Restoration of one of Karachi's landmark buildings. Built in the 1920s in the "Rajistan Moghul" style as a private residence for a prominent merchant, it later served as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and as the formal residence of M.A. Jinnah. The current restoration foresees the creation of a museum of Pakistani and regional decorative arts.
