About Me
Adewunmi Adefarakan

With a professional background of over 15 years. Adewunmi’s career uniquely evolved from high-end professional landscaping into full construction and real estate development, giving him a distinct perspective on how real estate value is created, perceived, and sustained over time.

Professional Background & Experience

Adewunmi began his career in landscape design and execution, co-leading operations under the Scapecity brand from 2008. During this period, he was directly responsible for the delivery of over 100 landscape and external works projects across Nigeria and Ghana, serving hospitality brands, institutional clients, commercial developments, and high-profile private residences.

This early responsibility for large-scale landscape projects instilled a strong culture of:

Quality control
80%
Design discipline
58%
Execution accountability
87%
On-site leadership
64%

These foundations later informed his transition into construction and development, where the same level of detail, coordination, and finish quality was applied to full building projects.

Development Philosophy

Adewunmi is known for a landscape-led development philosophy — a development approach rooted in the understanding that first impression, external aesthetics, and site experience significantly influence asset performance, particularly in hospitality and commercial real estate.

While many developers prioritize interior spaces alone, his approach integrates:

Landscape
70%
Architecture
58%
Construction
70%
Interior experience
60%

from the earliest design stages, ensuring that each project delivers value both visually and commercially.

This philosophy has proven especially effective in projects where brand perception, guest experience, and long-term valuation are critical success factors.

Leadership Role at Aqualfa Decor

As Founder and Principal, Adewunmi provides:

  • Strategic direction for development projects
  • Oversight of design coordination and execution
  • Cost control and quality assurance
  • On-ground leadership and risk management

He works closely with consultants, contractors, and partners to ensure that projects are delivered with clarity, discipline, and long-term asset value in mind.

Investor & Partnership Outlook

Through Aqualfa Decor, Adewunmi now focuses on structured joint-venture developments, partnering with foreign investors and landowners on hospitality and income-generating commercial assets in Nigeria and Ghana.
His approach to partnerships emphasizes:

  • Transparency
  • Clear governance
  • Defined roles and accountability
  • Long-term value creation

All partnerships are pursued through direct engagement and due diligence, aligning interests between capital providers and execution partners.
