Orile House, Lagos (Nigeria)
Embarking on a transformative journey, where one might say, “my blockwork carries the vibrant essence of West Africa,” with the same pride as, “my marble hails from Venice’s storied quarries.” A celebration of Nigerian architecture, here the artistry of construction technology shapes a narrative of value, heritage and deep cultural roots.
Introduction
Immerse yourself in the renaissance unfolding in Orile – a site of thoughtful regeneration and a new benchmark in Nigerian architecture. The Studio takes charge of the inaugural phase, extending the existing structure skyward to introduce an additional floor, crowned by a private rooftop garden.
Approach
This avant-garde mixed development introduces four luxurious upper-floor apartments seamlessly complemented by ground-level domains, housing offices, parking facilities, and dedicated service areas. The envelope design unfolds as a meticulous ode to embracing and unravelling the intricate tapestry of existing technologies.
In the pursuit of sustainability, the Studio intertwines blockwork, render, and timber with an emphasis on water storage and the seamless integration of solar panels, shaping a harmonious and eco-conscious haven that speaks to the essence of responsible living.
