A Numismatic Experience Pavillion at Lahore Literary Festival ‘25

Serai by Allied Bank Limited - Lahore Literary Festival 2025

Lahore Children’s Festival 2026

Project | Lahore Children’s Festival 2026


The Lahore Children’s Festival pulls in huge numbers of kids and their families once a year, and Allied Bank was the primary sponsor of the 2026 event. Our studio designed the pavillion, kids’ activities, games and custom merchandise in record time.   

Structural Layout + Design

Core structure = 40ft x 40ft area. 
4 activity zones - coloring, painting, puzzles, climbing, gaming.

My father specifically wanted to higlight the lost games people played locally - things like marbles, wooden tops, gulli danda.

We designed custom pangram puzzles, surfaces for rolling traditional tops on, a climbin wall built with remarkable precision and strength and a custom play``````x



Structural integrity was a stern internal goal for us, which is why we over-specced the reinforcement of the pavilion walls with MS framework, welded in two locations before assembly on site. 

I also wanted to make sure that we got lots of sunlight, which luckily - the ABL board also wanted more of, so the initial slit like windows were expanded into beautiful large glass for the winter sun. 

The pavillion was set far enough to be seen in its entirey from afar - when people would be walking out of the main halls where events are held. 

Climbing Wall

For the meat of the experience, I wanted to tie in and connect the story to the bank in a way that didn’t scream “Look at me! We are a bank!” For this reason I thought - for some wild reason that I should be able to share Pakistan’s earliest currency notes as well as the earliest coins the country ever saw.
