Dont try. Some youtuber juzi had the whole house flooded after some big rains. Whole ceiling was destroyed, beds soaked, furniture spoiled.

Msungu ruled and settled in kenya for 70yrs and and there is a reason msungu architects never designed/built those stupid hidden and flat roofs.
Saw that random video on my feed.. jamaa aliona moshi after that storm..

Wacha uwongo, hao yetu ya childhood ilikuwa hizo nyumba flat roof designed na wazungu, huko Bata Limuru Estate 1,haijawahi kuwa na issue, nimeishi hapo Loresho pia same roof design similar Architecture zero problems during rainy seasons.
Shida ni bonobo that rush to immitate designs, happens ever so often with “new” projects.

Thats really worse. The whole house soaked?Was it a design problem ama ni fundi? It doesn’t look bad though. But with such a mess, so inamaansha you need at least a larger diameter and gutter for the rain water to flow seamlessly, ama?
Hio iko sawa but avoid that butterfly design.. Wacha ikue slanted ikienda nyuma.. otherwise ikiwekwa vibaya.. gypsum yako ita spoil.
Aluminium sheet cover or tiles or bitumen
And increase the angle of slope..to be steeper

the slant angle is too low.during a heavy downpour more water will be collecting aroung the gutter to form a dam because the gutter is too small/thin/shallow.Otherwise ukiweka a sizeable gutter na uslant mabati more itakuwa sawa.
But why not use a single slant all the way to the back kama zile za shopping centers za kitambo.
Hii style ukambani iko on almost every rental house. I copied this style too. Hakuna story ya maji kunyesha. It is also very cheap.
