Umbrella Designs Limited

Umbrella Designs Limited is a young architectural practice established in Nigeria since 2014. Umbrella Designs is a firm with a group of architects, designers, builders, and thinkers operating within the fields of architecture, project management, facility management, interior design, consulting, real estate, construction and developing services for corporate, residential, commercial, educational clients. The office is currently involved in a large number of projects throughout Nigeria. Umbrella Designs architecture emerges out of a careful analysis of how contemporary life constantly evolves and changes. We believe that in order to deal with today’s challenges, architecture can profitably move into a field that has been largely unexplored. A pragmatic utopian architecture that steers clear of the petrifying pragmatism of boring boxes and the naïve utopian ideas of digital formalism. Like a form of programmatic alchemy we create architecture by mixing conventional ingredients such as living, leisure, working, parking and shopping. By hitting the fertile overlap between pragmatic and utopia, we architects once again find the freedom to change the surface of our planet, to better fit contemporary life forms.
