OVER THE PERIOD OF MY UNDERGRAD YEARS I DEVELOPED A KEEN INTEREST IN AN ARCHITECTURAL STYLE THAT SEEKS AFTER A SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE BUILDING ENVIRONMENT AND THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT ALLOWING BUILDING USERS TO BE IN TOUCH WITH NATURE THROUGH BIOPHILIC DESIGN PRINCIPLES.

02|RETIREMENT HOME
YEAR: 3OOLVL ALPHA SEMESTER SUPERVISOR: DR. O.F. JEGEDE BUILDING TYPE: RESIDENTIAL SOFTWARE USED:
THE PROJECT WAS TO DESIGN A RETIREMENT HOME SCHEME TO BE REPLICATED WITHIN AN ESTATE FOR SENIOR CIVIL SERVANTS AGE 65 TO 100 AS PART OF THE GOVERNMENT’S PLAN TO ENCOURAGE HONEST AND DILIGENT WORK ETHICS. MY APPROACH TO THE DESIGN WAS ONE THAT SEEKED TO PROVIDE OPTIMAL VIISIBILITY WITHIN THE INTERIOR SPACES WITH LARGE SPANNING WINDOWS AND CLEAR FLOOR WIDTH. THERE IS AN INTENTIONALITY IN MY DESIGN TO CONNECT THE USERS TO THE EXTERNAL ENVIRONMENT THROUGH OUTDOOR TERRACES AND A BACKYARD FARM GARDEN.

03|CANAAN CITY RESTAURANT
YEAR: 2OOLVL OMEGA SEMESTER SUPERVISOR: ARCH. ADETORO OLUFUNMILAYO BUILDING TYPE: COMMERCIAL
THE BRIEF WAS TO DESIGN A 200-CAPACITY FAMILY ORIENTED RESTAURANT THAT IS TO BE LOCATED WITHIN A CITY DEVELOPMENT PROJECT WHEREBY FAMILIES CAN EAT COMFORTABLY OUTSIDE THE CONFINES OF THEIR HOMES. THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT WAS TO PROMOTE SOCIAL COHESION AMONG THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY THEREBY CREATING A TIGHT KNIT COMMUNITY. MY APPROACH TOWARDS THE DESIGN WAS TO ENSURE EFFICIENT FLOW OF MOVEMENT WITHIN THE RESTAURANT. I ACHIEVED THIS BY SOMEWHAT MIMICKING THE CLUB SHAPE WHICH ALLOWED ME TO SEPARATE THE RESTAURANT INTO DISTINCT PARTS WHILE HAVING A FORM OF CONNECTION THAT MAKES IT A WHOLE. THIS SHAPE ALSO ALLOWS FOR THE POSSIBLE EXPANSION OF THE BUIDING BY FURTHER PULLING OUT ANY OF THE SIDES AS THE CASE MAY RISE.
