UCA – Urban & Contemporary Architects Ltd. is a growing architectural practice based in Lagos, Nigeria with a team of young, vibrant-minded Architects, Designers, Artists, and innovators of combined experience of over 45 years. The steady growth and expansion of our practice can be attributed to the expression of our desire to deliver top quality projects within the constraints of scope, time and cost to the satisfaction of all stake holders. Our practice is founded on the principles of people, interactions and flexibility. And though the strategic direction for development of the organization is determined by the partners from time to time, daily running of the firm and its projects is strongly dependent on the respective contribution of all members of staff. On each project, ideas are exchanged amongst a design team to establish the concept and theme that the project will take on, after careful consideration and review of the elemental parameters. Further immeasurable inputs from well-structured design meetings – formal and or informal – refine the ideas/ concepts and set the platform on which the project is executed: overseen by a partner-in-charge and run on a day-to-day basis by a Project Architect.

Dolapo Falola has been in mainstream architectural consultancy practice since his post-graduation from the School of Architecture & Design, the University of Lagos in 2006 and has participated in the design and execution of a broad variety of projects and building types ranging from large commercial buildings to smaller but no less interesting fit-outs. A sound track record of work experience with two of Nigeria’s leading architectural offices - and a short stint with a project management firm - has afforded him the opportunity to speedily become a seasoned professional through several collaborations with reputable architectural and multi-disciplined allied consulting firms both at home and abroad. Dolapo left DKR Associates in 2012 to set-up UCA the following year.
