U R B A N I S M +/ H E R I T A G E T A L K I will be speaking at the University of Liverpool on New Alternative Nigerian Architecture (NANA): Reclaiming Identity through Context and Material. This is a movement redefining how we see design and build architecture in Nigeria. It is about reconnecting with our roots, using material, tone, and context to tell stories that truly belong to us. Join the conversation, wherever you are. 20 October 2025 | 12 PM (GMT+1) Link in bio to register. #NANA #NewAlternativeNigerianArchitecture #architectureInafrica #yorubaarchitecture #culturalIdentity #contextualdesign #materiality #africanmodernism #universityofliverpool #Obelaward #designforbelonging #fubu #architecture #patrickwaheed #PWDC

A R T I S T’ S R E S I D E N C E: This project has been nominated for our very own House of the Year. We are grateful to our Client for his patience and vision in trusting us to do what we love most. A special thanks to our Team and collaborators for sharing in this journey, and to everyone who has stopped by to remind us that we are doing our best for the built environment. And not to forget the horticulturist, whose touch has transformed an architectural masterpiece into a home, inspiring the artist to create amazing works of art #architecture #HouseOfTheYear #ArchitectureDesign #ModernArchitecture #ContemporaryArchitecture #ArchitecturalMasterpiece #ClientVision #DesignCollaboration #CreativePartners #BuiltEnvironment #FromHouseToHome #DesignThatInspires #LivingWithDesign #ArtAndArchitecture #HorticultureDesign #LandscapeAndLiving #DesignMeetsNature #NigerianArchitecture #AfricanArchitecture #NANACollective

Architects’ Value: Are They Undervalued by Clients? An architect discusses the common perception that their services are too expensive. They feel undervalued when clients fail to appreciate the expertise and effort required, often seeking cheaper alternatives from students. Have you experienced this? #architalker #architecture #design #undervalued #clients #fees

Client Listening: The Key to Great Design & Success Creating a great design or concept means truly listening to the client. A design may be excellent, but if it doesn’t meet the client’s needs, it misses the mark. Time is a crucial resource; it cannot be recreated, so manage it wisely. Have you experienced this? # ArchiTalker #designthinking #clientsatisfaction #timemanagement #businessstrategy #communication

F R O M P A S T T O P R E S E N T: We renovated this Pan-African bank in Abuja with a dark architectural cloak, a statement of resilience and rebirth. Design has the power to resurrect. #Architecture #Design #Renovation #ContemporaryArchitecture #SustainableDesign #UrbanDesign #ModernArchitecture #ArchitecturalInnovation #BuildingTransformation #MinimalistArchitecture #GlobalDesign #FutureArchitecture #AfricanArchitecture #PanAfricanDesign #NigerianArchitecture #DesignAfrica #CreativeAfrica #Ecobank #nanacollective #pwdc

M A U S O L E U M : From dust to dust… From the soil of Ilase, shaped by NANA hands — a testament to place, craft, and collective spirit. Grateful to the NANA Collective team whose dedication brought this vision to life. #NANACollective #NigerianArchitecture #ContemporaryAfricanArchitecture #SustainableDesign #EthnoTropical #Laterite #FromSoilToStructure #CulturalArchitecture #AfricanDesign #PlaceAndCraft #ArchitectureNigeria #DesignForCulture #MaterialityMatters #architecture
