Project Overview

Client: The MD of a private firm in Lagos, Nigeria
Project Type: Hybrid home-office and workspace transformation
Location: Waterview Estate, Admiralty way, Lekki Phase 1 Lagos
Scope: Transforming a 4-bedroom duplex into a safe haven that combines personal comfort, spiritual reflection, and a motivating workspace for the MD and his team.

 

The Challenge

The MD envisioned a space that balanced work, rest, and spirituality, but faced common issues with older estate properties:
🚫 Outdated layouts that didn’t support modern workspace needs.
🚫 Poor acoustics and lighting unsuitable for focused work.
🚫 Limited relaxation zones for both leadership and staff.
🚫 No provision for a private prayer room, an important personal requirement.
🚫 Lack of amenities that reflect a high-performance office environment.

The Solution

Our team redesigned and rebuilt the duplex to meet the MD’s exact vision — a hybrid space that inspires productivity, collaboration, and serenity.

1. Modern Work Zones 🖥️

We converted the ground floor into open yet structured team workspaces, fitted with ergonomic desks, optimized lighting, and sound treatment to ensure focus and collaboration.

 

2. Executive Work, Rest & Reflection Spaces 

The upper floor was designed to give the MD privacy and relaxation, including:

  • Executive lounge with coffee maker, TV console, and modern center table for private unwinding.

  • A resting lounge styled for comfort without losing professional elegance.

3. Prayer Room 🕌

A custom-designed, serene prayer room tailored to Islamic practices, ensuring peace and focus away from distractions.

 

4. MD Executive Office 🏆

A modern 3-man executive office equipped with a wine display, awards wardrobe, automated curtain, and a custom executive desk for leadership and focused work.

Every element  including the desk, chairs, TV console, and storage units was custom designed and manufactured from scratch by our team in Nigeria, showcasing Branda’s commitment to premium, tailor-made workspace solutions.

 

5. Reception Area & Visitor Experience 🏢

At the entrance, we created a modern reception fitted with a stylish bookshelf wall that doubles as a design feature. This immediately gives every visitor a “wow” impression, setting the tone for professionalism and innovation from the very first step into the workspace.

5. Architectural Enhancements 🏗️

Since the duplex came with old structures, our team:
✔ Redesigned the floor layout for better flow.
✔ Upgraded all lighting and electrical fittings.
✔ Replaced outdated materials with premium, durable finishes.
✔ Integrated smart storage and concealed
✔Upgraded every toilet making it functional units for a clean aesthetic.
