BOOKSHOP HOUSE, LAGOS, NIGERIA
Bookshop House was built in 1973 by G. Cappa and designed by architects Godwin and Hopwood
with special sun-screening and windows to reduce the heat load on the
air-conditioning. it is still one of the few buildings in Nigeria to
have a facade correctly designed to exclude direct sunlight between 9am
and 5pm with a consequent astonishing 75% saving in air-conditioning
loading on the office floors.
