Text by the Architects: The Lantern House was designed for a Lagosian family on Banana Island, in Lagos, a private island on the Lagos Lagoon off the shore of the historic Ikoyi neighbourhood. The five bedroom, seven bathroom 911sqm house is a self contained oasis and emblematic of Tosin Oshinowo’s signature afrominimilist style, with clean, crisp lines, an integration of sophisticated geometric patterning to emphasize depth, texture, and materiality. And playful use of light to create a glow of warmth in the interior and exterior of the home.
