Abstract
The rising concern for the effective and smooth operations of corporate institutions is a consequence of the various problems which occur in terms of operational procedures, rules and regulations and finally obligations within them. These institutions are usually finance oriented and have a marginal bearing on the economic development, of their country, their main function is a leadership role in restructuring, improving and managing the financial system, but with the recent trends, these functions are now questionable. The disheartening feature of Nigeria's economy has been i t s poor growth performance and despite the well articulated policies and s t r a t e g i e s , there s t i l l exists crises at the domestic and particularly international front. This deficiency is as a result of corporate institutions i n a b i l i ty to achieve positive output in their functions, these exogenous functions include management and administrative) psycological, welfare, transportation and design functions. The design of corporate architecture is wholly based on the organization of spaces to suit each relative activity. Architecture is an embodiment of socio-economic institutions whose form serves as the main restructuring organ is it controls the physical environment that people as individuals and groups can work and be together, seen as a means of accommodating and expressing the spaces for sound living.

( i i ) Fropose a well balanced system of organisation of spaces at the same time incorporate non-existing f a c i l i t i e s for their effective functioning. ( i i i ) Incorporate these spaces by proposing a design which not only exhibits f l e x i b i l i t y in design but also focuses coherence with the environmental setting and finally seen as a symbolic aspiration of Nigeria's desire in the international business community in the decade ahead.
