OKUNA RESIDENCE

PROJECT SUMMARY

LOCATION: OGHARA, DELTA STATE, NIGERIA

LAND SIZE: A PLOT

DESIGN YEAR: 2023

CLIENT: MR. OKUNA

CONTRACTORS: CRISPY VINE

ARCHITECTURAL STYLE: TROPICAL NIGERIAN ARCHITECTURE

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

Embarking on the construction of a personal residence, Mr. Okuna enlisted the services of our affiliate, Crispy Vine, presenting a 5-bedroom duplex design with a focus on crafting a tropical aesthetic marked by simplicity and sophistication. This led us to formulate a cost-effective and modern plan.

Despite the irregular land shape, our priority was aligning the design with the specifications of the Local Town Planning Authority of Oghara Kingdom in Delta State, ensuring spacious bedrooms, kitchens, and living rooms to meet all necessary design requirements.

DESIGN DETAILS

The residence features:

  • Bedrooms, all en-suite
  • A spacious living room and dining area
  • A control room
  • Spacious kitchens

The design incorporates modern contemporary ideas, utilizing basic pitched roof design concepts.

MATERIALS

Given the high rainfall, the roofing material consists of short or long-span aluminum roofing sheets. Walls are constructed using regular Sand Crete blocks, finished with paintings, wood wall tiles, and facing brick on plastered walls. The flooring is adorned with vitrified floor tiles, chosen for their durability in the public spaces of the building.
