Hi Vanessa thank you for such great content! How much will a house like this cost?
I LOVE IT , HE CAN USE IT FOR AIRBNB
ONLY NEW GENERATION CAN TRANSFORM THE COUNTRY
Vanessa, you have interviewed a great numbers of people. You should start a consulting business. Advertise overseas in Europe, Canada and America.
The place is beautiful
This is sooooo beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
WODE MAYA 😃😃😃😃
People are using their cerebrum, whiles the masses are thinking Accra…
Indeed.
Guess you're visiting too
Young man I need you so urgently because I want to have a deal with you
Smart thinking, this is what bringing skills home is about. Creating unique stuff
This is what we need in Africa all the smart brains to bring their ideas and build the continent, great content Vanessa 👏
Lesson learnt " venture into new spaces." This is what I am talking about SEEKING out like minded VISIONARY leaders and AFRICANS who can see what others can't 👀👀👀 see building sustainable eco-friendly architectural housing projects. An INSPIRATIONAL ENTREPRENEUR who is a part of the SOLUTION team in our beautiful Motherland AFRICA by the way am on the way see you soon!✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I love thisss😍
Africa is heaven on earth! Africa is the garden of eden!
Amazing that he just build this, in Amsterdam this is actually is quite known, people live on them on the kanals in the city. We call them “woonboot” translates to: livingboat
Lol I heard you got deported from Ghana
I did watch a documentary on this the other day while styling the Float/Swan ironically lol. Look forward to visiting Amsterdam soon x
We miss you Acheampong family & I really wish that you hadn't left so soon anyways maybe you just needed to settle some things so I definitely won't give up on a return 😉
@@guy11boyyahooo hope you are okay because your comments is very irrelevant.
@@yesohyes9198 he's not ok, he's a dunce
BEAUTIFUL PLACE, I LOVE QUIET PLACES THAT CONNECTS ONE WITH NATURE, you were the first one that I saw on UA-cam talking about Ghana wich led me to the other popular Ghanaian and the rest of Africa youtubers that talk about the pros and cons to keep the conversations real, stay BLESS and keep connecting as you venture into your life purpose,BLESSINGS.
This is all very nice what we saw there in this video. But more interesting to know is the sanitation concept of this project. We saw bathrooms and toilets. Where is the sewage going??? Is this another project from Been tos which pollute our environments ??
We have already the fish cages spoiling the lakes waters and create massive problems, even for the VRA Turbines.
And what is the Bilharziosis protection for anyone using this pool??
Only at the Volta Delta at Ada we have save waters to swim in on the whole Volta.
Any kind of floating habitat creates problems to the environment. World Wide.
Pls add to this video the more important informations.
@@vsmarketingghana185 Reading between the lines, I can see envy embedded in your comment
@@nobs997 Y are absolutely wrong. I am dealing with much more beautiful ideas as this one.
But from the point of environment. And when we are called in we find out many times that there are no needed standards kept as the Been toes think what is standard abroad, they dont have to care about in GH. And Vanessa is not the construction expert to ask the right questions to be answered.
Take such clips always with a spoon, not a pinch, of salt.
@@vsmarketingghana185 You sound like a vigilante building code wannabe officer. Of all the structures in Ghana, why this very one ?
You should check Wode Maya on youtube
He also talks a lot about Ghana
I enjoyed this. I am from Florida and idea of a House Boat is common. I wish I was able to smell the wood.
So unique Vanessa! Your Content is always Top Notch. I have already sent this out to 5 of my friends in The States. Thank You. 👍🏾
Kenya needs this for the parts that sea level is rising ,they can benefit from this in many ways . So beautiful
This reminds me, a very good friend of mine, Mr. Cox and his family and his dog are also living in very beautiful boat house here in washington DC, Maryland, Virginia...DMV areas. But this floating house is such a beautiful house, I will make this man build the same thing for me at the same place. Thank you so much for sharing
I love this intro!
Thank you!!
Incredible. I would love to own such a house as a holiday home.
This is one of my dreams to live in Afrika on the water, not on land; for me the water is Divine. I lived in the Netherlands and saw houses on the water as well as houseboats in India. This one is so cool. Great Idea.
It's such a creative idea!
@@VanessaKanbi ["It's forgotten history on our ingenuity, remember we had great cities along great rivers; The Nile is one of them. Modern thinkers in the new age are bringing back our versatility. Sadly, they haven't mastered digital smelling yet. Would have like to smell the woodworks, yeah mon! The type of wood is a major important factor. I learn some interesting points from this one. Liked the part about the picture in the window, it truly is. Ashe O"]
Absolutely beautiful, looks so peaceful. Beautiful concept. 👍👍👍🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹❤❤❤
Wow,if he can build more of this on the lake, like it will be so Bueaitful area.....
I'm impressed. Im like wow 😍😍😍
Absolutely amazing. See what happens when Ghanaians are actually" thinking". Thank you Nessa
It's lovely!!! And very innovative!! By the way, that man has a WONDERFUL voice. He would make a great stage actor. I like the sister's outfit. It looks very tailored. Another GREAT job Vanessa.
Thank you Lauren, outfit was made by my tailor based in Accra : )
@@vimfitglobal7176 You been selfish enjoying in Ghana, when you coming back to London so that we all enjoy this miserable weather together ?
Living by the water is an absolute dream come true yet alone floating in your dream home. This is absolutely AMAZING!!! I’ve watched this more than 5 times already while planning out my dream home💖
Eeii @Ofeibea Ofei I love 💗 your mind.
Thanks Vanessa for yet another inspiring upload.One feels reassured that there's potential in Ghana-Africa in the midst of the nay sayers. Very innovative and this project is going to the get this enterprising guy very busy with requests all over the place. I'll certainly love to have one at Ada.
So proud of this creative development and the exciting experience it provides.
This is amazing 💯💯💕💕💕💕✊🏿
Vanessa, I know your parents. I went to school with your dad in Ghana, in the '60s many moons ago. Great job!

Hey whoever did this ,is genius. Hope to see this in Uganda. Big up
This is a first class floating house you have there. The set up and finishing were on point. Serene and peaceful environment to stay. Great video VK. Thank you again for this
Beautiful finishing - I agree!
Eii Ghana! Such talent!!!
This is a Beautiful place with great views!!!
I'm not sure there's a more beautiful place on the planet than akosombo
Wow this is incredible 👏 happy to see this in Ghana 🇬🇭 I will visit soon 😊
OH MY GOD THIS IS MY DREAM!!! I’ve always wanted to live on a houseboat, but this is a completely different level of living on the water 😍😍😍 My partner and I are planning to move to Ghana and I’ve kept wondering about how we may be able to get a houseboat on the Volta and woooow this is just incredible. An absolute dream. We must do this.
Akosombo is the best looking and serene place in Ghana arguably. My very favorite zone
Most beautiful thing I have ever seen
very cool. your videos of unique residences are always great! Fan from Nigeria :)
Very creative brother. I like how the house blends with the lake in a minimalist but also interacts with the lake in a very functional way when it turns to please the view you desire. The place also feels peaceful and calm.
Thank you Vanessa for coming to see us, great footage of the Swan ! It was great to meet you and look forward to seeing you again soon : )
Only Afreeka can bequeath this way of life. Thanks for inspiration and gentle reminder to not settle in mediocre.
The window view is like a piece of art
This is so serene. I was born in Akosombo and spent my first few years growing up there but now lives in the UK. It’s a beautiful place with so much untouched green land. The floating house on the Volta Lake is absolutely beautiful.
Vanessa, there’s a beautiful new hotel in Akosombo called the peninsula hotel and golf club, you would absolutely love it!
Very innovative and cool ! Proud to see how African's children are now believing in it's potentials . GOD BLESS AFRICA AND ITS CHILDREN .
Really authentic💥….may we continue to see such creative people on the continent. Vanessa, ayikoo!
I was in Akosombo with Kweku in December 2020. And it's wonderful to see such a simple complex being finally completed on the Lake. I have a funny feeling that we're going to be neighbours one day.
Great Job Uncle Kweku and Cousin Claudia! 💕The place is beautiful! ✨
Thank you my beauties, cant wait for you all to visit and experience floating therapy! xxx
