Daylight’s Delight, Jewel at Night
Bennett Oghifo
Rachel Court is a beautiful sight to behold in the usually serene Gudu District outside Abuja’s city centre. The structure is a fine piece of real estate rendered by the parent company, the Black Pelican. It is a marked improvement on the equally sturdy edifice on Goshen Estate Road, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos. writes
Rachel Court is a head-turner any day, and its stunning look is made more pronounced by its strategic location on Rachel T. Owolabi Close Gaduwa, Gudu District. The building, a mix of European and oriental design, is rendered in polished ceramics cladding and a tinted blue glass facade. Rachel Court is one of its kind in the whole of Gudu, an established district in Phase 2 of Abuja city. It is also sometimes known as Apo-Gudu.
Gudu District occupies a strategic location just outside Abuja’s city centre, and it is residential but has quite an extensive commercial stretch, and this is the section IL Bagno rules.
Although well-populated, it is not as dense or busy as neighbouring areas like Garki. There are plenty of opportunities for recreation and relaxation in the neighbourhood, like bars, eateries and clubs, hotels and schools. The famous Gudu Market is located here. This is chiefly an electrical parts market, although there is an assigned section for selling foodstuffs.
Rachel Court is near interesting places like Baytown Lounge, Chloe’s Cupcake Heaven, Apo Legislative Quarters, Sentosa Park and Xcell Plus Gym & Spa.
The exquisite Court hosts IL Bagno, the regional distributor for the world’s leading manufacturers of sanitary fittings, kitchen, tiles, doors and other interior solutions. They excel in providing total interior solutions, creating unique and innovative bathroom themes for both the domestic and commercial markets.
“At IL Bagno, we believe that in addition to its utilitarian significance, the interior space should provide a relaxing atmosphere, reflecting the taste, personality and lifestyle of our customers; hence our design solutions provide the mood and warmth that transform an anonymous interior into a place of elegance – a sanctuary. Before now, the discerning user had little choice in the selection of appropriate fittings to accommodate both functionality and elegance that adequately reflects their taste,” said the Chairman of the Black Pelican Group, Michael Owolabi.
