We provide Architectural and Interior Design, Design & Build and Project Management services to both the private and public sector, in Lagos and beyond. Inspired by real life conditions, we analyse the complexity of relationships within each project without any assumption or preconceived idea. Our attempt is to remain intuitive and look for an angle to initiate dialogue. It is through this practice that the matter being observed naturally reveals itself and a feasible solution becomes clear. One underpinning element that has evolved from this approach is a design style that we term as ETC, ethno-tropical contemporary. ETC relates to spatial solutions based on contemporary design that takes into consideration our tropical climate and incorporates ethnic provenance in its internal styling and decoration, while staying true to a project’s essential purpose. The endeavour is to show the genuine possibility in creating designs that emerge through a process of collective dialogue, a face-to-face sharing of knowledge through imagination and thought process as opposed to a forced, contrived process.
