This striking, minimal beach pavilion was designed to have a fully indoor/outdoor feel, with the comfort of a living room in a space that is largely open with dramatic views and cooling airflow. It is conceived as a space to gather away from the frenetic energy of Lagos, as it is located on a peninsula accessible only by boat from the core of the city, the clean-lined, elegant space has the feeling being nestled on a remote, natural island yet is still within city limits, serving as a nearby rural outpost for easy day trips.

This project possess a paradoxical challenge – the clients want a compact and not-so-big home, but they also want large spaces. In response to the brief, we started off by creating a simple compact box, the box was then gridded into nine smaller boxes with each box representing different spatial programme. The gridded box was later “defragmented” a little by repositioning two of the boxes. By moving the boxes, we maintained a compact form and sizeable interior spaces are made to appear larger as they open up onto the surroundings.
