Check out the interior tour! Timestamps available.
In today’s video we walk through one of the most unique homes we’ve checked out so far, the A-Frame, located in Karen, Nairobi, with the lovely owners Alisa and Thor. Thor is an architect who designed and built the home; he talks us through the journey, product, costs and so much more. Alisa manages the airbnb space and she walks as through the home and shares the beautiful space with us. The home is available for booking here: www.airbnb.com/rooms/46759784...

It's not the house that impressed me, the environment was what did it for me. Just imagine hanging outside with a glass full of ice tea on a cool summer evening.

You can admit easily that the home owner / builder was very attracted to the host in a sexual manner. I mean I can't blame him she it's rather nice. But that human connection was so thick you could cut it with a knife. Cool house though none the less

@TatyanaValdaBelindaHill 6 месяцев назад

You have done a wonderful job at presenting this! Your knowledge about building and physical beauty, mixed with being kind and friendly make such a lovely and balanced combination. Not easy being a female business owner (or presenting on RU-vid). You're doing a great job. ❤

@yvonnemuthoni2287 Год назад

I like that you don’t get to see the plumbing pipes and the house is simple. My understanding of the A frame is that it’s ideal in places there’s snow so that the snow does not accumulate on the roof.

‼️ 1. He took credit for bringing the idea of the A structure build, when Africa has built with A structures for centuries. 2. How did his family get to own the land that his wife referred to? She also referred to foreigners abroad being the main people who stay there.. 🤔 So subtly / passively existent there. Interesting. From NYC, love to all. Bless.

I'm Kenyan and there are many Kenyan of British descent...4 generations born in Kenya.

@clintonelias171 Год назад

Here in Canada we have great government regulations that help increase the build price substantially so few can afford this beautiful sustainable home. Where there is a possible cheap build, there is government red tape to increase the cost so it's no longer affordable for the low wage earners. No, no, no you're not allowed to pay off your home quickly on a labour salary, at least not here in Canada. High prices rule and you're not allowed to own property outright, only the house, then yearly property rental agreement,(known as property tax). This home itself will be $70 to $100kplus in Canada. We love cheap things to be expensive, the Canadian Way.

@cfoster6804 9 месяцев назад

Same exact situation in America. It's sad and unnecessary.

@unwind1183 Год назад

@itsk3v Год назад

Nice small property. Love the A Frame concept but not for a permanent home for me, maybe a getaway home. Also this area is one of the most expensive areas in Nairobi. That land will cost at least $100K depending on the size.

@aemeromedia Год назад

good post! 💪

@waynecurr9569 Год назад

Doesn't snow there. Snow is why A-frames exist. Looks nice !

@margaretwanjiku3621 Год назад

Why A-frame? It is a cheaper way to building using local materials, and combining the roof with the walls. The fact they are good for snow is an advantage that just doesn't apply in this case.

It seems like the W.P have the best business when it comes to building in Africa..and they have a unique house that's similar to Euro and American houses. Built in 3months and now they rent it out for AirBNB..I can't imagine the amount of revenue they will generate from investing return. They seem to have better opportunity than the Africans that live there.

In storms, the weakest parts of a building I believe are windows and openings. With the sides and back all being walls and the front recessed. I think it will do well in storms.
