The block formation

Congrats on the works done so far.
Do you work with your own architect or was this design done by someone else?

I think the design was horrible. Don’t be offended. I think the house doesn’t fit the space. It looks like the owner saw the design somewhere and asked an architect to draw same for him or the architect drew the design without visiting the site. It looks ugly and amateurish.
I wonder why he chose that design for the gable. It has a hollow and the house owner will regret that. That hollow will attract all sorts. Dust, sand and silt will accumulate there encouraging the growth of weeds and plants and it won’t be easy to clean and deal with. Pigeons will make that their habitation and mess that house up.

Well no, is not our architect that designed the building.

Okay, i understand your concern but you know, people have different view, understanding and value for things.

However, we advise our clients but we equally allow them to decide, provided is not detrimental to the structure.

My coverage device went bad along the line and that may affect some pictorial update. Do bear with us please.
