Proposed
IIBC; a smart, self-sustaining island, is designed on a 200ha reclaimed island off of the southern shore of Lagos lagoon, Nigeria.
A project of this scale and impact and with multiple constraints required the expertise of a multidisciplinary, international design team to rethink the process of urban design in western Africa.
In a post pandemic world, the scheme puts access to green open space at its heart. With Imperial park as the green heart, Imperial marina and waterfront promenade create the edge to the district and an integrated green transport system connecting residents to amenities.
This scheme celebrates the positive social, health and wellness impact of nature, with a resilience strategy that makes it future-proof in the face of climate-change and sea-level rise.
