Overview

The project is a mixed-use development located along the scenic seaside of Victoria Island, Lagos. It features two iconic towers—Cerulean and Indigo—connected by a podium that serves as a base for car parking and shared amenities. The development includes residential units, a luxury hotel, office spaces, and various amenities to serve the urban lifestyle.

The Cerulean Tower stands out with its elegant design, emphasizing a refined architectural aesthetic, while the Indigo Tower boasts a bolder, more assertive presence, optimized for both luxury hotel rooms and upscale residential apartments. Together, these towers create a harmonious skyline along the waterfront.

As the Project Architect while at HOK, I was responsible for the overall design and layout, including facade design and material selection. This role also involved intricate coordination among different teams to ensure seamless execution of the design intent. The project is currently under construction, promising to become a landmark development that blends modern luxury with functional elegance in one of Lagos’ most prestigious locations.
