WHY INKLINE

We are architects, developers and makers. Our Yaba studio sits beside our own wood and metal workshops, so the people drawing a building know how it gets made and what it costs.

We draw on vernacular building and on techniques like origami geometry and shou sugi ban. We use them only where they solve a real problem: heat, water, light, the way a street works.

Because we also develop, we design with the numbers in view. A building has to work for the people who pay for it as well as the people who use it. From feasibility to finish, in Lagos and London.
