A Phased Strategy for Practical Execution
Although designed as a single cohesive structure, the home was delivered with a phased construction strategy to give the client flexibility over time. This enabled:
- Efficient material procurement without overextending budget
- Staged utility connection and internal fit-out
- Minimal disruption as each floor was completed and finished
By sequencing construction in line with cash flow, the client maintained full control over quality and progress at every stage.
Designed for Climate, Comfort & Security
Situated in Nigeria’s warm tropical climate, the design team prioritized both climate adaptation and user well-being. Core strategies included:
- Orientation: Living spaces face prevailing winds for passive cooling
- Shading: Deep overhangs and cantilevered slabs reduce solar heat gain
- Ventilation: Strategically placed windows promote cross-breezes throughout the home
The layout also incorporates security-conscious design:
- Controlled access points
- CCTV conduit routing
- Pre-configured zones for video intercom and motion sensors
This ensures peace of mind without compromising architectural beauty.
Smart, Elegant Spaces Built for Family Living
Inside, the home’s layout emphasizes natural light, clean lines, and versatile room use:
- Main Level: Open-plan living and dining, kitchen, guest room, and service spaces
- Upper Level: Three ensuite bedrooms, family lounge, and balconies with privacy screening
- Bonus Feature: A rooftop penthouse for flexible use as a studio, retreat, or future expansion
These spatial decisions cater to both growing families and modern lifestyle needs.
