In a world where urban sprawl often overshadows nature, The Urban Oasis emerges as a revolutionary concept redefining city living. Conceived by visionaries Zulfiqar Paracha and Sara Adnan Paracha along with their team, this avant-garde project marries sustainability with luxury, offering an escape within the heart of the metropolis.
Nestled in an exclusive urban enclave, The Urban Oasis is a seamless blend of lush greenery and contemporary design. It isn’t just a residential space—it’s an experience that redefines wellness, where architecture harmonizes with nature. Team Zulfiqar Paracha, renowned for their innovation in design and urban planning, have meticulously crafted an environment that speaks to the modern elite’s desire for both tranquility and sophistication.
The Urban Oasis is a celebration of indoor-outdoor living. Terraces overlook a Van Gogh-inspired pool, while skylights bathe the interiors in natural light, creating a seamless connection with nature. The home’s design is a nod to Spanish architecture, with sloping roofs, stunning woodwork, and intricate details like hand-cut glass mosaics and hand-painted tiles. Japanese-inspired murals add an artistic touch, making this residence a haven for art lovers.
Sustainability is at the core of this project. Extensive indoor and outdoor plantations, curated by Durriya Kazi, thrive with the changing seasons, while large windows and skylights minimize the need for artificial lighting. Provisions for solar panels and energy-efficient design elements underscore the commitment to eco-friendly living.
With six spacious bedrooms, multiple lounges, a gym, and a multifunctional hall, The Urban Oasis caters to both luxurious living and practical needs. The basement, with its billiard room and well-lit pool area, adds a unique touch of functionality and flair.
As cities continue to expand, The Urban Oasis sets a new benchmark—one where nature and modernity intertwine effortlessly. It is more than a residence; it is a movement, signaling the future of conscious, high-end urban living.
We sat down with Zulfiqar and his partner and project head, Sara Adnan Paracha, to discuss their vision, their inspirations, and the philosophy behind their work.
Q: Your brand is known for creating homes, not just houses. Can you elaborate on that philosophy?
Zulfiqar: We believe that a house should be more than just a structure; it should be a home, a place where families connect, where memories are made. Our goal is to create spaces that evoke warmth, comfort, and a sense of belonging. One’s home should be the ultimate sanctuary. It should feel like a wellness retreat, rather than stepping out of your house to find comfort and joy.
The Urban Oasis embodies this philosophy perfectly.
Q: The Urban Oasis is a beautiful blend of Mediterranean and Spanish influences. What inspired this design?
Zulfiqar: I’ve always been drawn to the architectural traditions of Spain and Italy. The emphasis on natural light, open spaces, and the integration of indoor and outdoor living resonates deeply with me. These influences are woven into the fabric of The Urban Oasis.
Q: Sara, how do you contribute to the vision behind these homes?
Sara: I work closely with Zulfiqar, overseeing the project from start to finish. My focus is on ensuring that every detail, from the layout to the finishes, contributes to the overall feeling of warmth and comfort. We want our homes to be both beautiful and functional, spaces where families can truly live and thrive.
Q: The Urban Oasis also showcases a strong commitment to sustainability.
Zulfiqar: Absolutely. We believe that luxury and sustainability should go hand in hand. The Urban Oasis maximizes natural light, features extensive plantings, and includes provisions for solar panels. We want to create homes that are not only beautiful but also responsible.
Q: How does The Urban Oasis stand out in the architectural landscape?
Sara: It’s about mindful luxury. We focus on sustainability without compromising on aesthetics. Every design choice—from materials to lighting—is intentional. Luxury doesn’t need to feel over exaggerated. Understated luxury is a concept we love to work with.
Zulfiqar: We emphasize experience over extravagance. The goal is to create spaces that feel alive, that evolve with time.
Q: What challenges did you face during the construction of Urban Oasis??
Sara: As you know a project of this size is all about teamwork. Working with so many people has its own sets of challenges. However, our stellar team and the talented panel of core consultants, made it an extremely rewarding experience in the end.
Q: What do you hope people will experience when they step into a Zulfiqar Paracha home?
Sara: We want them to feel a sense of peace, a connection to nature, and a sense of belonging. We want them to feel at home.
With The Urban Oasis, Zulfiqar and Sara are not just designing spaces—they are shaping the future of urban living. Their work stands as a testament to the power of innovation, sustainability, and thoughtful design.
