Our Ethos

Mundist; A Dari word meaning
artist, or architect.

Mundist was established by Samia Ali Khan in October 2016, and since then has aimed to deliver carefully curated, yet personalized living spaces that turn a house into a home. Our values incorporate integrity with passion, vision with expertise, and most of all, a love for design. We at Mundist promise you comfort and content, as we strive to redefine interior architecture with art through nostalgia in wide horizons. Whether it be creating a neutral, sophisticated palette, or adding splashes of color for vibrancy- your vision is personal to our design process- we only breathe life into it to create your safe space.

A Little Of Our Story

Meet Samia Ali Khan

The face behind Mundist: Samia graduated from IVS in 2007, with a Bachelor’s in Architecture degree. She went on to work at Tariq Qaiser Associates for 8 months, after which she joined Weber Consulting’s design team – a New Zealand based company located in Dubai – overseas. There, she took the opportunity to work on an in-depth industrial design project which expanded her skills and expertise. After two years she returned to Pakistan in 2010, joining Coalesce Design Studio as a senior architectural designer before establishing Mundist in 2016.

Her vast experience and exposure to design hail back to the background she grew up with, and the environment that shaped her identity in the ways that she fosters a sharp eye for detail. Her inclination towards interiors was nurtured by her Afghan roots, and her professional journey has constantly overlapped with her artistic nature and a love for a carefully curated palette. There’s nothing that brings her joy like the design- and it is that same happiness she hopes to cultivate with her work amongst her clients.
