TheMinimalist:
These modern shower heads cost around 450 dollars each . the conventional shower heads cost only 40 to 60 dollars. there's a difference . Let's assume you have 3 baths in your house , are you wiling to spend $1500 just for shower head alone ? the bathtub alone cost 500 dollars. .are you willing to spend 1500 for bathtubs alone ?

what about the modern lighting/
The closet door you see below is around $1200 . If you have 5 bedrooms are you willing to spend 6000 dollars on closet doors alone .let's assume you have 5 bedrooms . closet doors alone = $6000 ,the front door = $1300 ,Garage door = 3000 dollars . Shower head for 5 bathrooms=$2600
Toilet seats for 5 bathrooms =2500 dollars
Bath tub for 5 bathrooms =3500 dollars.

all of that roughly = 20,000 dollars or around 7 Million naira. we haven't began building the house . what about electrical wiring , plumbing,etc.

sighs! you still don't get it, do you. anyway, sha continue with your modern design

TheMinimalist:
Go build whatever you want to build but I assure you there's no way to get around it . even a cabin like this one below cost $3,000 dollars 1 million naira. call me when you;re done with your modern house and let's see how much it cost. so you want a nice house for peanuts. you better stick to building a mud hut if you have no money to builda modern house. nothing good comes cheap.

you are not a minimalist

TheMinimalist:
I am. but the problem is that you are poor. go get yourself an education and get yourself a good high paying job and stop fantasizing about the homes i'm posting .they're are not for you.
I'm a computer Engineer and i make $300,000 dollars(110 million naira) per year from all my investments . My view is different from yours. . Dude I lived in a camping van for 5 years during and after college . I'm 27 going 28 later this year .

what is a minimalist to you?

chai! see finishing!


You're just a pathetic slowpoke that managed to get himself a computer to do some fancy designs! who ask you all this one wey you dey talk? wetin concern your imagined "paycheck" from your so called "investments" with wetin we dey discuss? You lack common sense! and it's pitiable that someone that claims to be so "educated" cannot get the memo that your designs are so exorbitant, a right thinking individual in Nigeria today will not pay for it! Even after giving you a hint to do something low cost, you kept on ranting about doors, glass panels, shower caps and crap! you get sense at all?! what gave you the impression that I am poor and uneducated?! you have the audacity to insult me because you have a computer?! you are a big f00l!

Just look at the putrid trash you regurgitated and spat out on this thread? iranu!

TheMinimalist:
you're ridiculous . do you know the price of a piece of glass sheet?


the garage door alone cost 3000 dollars, around 1 million naira. Do you know how high quality that door is . it cost over $1000. i'm actually converting from dollars to naira. just for garage door and front door alone that's 1.5 million Naira.

Your response shows you know very little about modern minimalist architecture.
There is a reason its called minimalist. Less is better. Less is more. Minimalist design strives to convey the message of simplicity. It uses basic geometric forms, and elements without much decoration, and simple materials.
I can go on and on, but it would be a waste of time. If you are actually well grounded in minimalist architectural designs and buildings, you wouldn't keep stressing on the price of the garage door, as if its what gives the building its most befitting quality.

While I agree that each individual has the option to finish his house with the quality of material he can afford, cheap, mid range, or expensive, that aspect should be left at the owner's discretion.

In Nigeria, that same door can be fabricated with aluminium or any other suitable metal, at a fraction of the cost you mentioned. Check out Skimanski and his posts in this property section. That's someone who knows his onions. I can bet you he and his team can fabricate a good looking garage door at half that cost, or less. You post mostly pictures sourced from the internet here. What's the point? Anyone can do that.

If you wish for patronage, go and do some more researches, then bring realistic, workable figures that many will find attractive. I wouldn't patronise you from what you have posted here.
Not beefing you. Just a honest observation. You don't even need to listen to a single word I typed here.

Such a pity.

Come back in 5 to 7 years and read this post of yours.
If you still feel its justified, then you're set.
You got a long way to go. I'm just hoping you will get there.
All the best!
