CONCEPTUAL FORM

This design project is an office complex for architectural purpose. The form is a unique one with strategic recesses for natural lighting,ventilation and aesthetical purpose.

The building consists of a design studio, reception, administrative unit, offices, conference room, library, staff lounge, open gallery, toilets, and stores.

The space layout involved dividing the plan into three zones. the public, semi private and private zones respectively.

The design sits on two suspended floors with the ground floor accommodating the public and semi - private spaces while the first floor is strictly a priavte zone ( ceo’s office, quantity surveyor, accountant, project manager and the managing director’s offices).

01

The client was very particular about the visual appeal of the building. In other to further improve the aesthetics of the facade, a flexible metallic skin was incorporated into the exterior walls of the south end of the building. However, the aim was to make the office complex standout within the immediate environment which serves as its unique selling point.

Futhermore, different materials were used in achieving this. They include; hollow blocks, wood, glass, plaster boards, concrete, steel. The design takes a modern approach with an abundance of glass , functionality of the floor plan was a priority, flat roof as well as the exposure of steel structures.

This project is located in Nigeria, with the country having just two seasons which are the dry and wet season respectively.

Therefore, the design looked to exploit this by creating functional spaces with alot openings to let in natural light as well as ventilation making it more eco-friendly.

The design employs a simple approach by making sure that all spaces are efficiently used, and flows with one another. The interior spaces are welcoming and warm.

CONCEPTUAL FORM

This is a hotel design project that screams hospitality and comfort. The form evolution is a simple one with an infusion of an arc to an L-shapped rectangle. The idea behind this is to promote functionality within the design.

The building consists of a reception, restaurant, offices, kitchen, store, laundry, bar, toilets, single bedrooms, double bedrooms, standard bedrooms, luxury bedrooms.

The design sits on three suspended floors with cantilevered balconies.The ground floor consists of the most used spaces in the building like the restaurant, bar, kitchen and the reception.

The subsequent floors are more private with alot of rooms (standard rooms, single rooms etc) and hence more quiet.

Interiors

The design employs a simple approach by the use of less complicated shapes and mostly just horizontal and vertical lines but also making sure that all spaces are efficiently used, and flows with one another.

Futhermore, this project is a contemporary design with functionality of spaces as the main focus. Different materials were used and they include; hollow blocks, wood, glass, plaster boards, concrete, steel, flat roof as well as the exposure of steel structures.

This project also exploits the weather by providing alot of openings for natural light and ventilation as the environment is usually sunny. The cantilevered balconies gives the facade a modern and dynamic look. The arc also serves as a link that fuses the two rectangular sections of the structure.

The interior of the building provides a luxurious atmostphere and a little sense of royalty especially the executive suites which was made to standout from the rest of the other rooms based on hierarchy and class.

Software used: AutoCad, Sketchup, Lumion, Vray.

EVENT CENTRE

This design project is an event centre that serves as a multi-purpose space. The form immitates the shape of the land so as to maximise the entire area as it is a big project. A part of the project site was also set aside for future development and expansion.

The building consists of 2,450 conference seating,rehearsal rooms, changing rooms, central stage, back stage, toilets, projector room, circulation areas, acoustics control room, media room, sit outs, head office, equipment stores, e.t.c.

My role in this project includes; space planning, creation of schematic designs, site planning, 3D modeling, facade design, and exterior visualization.

The goal of this project was to create a space that encourages social interactions, community integration and promotes togetherness.

The approach taken in the design process of this project was to create spaces that are not only appealing to the users but also functional. The simplicity of the form made it easy to achieve the design goals which was to celebrate both the interior and exterior spaces.

South Elevation

Futhermore, different materials were used in this project to bring the design to life. They include; hollow blocks, wood, glass, plaster boards, concrete, steel.

There is an abundance of glass to connect the building to its surroundings as well as provide natural lighting and ventilation.

There are also exposed steel frames at the entrances to help celebrate this public building. The roof for the design is a flat one with parapet walls. The interior concept is free flowing circulation with the aim of limiting traffic within the interior space.

West Elevation

Futhermore, Spaces were divided into public and private. This categorization of spaces with similar functions, has made the flow with in spaces very efficient and completely eliminated the chances of redundancy.

The design concept was simply breaking off the right angle of each edge. The aim of this was to create planes that would support the creation of openings for natural lighting and ventilation.

Futhermore, this recess at the edges helped boost the asthetics of the facade. Different materials were used in this project.

They include; hollow blocks, wood, glass, plaster boards and concrete. This is a modern design with an abundance of glass, functionality of floor plan was a priority, flat roof with a little slope to give it that elegant look.

This design project is eco-friendly with emphasis on propagating both active and passive design approach to reduce the reliance on artificial elements for light and ventilation. The design project will produce little to no waste that would harm the environment.
