CEDARCREST HOSPITAL

Victoria Island, Lagos State, Nigeria    2022 - 2024         GFA-4,000 + sqm    55 bed capacity

A Landmark in Healthcare Architecture

In 2022, IHOD was commissioned as the in-country architects for Cedarcrest Hospital, an ultra-modern 4,000 sqm medical facility rising six storeys in the heart of Victoria Island, Lagos. Conceived as a 55-bed institution of international standard, the project demanded a design and delivery partner capable of translating world-class healthcare ambitions into a building grounded in local context, code, and construction realities.

Bridging Global Expertise and Local Mastery

Working in close collaboration with Infrabees Project Management Consultants Pvt Ltd of India, IHOD served as the essential in-country partner, the critical link between international design intent and on-the-ground execution. In this role, IHOD localized and validated the design against Nigerian building regulations, site conditions, and material availability, coordinated the interface between foreign consultants and local authorities, and provided the architectural oversight required to ensure the facility met both global healthcare benchmarks and regional practicalities. It is a role that demands equal fluency in international best practice and local building intelligence, a balance that defines IHOD’s value on cross-border commissions.

Precision in Service of Care

The result is a healthcare environment where exacting clinical requirements meet considered architectural design, from patient flow and infection control to natural light, material durability, and the dignity of the spaces themselves. Across exterior and interior design and rigorous QA/QC, IHOD delivered a facility that stands among Victoria Island’s most advanced, a testament to the firm’s ability to anchor international partnerships and elevate the standard of healthcare infrastructure across Nigeria.
