Crimp Hold

The domain constructed:
Finds its fulfilment in its users
Users and activities act as one
Thus giving this domain a meaning:
A sense of being built.

-Anshumali Baruah

Crimp Hold is an excitant of the space, protruding out from the rock formations that characterize Lagos’s coastline. The materiality acts to blend in to the warm toned cliff face, with its rectilinear shape in stark contrast to the natural geology.

The pavilion presents opportunity for pedestrians to make the space their own with pop-up shops, spas, and gatherings amongst near infinite possibilities. These activities take place within the programmatic spaces between the stones in the pavilion, adding a sense of separation within the open timber frame. Crimp Hold is a flexible space that people can make their own, low or high tide, while still receiving astounding views of the Atlantic.
