Modern Bungalow with Penthouse – Smart & Stylish Living
Contemporary Comfort Meets Smart Design
In the heart of Nigeria, Cadright Architecture recently completed a forward-thinking residential project: a modern 3-bedroom bungalow complemented by a private penthouse. This residence fuses elegant simplicity with smart technology, future-readiness, and phased construction planning to meet the evolving lifestyle of today’s discerning homeowner.
Project Overview
- Project Title: Modern Smart Bungalow + Penthouse
- Location: Nigeria
- Project Type: Residential – Bungalow with Penthouse Extension
- Client Type: Private Homeowner
- Services Rendered: Design, Phased Construction Strategy, Smart Planning
- Status: Completed
Phased Development with a Personalized Approach
To align with the client’s funding flow and long-term goals, the project was delivered in a strategic two-stage process:
- Phase 1: Core 3-bedroom bungalow, including open-plan living, ensuite bedrooms, and efficient service layout
- Phase 2: Penthouse suite addition, designed for guest hosting, privacy, or future rental flexibility
Each phase was designed with independent utilities and minimal disruption to existing functions, allowing the client to build with confidence and control costs without compromising quality or vision.
Designed for Nigeria’s Climate and Context
With the Nigerian climate in mind, Cadright applied passive design strategies and site-specific orientation:
- Orientation: Windows and living spaces positioned to capture prevailing breezes and natural light
- Shading: Deep roof overhangs and shaded outdoor zones for thermal comfort
- Ventilation: Cross-ventilated layout reducing reliance on mechanical cooling
These strategies ensure the home remains energy-efficient, naturally lit, and comfortable throughout the year.
Blending Security, Smart Tech & Accessibility
The home was also planned with long-term ease of use and tech-readiness:
- Security: CCTV conduits, smart gate prep, and strategic entry zone positioning
- Lighting: Zoned lighting layout ready for smart switch and dimming integration
- Energy: Solar inverter-ready power distribution for energy independence
- Accessibility: Ground-level bungalow floorplan with wide corridors and future ramp adaptation options
These provisions allow the client to upgrade at their own pace while ensuring safe, secure, and comfortable living.
Flexible Spaces, Modern Living
The layout maximizes everyday convenience while allowing lifestyle versatility:
- Main Bungalow: Three ensuite bedrooms, a central open-plan lounge/kitchen, and direct access to landscaped outdoor areas
- Penthouse: Self-contained upper suite ideal for guests, work-from-home, or rental, with a private terrace and views
The clean architectural lines, minimal maintenance surfaces, and integrated smart provisions make this home truly built for now and the future.

- Phased construction guidance tailored to personal budget and timeline
