Elevated Penthouse Duplex – Redefining Luxury Living in Urban Nigeria
A Sculpted Statement in Vertical Luxury
Cadright Architecture presents a landmark residential project in urban Nigeria: a luxury duplex with an elevated pent floor that merges bold verticality with refined horizontal flow. Designed to reinterpret high-end urban living, the residence features expansive interiors, a rooftop terrace retreat, and a minimalist-modern façade, all grounded in climate-smart and future-ready planning.
This project reflects a growing demand for private luxury homes that balance openness, security, and design sophistication in a rapidly densifying city context.
Project Overview
Project Title: Elevated Penthouse Duplex – Urban Residential Landmark
Location: Nigeria
Project Type: High-End Private Residence – Duplex + Pent Floor
Client Type: Private Homeowner
Services Rendered: Architectural Design, Phased Strategy, Smart Infrastructure Planning
Project Status: Completed
Staged Planning for Precision and Privacy
To manage construction complexity and design integrity, Cadright implemented a two-phase execution strategy:
- Phase 1: Core duplex structure, including ground and first floors with primary residential zones
- Phase 2: Elevated pent floor and rooftop terrace integration, completed with smart utilities and finishing upgrades
This phasing ensured continuous quality control while allowing for advanced customization of the upper-level living and entertainment spaces.
Designed for Light, Air & Lifestyle
Spatial clarity and luxury were achieved by combining modern geometry with climate-sensitive architecture:
- Orientation: Carefully sited to minimize heat gain while capturing prevailing breezes
- Natural Light: Full-height glazing and wide-span windows in living and lounge areas
- Shading: Projected overhangs, recessed balconies, and brise-soleil elements reduce solar load
- Ventilation: Open-plan layout with vertical circulation promoting passive airflow
This responsive envelope ensures year-round comfort without compromising elegance or openness
A Home That Embodies Elevated Living
Every level of the home was curated for functionality and indulgence:
- Ground Floor: Open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas with uninterrupted sightlines
- Upper Floor: Private lounges, ensuite bedrooms, and flexible family areas
- Pent Floor: Premium master suite with panoramic views, walk-in dressing, and a spa-inspired bath
- Rooftop Terrace: Semi-private outdoor living zone ideal for entertaining, yoga, or evening lounging
With a clean architectural language and generous vertical stacking, the home creates a true sense of scale and sophistication.
Smart Provisions Built into the Blueprint
Future-readiness was integral to the home’s design, enabling seamless tech integration over time:
| Smart Area | Provision Highlights |
|---|---|
| Security | CCTV conduit layout, motion sensor zones, video intercom prep |
| Lighting | Dimmable circuits, smart switch locations, and daylight sensors |
| Energy | Solar inverter zones, energy-efficient fixture planning, UPS routing |
| Access | Gate automation readiness, smart door locks at key entry points |
By embedding smart infrastructure during construction, the homeowner retains full control to evolve the tech profile as preferences or systems advance.
