Blu Hotel
Overview
Inspired by the Zuka geological formation, the concept design of this hotel in Lagos stands dramatically as an inspired monolith juxtaposed against dynamism of the city beyond.
Perspectives
Enveloped by a timber skin screening it from its context, and introducing a playfulness of light and shadow to its interior, the design is a sensitive yet dramatic reflection on the natural and cultural heritage of a vibrant growing city.
Concept
The hotel was conceived as a single volume, segregated by function and carved to reveal a central green space. Cutting into this volume as one would a rock, its facades begin to take on variable facets and planes offering the interior functions privacy from each other and from the surrounding context.
