At DBL — Design Build Live, we turn ideas into spaces that feel effortless to live in and beautiful to look at. If you’ve been searching for architectural design services in Islamabad, you’re in the right place. Our architects and interior designers work as one team to plan, visualize, document, and get your drawings ready for house map approval (CDA/RDA) without friction.
Every home begins with your story: morning routines, family time, privacy, and comfort. We translate that story into layouts that flow, rooms that breathe, and details that feel intentional. Design at DBL is clarity first—so what you see on paper is what you experience in real life.
Islamabad’s light, climate, and lifestyle call for designs that look contemporary and live comfortably. We optimize orientation, daylight, and ventilation; we plan for storage, movement, and noise control; and we balance minimalist lines with warm materials. This is modern done right—for real families, on real plots, in real neighborhoods.
If you’re comparing options for a residential architecture firm in Rawalpindi, know this: we don’t reuse drawings. We study your site, proportions, and by-laws, then craft a plan that fits your life—10 marla, 1 kanal, or a custom brief. From kitchen triangles to guest circulation, everything feels planned, not improvised.

Sustainability at DBL is practical: cooler rooms, better light, lower running costs. We recommend passive shading, insulation where it matters, efficient plumbing and lighting, and durable materials for high-wear zones. Good design should feel great on day one—and year ten.
As an interior design company Islamabad homeowners trust, we curate palettes, textures, and lighting that work with the architecture—not against it. Because architecture and interior design (Pakistan) can’t be an afterthought, our designers collaborate from day one so the finishes, joinery, and furniture complete the plan you approved.
Every project begins with trust, and ends with a home our clients are proud to live in.
Here’s what some of them shared about their experience with DBL.
Clear answers make confident clients. Here are a few things people usually ask before starting their project.
There isn’t one flat rate. The price changes with the size of your plot and how detailed you’d like the design to be. After a quick chat about what you’re planning, we share a simple cost outline so everything is clear from the start.
Most homes are designed in roughly a month or two. Some move faster, others take a bit longer — it depends on how detailed the layout is and how quickly ideas are finalized.
Yes, our staff is responsible for the entire approval process—drawing preparation, submission, and coordination of revisions—so your design is free of any by-law issues.
Certainly. Numerous clients start with our design-only services and eventually opt for our Build and Live teams after they get a sense of our planning's clarity and precision.
