These building capsules from China are already being purchased and installed in Nigeria and apparently they cost about $10k per unit; Could this be a great step towards solving the problem of affordable housing in Nigeria?

I went to Ikoyi this morning, and saw these high rise buildings that have been abandoned for some reason. In a state like Lagos with a huge housing deficit, why do we have so many abandoned buildings that should be otherwise occupied?

The Silhouette house uses a strategic positioning of breeze blocks + indoor pool at a central circulation point (the stairs) to facilitate the movement of natural air within the building, making it more energy efficient 🍃

The flood in Lagos today was so bad, the road before 3MB along Iyana-Oworo was flooded. I’ve never seen it this bad before;

Instead of those HDF panels that are becoming a trend, why can’t we do designs & patterns like this for our interior spaces?

Dear Nigerians, instead of paying such amounts for unattractive white boxes, why not pay an Architect (like me) to do something custom like this for you and get good value for your money?

What if the sun exploded? This one is interesting because it’s supposed to happen in about 5/6 billion years.

This house in India was designed with proper consideration for the frequent rainfall in the area; they get 6000mm rainfall and none of it goes to waste. Watch the video to see the system produced by that thinking,. Also notice how the roof eaves protect the building envelope from the rainwater as well?

Saw this video of Kunle Afolayan’s private residence on TikTok. This is called tropical style of Architecture and it is how we should build our houses in tropical climates like we have here in Nigeria and other countries along the equator..

This floor in method known as kaavi flooring is great for thermal efficiency and lasts longer than tiles and marble. Why aren’t they mainstream?

They’re cooking in Ghana🇬🇭: this is an off-shore coastal development built like a community cluster. The pathways are paved with natural stones and lush greenery and the design of the building makes it energy efficient..

I need Nigerian (especially Lagos) developers to come and see what an actual luxury development looks like. Fun fact: you can do this in Ogun State and still have easy access to Lagos. Send me a DM if you want such 🤙🏼

Thank you Moe for bringing this up! As an Architect who has lived and practiced in Lagos for almost a decade now, I have seen some atrocities called buildings, so I made this video weeks back, talking about how we’re meant to build in response to our climate

I came across this startup that uses waste products to create something called ecotiles. Why can’t we do this in a state like Lagos, for instance, that reportedly generates 13,000 metric tonnes of waste DAILY? This would: 1. Reduce dependency on imported building materials 2. Reduce cost of construction 3. Employ local labor and skill set 4. Create globally exportable building materials from our local labor market 5. Find a better use for the enormous amount of waste generated daily which constitutes nuisance in our environment
