Metal Berg Staff Residential Complex

Apapa, Lagos · Concept Design Study · Rev A

00 / COVER & SUMMARY

A shared residential
landscape for Metal Berg staff.

Two residential blocks, a common arrival court, and a landscaped amenity cluster — generated from a hand-marked site sketch and resolved against Apapa municipal setback and FAR limits.

The Line — Engineering & Contracting

Reference dataset for this demonstration run. Staff housing brief for the Metal Berg site, Apapa.

02 / INPUT

Single hand-marked sketch

One annotated site sketch, parsed into a vector boundary and a functional room graph.

03 / OUTPUT

7-board proposal deck

Context, plans, units, materials, a feasibility audit and a handoff roadmap — rendered in one pass.

01 / SITE CONTEXT

From hand study to developed plan.

Drag the slider — the engine locks room boundaries and wall positions from the sketch, then textures, furnishes and shades the model without altering the underlying geometry.

01 / Arrival

The entrance at Ladipo Oluwole feeds the parking court and the drive along the right-hand boundary.

02 / Buildings

The larger left-hand block and smaller right-hand block address a shared landscaped centre.

03 / Outdoors

Pool, gym and changing rooms create an amenity cluster; sidewalks link the blocks and shared spaces.

02 / GROUND FLOOR PLAN

Master ground floor plan.

Hover any pin for a callout. The pool sits integrated within the gym building footprint; sidewalks connect both entrance lobbies to the shared amenity court.

Block A EntranceLobby & vertical circulation core, larger residential block.

Block B Two-BedroomMirror-plan 2BHK units arranged around a shared entrance core.

Lap Pool & LoungersPool integrated within the gym building, poolside deck and seating.

Gym Roof TerraceOpen lounge bar and terrace above the gym pavilion — see inset.

Gym roof — lounge & bar

Zoomed detail above the gym building footprint

Circulation

Both blocks share a common lobby and stair/lift arrangement, concentrating arrival and vertical movement.

Services

Nearby wet rooms suggest an opportunity to coordinate plumbing stacks on upper floors.

Confirm escape stairs and the floor-by-floor schedule needed to reach the full 20 + 10 apartment brief.

03 / UNIT PLANNING

From the building to the room.

Apartment close-ups, cropped automatically from the master model — public and private zones are separated consistently across both typologies.

A — Three-Bedroom Family Unit

B — Smaller Residential Block

C — Shared Entrance Core

Upper apartment, larger block

Bedrooms

Balconies

Salon

The salon sits near the entrance and kitchen. Bedrooms occupy the outer edges, with balcony access shown to selected rooms — B2 and the master suite both open outward.

Two-bedroom layouts, shared core

Units / floor

Shared lobby

Kitchens paired

Mirror-plan 2BHK units wrap a shared entrance lobby and stair core, with kitchens paired back-to-back to simplify the plumbing stack above ground level.

Larger block — entrance core

Lift + stair

Service rooms

Lobby, stair/lift symbol and service rooms concentrate arrival and vertical movement, with electrical and storage rooms directly adjacent.

04 / ATMOSPHERE & MATERIALS

Materials for everyday living.

A warm, restrained direction for the buildings, interiors and shared outdoor spaces — subject to physical sample approval.

Shaded balconies + planted courtyard

Neutral finishes + timber accents

Proposed palette

Ivory Render

Grey Porcelain

Charcoal Frames

Timber Joinery

Pool Mosaic

Concrete Paving

Design intention

Shade, privacy and straightforward maintenance guide the façade — warm ivory walls, dark metal frames, recessed balconies.

Shared spaces

Gym, changing rooms and pool pair with a separate helpers' building — develop its sleeping rooms, kitchen and separate male/female bathrooms.

Complete the site brief

Locate the playground, security room, WTP and drainage facilities; coordinate pool safety and plant access.

05 / FEASIBILITY AUDIT

Regulatory & feasibility audit.

The parametric zoning engine insets the site boundary by every setback, checks the drawn massing against the envelope, and totals the resulting unit yield.

FAR / FSI compliance

Achieved floor-area ratio against the Apapa municipal permissible limit

06 / NEXT STEPS

From concept to construction set.

This deck is a schematic starting point. The path from here to a permit-ready package follows a short, predictable sequence.

Complete

Concept design study

Site parsing, zoning audit, massing and this presentation deck — generated from the sketch and program brief.

Dimensioned schematic set

Furniture clearances, accessible routes, escape-stair audit and a confirmed floor-by-floor schedule for all 30 units.

Then

MEP & structural coordination

Plumbing stack alignment across upper floors, structural grid confirmation, and site services — playground, security room, WTP, drainage.

Then

Material sample approval

Physical samples for the six-material palette; façade and finish sign-off with the client.

Final

Permit-ready construction package

Full drawing set issued for municipal approval and tender.
