Architectural Scope & Joinery Engineering

Commissioned for a luxury duplex in Guzape, Abuja. The library spans two full stories across a 7-meter wall, holding over 2,500 books alongside architectural display niches.

Because of the span and weight loading, every upright is anchored back to the concrete structure through concealed brackets. Shelves are fabricated from 32mm composite core with solid 8mm Teak front nosing to prevent shelf sagging under heavy book loads.

A custom satin-black steel ladder runs along an overhead extruded brass rail, providing comfortable access to upper shelves.

Materials & Hardware

  • Solid West African Teak
  • Reinforced 32mm Core Board
  • Custom Steel & Brass Rolling Ladder
  • Low-VOC Matte Oil

Quality & Seasoning Protocol

All timber elements machined from lumber kiln-seasoned in our Owerri workshop to 10–12% moisture equilibrium.

Delivered and installed on-site across Nigeria by Konkaya's permanent crew with zero casual day-laborers.
