This opulent 7-bedroom residence is located on a sprawling
5,000 square meter site in the exclusive hilltop area of Minna. The home was
designed to meet the needs of a family of 8 and features a contemporary design
with a touch of Arewa cultural and architectural influences.
The layout of the spaces is defined by the client’s
requirement for privacy, with separate areas for the family, guests, and staff.
The façade of the home is influenced by ancient Hausa/Arabic architecture, with
a massive cuboid structure split by the service core and punctuated with
panoramic balconies.
The contrast colour scheme with complementary wooden trims
and glass façade gives the structure a unique and luxurious look. The use of
natural materials, such as stone and wood, helps to create a warm and inviting
atmosphere.
The home is also designed to be energy-efficient, with
features such as solar panels and rainwater harvesting. This makes it a
sustainable and environmentally friendly.
