HarSukh Art Residency near Lahore is a highly regarded private arts and living complex designed by Kamil Khan Mumtaz on a family agricultural estate commissioned by Jawad Khawaja and Bina Khawaja. Developed on a 5 hectare site, it is planned as an inward looking community where daily life, learning, and creative practice happen side by side, blending a family home with dedicated spaces for visiting artists and cultural activity in a calm rural setting.
The complex brings together multiple components including a family house, working studios for visual and performing artists, visitor accommodation, a school, a swimming pool, staff quarters, and utility services such as a sewage treatment plant, all organized to support long stays and quiet production. The clients priorities of low cost construction, energy efficiency, and water conservation shaped both the planning and the making of the project, so the architecture becomes practical, climate responsive, and deeply connected to the land rather than purely decorative.
