Architectural Design for Ilashe Creek Resort
Ilashe Creek Resort is an upcoming planning project situated along the tranquil shores of Badagry Creek. Our aim is to develop a retreat catering to various event needs, offering a harmonious blend of tranquility and activity across a 20,000m² landscape.
Accessible exclusively by boat, this upcoming resort is envisioned to host a myriad of events, from vibrant concerts to intimate weekend getaways, all amidst lush surroundings that promise seclusion and natural allure.
Our architectural focus centers on aesthetics, functionality, sustainability, and maintenance efficiency, integrating wooden finishes and lush landscaping, evoking a tropical ambiance that harmonizes effortlessly with the surrounding environment.
The project comprises distinct spaces, including an outdoor event venue with a stage and dedicated backstage area, an outdoor audience area featuring landscaping, a reception/ticket office, and a food court. Additionally, a multi-purpose hall, designed to accommodate diverse needs, is subdivisible into three smaller halls and equipped with a stage area and technical rooms for support. The resort features a reception area, restaurant/bar, pool, beach hotel with guest rooms and communal spaces, and a chalet area with single chalets and outdoor seating.
Our scope of work encompasses concept design, building design, outdoor element planning, and architectural drawings.

Architectural Model:
At 1:500 scale, it used mixed materials and processes implementing digital and manual techniques. Using a 3D printer, buildings, trees and paths were able to be fabricated and assembled and placed by hand.
The construction of the model experimented with different techniques and colours to distinguish between natural and artificial bodies of water. For the different landscape textures, natural materials such as fine sand and sawdust were used.
