Interesting times ahead!

My impression improved as I heard that project code name. That build needs to be in an environment with a lot of merit.

Let me be the plothunter.

With the information provided above, I don't think you need 16mm single core cables. 10mm single cable is enough for each DB since there are 3nos DB in the main building and the load is going to be evenly distribution to all the phases ..

Thanks

Remember I already reached out to you in regards to plot hunting?

But abeg I’m a humble retiree o, so I don’t bite bigger than I can swallow

Re the code name, my great grandfather was one of the 7 founders of Ijebu Ode and a previous Olisa. Awujale is Oba Ijebuland but Olisa is the Oba of Ijebu Ode. Small history lesson. I’m just glad to be back home in Nigeria amongst my people.

I sent you a pm. Wanna chat you sir.

Good morning house... We can serve you better with affordable

Youngstown:

Lol.. By an Engineer.
Thanks for being honest.

Every engineer, architect , draughtsman started from some where and we have such buildings in existence. There's always room for improvement. Give him the needed support and encouragement to grow appropriately if that is
what he desires.

Sure. The floor plans will be shared. My client has no issues with making that happen.

shogbenga:
The plan is for a building in an estate. I am only allowed to modify the interior. The windows and doors must remain where they are. Thanks

If windows and doors must remain where they are, what then are you modifying that will not affect d position of at least one door or window? (eg: those kitchen and bedroom doors facing each other like that)

Looking forward to a successful project.

To be honest, I'm struggling to see why most contributors are condemning this plan. Personally, I think the plan works and the flow is about right. I think most people didn't see the concept because the concept is just slowly creeping its way into Nigerian Architecture. To me, the plan works. There are two aspects to any plan: Flow and natural sunlight. Flow and sunlight make the house light and airy and energy-efficient.

GROUND FLOOR
You come into the ANTE ROOM and flow into the LIVING ROOM. This is right. The living room has both front and side windows pouring in light. This is right. The visitors' toilet is to the left of the ANTE ROOM. This may not be everybody's cup of tea, but I have seen it done in the UK. It works. From the LIVING ROOM, one could flow into the VISITORS ROOM, STAIRS AREA and the DINING. This is achieved without any dark spaces with light flooding in from the DINING as well. This works very well. The KITCHEN 'blends' into the dining. This works. The kitchen should have a window in the KITCHEN LOBBY area as well.

The BOY QUARTERS is a personal thing in relation to your family and your life chances. So I will not comment on this.

The OUTDOOR ROOM works very well. I wonder why the 'engineer' called this outdoor room. It is called LANAI but hey what's in a name. It doesn't matter. It works. See attached photos for final outcome of a lanai concept. Execute the 'outdoor room' with POP (NO PVC) with a fancy fan and a sliding door or bi-fold doors. The outcome will be very spectacular. Just slide the door open on a warm day and you will have breeze and light flooding in and with a void, the breeze will flow upstairs that you will not need AC.

FIRST FLOOR.
ALL rooms have balcony with cross ventilation and no dark spaces. Even the GALLERIES will benefit from some light. This is no mean achievement. Even the FAMILY LOUNGE has a balcony. This is a very energy efficient floorplan you will seldom need your AC.

For me, it is a good plan as I understand what was going on in the engineer's head. Don't throw the plan away. Sleepover it and visit again after some days.

Hello NL,

I'm experimenting with Affordable but Decent accommodation projects.

I have one developed and occupied successfully. I have another one in Design phase. I will like to get a feel for these build form here.

1. U should have an entrance porch to your ante room
2. Be creative enough whenever you intend having your visitors toilet window towards the approach view
3. Try and work on your Space Analysis (i.e the dining is almost bigger than the main living room)
4. Introduce a Laundry in your design besides the bar was like an after thought
5. Do the furniture arrangements and you will agree with me the Zoning of both living and dining is poor
6. Try and have a walk in closet for both Madam and master bedrooms..
7. Too many exits, whats your security measures??

In as much as I would commend your work you also have to consider the Nigerian factor or Architecture in your build
Thanks

The upstairs Family Lounge is almost dead space, furnish it and you'll understand....... I suggest you remove the balcony and extend the lounge.
Also try to cross Ventilate wherever you have the opportunity..

I’d have loved to share the beautiful landscaping of this compound but the dogs...

I love the simplicity of this build and the lovely trees. I’d pick this over any of the “100m” build in Ikota villa.

E get why!
