MALIK

TYPOLOGY : Residential
CLIENT : Malik Adeyemi
PLOT SIZE : 1,436sqm
LOCATION : Ogun, Nigeria
STATUS : Construction Documentation   

Sitting on a plot measuring about 1400sqm in size, the building fits just on a small footprint leaving very generous green area surrounding the building.

The Client’s brief calls for a modern home that caters for 3 generations of grandparents, parents and children. Being an intergenerational home, the design strives to find the balance between interactions and privacy – we want to create a home where everyone can come together to interact and enjoy each other’s company, but one that also respect the privacy of each resident.

To archive this we came up with spaces with “moving parts” of pocket doors, slats and screens. These elements allow the users to either open up or close off spaces as required.

The exterior is finished with clean and sharp edges and features recesses to accentuate the building’s volume and enhance its simplicity. Aluminium slats and fluted panels have also been carefully incorporated to provide shade and texture respectively.
