Complimentary Design Consultation

Living space of the Maitama Duplex

Residential

Maitama Duplex

Maitama, Abuja · 2024

Structural replanning, joinery and a full furniture specification for a family of five.

Client brief

The duplex had generous square footage arranged badly: a dark centre, a stair that cut the plan in half, and bedrooms without storage.

Design response

The stair was relocated to the north wall, releasing a full-height void that now carries daylight to the lower floor.

Space planning

Five bedrooms were re-proportioned to add fitted joinery to each without reducing usable floor area below 14 sqm.

Materials and finishes

Warm white plaster, smoked oak joinery, brushed brass ironmongery, and a single dark stone used only at the stair.
