The Approach, which serves as the drop-off.
I will not forget easily my visit there in 2012, then I was with Yu-Pet Konsult during my internship and the firm happen to have a project presentation at the hotel,it was about building the state(Akwa Ibom) office of a top insurance company.
The architecture that embraced me was awe inspiring, believe me I had to hold myself.Soon, I will get back to some of the outstanding feature of this impressive edifice. I am grateful for such an exposure, and at this point will like to add that, young and aspiring architect who haven't been there should visit it either as a case study, field trip or a mere jamboree. There is definitely a lot to learn.
Now lets zoom in to this luxury beehive:
