These are houses found worldwide n i was wondering to myself if we are ever going to get to this stage. Could we ever have Nigerians this good or we're still gonn hv to rely on the foreigner's to have a house this beautiful.

Would an average Nigerian home owner pay to build these type of houses? The major reason we do not have these type of structures is because most Nigerians are still at the bottom of the Maslow's hierarchy of needs...Still struggling to provide basic shelter for themselves. The economy does not support this at the moment. Once a country's economy goes bad every other thing goes bad.Also,we hardly manufacture here... no thanks to poor power supply that has suppressed our growth over time.Hence the cost of materials will be high for the common man.

Summary:
We have the imagination to design these type of houses.
We have the skill required to build these types of houses.
We do not have modern materials which are manufactured here.
We do not have the demand due to our economic situation.

I cant argue ure point boss kz ure so right.

America was just like this. i wasn't born 250 years ago when america started building but it didnt take them upto this to have something to show for it.

I support your comment sir, my lesson so far is that Some Nigerians want designs of foreign countries but won't want to pay much but they prefer paying for packaged services which most artisans promised to deliver to them thinking they av gotten that designs they want , it's better to say the truth and get stucked between the truth than to give the hope of clients high, how many services are off same quality standard with those ones we see in foreign countries but yet some people will package and make their clients believe they are getting same services as that of those developed countries..

there is really nothing exceptional here.
i am convinced nigerian architects and builders can deliver if given the funds and opportunity.

is it strange that i don't like these designs? why on earth would i want transparent glass as my bedroom walls? most of pictures looks like well polished 3d designs rather than real life pictures.

Spot On Boss!

OP, do a search for a builder called Skimanski and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at some of his builds. I certainly was.

If you have the money today then you can build any of those structures and even better ones in Nigeria. The technology, skills and materials are at the ready.
