Summary Pakistan welcomes back Miami's most decorated residential architect, joined by London interior studio Jolie for its first-ever project in the country
LAHORE (Web Desk) - Pakistan - One Homes, Pakistan's fastest-growing premium residential developer, has confirmed two landmark design appointments for its upcoming Lahore West development: the return of Miami-based architect Kobi Karp and the debut of London interior design studio Jolie. The appointment marks the studio's first project in Pakistan.
Today's announcement follows One Homes' significant land acquisition in Lahore West, the site for the developer's next signature address, conceived specifically for Pakistanis living overseas.
"One Canal brought some of Miami's magic to Lahore. This time we're going to be blending Lahore's rich history with modern design and aesthetics. Think luxury living with cultural rooting, tapping into Lahore's millennial history."
Kobi Karp, Founder & Principal, Kobi Karp Architecture & Interior Design
It was as lead design architect on One Canal Road, One Homes' flagship Lahore development, that Karp first shaped what would become one of the city's most recognised addresses, and it is that same eye he now turns toward Lahore West. His return reflects the strength of that earlier collaboration as much as the ambition behind what comes next, with a design intent he describes as shifting from import to interpretation, anchored in Lahore's layered architectural identity to produce a building that belongs to its city as much as it reaches beyond it.
Joining him is Jolie, the London-based interior design studio behind Victoria Riverside in Manchester and The Nest in Frankfurt, with a practice built on a sensory-led design philosophy that treats atmosphere as architecture and centred on how spaces are lived, how they feel underfoot, in ambient light, in the quiet moments between.
"The way a home feels cannot be treated as an afterthought. It shapes how people settle, how they pause, and how they connect to the space around them. What we as a team at Jolie are specialists at is creating interiors that feel emotionally intelligent from the outset. This is our first project in Pakistan, and our first with One Homes, and it feels like the right place to start both."
Franky Rousell, Founder & CEO, Jolie
Overseas Pakistanis, a community One Homes has built deep expertise in serving across its portfolio, are the focus of the developer's upcoming Lahore West development, with a curated amenity programme designed around their lifestyle requirements and further details to be announced in the coming weeks.
These appointments land amid sustained momentum for One Homes, momentum built on Diyàr, Pakistan's first wellness-led residential development that extended the company's ambitions into an entirely new living category, and three other developments launched since One Canal Road, together totalling more than two million square feet.
