Faber Park

Faber Park. The clients for this Project are a couple with three young children, – a set of twins and a younger child, all under 10. Their main aim was to maximise outdoor space whilst not compromising living areas. It was therefore essential that there would be sufficient space for the children to play outdoors as well as indoors. The priority of creating an open living space with a direct relationship to a large outdoor space became a driving force in the scheme.

The overall concept, derived from the clients’ requirements, was to create a living space open to the outdoors in a clean contemporary aesthetic. The building would need to allow fluid movement between each space within and perform as a sustainable mechanism.

There is nothing wrong with dreaming. The Lord who gives one 2milla to take manage build 3bedroom bungalow in ibafo/Ikorodu can take one to Ikoyi/Lekki one day. More designs are coming. Watch out!

I guess I would stop on this design to bring more interesting designs later.

Consequently, the above layer of courtyard should be able to be penetrated by sunlight and natural air to give life to courtyard below.

We decide to apply shallow reflecting pond within above courtyard and using glass as a base of it, to allow daylight penetrate the courtyard and room below.

The shadow of moving water during daytime from reflecting pond, give a sense of nature inside the foyer room below. We also craft few voids / holes within second layer courtyard to give an access to daylight and air to room below.

Architectural concept

In respond to limited site, compare to huge program. we try to elaborate and combine two courtyard spaces, which arranged vertically and super impose each other.

First courtyard was put on raised ground floor, which can be act also as a transition and buffer area from public space in front and rear, semi public, living room. Second courtyard located on the second floor, which will be act as intermediate outdoor space from master bedroom and surrounding neighborhood.

Static house

Context and location
The site is 600 square meter land area which located in medium dense, semi detached, without any physical and building typology from one and another.

The client came to us with a particular vision of garden house, which can maximize a correlation to outdoor space from within. From client’s brief of room program, come to quite huge area of 800 square meter, which should be located within limited site.

I will start with Static House.

31 injured in Nigeria election rally stampede

PORT HARCOURT, Nigeria (AP) ? A police official in Nigeria says 31 people have been injured in a stampede at an election rally in the oil-rich southern delta attended by President Goodluck Jonathan.Rivers state police spokesman Rita Inoma-Abbey told The Associated Press on Saturday that the stampede began as people tried to push their way into the Port Harcourt Liberation Stadium.

Jonathan wasn't injured.Inoma-Abbey said she had no information about fatalities, though a spokesman for Jonathan later issued a statement saying there had been an "unfortunate loss of some lives."Such stampedes remain a danger at large events in Nigeria, where police often have no formal training handling large crowds.The rally comes as Nigeria prepares for elections in April. ,
