Oga himself. I know say you no go disappoint. Fine crib. Looking at this alone, I am impressed with the design of this interior with the slanting ceiling

I love it when living rooms have shapes unlike the usual square or rectangular shapes we see here in Nigeria.

You should have left that window opening you made and just fix a non openable window. That way, it is cheaper and you have natural light enter the place.

I love windows. Where it becomes expensive, I just put permanent one. That way, you save cost of mosquito net and other window accessories. grin

I love this your design. Is it a bungalow or a duplex if you don't mind?

Thank you Sir.

It’s a Mediterranean bungalow with a central courtyard. I bought the plan out of Florida and had a local architect Nigeranize it for me.


I reduced the windows not only due to the cost but also based on the flow of the house and how I intend to use it. It’s still pretty bright and airy on the inside due to the central courtyard.

True. But when one is not totally on ground, the maintenance becomes problem on renewable energy...
Abi?

Could be downright dangerous and some houses have burned. I’ve refused work for a few abroadians due to this. If you don’t have MaiGuard or Tenant na to refer you to someone else ni o grin

Though there are a few tech that can cut off power generation in case of issues.

With unmonitored renewable energy, you basically have Kanji Dam without the engineers.

If you do decide to go this route then please don’t use Chinese stuff it only high grade ones, German and USA stuff still better. But N3.2M? grin

Mehn, I love this. I love large French windows. It is just money that is the problem. That's why Nigerian landlords will keep given people one tiny thing as window in their rented apartment.

Large windows brings out beauty. Nice one - congrats.

I hear you too o. Even though I have MaiGuard 24/7 but how technical inclined is the Mallam. smiley
Working with @Desiji should be good.. I know he uses like all German/Europe equipments, so I think the Chinese equips may be eliminated. May be high Chinese equips ma be good too. Exporting from here too may be dangerous and expensive especially if you dont know what you are doing like Old fool like me.
But when I am ready, I will surely learn all I need. I have started gathering that information now.
I will surely link with @Desiji because he is heavily into this for few years now. Thank you.

If you can leave those windows big as they are will be lovely. Remember the way that your house is built will be good for your Political career when it's finished.

Imagine Senator EgunMogaji representing Omi-Ado area. Lovely.

Well, I stand to be corrected but that is one of the tenets of the foundation of this thread. To ask professionals for opinions and assistance.

I personally thank all the professionals that have shared opinions and guided people like me.

Even though I couldn’t afford Spyder880 and he wasn’t working in my area at that time, my local builder got sick and tired of me always checking his work to Spyders.

Please stop demeaning homeowners that come here looking for opinions. They have a right to, just professionals have a right not to answer.

Thanks.

PS: Here’s the thread starter:

“ Off-Topic Thread - To Discuss Anything and Everything that doesn't fit into an individual thread.
Let's discuss everything pertaining to Building Constructions, Real estate and some more.

Note: Please no products or services advertisements... there are plenty of other threads for that already. No buying and selling on this thread. ”

Advertisement is expressively forbidden but yet we’re daily inundated with anything from perfumes to whatnots on here.


I understand the tenets of this thread. I only gave a response to the initial post. Apologies if you got my statement wrongly.

Beautiful design you've got there.. lot's of light, very airy.

That's almost close to my ideal floor plan.

But what I am still trying to figure out is how to make the house not look like a jailhouse with the door/window protector??

Are you going to be using the traditional jail house protectors prevalent or you have a modified design up your sleeves?

This is the quagmire that I’m in.

I’ve been pouring over anti burglary designs on Pinterest. I haven’t come up with an ideal design yet that meets security and aesthetics.

So the only few home invasion robberies in my vicinity threw me for a loop.

The anti burglary bars were removed in seconds by the thieves and the imported dogs were swiftly put in a comatose situation. So what are we now talking about again sad

I truly wish for liberal gun laws and castle doctrine in Nigeria.
