The Iroko Group was founded in Lagos with a single conviction: that Africa deserves architecture and interiors that are as considered, as beautiful, and as durable as any in the world. We began as an architecture studio and grew into a full design practice — adding interior design, bespoke furniture, and landscaping as clients asked us to go further with their projects. That growth was never planned. It was pulled forward by relationships — by clients who trusted us enough to hand us more of their world.
Today we work across Nigeria and beyond, on private homes, hospitality projects, corporate interiors, and one-of-a-kind furniture commissions. Each discipline informs the others. Our architects think about furniture. Our interior designers think about light. Everyone thinks about time — how a space will look, feel, and function twenty years from now. The Iroko tree is one of the hardest timbers on the continent. It grows slowly and lives for centuries. That is the standard we hold ourselves to: not work that impresses on first sight, but work that earns its place, accumulates meaning, and improves with age.
We are recruiting to fill the position below:
