  • Check out this zero waste home! In today’s video, we check out a home built out of shipping pallets and numerous other recycled materials in Westlands, Nairobi. Tony’s home wasted no materials as he used discarded pallets, the boards they come with, discarded bank doors and glass, and other recycled materials in such creative ways. He talks us through his building journey and shares his home with us. We discuss the materials used, costs and so much more. The home is available for booking here: www.airbnb.com/rooms/51494654...

    Thanks for four bedroom house. The economic impact of families and country at large shall be massive in the very near future. Building Small Scale Mines and Highly mechanised commercial farms infrastructures will be done within short period of time. Thereby igniting the development of secondary industries across the country.

    I live in America ,
    The American kictchen is kind of not American style .
    The microwave is too low, it should be on the counter or above the stove etc, eye level. Plenty of cabinets space top and bottom.
    An island in the center of the kitchen, would be great for an

    Welcome back AMOAA! When you build in africa do you have to locate contractors from outside of the country to build modern amenities or local ppl? Curious!

      Prime land in highly desirable residential area. Despite its proximity to the river I can only imagine the monthly enquiries and tempting offers this plot must get from developers who could easily build an apartment with over 200 units or a large multi-million house here. I doubt this current project will even make it to 15 year when those offers increase inline with demand.
