form is modernisitic and yet regionalisic which is also called critical regionalist style. The masses and volumes are cubical with regional arches which is language of bricks. The black color blends with the brick in contrast producing its own identity. The residence also have vernada's so the user may enjoy the rains while sitiing inside the vernadah and smell the essence of mud while it rains.

The residence also have gazebo which is covered with wine trees, which gives cozy shadows in summers and when autumns comes, it sheds and bring the rays of light inside the space to make it more warm.
