I couldn't get a clear interpretation of this design.
The designer (an architect/ a draftsman/an autocad user) needs to work well on the design.

Kindly help critique this design. Land size is 25 by 140 feet.

Your architect did a good job.
The Land is 7.5*42m, it is a narrow one.
Here are my observations.
The bend on the front wall is not good enough, it should be straight.
Secondly, the living room of the last apartment is non-functional if constructed as such.
The kitchen, v.toilet and entrance can be on a side as sketched below.

Alili!!!

No vex Oga.

Relating the design to your land size, you will battle to get a setback of 750mm(2ft6) on the left and right side which isn't adequate for effective air circulation and lighting.

The circulation within the spaces isn't good enough.

Generally I don't think any reasonable planning authority will approve this owing to the inadequate setbacks.

Ok. I actually used pressure treated ground contact lumber from Yellawood for the project.

They’re 13ft + long

They're in the USA.

Can't deal with importation wahala.

Is there provision for parking space for occupants?

The spaces are really choked up.

If only the land is a "corner-piece" land, the design could have been better.

He should visit Lagos island to get inspiration on how to manage narrow plots.

Yes sir. I this situation there are no options to explore. Besides, visitors ain't that paramount in such apartment.
Well, if you are considering aesthetics. The window could be a false one. Whereby it will be constructed using same height as that of kitchen or bedroom window but only the 0.6m part will be openable.

I concur but you’d even find similar designs in upscale areas of Lagos.

I’m only worried about having a bungalow on N18.5m land.

Hello house, who has an idea how many bags of ceiling POP cement that will finish 166sqm for an average design? These people don nearly finish me. Please your response would be appreciated.

Slice of a house.

These kind of houses violate almost every building code and should not be allowed to stand.

They build alot of rubbish on Lagos Island.

The ultimate decision is with the poster though..

But I'm not sure I'll buy that type of land. Except for a supermarket construction or other non live-in projects.

Like I said earlier, if it was a corner piece it's more understandable.
