CONCEPT
Given that the brief calls for a suitable structure to represent and house the JABU alumni body, the conceptual depiction for this design has been chosen as a graduation cap
WHY?
A student cannot be an alumnus until they have graduated from the institution, and an alumni Centre is a structure that houses graduates. Graduation hats are part of the traditional academic dress worn by graduating students. They represent intelligence and superiority
The Alumni Centre features a welcoming outdoor lounge with gazebos and pathways that encourage interaction between alumni and current students, fostering community connections and boosting revenue. The tree-lined pool area offers warmth and ease of movement, while the guest house and lounge create an inviting atmosphere for alumni. Inside, the reception showcases JABU’s achievements through an enclosed glass room filled with graduation ceremony images, posters, awards, and other accomplishments

CONCEPT
I drew inspiration from the biblical narrative of Jesus’s ascension to create a spiritually immersive church interior. The altar, a focal point of reverence, features meticulous sculpts portraying his tomb and the transformative moment of ascension. Illuminated by lights ascending to the ceiling, the altar is connected to a grand light fixture, the primary source of illumination. Each space, from entrance to exit, is carefully curated

2023 PROJECT
Location: Ibadan
Client: Haute Interiors
Software used: Revit, Sketcup, Vray, Adobe Photoshop
3D Digital Model
Above i Remadeone of Macmasters’ original designs(wine rack) which helped me improve my skills in 3D furniture modelling, also helped me to understand the placement of each wood to make certain furnitures. Recreating these designs made me much better at it. It really helped me improve.
The lights in this design represent the rain, and they are connected to the wood (the cloud) via a cable that, in essence, depicts the movement of rain from beginning to end. This structure is made of wood.
AIM FOR WOW
The table is made of two different materials. The table’s surface is comprised of glass and wood, which provides balance and functionality without detracting significantly from the hand and curve that serve as its main focal point
The plant which holds the bulb is carved with wood. The bulb is placed at the Centre with its wires passing through the stem of the carved plant. The cuboid is made with wood and reflective glass
