01 / The studio
A boutique collaborative of architects, interior designers and builders in Islamabad. We take on a small number of projects and listen first: to the site, the city and the people who will live there.
Elegant answers to complex problems. We challenge convention, explore new materials and let light lead the mood of every space.
Local artisans beside international makers, with detailing carried all the way to site. What we draw is what we build.

About
We don’t just design buildings; we co-create experiences. Architects, interior designers and builders under one roof, shaping spaces that resonate with people’s emotions, needs and aspirations.
Every project begins by listening: to the site, the city and the people who will live and work in it. Empathy is our guiding light.
Elegant solutions to complex problems. We challenge conventions, explore new materials and reimagine how spaces can feel.

What we do
Residential, commercial, hospitality and high-rise.
Layered, light-led interiors with material depth.
Light as the soul of a space: mood, warmth, wellbeing.
Execution, procurement and site delivery in-house.

A message from the CEO
“Design is not just about aesthetics; it’s about shaping experiences, improving lives, and leaving a positive mark on our environment. Our legacy will be the ideas we birth and the impact we create.”
Khyyam IkramChief Executive Officer
Trained in design in Turin and Milan, Khyyam leads KID/C with a particular passion for light, and a belief that the best spaces are co-created with clients, local artisans and international collaborators.
The partnership
KID/C is led by Khyyam Ikram and Ahmad Sohail. Khyyam brings the design vision, with a deep feeling for light and material. Ahmad, an architect, brings the rigour of architectural design, generative thinking and project delivery.
Together they hold design and execution under one roof, so what is imagined at the table is what gets built on site.

Branding & experience / curation
A space is only half the story. We build the identity around it: the name, the mark, the materials, the way a guest is welcomed, and the objects they remember.
Naming, logo, typography, colour and brand language shaped to the character of the space.
The journey from threshold to table or counter: lighting, scent, sound, service rituals and spatial storytelling.
Art, objects, furniture and finishes selected as one collection, so the brand is felt in every detail.
Current project
We are creating the brand and in-store experience for Aks, a lab-grown diamond store: an identity and retail environment that feels as refined and precise as the stones themselves.
Full case study to follow.
