"This agile workflow allows them to experiment with different materials and finishes while staying within a project's budget. More than just a technical tool, SketchUp also supports collaboration, enabling clients to better understand and connect with the design-even if they don't have a background in architecture. This makes the process more inclusive and helps ensure that everyone involved feels part of the creative journey."
Tola Ojuolape combines formal training in art, construction, and interior architecture with a rediscovered Nigerian heritage to shape a narrative-led design approach. Every project starts with a central idea that determines materials, finishes, and atmosphere, prioritizing tactility and materiality. Design inspiration comes from nature, architecture, fashion, and diverse cities. SketchUp functions as a core tool to translate plans into detailed 3D models, enabling rapid material and finish experimentation while maintaining budgetary constraints. The workflow enhances client collaboration and inclusivity. A warm, earthy palette and grounded materials like wood and stone create comfortable, tranquil spaces.
