About Me

Ebele Ubaka 4

Hello!

I’m Ebele Ubaka, also known as The Entrepreneurial Architect or EbeleTheArchitect.

I am a chartered architect dedicated to promoting the use of sustainable building materials, particularly clay and laterite, for residential and commercial buildings in the tropical climates.

My passion lies in creating structures that harmonize with the environment while enhancing indoor comfort and reducing reliance on mechanical ventilation.

With over five years of experience in architectural design, renovations, and construction, I have worked with both private individuals and government organizations, delivering projects that prioritize functionality, aesthetics, and sustainability.

In 2023, after becoming a registered architect, I launched VolArchy, a virtual and retail tech-architecting firm designed to bridge the gap between landowners and high-quality, sustainable building solutions.

Since launching VolArchy, I have had the privilege of working with multiple clients across Nigeria, helping them achieve healthier, more comfortable living spaces through vernacular design and innovative construction techniques.

Beyond architecture, I have a keen interest in sharing knowledge and ideas. Through this blog, I explore a variety of topics—from life experiences and tech tutorials to deeper discussions on agritecture, business, lifestyle, faith, and other subjects that inspire curiosity and creativity.
