Klass Textiles
GOA's Role: Lead Architect, Landscape Design
Klass Textiles, located off Raiwand Road in Lahore, is a factory designed with an emphasis on both industrial efficiency and the well-being of its workforce. Serving as a stitching plant, Klass Textiles provides high-quality garments to major global brands, while also fostering an environment that supports its employees through thoughtful design and integration of community-oriented spaces.
The factory features a simple yet effective cladding of brick on the exterior, chosen not only for its ability to contextualize the building within its surrounding environment but also for its low-maintenance qualities. Inside, key functional areas — stitching, quality control, and packaging — are clearly defined and positioned to allow for efficient movement of materials and workers. The integration of offices and administrative spaces within the facility ensures that management functions are aligned with the production areas.
In addition to the industrial areas, Klass Textiles incorporates spaces that consider the well-being of its workforce. A mosque is included within the design, providing a place for spiritual reflection and rest. Surrounding the factory are lawns and green spaces that offer areas for employees to take breaks and socialize, further enhancing the work environment and promoting a healthy, productive atmosphere.
The combination of practical industrial spaces with community-enhancing features like green lawns, a mosque, and office facilities ensures that the factory is more than just a production center — it is a place where work and well-being are balanced, creating a positive environment for both the business and its workforce.
