About Artec Practice

Artec Practice is an architecture and design studio founded by Taofik Popoola in 2012, and is based in Abuja and Lagos, Nigeria. For over a decade, we have been committed to creating environments that respond to how people live, work, heal, and connect. Our work is rooted in clarity, functionality, and purpose-guided by the belief that architecture must serve people first and uplift the communities it touches.

We approach every project with curiosity and discipline. We listen, we study, and we collaborate. From the earliest sketch to the final detail, our goal is to design spaces that perform beautifully, feel intuitive, and remain relevant for generations.

Our Philosophy
‍Human-centered. Climate-conscious. Future-focused.

Great design begins with understanding. We take the time to learn about context, culture, climate, and the everyday rhythms of the people we design for. This allows us to create spaces that are not only visually compelling but deeply connected to their purpose.

Our work combines modern design thinking with local insights and sustainable strategies, ensuring each project is resilient, responsible, and ready for the future.

What We Do
‍We offer a multidisciplinary approach that brings architecture, interiors, landscape, model making, and project management together under one collaborative process.
This integrated model allows us to deliver cohesive, efficient, and thoughtful results across every scale of design.
