This project started with a call from a returning client. We had already designed rental apartments for this same plot, but he changed his mind.

“I want my own duplex,” he said, “but I don’t want tenant wahala.”

His priority wasn’t cost—it was privacy. He wanted to enjoy his home while still earning rental income.

On a narrow site, that meant rethinking the entire layout. We designed a solution with separate entrances for the owner and tenants, giving both privacy while keeping everything under one roof.

Sharing this for people that has narrow plots

We designed this 3 bedroom bungalow with attached mini flats on a half plot.

The idea was to create something modern, clean and still practical for the current Nigerian economy and land realities.

Recently worked on this living room concept for a modern apartment project.
The goal was to keep the space warm and minimal without overcrowding the ceiling or walls.

A few things we intentionally focused on:

Full height TV wall panels to make the room feel taller
Indirect warm lighting instead of too many spotlights
Neutral fabric tones to balance the dark wood finish
Concealed lighting details to avoid visual clutter
Large curtain drop to soften the space and improve natural lighting

Too many finishes or excessive lighting details can easily make a space feel noisy.

Design Brief : Mini flats Designs

Just wrapped up a 8-unit mini flat design on a 600sqm plot for a returning client.

The goal was simple push the land to its limit without overcomplicating construction.

Mono-pitch roof, tight but functional planning, and proper ventilation across all units.

With how things are going, this type of layout is quietly becoming the norm.

Soil test. The first time I'm hearing of this. I'm wondering how it is done

A team comes to the site with a drilling machine and bores a small hole into the ground (sometimes up to 6–10 meters deep depending on the project).

As they drill, they bring out soil samples from different depths and record how the soil behaves at each level whether it’s soft, firm, wet, sandy, or clay.

They also carry out a test (called penetration test) to check how resistant the ground is basically how hard it is to push into it.

All these results are then taken to the lab for proper analysis.
At the end, you get a report that tells you how strong the soil is how deep your foundation should go and the type of foundation suitable for that land.
