A speculative architecture & real-estate atelier for Lagos — a monospaced brand world set in Departure Mono, where the city's structures are read as a sequence of vertical and horizontal lines.

A standalone concept page (single-file index.html) — an ivory-on-ink editorial world in Departure Mono, pairing structural blue-grey and sand accents with five 1024x1536 photo-abstract diptychs of Lagos architecture.
