Banana Island Villas
We were commissioned to design three villas in the affluent Banana Island neighbourhood of Lagos, Nigeria. Our design drew inspiration from the traditional forms of housing in South West Nigeria which are typically organised around courtyards which are the communal heart of the dwellings.
We introduced passive solar design measures in the design to minimise heat gain and reduce energy demand for cooling. Swimming pools are included in the design and have been located in the courtyards to help provide evaporative cooling.
