This area is around old queens road, and average area of houses here is around 4000 sq.yards. Like shown here many have front at the road and backyard opening towards sea, back water.
Stunningly gorgeous...
I have started a thread about Karachi residence and offices earlier, you can use images from there and repost here as well if you like.

Abbottabad, KPK
Another one from Abbottabad
Fatima Jinnah Road, Karachi pakistan
Flag Staff House was purchased by the Father of Nation, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah in 1947 from its owner Sohrab Katrak, a leading citizen of Karachi. Designed by Engineer Moncrieff for the Karachi Brigade Commander, it was built in the colonial style with buff stone in fine ashlar masonry around the year 1865. This approximate date is recorded from the tiles used on the roof which bear the inscription Patent Basel Mission Tile Works, 1865. Upon construction it was used as the residence of Gen. Douglas Gracey, Commanding Officer of Sindh Area, i.e. it was the official Residence of the GOC and hence it was known as the Flagstaff House. The 10, 214 sq yd plot of land and the House are now owned by the Federal Ministry of Culture which plans to convert it into a Museum-cum-Library in memory of the Quaid-e-Azam.

I always liked this kind of house. It focused on the outdoor living space. Now everyone in our village lives in this type of house.
Money changes people, the type of house is inward facing and so are the people.
