Above the capital, below the sky
A hilltop house on Katampe,
facing Aso Rock.
01 — The house
Forty-two suites cut into the granite of Katampe Hill
. Mornings open over Maitama; evenings end with Aso Rock turning copper across the valley. A house for the people who keep the capital moving, and for the hours they step away from it
.
Opened in 2026 on a quiet ridge between Maitama and Katampe Extension, designed in laterite, local granite and Nupe brass by an Abuja studio.
