PURU ICHE, OJI RIVER, ENUGU STATE

Puru Iche: “Ihen Puru Iche” translated from traditional Igbo dialect is synonymous with Unique, Distinctive, Specialized etc.

Concept for developing the design of this 8 bedroom residential villa was an infusion of the traditional Igbo (south eastern Nigeria) identity with contemporary forms. This is outplayed in the manner of space planning and external design elements. The main voided living and dining areas on the ground floor with its entrance porch face the most predominant solar cardinal point of the south.

This in turn is shaded with recesses and external shading metal skin that was shaped and inspired from the traditional Igbo “Ukara Cloth” patterns.
An outdoor relaxation meeting place is covered in thatch and sunken seats for family commune. An Obi for kindred relatives is situated on the west wing. A mini basketball court and running track around the sites vast land for recreation was incorporated.

The 8 bedroom comes fully planned with an observatory for viewing stellar activities, voided meeting and living rooms, 2 formal and informal dinings on both floors, water features including ground and wall fountains, externally and internally.

All planned on 6,352.864 sqms.
