Kunle Afolayan’s Palatial Sanctuary Shows Us What Luxurious African Architecture Looks Like

· By Fashion Tigress Team

Kunle Afolayan may have the most beautiful African-inspired palatial residences right now.


If you have ever imagined what a luxurious African-inspired architectural masterpiece looks like, then you don't have to imagine anymore, as celebrated filmmaker Kunle Afolayan's home is the definition of what a luxurious African home should look like. The producer opened his home to Compoundng, and we are glad he did.

His residence stands apart from popular luxury real estate designs by rejecting the unimaginative "white box" architecture designs that are common in Nigeria.
Instead, it offers a thoughtful fusion of perfect use of natural lighting, sustainable materials, and rich cultural heritage.

"I am very fascinated with wood. If you look at the texture, this wood is over 100 years old. You can see holes  ––––––– these were the woods that were used in the rail line."
