--Days--Hrs--Min--Sec
Three years, fourteen revisions, one house.
We sketched it on the back of a menu, argued about the kitchen for a year and changed the windows more times than our architect would like to admit. It is finished. Come and walk through the drawings with us.

The kitchen island
Where every plan was argued over and finally agreed.
- C
The terrace
Terracotta louvres, a palm and the best sunsets in Gwarinpa.

Site visit
Ribbon on the gate
A short thank-you to everyone who helped us build.
The tour
Plan in one hand, small chops in the other.
Dinner on the terrace
Suya, grilled fish and the first meal on the new terrace.
Lights on
Music in the garden until the neighbours complain.
Site-visit smart.
Relaxed and comfortable. Blueprint blue, white and terracotta are lovely, and flat shoes are wise.

- Line white
- Terracotta

From paper to home.

Good to know
Can I see the original drawings?
Yes. Uche will happily show you every revision, all fourteen of them.
Should I bring a gift?
Not at all. If you would like to, a plant for the terrace would be perfect.
Are these photographs of the real family and house?
No. Everyone pictured is a fictional sample for this design, and the house is imagined.
