1st Edition
What's inside.
A collection of beautiful spaces in Lagos — homes, hotels, restaurants, studios and galleries — photographed in full, with the story of how each one came together and the people who made it. Some you'll recognise; many are private, opening their doors for the first time. A book to keep, to gift, and to return to whenever you're dreaming up a space of your own.
