The brief required the development of 4 bedroom townhouse with a swimming pool on a tight site in Ikoyi, affluent Lagos suburb.

The design was informed by the desire to view the townhouse typology differently, also given the space constraints. All living spaces pivot off a central stair spine. The generation of the forms were as a result of the study of deconstructing blocks and planes to create simple and functional spaces and interesting forms. Extended volumes also provide shade over large window openings and all living spaces are cross ventilated, responding to local environmental conditions.

The building has been featured in several local and international publications as an example of modern yet contextual residential architecture.
