The client’s aspiration for their office space in Abuja was
to create an iconic and model sustainable edifice. As a sustainable energy
technology company, this was more than just an office space project. The client
required a show building that would showcase every aspect of their business in
the form and general layout of the building.
The result is an off-grid, fully sustainable office complex
with cutting-edge digital technologies that automate all aspects of work, from
simple door and window opening to a more complex power management system.
The goal of making the complex a showpiece sustainable
energy technology building in Abuja inspired us to adopt a site-responsive
orientation, natural daylight and passive ventilation techniques for all
spaces, rainwater harvesting and reuse, local materials, and a solar panel roof
to create a 100% off-grid structure. This four-story building stands tall
against the Wuye mountain terrain with other ancillary facilities to keep the
company functional and commercially viable.
The complex includes an unrivaled office building, an
assembly plant with warehouse for material storage, employee quarters, and a
solar technology display area.
