Mixed-Use Developments

AFRINVEST HEAD OFICE BUILDING- Osborne Ikoyi, Lagos

REAN ASSURANCE PLC HEAD OFFICE – Bayo Kuku, Ikoyi

Mixed-use Development at: 10 Bayo Kuku Road

IKOYI.

The brief which we were set for this mixed use development was as such:

- A conceptual design for a mixed –use development on a site located at 10

Bayo Kuku.

- Proposed building must attract maximum income, be easily lettable and

must make maximum use of the available space.

- Proposed building must conform with planning/development regulations and

must be environmentally friendly. It must also be easily adapted to change.

- Proposed building must be forward looking, have low running/maintenance

cost and must be easily upgraded.

-Proposed building must have services backed up to the second level.

In our design response, we sought to:

Maximise the utility of the site for both the developer and investors; To have a

building that would be flexible with spaces and utilization; durable;

adequately secured efficient and economical Building which would require

little maintenance. A Building should take advantage of the pleasant

surrounding views, and a building which would serve as a landmark.

PROPOSED OFFICE DEVELOPMENT - Ikoyi.

LAGOS, NIGERIA.

The design brief requested for: “a striking (iconic), modern yet timeless

building; adequate car parking; provision of space for Afrinvest on two floors;

complement of commercial spaces; well landscaped grounds…” and “the

design must conform to relevant building bye-laws”

In our response, we sought to provide: a head office design with residual

leasable space; car parking commensurate with ‘a grade’ office

accommodation; apply standards that are higher than those legislated for;

provide upscale apartments that are secure and private; orient and shape

the building to be energy efficient (sustainable design); juxtapose cost, land

value & good urban design to get optimal form / size; consciously reconcile

the building with its users - provide a user friendly facility – open plan, rich

landscape, organic spaces; stands powerfully and confidently within its

grounds without being visually sympathetic to its environment.

Mixed-Use Developments

PROJECT VIPER DEV.- Lekki

CONDOMINIUMS & HOTEL -Lekki

MIXED USE DEVELOPMENT – LekkiHotel & Condominiums

The Design is for an up-scale multi-useproperty located in Lekki on 7Ha ofbeachfront consisting of:

•5 star 300 room hotel•Events & convention Centre•Various condominiums

A deliberately contemporary and modern design is proposed for the

Commercial/ Offices Building based on the strong and organic form of ‘Zain’

logo. With ellipsoidal facades to critical frontages at all levels to provide live

elevations.

Within the discipline of simple and organic legible forms, the design articulates

the particular nature of the site and their context. A unitized system of Glazing

are common to all office frontages: A consistent theme throughout the

elevations is the adoption of ‘two drums on a podium’ design strategy. This

allowed for a more consistent and holistic architectural language, which

compliments a very differing streetscapes on the major elevations

The southern tower, hereby referred to as Tower II, is ideally located to take

advantage of the beautiful views of Lekki towards the Atlantic Ocean offered

from such location.

The northern tower, hereby referred to as Tower 1, is located on the North

podium to take advantage of views across the Lagoon and Victoria Island.

The Design for the Offices / Commercial Building has taken cognizance of the

architectural requirements to stand out from most other buildings within the

vicinity of the locality and also be Unique and a landmark building. The

introduction of a shaded and naturally ventilated Atrium, brings with it its’ own

brand of design, which acts effectively as the link between the two towers on

two separate but conjoined podiums.

The Main Entrance is at the end of a triple volume space, which invokes a ‘sense

of entry’ upon approach, with two escalators and a ‘landscaped’ stairs in

between. The impression is thus created of what is termed as the ‘stairway of

light’. By the middle of ascent on the escalator/ stair, a glimpse of the ‘The

Capsule’ floating in the Atrium can be caught, hovering just above the revolving

main entrance doors. To the right on landing is located the Crèche for staff

members with children.

The proposed site is approximately 18,822 m2 (1.88Hectares), and the total built up areacovers approxi 24.4% of the site. The design guidelines are derived from a completelyrational appreciation of the site, hence the major project objectives are reliability,flexibility, security and efficiency.

The scheme consists of an array of 6 buildings, with building heights ranging between 4 –12 floors and pent houses being the crown of some of these buildings.The scheme provided for 94 units in total (including 6 penthouse apartments) landscapedgardens, recreational spaces, and services out-house buildings.

MOTOWAYS PROPERTY & DEVELOPMENT COMPANYResidential Development, Lekki

The proposal is for the provision of high- end serviced apartments to cater for a growing tourism industry in Lagos and Nigeria ingeneral.

The Design evolves around one typical tower (35 Apartments) intelligently arranged and multiplied three times on a 26, 828.68sq.m Site facing the Atlantic Ocean. The orientation of the three towers on the site created a relaxed ambience around acentral swimming pool, surrounded by undulating landscaped terraces and shallow water pool. The ocean breeze can be feltthroughout the development thus complimenting its’ proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. Similarly, the development also has its’own dedicated gymnasium, communal Lounge, multi- purpose hall, function room and Tennis court, thus an ‘oasis of calm’communal residence along the Atlantic Ocean is created.

250 car parking spaces have been provided for the whole development. This is in keeping with the statutory requirements andalso includes visitor’s parking spaces for each serviced apartment.

Towards the north side of the site is the Lekki Beach Road beyond which is the palm tree lined Atlantic Ocean Beach,providing a very serene atmosphere .

The clients brief detailed that we provide a high density residential building which: provides the

maximum use of space without discounting the overall ambience, and is commercially viable.

Our proposal for 26 dwelling units – with varying layouts and sizes – was designed to be functional,

iconic, and aesthetically pleasing.

We also sought to design a building which is efficient and functional; is easy to maintain; conforms

to Lagos State’s planning regulations. We also sought to balance quality and cost, whilst focusing

on sustainability, energy conservation and delivering a timeless building which is sympathetic to its

environment without being too imposing on the neighboring architectural vernacular of the area.

Mini Estate Development

Having already Master-Planned the Estate development, we went further by winning a Design

Competition to for a 120 identical units (Luxury apartments) on the residential-zoned site at

the heart of the Twin-Lakes Estate.

The core principles of the design was to embrace the spirit and culture of the estate and the

intended users by introducing spaces specific to ‘our’ local needs. Some of which are: the

integration of domestic staff facilities, drop-off zones, open spaces for communal activities,

recreational facilities, covered parking, concierge, health & fitness facilities etc.

The development has been designed to limit congestion at all driveways and entry points by

carefully planning the access & circulation road networks to be as free of obstruction as

possible and creating several secure access points to channel residents from their parking

spaces to their apartments as quickly & efficiently as possible. The buildings have been

carefully laid-out in line with the North-South transition, and the flow is only broken up by the

central playground - a communal green which serves the dual purpose of acting as a suitable

buffer between all buildings and encourages socialization amongst the residents.
