Bachelors' quarters, Nigeria: Schematic design drawings

between 1957 and 1958

This group of drawings shows a preliminary design for a housing complex located in Umukoroshe, Nigeria, possibly for employees of Shell-B.P. Co. The design, a proto-typical two-wing building block, has dining and kitchen facilites and a courtyard between the two wings. Shaded access walkways and balconies connect various parts of the complex. A single storey wing of "boys quarters" is comprised of individual rooms and shared kitchen and bathroom facilities along a corridor. A two-storey "bachelor" wing is comprised of individual living quarters of approximately 400 sq. ft. with living, sleeping, and study areas, private washroom and balcony. Semi-private parking for the residents of the "bachelor" wing is located below the living quarters. Construction materials are not specified.
