ATO Architects started out in 1987 on the back of a winning entry in a design competition for the squash court complex of one of the oldest clubs in Nigeria, Ikoyi Club 1938. The early work of the firm was geared towards satisfying the needs of new financial & banking institutions, for which the stylized neo-classical and post-modern were the vogue. The firm went on to prove herself by winning a string of other competitive bids for work including the 17 storey, 3-tower headquarter building for the Federal Inland Revenue Service at Abuja.
