Occupying a prime coastal plot on Victoria Island, this private residence commands panoramic views of the Lagos Bight through a carefully arranged sequence of open-plan living volumes. The design centres on a courtyard pool axis that draws ocean breezes through the home’s interior, while deep overhanging eaves moderate equatorial light. Raw concrete, local stone, and curated plantings build a material palette grounded firmly in the Nigerian coastal context — an intimate house that belongs entirely to its site.

Key Features

  • Six-bedroom private residence with 1,100m² of total floor area across three levels

  • Courtyard pool axis geometrically aligned to the prevailing south-west sea breeze

  • Full-height glazed walls on the ocean-facing elevation framing unbroken Lagos Bight views

  • Material palette of board-formed raw concrete, local laterite stone, and teak screens

  • Integrated smart-home automation and roof-mounted photovoltaic energy system
