Mō Firstbank of Nigeria Te Tari Matua o te Rangatōpū
Ko Firstbank of Nigeria he pourewa tari matua rangatōpū e tū ana i Eko Atlantic City, Lagos. Ka piki te whare kua uhia ki te karaihe ki te 252 mita te teitei, ā, e 115,000 mita pūrua te horahanga hanganga i runga i te tahatai kua whakahokia mai i te moana. I āta hangaia te āhua tāroaroa mā ngā rangahau hau me te tātaritanga o te rā hei whakaiti i te urunga wera. Mā te karaihe kounga nui me ngā ārai o waho ka hangaia he kōpaki e urupare ana ki te āhuarangi, e hāngai ana ki te taiao takutai pārūrū. Mā ngā pūnaha whare atamai e whakahaere te māramatanga, te pāmahana me te whakamahinga o te pūngao. Ka tautoko ngā whakatakotoranga tari ngāwari me ngā rawa tiritahi i ngā hiahia pakihi e hurihuri ana.

- Āhuatanga Motuhake
- A sculpted, glass-clad tower rising from Eko Atlantic’s reclaimed shoreline, the FBN Headquarters merges environmental intelligence with corporate identity. Its slender form, high-performance facade, and green-certified systems create a climate-responsive landmark that symbolizes institutional evolution while redefining Lagos’s vertical and coastal urban future.

- Hangarau Whakanao
- The design was developed through an integrated process combining environmental analysis, wind studies, and solar optimization to inform the tower’s massing and façade strategy. Multidisciplinary coordination guided the integration of structural and building systems. High-performance glazing, external shading, and energy-efficient solutions shaped a climate-responsive envelope tailored to Lagos’s coastal conditions and sustainability objectives.
- Wero Hoahoa
- The greatest creative challenge was designing a landmark tower that balances Lagos’ rapid urban growth with coastal environmental conditions. Internally, the design had to reflect cultural identity, corporate prestige, and user well-being. Externally, constraints included coastal wind loads, tropical climate, local building regulations, limited high-performance material options, and integrating advanced sustainable technologies. Iterative simulations and collaborative workshops overcame these obstacles to achieve an elegant, resilient, and functional design.
- Rangahau
- Applied architectural research. Objective: to design a resilient, future-focused headquarters suited to Lagos’ coastal context. Methodology combined site analysis, climate studies, and iterative design development. Data were gathered through environmental assessments, performance simulations, and stakeholder consultations using digital modeling tools. Participants included architects, engineers, and client representatives. Results informed massing, façade, and sustainability strategies. Insights strengthened environmental performance, business identity, and long-term urban impact.
- Whakaaweawe
- Inspired by the meeting of land, ocean, and sky at Eko Atlantic, the tower draws from the fluidity of the shoreline and the clarity of modern finance. Its vertical form reflects resilience, transparency, and renewal, translating First Bank’s legacy into an architecture shaped by light, horizon, and aspiration.
- Roanga o te Kaupapa
- The project was launched in March 2025 and is located in Eko Atlantic City, Lagos, Nigeria.
- Rerenga Mahi
- The tower is designed to operate intuitively, guiding visitors through clear, welcoming entrances into light-filled public and corporate spaces. Smart building systems automatically regulate light, temperature, and energy use, adapting to daily and seasonal changes. Flexible office layouts allow spaces to evolve with business needs, while shared amenities encourage interaction, productivity, and well-being. The result is a comfortable, efficient environment that performs seamlessly for employees and visitors alike.
