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.
