Looks really nice :up: :up: :up:

GiJaamac, what happened to the "guess where this place is" threads. You should create more of them. Lama's stories and those threads are probably the most entertaining content on the forum.

Because:
1. Concrete and stone is cheaper material
2. Keeps cooler in the summer months and warmer in the cold months

GIJamac, you mean architects not civil engineers :|

Number 1: Dude is on medication. Majority of Favori employees are Somalis, weliba young Somali cats (aged 22-45). I'm friends with 3 of them and chill at Favori office building whenever I'm in the neighbourhood. 1 Kenyan dude ayaa u shaqeeya.

Number 2: nacaskaan video ga iska duubey wuxuu ka hadlaayo ma yaqaan. I could not watch the video after 30th sec.

Turkish iney dantooda wataan waa la ogyahay. Nothing is free in life.

Civil engineers are not responsible for a building's overall design. That task chiefly belongs to the architect. And that house ain't all that. Just waiting for the techicolour painted walls to show up.

No it was a somali civil engineer who designed and built this simple yet modern villa.
