Lagos is coming to south east London in the form of the next fun and fantastical Dulwich Pavilion.
The sensual overload and buzzing life of a Nigerian market is the inspiration behind Colour Palace by architects Pricegore and designer Yinka Llori.
The team were named the winners of the biennial design competition hosted by the London Festival of Architecture and Dulwich Picture Gallery, now in its second year.
European and African cultural traditions have been fused to joyful effect in a celebration of colour, pattern and light representing our multicultural capital city.
London's Little Lagos in nearby Peckham inspired the pavilion's bold geometric pattern, which will contrast starkly with Sir John Soane’s Grade II listed gallery building.
Each side of the façade's timber slats is painted a different colour, creating shifting layers when viewed from different angles. The lightweight structure is mounted on huge concrete feet to offer panoramic views of the gardens.
Pricegore, led by Dingle Price and Alex Gore, are based in Peckham, while Yinka Llori, a London-based artist of Nigerian heritage, specialises in creating furniture and other pieces that blend Nigerian traditions with contemporary design.
Illori’s work touches on everything from sexuality to social class and sparks conversations about consumer culture.
“Passionately against” the waste seen in both Europe and West Africa, he is driven to reuse discarded furniture.
Pricegore and Illori's partnership beat 150 entries to win the competition, judged by experts including architect Mary Duggan and Guardian architecture correspondent Oliver Wainwright.
Members of the public visiting the gallery last month were also given their say on the shortlisted designs.
Colour Palace, which opens in June 2019, will act as an outdoor welcome space for gallery visitors, as well as a flexible public space for performances, talks and other events.
Jennifer Scott, director of Dulwich Picture Gallery, described it as "a beacon of creativity and inclusion".
Though a temporary pop-up, the modular design of the new pavilion means it will be possible to reconfigure the parts to create a different shelter or multiple smaller structures.
The 2017 pavilion, After Image by architecture practice IF_DO, achieved critical acclaim and won numerous awards, helping the design company triple in size.
The innovative design responded to the changing landscape with a series of translucent mirror screens – some fixed, some moveable – to reflect and disrupt our view of the surroundings.
Its roof was overlaid with a mesh veil to create a canopy-like environment.
