Its kool...
Buh what about security?
I bliv diiz houses are meant to be very close to road sides..
In nigeria.... U'll get robbed everyday!

Ive seen few of those kinda houses @Ado-ekiti where i schooled, and some at KingsCourt around ikotun, lagos. Your taste and style could be replicated if you engagae a professional.

^^^ i'll agree with you if you mean lagos, but ado ekiti, you better be serious joor

Yes, they are possible. The one I am building in Nigeria is just like the last picture of the seven pictures you posted. The only change I made was to convert the three-car garrage to a suite. I got the plan from South Carolina. It is a 4,200 sq.ft home.

I am a Building engineer, all these pictures you pasted are simplest of all buildings in Nigeria... it is very possible with no had thinking.

this building is common in Yola

of course, yes

Seems u no dey comot! Where are you from sef weh u dey talk anyhow to Naija buiders, Architects and Civil Engineers? What do you take us for? Seems u no dey comot! Where are you from sef weh u dey talk anyhow to Naija buiders, Architects and Civil Engineers? What do you take us for?

stepone: I am a Building engineer, all these pictures you pasted are simplest of all buildings in Nigeria... it is very possible with no had thinking.

You just sold yourself out, How can all this pictures be the simplest of all buildings in Nigeria, you just collapse the claim of being a building engineer, Ethics finish for your trade....

Yes,it's very possible to have such buildings in Nigeria.
Also,get in touch for the processing of your Building Plan Approvals and Titled documents( C of O, Govs. Consent, Ratificatn Cases, Survey Plans etc), within Lagos, Ogun and Abuja.

This is no topic!

Mtcheeeeeeew!

mikron: houses like this abound in nigeria

the house you have in pic and the house the op has up there are 2 different houses
designs can be done anywhere but what I suspect the Op is asking about is materials which are suited for building houses like that

Very possible just thet the space 200x200 feet of land you have as space will not be enough to project it good outlook after the finish.

Na wa 4 dis ur question OOO! Here in PortHarcourt, Am living in ur type B kind of house as I type dis, only diff is dat there's a very big fence wch is heavily wired!!!

Anything is possible in Nigeria. But the only snag is the security system - no fence at all. Or is there any provision for that? This is Nigeria and there must be provision for "KiriKiri" high fence otherwise... I rest my case.

Zediccus: This is were i have a problem. Must they be fenced ? Can't there be an estate with good security system so as to avoid fencing ? Putting up a fence will definately hide its beauty.

Where is beauty without safety? In Nigeria, owning a home is safety first before beauty........

@poster i beleive you've gotten ur answer by now.
What roof materials are some people taking about? Is it shingles? Slate tiles? Step tiles? Green factor? Glazed? There are all used in Nigerian buildings.
Buildings basically reflects peoples' way of life, its all boil down to what you want. Garages, gardens and chimneys are all seen in most houses in nigeria, though chimney will on be for aesthetic purpose and i dont think Plateau state is cold enough to require it.
Garages on the other hand are not in vogue in Nigeria, but there are there.
Basicall buildings are base on many considerations like:
Cost implication, climatic requirement, user's requirement, building codes, location, availability of building materials, durabilty, fire resistance, cost of mentainance etc.
You are free to build anything anywhere as long has u can afford it and its not against the building codes and local authority.
I speak as an architect.

niddamugu:

yeah thats true, but depending on the Location. There are areas in Uyo for example where u can only build garden fences, basically for beauty. Little or no security is provided

They abound in Nigeria. Talk to your architect, he/she should give produce something like this for you or even more.

fuke: There are are houses like these in my town, Efon Alaye, Ekiti state.

The same Efon Alaye that I know very well. Liar

Building such a bungalow should not be that challenging but "better thing na money kill am" if you are loaded with cash, i mean we can buid that for you.

Why not? I dey plenty for banana island lol...

if u need someone to hang that house for you,give me a call 07026017827.I am based in ibadan

These houses are cool. Having them in Nigeria is of course practical bro. I wonder why some people opt for tenancy in expensive hotels in Nigeria and stay for God-knows years instead of having this kind of cool structure to his comfort. Any way, it's a choice but a rather wrong and insane choice.

NA SO NAIJA BACKWARD REACH?

ABEG STOP THE INSULT, WE DON PASS THAT LEVEL.

AS AN ARCHTKT, WE GIVE YOU WHAT YOU PAY FOR. THESE THINGS ARE DESIGNED AND BIULD EVEN IN VILLAGES IN ANAMBRA . HOW MUCH MORE NAIJA[/center]

@Op

You are very free to build anything(house) in Nigeria but you must keep in mind our special circumstance/geography) and culture et al.
Function and practicality/use must be paramount in your deliberation/thought. Foreign inspired architectural aesthetics do not always translate very well in our environment. You'll certainly find such monstrosities everywhere in Naija. We tend to mimic/consume foolishly or uncritically especially amongst the "new" monied class residing in so called high brow areas of our cities/towns. It is no wonder that Nigeria have some of the worst/ugliest physical structures in Africa despite our relative affluence. Please, take a look around in Africa, you may find something more inspiring than American style homes that are not exactly attractive nor functionally conducive to our environment. Our local architects might be able to inspire and fire your imagination if you can find a properly trained one not mere draughtsmen/women.
