Case study, infrastructure
Road, drainage and coastal schemes for the Karachi Development Authority, anchored by the Munawar Chowrangi underpass, which the KDA opened to traffic in 2026.
Existing condition before construction, traffic at Munawar Chowrangi on the Gulistan-e-Johar corridor.
For the Karachi Development Authority the practice designs the city's road schemes. The Munawar Chowrangi underpass on the Gulistan-e-Johar corridor was opened to traffic by the KDA in 2026; a link road and nallah from Moach Goth to Hawkes Bay is under construction; and further underpass, flyover and coastal schemes are in design.
On the project index these are separate sheets. What they share is a discipline the buildings pages never have to show.
The argument
Karachi floods, and a carriageway that cannot carry its own water does not last a monsoon. In these schemes the drainage is designed with the alignment, not added to it afterwards.
At Munawar Chowrangi the underpass carries a stormwater holding tank beneath its barrel, sized from an intensity–duration–frequency curve built on Karachi rainfall data from the Meteorological Department, so heavy runoff is held rather than pushed onto the corridor. The Moach Goth scheme is a link road and a nallah in one commission.
That is the through-line across the schemes: each pairs the carriageway with the water it has to move, which is why the practice's infrastructure record sits beside its buildings rather than under them.
The commissions
Every figure below is read from the practice's project record, where each one sits beside the document it came from.
Existing condition before construction, traffic at Munawar Chowrangi on the Gulistan-e-Johar corridor.
01Delivered, opened to traffic in 2026
An underpass carrying two lanes each way beneath Munawar Chowrangi, taking the last signal out of the Gulistan-e-Johar corridor. Opened to traffic in July 2026.
Site record, 29 October 2024, the roundabout kerb and the road formation on the alignment at Keamari.
02A link road and a nallah, under construction
A link road with a lined nallah alongside it, from the RCD Highway at Moach Goth to Hawkes Bay, with a roundabout and box culvert crossings.
Proposal render, the flyover and underpass carrying the through movements across Maskan Chowrangi.
03An underpass and flyover, in design
An underpass on one side of Maskan Chowrangi and a flyover on the other, taking the through movements across a junction with no room for a roundabout.
Proposal render, the carriageway and cycling track behind the sea wall at Clifton.
04The coastal scheme, a sea wall and road
A 2,795 m sea wall with a coastal road, urban deck, green belts, jogging and cycling tracks and visitor parking, from Dolmen Mall to China Port.
The Munawar Chowrangi underpass is open to traffic. The Moach Goth link road is under construction. The remaining schemes, on Korangi's arterial roads, at Maskan Chowrangi, along the Gujjar Nala corridor and at Clifton, are in design.
Each keeps its own sheet in the record, with its own status and figures, and each is linked above.
Also
Case study, healthcare
Four commissions on one naval hospital site, a master plan and three buildings, planned so the Pakistan Navy's principal hospital keeps working throughout.
Case study, healthcare and education
A teaching hospital, a medical college and its specialist centres on one campus, delivered under a single appointment, and recognised by FIDIC in 2025.
Case study, defence
One architecture for six buildings of the Pakistan Naval Academy at Manora: gate house, cadets' block, sick bay, auditorium, sports complex and sailing centre.
Next step
The practice holds every discipline in-house, master planning, architecture, structure, services, infrastructure and supervision, under one appointment.
