Luxury villas and detached residences in Ikoyi, Banana Island, Lekki and Ikeja GRA require planned interiors that accommodate family living, private entertaining and household operations. Our design approach considers formal reception areas, spacious family lounges, private bedroom suites, bespoke kitchens, secondary preparation areas and dedicated staff accommodation. We also consider natural light, glazing, outdoor connections, privacy and solar exposure when developing the architectural and interior specifications.
Duplex interiors require coordinated planning across multiple floors, with attention to circulation, spatial proportions and household requirements. We develop layouts for staircases, double-height living areas, family lounges, bedroom suites, dressing rooms and fitted storage. Lighting, electrical provisions and service routes are considered during design development. Guest, family and staff circulation also guides the positioning of kitchens, service areas and private spaces.
Luxury apartments and penthouses in Lagos require interior planning that accounts for views, natural light, privacy and existing building infrastructure. We develop open-plan living areas, bespoke kitchens, bedroom suites, fitted wardrobes and integrated lighting schemes around the apartment's architectural layout. Our team also considers lift dimensions, loading access, permitted installation hours, HVAC capacity, electrical provisions and building-management requirements when preparing the fit-out specification.
New-build residential developments offer opportunities to establish the interior layout and technical specifications before installation begins. Our design process includes internal partitions, ceiling configurations, flooring, lighting layouts, electrical distribution, plumbing provisions, and HVAC coordination. We also consider developer specifications, permitted alterations, and existing building services. For shell-and-core properties, the scope may include extensive interior planning and service coordination; existing apartments require an assessment of concealed services, substrate conditions, and previous alterations before finalizing the fit out specification.
Waterfront residences in Banana Island and Ikoyi call for considered material specifications suited to humid, salt-laden air. Our designers account for corrosion-resistant hardware, protective metal finishes, glazing, privacy, and waterfront views. For existing villas, our team also assesses waterproofing, plumbing, electrical installations, and concealed building conditions before renovation begins.
Parkview and Old Ikoyi feature established residences with varied architectural layouts and refurbishment requirements. Our team conducts measured surveys and property assessments covering floor levels, dampness, drainage, plumbing, electrical installations, and previous alterations.

Lagos's humid climate makes moisture management an important part of residential interior design. Our designers and engineers consider HVAC capacity, air distribution, insulation and ventilation when developing the technical specification. We pay particular attention to condensation around windows, concealed services, ceiling voids and poorly ventilated spaces, as these areas can contribute to mould growth and material deterioration. Our material specifications account for moisture-resistant substrates, suitable adhesives, protective finishes and properly sealed joinery edges. Where necessary, we incorporate dehumidification provisions and accessible maintenance points into the building services plan.
Residences near the Atlantic coastline and Lagos Lagoon can experience exposure to salt-laden air, increasing the risk of corrosion in unsuitable metal components. Our team considers the property's proximity to the coast and actual exposure conditions when specifying door hardware, window fittings, cabinet hinges, drawer runners, fasteners, and decorative metalwork. We assess metal grades, protective coatings, fabrication quality and maintenance requirements before approving products. External openings and exposed fittings receive particular attention, with material selections guided by their intended application and environmental exposure.
Flood exposure and drainage conditions are important considerations when planning ground-floor interiors in parts of Lagos. Our team assesses available site information, finished floor levels, drainage arrangements, previous flooding and existing waterproofing conditions before developing the interior specification. These findings inform our selection of flooring, skirting, wall finishes and fitted furniture. Where site assessments identify moisture exposure, our designers consider suitable materials, accessible service connections, replaceable joinery components and appropriate positioning of electrical equipment. Waterproofing defects and inadequate drainage should be addressed through qualified building and engineering professionals before decorative finishes are installed.
Residential electrical planning in Lagos should account for grid availability and the property's backup power infrastructure. Our engineers consider generator capacity, inverter systems, battery storage and solar generation when coordinating electrical distribution, lighting, HVAC, kitchen appliances and home automation. We identify essential and non-essential loads to inform backup supply arrangements and circuit planning. Generator ventilation, exhaust discharge, acoustic separation and maintenance access are also considered alongside the building layout. Our interior designers account for electrical panels, equipment rooms, cable routes and control interfaces before finalising ceilings, wall finishes and bespoke cabinetry.
Our bespoke kitchen design services include custom cabinetry, worktop specifications, storage configurations and integrated appliances for luxury Lagos residences. Our designers develop kitchen layouts around the available space, cooking requirements, circulation and household routines. Cabinet finishes, internal fittings, drawer systems, handles and worktop materials are selected according to the design specification and intended use. We also coordinate appliance dimensions, task lighting, under-cabinet illumination, electrical provisions and plumbing connections within the kitchen drawings.
Our team designs bespoke wardrobes and walk-in dressing rooms tailored to the bedroom layout and the client's storage requirements. Internal configurations can include hanging sections, drawer units, shelving, shoe storage, accessory compartments and dedicated spaces for personal collections. Our designers coordinate integrated lighting, mirrors, drawer accessories and door systems within the joinery design. Substrate selection, surface finishes, edge treatments and hardware specifications are also considered in relation to the room's ventilation and moisture conditions.
Lagos's humid conditions guide our selection of substrates, veneers, laminates, adhesives and protective finishes for bespoke furniture and fitted cabinetry. Our team evaluates engineered boards, moisture-resistant substrates and suitable surface treatments according to their intended application. Particular attention is given to exposed edges, joints, cabinet bases and areas close to plumbing connections, where moisture ingress can affect material performance. We also specify appropriate hinges, drawer runners and metal fittings, taking account of corrosion resistance, maintenance requirements and product availability.
Our joinery development process begins with detailed fabrication drawings covering dimensions, material thicknesses, junction details, hardware positions and service openings.
