Project Overview
Adake Ogun is a transformative rural development conceived and led by Dejam Consults, a nature-anchored farm resort designed to blend quietude, community, and sustainable comfort.
Derived from the Yoruba word "Adákẹ́", which means both "we take care of" and "we are quiet", the project captures the dual essence of care and calm, shaping a place where guests don’t just retreat but realign.
The development reflects Dejam’s commitment to thoughtful land use, cultural integrity, and regenerative design. From zoning to experiential planning, Adake Ogun is where ecological stewardship meets modern rural living.
What We're Building
Lodging That Breathes With the Land
A collection of eco-cottages are spaced across the landscape in a rhythm that respects both privacy and presence. Built from natural materials like bamboo, adobe, and reclaimed wood, each unit evokes a different Yoruba word for peace, giving every guest not just a space, but a name to hold. The lodges are positioned to welcome natural airflow, sunrise light, and framed views of the farm and forested edges.
A Working Farm That Feeds the Table, and the Spirit
The heart of Adake is agricultural. Guests don’t just walk past rows of produce, they harvest them. Carefully zoned plots for vegetables, herbs, grains, and fruit trees sit adjacent to animal interaction areas where children and adults alike can connect with goats, rabbits, horses, ducks, and more. The farm supports the on-site kitchen, making the experience truly farm-to-fork.
Experiential Trails & Nature Immersion
Winding eco-trails lead guests through herbal gardens, palm groves, bamboo tunnels, and butterfly patches. The walking paths are more than scenic, they’re meditative by design. Along the way are quiet rest points, storytelling decks, and shade-built spaces for guided reflection or barefoot exploration.
Wellness Zones Built Around Stillness
A yoga garden and meditation platform sit beneath filtered light and natural canopies. These spaces host mindfulness classes, stretching sessions, and solitude breaks, a soft counterbalance to the more immersive farm and event areas. Here, the theme is stillness, softness, and shade.
Gathering Spaces for Fire, Food, and Folk
At the center of the resort is a fire pit arena and event lawn, designed for community storytelling, drumming, and quiet evenings under the stars. Nearby, a farm-to-table restaurant offers open-air dining with food prepared from the very land it overlooks. A circular pool lounge, artisan workshop pavilion, and a small café-studio space support group retreats, craft-making, and creative residency programming.
Utility Zones that Work Silently
Behind the beauty is a deep systems logic. A solar-powered grid supports lighting and water heating. Compost toilets and bio-waste integration handle waste cleanly. A buffer zone wraps the site with vegetation that prevents erosion, filters air, and offers visual transition from wild to worked land.
Design & Philosophy
Every design choice honors the terrain, traditions, and tempo of rural Yoruba life. The spatial layout takes cues from courtyard architecture, creating a flow that encourages gathering, rest, and rediscovery.
Earth-toned materials, minimalist interventions, and elevation-sensitive placements keep the built form grounded and respectful. Here, luxury is quiet, natural, and unforced.
Challenges & Solutions
Challenge
How We Solved It
Complex redevelopment zoning with outdated files
We validated and recharted the plot for accurate approval classification
Risk of design clashing with approval limits
We collaborated directly with architects to adjust layout without losing vision
Lack of existing planning documentation
Dejam coordinated complete documentation + built the case for regulatory compliance
CEO Insight

Adake is not just what we’re building. It’s how we believe land should be treated, with dignity, clarity, and care. It’s development that breathes and listens.
