TYPOLOGY : Residential

PLOT SIZE : 892sqm
LOCATION : Lagos, Nigeria
STATUS : Completed 2024

This is the third and final block in the “Stacks Series” – the same design principles used for the already built Plot I&II were applied albeit minor tweaks and improvements to give the building its own character without departing from the grand scheme.

The block is composed of 3 terrace units and 4 flats with the footprint of the terraces reduced – and distributed across four levels.

In order to compensate for limited green area at the ground level, we designed flat roofs intended for green roofs to serve as sky garden for the residents. The green roofs also come with their environmental benefits such as providing insulation, and helping to lower urban air temperatures and mitigate the heat island effect.

To effectively utilize the corner access roads and to ensure efficient circulation of both vehicular and pedestrian movement within the site, entrances to the site are on both roads such that the flats use a single entrance gate while each terrace have their independent entrances on the other road.

With all the units under one roof, the façades appear homogeneous (with playfully stacked balconies) but the development offers four prototypes of different configurations to ensure varying experience inside each unit.
