We’re an online architecture and design platform publishing curated content in architecture, Interior and Landscaping design from Africa and the rest of the world.

Livin Spaces was created as a hobby blog in 2013 by Nigerian Architect, Uzoezi Johnson. She started the blog when she noticed a lack of blogs showcasing Architecture and Design in Nigeria, and ultimately Africa. She was joined shortly thereafter by her husband and fellow architect, Michael Temidayo Johnson.
From sharing articles and design inspiration, the blog started publishing architecture projects and product designs when they moved to Lagos, Nigeria and came in contact with more creative designers. The goal was, and still is, to facilitate research, inspire designers and foster connections within the industry.
Since becoming a brand of Nenayo Media – the parent company registered in 2015, Livin Spaces has grown from a simple blog to a multifaceted publishing platform, including the core platform for publishing projects and design stories, a hiring platform (Livin Spaces Jobs), and an online product catalog for sourcing products (Specify).
