I think I know your style (below) kindogo kindogo kiasi kiasi. Sindio?
Is that a storey toilet?
Nope.
Cutting edge
architecture that someone probably paid 10 metre+ for
This might be an office block for an open air yard. Think logistics firm or a distribution centre. No sign of life though if we were to go by the driveway.

Could be the left wing block of apartments he's putting up pole pole.

Nope, tis a completed and occupied maisonette. Mr Dickson paid 5 metre to build it. 4br/2 ensuite. Evidence

The environment we create is a reflection of our state of mind. Our architecture reveals our society's love for clutter. We clutter homes, roads, markets. We have a problem with free-flowing space sijui ni kwa nini. I passed by Holy Family Basilica in CBD and the space is now cluttered with funny buildings, car-parks-the holiness is just gone.

It's more of love for chaos. I don't know what happened coz when the white man arrived in kenya in the late 1800s he found very well planned homesteads and villages. The architecture was also excellent, functional and uniform. Like this kikuyu village. And the good thing is that a house was built in one day and people moved on to other things unlike now when one has to be tied to a 20yr killer mortgage. Housing used to be a simple straight forward affair and no one lacked housing (or food) but mzungu complicated it so as to make money by supplying building materials and mortgage funds, until now many cannot afford homes because they were brainwashed and told their architecture is ushenzi.

At least the South Africans werent as brainwashed as we were and they maintained their architecture but modernized their huts (brick walls, electricity, water etc). Like this President Zuma homestead (with his wives) in the village. He even has a cattle pen in the centre of the homestead, like his forefathers.

Lovely the way those huts blend into the landscape-there is a sense of harmony. The mzungu killed those huts with the hut tax-they calculated taxes based on the number of huts in the compound.
