The ratio behind the name.

1.618 — φ, the golden ratio — appears wherever nature grows without waste: in shells, seeds and branching trees. Our name carries it. Our buildings try to earn it.

Reading the mark

Approach

How a 1point6D building comes to be.

  1. Aerial view through morning mist of the curving thatched roof and ponds
    01

    Read the site

    Sun path, prevailing winds, neighbours, trees and regulations — before any form is drawn.

  2. Courtyard garden of Tafazzal Residence with floor-to-ceiling glazing
    02

    Let the climate draw

    Bedrooms to the south-east breeze, services to the western sun, courtyards to pull air through.

  3. Monochrome massing study of Gulshan Residence's interlocking volumes
    03

    Find the proportion

    Massing, plans and façades tuned until the spaces feel inevitable.

  4. Corner view of The Artisan Retreat with its brown textile façade bands
    04

    Craft with honest materials

    Exposed brick, concrete, jali screens and planting that age gracefully with little upkeep.

  5. 29 Katha Residence — brick towers with white-framed verandas rising above a landscaped podium
    05

    Build it well

    Through 1point6D Holdings we can carry a project from land to keys.
