Designing with the
Coast in Mind
Twelve years of crafting considered architecture for coastal homes and hospitality spaces across Nigeria — where the landscape shapes every line we draw.
BORAQS-Registered Practice
Architecture Rooted in Place and Purpose
Coast & Co. Architects is a Port Harcourt-based practice with twelve years of dedicated focus on the built environment where land meets water. We bring a disciplined, thoughtful approach to every project — from private coastal residences to complex hospitality developments.
As a BORAQS-registered practice, we operate at the intersection of technical rigour and design imagination — committed to work that responds honestly to its coastal context, honours its occupants, and endures long after completion.

A Selection of Our Projects
Each project below represents the range of settings and typologies we work within — from intimate private homes to ambitious waterfront developments.
Waterfront Villa, Niger Delta
A private coastal residence designed around the natural light and tidal rhythms of the Niger Delta.
Boutique Resort Concept, Bonny
A hospitality concept integrating local craft, passive ventilation, and a deep respect for waterfront ecology.
Eco Compound, Onne
A low-carbon coastal compound exploring renewable materials, solar orientation, and natural flood management.
Projects shown are representative examples of the typologies and approaches we employ. Specific client details are kept confidential.
Sustainability is Not a Feature. It's the Foundation.
Coastal environments are some of the most dynamic and vulnerable on earth. We believe architecture here carries an additional responsibility — to sites, to communities, and to the ecological systems that make coastal living worthwhile.
Our sustainable design approach is embedded from the first site analysis. We consider orientation, prevailing breezes, material longevity in humid coastal climates, and the long-term relationship between building and shore. The result is architecture that performs well, lasts well, and sits well within its landscape.
Passive Climate Response
Designing with prevailing breezes, solar angles, and natural shading to reduce mechanical loads.
Coastal-Durable Materials
Specifying materials proven to withstand humidity, salt air, and intense equatorial sun.
Ecological Site Sensitivity
Minimal land disturbance, sympathetic landscaping, and flood-resilient siting strategies.
Sustainable coastal design from the ground up
Our Design Process
A structured, collaborative approach — from first meeting to final delivery — that keeps you informed at every stage.
Discovery
Understanding your brief, aspirations, site, and constraints through focused conversation.
Site Analysis
Reading the landscape, climate, tides, and vernacular context before a single line is drawn.
Concept Design
Translating analysis into spatial ideas — sketches, diagrams, and concept narratives.
Technical Design
Developing full construction documentation and coordinating all technical requirements.
Delivery & Admin
On-site administration ensuring the built work faithfully realises the design intent.
What Sets Us Apart
Four defining qualities that inform how we approach every project, every client, and every coastline.
BORAQS Registration
We practice under full professional registration — a baseline of accountability our clients can rely on.
Sustainable Focus
Sustainability is not optional here. It shapes material choices, orientation, and every design decision we make.
Twelve Years of Coastal Experience
Over a decade of projects in the specific conditions — salt, humidity, flood, and sun — of Nigeria's coastline.
Dual Specialisation
Deep competence in both residential and hospitality typologies — so the right expertise applies to your specific project.
Start Your Coastal Project
