Dr. Imtiaz Apartment
Simplex Multi-Apartment · Housing Estate, Maizdee, Nowakhali · 2026

Strategically positioned on a visually exposed corner site within Housing Estate, Maizdee, Nowakhali, this mid-rise residential building is conceived as a sculpted vertical composition of shifting planes, recessed volumes, and cascading sky terraces. The architectural language celebrates the raw honesty of exposed concrete, tempered through layers of hanging greenery and warm interior illumination that animate the facade after dusk.

The design responds directly to Bangladesh's tropical climate by introducing deep cantilevered balconies, layered shading devices, and permeable facade elements that enhance cross-ventilation while mitigating solar heat gain. The corner orientation is exploited to generate multiple visual axes, dynamic frontage articulation, and a porous ground-level interface that invites urban interaction.

At the crown, a structural steel trellis frames the rooftop as a habitable threshold between built form and open sky. Outdoor living spaces integrated at every floor sustain a continuous dialogue between architecture, landscape, and atmosphere, transforming the residence into a living vertical habitat rather than a conventional apartment block.

Designed in 2026 and currently under construction, the project occupies a 3.5 katha site with a total construction area of 1,360 sqm. Design team: Khandoker Tariqul Islam, Iqbal Hossen Sunny, and Noshin Saiyara Karim.
