hehehe. Africans view roof as the main element noticeable from afar. For bungalow and maisonettes, that’s the core area where creativity(signature) of the architect comes into play, taking into consideration the client’s urge to brag determines the end results.:smiley: It’s something we have from way back stone age pale Turkana…just look at our traditional houses and see that despite looking simple, they were also complicated in roof designs of that time.

In short; roof is the face of your pigsty and design is more of cultural heritage.
mkipata time go through - architecture of Africa.

The same way na gari, it changes ukieka designer rims.

@shocks for me less is more. am not sure what the architect was trying to communicate by including all types of roofs in one house without harmony. there is nothing complicated about it, it’s simply confused. personally i have a bias for flats roofs.

a good roof gives character to your house it could a simple as this…

if that was your post on pin up board umeji expose.

when your are designing someone’s dream home you should be prepared to deal with a lot of bullshit and unreasonable demands.
sometimes these clients approach you with a ready designs for you customize it to suit thier sites. Trying to convince them otherwise is a tall order. as they say the client is always right. I have walked away from such deals…
