Head of Communications at Safritecture

At the intersection of Culture, Tradition, Science, Art, Technology, Technology(z), and (Spi)rituality sits Safritecture. It is here that we create and realise Afro-conscious designs with depth and meaning. Safritecture is a pan-African design and build start-up. Our mission is to expand our activities and become truly pan-African. Our Command Centre will be in Lagos, Nigeria, and Country Offices are provisioned for the 53 other African sovereign states. We are committed to this conquest and are looking for passionate and driven individuals to join us on this journey.

What sets Safritecture apart, is our willingness to infuse local African thinking, cultural references and practices into our Architecture, Interiors and Branding. The 450+ tribes, rich and diverse cultures, belief systems, rituals and practices are our springboard. SAFRITECTURE deploys select heritage markers to create environments that transcend the pastiche application of patterns and motifs. We venture beyond the superficial because every aspect of traditional African architecture and interiors is not spontaneous. It is a product of a well-structured socio-cultural-religious system. From the choice of materials, building style, interiors, construction system, motifs and decoration, all are chosen with primary consideration for family, community and beliefs. Our clients do not want stock solutions, neither do we. This is our DNA
