Could be the left wing block of apartments he's putting up pole pole.

Obiero and chiaroscuro, what do you guys think about this one?

The environment we create is a reflection of our state of mind. Our architecture reveals our society's love for clutter. We clutter homes, roads, markets. We have a problem with free-flowing space sijui ni kwa nini. I passed by Holy Family Basilica in CBD and the space is now cluttered with funny buildings, car-parks-the holiness is just gone.

At least the South Africans werent as brainwashed as we were and they maintained their architecture but modernized their huts (brick walls, electricity, water etc). Like this President Zuma homestead (with his wives) in the village. He even has a cattle pen in the centre of the homestead, like his forefathers.

Inside some of the huts....

See how the doors are not facing each other? the Nairobi houses your window and door directly faces your neighbours, even landing cannot be done peacefully, don't even think of now telling your wife that you shall have a separate man cave and she is only allowed on invite only, even having a separate bed in the same room is a problem.
about complexity, I gave a client a very simple practical roof for his mansion at kahawa and he insisted he should have those fancy Kahawa roofs, he then kicked my recommended contractor and stole the fundi to work for him directly, he had a very stressful time during the last rains, same goes with the colours you see some colours and wonder dude a yellow roof? ugly colored cabros, mirror window glass?
What is it about kenyans and sunken lounges? I currently advice my clients to have flat level house throughout, even the bathroom is just 50mm, imagine kids running around a house with steps everywhere? when you get old or break a leg you will have a hard time getting around your sunken lounge.
I also suggest a lift an the looks I get... make a provision use the space as store, lifts are now cheap 1.5 m, n need of doing a nice master bedroom upstairs and sleep in the guest bedroom when old or injured.

Yes, complete with sauna and pool.

Very strange structure IMHO.
It's like there's a contest in Nairobi to run away from simplicity and order among architects.
I have nothing against experimenting but some of these experiments go just too far.

Nice diggs!

The issue is that they age so badly,they start looking whitish at the edges, for UV and light blocking you don't need to go reflective privacy also, I advice on bronze tinted glass, popular blue tint also makes the balding look cheap, there is UV and heat protective glass but it's stupidly expensive, most people opt to use film on normal glass

Bronze tint
