Hi, skimanski.

Can you share with us what the roof of this structure is going to be made of?
I'm thinking its concrete, from the flat appearance. Am I wrong?
Do tell. I'm loving this!
They are Hidden roof, with Roof gutters to drain water. Something of this Sort attached Below

"Contemporary and Modern Architecture" The word many a times is used wrongly when referring to particular style of building.

Contemporary architecture is, in simple terms, The trending Architecture, the architecture of the present day.

"Modern Architecture" refers to the architecture of the early and mid-20th century. The architecture that Broke away from the Old stone Style. This means the Architecture we see all around are modern Architecture. Since modern Architecture became too Regular and cold, thus new Styles were bound to come up, hence the Rise of Contemporary Architecture.

So in a more realistic sense "contemporary" is not limited to a single stylistic thread that's everywhere. But a broad style that's in the moment. Be it Curved Style Building, Straight Building, Dot buildings, the moment its the Architecture of the moment, then you call it Contemporary.

Now contemporary in Nigeria is different from contemporary Overseas. Architect Overseas are more broad in their Style of thinking. They tend to try out what hasn't been done before. This is mainly because they want to identify their name to a particular style, as the competition for excellence is high. This has now resulted in unbelievable Sculptural looking Architecture overseas that we call Contemporary Architecture.

This however is not the case in Nigeria, as Nigerian architects seem to wait for someone to come up with a new Style then everybody peaches on the style like bees. All of a sudden it goes viral. and becomes a trending Style that we call Nigerian Contemporary Architecture.

Now we shall bring you a story of Nigerian contemporary Architecture we are about to construct. In the design below, we Hope to show our esteemed followers the way Contemporary buildings can be constructed from our Point of View. With a broader mind, we might be involved in ground breaking Concepts in terms of Exterior and Interior presentation for the final look of this building. This concepts shall bring to bear the Dimension at which we want to take Nigerian Architecture to.

Man U season turning to that of Chelsea Last season. Me know say Mourinho is a bad looser. He has no idea what to do when he is down. How can u sub our 2 full backs with pace (Valencia and Shaw). What happened to subing rooney and Fallaini that do not have pace or subing Ibra. Now manu players dey collect yellow card full everywhere.

We for just soffery leave Vangaal or Give the Job to Giggss.

Thanks bro, I really appreciate this because my tiler said carpenter should install doors b4 they work so they will use the door and take their level in order to prevent the door from scratching on the tiles while opening. He has a point anyway.
What if after tiling and with ur sub frame inplace, the door floor is now lower than d tiles, what do we do?
I am always of the Opinion that the door should not determine the level of the house, let the level determine the door. Get your floor level, Drain level. Preferred Height, then you install the doors. Because, if the Level of the door in once location is different from the level of the door in the nearest locations, you will find your self changing floor levels during tiling. You internal doors are wooden i assume. They are adjustable, if need be. The idea is to get your height right and you can adjust the top of frames to suit the level of floor.

Meanwhile There are certain china Doors (Most of them that i have seen), that you can install before tile, because there have Steel Frames attached to the doors Underneath to protect things from Crawling in. (Na there China for deliver creativity pass turkey). With that frame, you can install the doors then lay your tiles to meet the frame.

My oga, pls, which one comes first. Installation of foreign doors b4 floor tiling or floor tiles b4 foreign doors? Regards
It depends on the Type of doors.

We install our internal wooden doors and Turkey security doors After tiling. For the Turkey Security doors, we lay our tiles to the point right before the door way, then we install the doors, using the level of the tiles so as to reduce the Space underneath the door, to allow for just swinging of the door, and nor for something to come crawling via underneath.

Derguss:
Skimanski. The house has good finishing. There's also good choice of color. But I'm particularly interested in the position of the wall brackets in the bedrooms. They appear to be on top of your windows. Is there any reason for this?
I for one am not a fan of Wall brackets on top of window locations, but In the rooms, there were very little space for wall brackets apart from the window spaces, and client said he would prefer them in the middle of walls, so the window location were our only hope.
