5 Scissor House, Parkview, Ikoyi, Lagos.

The client required a standalone 4 bedroom house with and 2 semi detached townhouses also. The solution was to situate the main house at the front with own gate and grounds whilst providing a private entrance for the semi detached units at the rear of the plot.

The generation of the forms were as a result of the study of deconstructing blocks and planes to create interesting spaces. A central atrium with skylight allows light to permeate through to the lobby on entry. A feature staircase acts as the central route through with all habitable spaces either side of it. Private spaces are on the first and second floors. At the top is a terrace framed with 4m cantilevered beams, offering an area for relaxation.
