Bank of Industry, Abuja Nigeria

Posted by Olu Ayodele | Posted in Architecture | Posted on 15-08-2008

Headquarters of Bank of industry building Abuja, a competition won by Seun Oduwole of Brown Inq . The building concept was inspired by the shape and dynamism of an eye. Visibility and vertical connectivity were integral to the idea. A desire to depart from the traditional office configuration of masses of segregated spaces, bad lighting and poor space planning.

The elliptical shape of the floor plan allows the office space to revolve around a very generous central atrium. The glazed atrium acts as a focus internally for the building and plays a large part in the environmental strategy of the building.

Internally, the range, depth and quality of the finishes reflects the identity and integrity of the organisation and meets the aspirations of the client.
Once completed, the building will become a statement of Bank of Industry’s position as one of the leading  corporate organisations in Nigeria.

 

 

 

Designed by Seun Oduwole of Brown inQ, construction is currently underway, executed by local firm SDP. The building is set for completion in June 2009.
