I wanted something simple when it comes to the building design but I'm currently scratching my head due to the size and number of windows present. But according to the architect, the gains are to come later on in energy savings + clean natural air/ilumination. 3 Likes |

somehow: I had the opportunity to sit inside a colonial era courthouse at Iyaganku couple of weeks ago. Even in mid afternoon with no AC or fan I marveled at the breeze flowing through and keeping the temperature very moderate. Upon closer examination I noticed lots of windows, oversized windows, windows shaded from the direct heat of the sun. I saluted those colonial era architects. I wanted to take pictures but I remembered that American embassy won’t necessarily assist law flounders of sovereign nations 6 Likes |

Focusmind: U are not alone! All those green and blue and red lights are really a turn off. The interior finishing guys are bringing studio and club designs into our homes. I wonder how people sleep after exposure to all the color riots. I vote wood. 7 Likes |

coldcandy: Some of Nigerian interior decorators knows nothing about decoration. For some, their own understanding of interior decoration is putting lights of different colours, stuffing and cluttering everywhere with heavy duty furniture and curtains. Mere looking at Houzz website could give one an idea of a modest and minimalist decor for any given space. That's my own idea of decoration. More of space; less of material objects. 2 Likes |

somehow: Honestly, I don't believe in using many windows as a form of energy savings in Nigeria with our dirty environment and poor air quality. For me, the windows in the house may be small in number but big in sizes, just for beauty and aesthetics. For quantifiable energy savings, I use solar as my energy source now. I only switch to the mains on cloudy weather. But since December last year and now, with the intense sunlight and harmattan, my solar has been my source of power. So, my prepaid meter has remained un-recharged for the past three months with good savings in energy cost. Ensure you have energy efficient deep freezer and ACs. The window AC may be out of fashion but a new 1hp window AC runs well with solar, lesser power demanding than split unit. My reason for having 1hp window AC for the rooms. 3 Likes |

Focusmind: For a start, a free energy saver is 100% better than inverter or solar though. (Both still cost money to get something worthwhile). But I have made provisions for both incase... So nothing spoil. 2 Likes |

KolaShangOne: Methinks the bottom lines here are, Lack of attention to detail. Lazy? Always in a hurry hurry to move to the next job. People not taking pride in their work. COPY CATS!!! From my experience, that's what I have noticed. I have found one architect only here on nairaland to ticked quite a few boxes. The one I detest the most is COPYCAT architect with silly designs and rubbish 3D designs.. 3D designs that ridicules architecture. I am not an architect but I think it is an art. Should be meticulously delivered capturing what the owner have in mind, considering purpose of thr building, livability and affordability etc.. while highlighting the craft, the art, the beauty of the profession. 1 Like |

somehow: In my main building, sometimes to read a paper in my living room, I have to shut some windows due to cross wind. In my BQ, overwhelmed by the main house there's little light. In fact I have to turn on my hallway light in broad daylight. |
