Eko Pride Hotel, Lagos Expressing The Dynamics on Hotel Design In Icon Architecture

The study examined the dynamics of Eko Atlantic as the pride of Lagos, hence, expressing the dynamic of hotel design in iconic architecture. The aim of the research is therefore to develop a theoretical solutions as well as design solutions for sustainable and energy efficient hotels in hot-dry climate. A qualitative case study of three hotels which indicated the use of bioclimatic principles and which are in the climatic region as the study area was conducted to identity the relationships between variables. Visual survey, interviews and checklist method were all used in conducting the case study survey of all the selected cases. Therefore, research was carried out on the hot dry climate, the architectural design requirement of the study area and bioclimatic design requirement of the area in order to achieve the research the research objectives. The overall thesis studied and incorporated design principles certainly to enhance the quality of the interior spaces and give thermal and bioclimatic comfort to the guest/occupants.
