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...

I liked the interviewer. She was so friendly and her questions were what I would have asked. The house is very nice. Well done to them for building this.
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
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.
That's how most rich saburbs looks like. We call em leafy surbabs for a reason
Beautiful house. I love ❤️ it
Kitchen is a wow!
You know the thing
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 UA-cam). You're doing a great job. ❤
Ghanaian 🇬🇭 Watching from the NETHERLANDS 🇳🇱 The HOUSE 🏘️ is Elegant, Ecofriendly, multi-purpose. I LOVE THIS BUILDING 💕

My dream is to exit the West forever and live in some country(ies) in Africa!
Ive become addicted to your channel since discovering your content. I have been saying for a long time that in a few years i will be living abroad and continuing my minimalist way of living. I LOVE EVERYTHING that ive seen and will be planning a trip to Africa (Ghana) soon! Thanks for the content and YOU are a beautiful!!! Thank you for your expertise!
Beautiful and warm A-frame house, Thank you for taking me around this beautiful house.
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.
I would love to stay at this A frame airbnb in Nairobi. I saved the video for a future trip to Kenya.
Thank you. I've seen this place online in several places but never so extensively presented and in such detail, with the actual owners. Kudos to you and the cameraman.I enjoyed the video.
Thor please move to North Carolina! I'll keep you busy building A-frames ;)
Congrats Amoaa, great interview as always. You just ask the right questions.
This is a truly beautiful, modern, minimalist design. Love it!!! ❤
Contacts please
Thanks for this lovely episode on such unique property! I like the way it’s nestled in greenery and the space is just 😍…Merry Christmas to you.
It's so beautiful! Merry Christmas to you too!
I love A-frames they are so unique and visually appealing. Thanks so much for sharing.
They really are! This is the first I have seen in person and I was so so fascinated by it. Thanks for watching, Tamika!
Just the other day I was thinking of building a house like this which reminded me of my childhood home.
It was made of rocks and had a thatched roof.
Such charming little hide away in the forest. Looks and feels really peaceful. 😍😍😍
Anything is POSSIBLE in our beautiful Motherland AFRICA with great minds who think alike and have a VISION. 🌍🌍 🇬🇭 🇰🇪👊
hello am from kenya , nanyuki and am an engineer working on a similar a-frame home but use of timber on my project is the only difference ... awesome home❤
wow, the interior is superb ,creativity showcased
I need you to do one for me, how do l contact you.
Show us how you did it, interested too
Your contact?
Is it the one in Naro Moru near Nanyuk that's recently been showcased on another channel? That one's on another level.
Amoaa !! Lovely to watch you from Kenya .l wish we can have the same A frame shape buildings in the cool mountains of Ghana as simple natural sustainable living in the forest green areas ! Well done 👍
That would be something really special to see😍 Thanks for watching, Elizabeth!
Finally, Been waiting for the next episode/upload for a while now. I love your content.
Sorryyy, I will work on the consistency 😩 Thanks, Jida!
Shalom, Salaam Alaikum, A frame house are all over the North Carolina Mountains! I luv the blue bedding! Also luv Amoaa s dress n hairstyle!
Beautiful A- Frame building ❤
Love it!! Great tour.
This is beautiful , we need this in Ghana
In the country sides of Ghana surrounded by natural green self sustainable living !! would be lovely 😀
MashaAllah beautiful architecture 👌🏼🔥❤️
❤️ From Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Merry Christmas 🎁 beautiful Amoaa. The building is beautiful
Merry Christmas Dona!🥳 It really is!
Amoaa is too knowledgeable! Subbed!
‼️ 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.
The owners are local
I'm Kenyan and there are many Kenyan of British descent...4 generations born in Kenya.
I don't know about these 2, but understand that just like the Europeans who settled in the U.S centuries ago, there are folks who also settled in Kenya besides the colonialism, as far back as the 13th 15th century Chinese, Arabs were at the coast.
Kenyans are of many types and hues, just like you do in NY.
hahaaaaaaa Americans with there racism card in everything
So beautiful wen u even add skylight ❤
Amoaa,
I am from Limuru Kenya and the "A Frame" design would really siut my environment well. Very well presented show as usual with good detail. I would like to see the designs of the improvements Thor has made from the prototype. Thank you for sharing his contact and for sharing the experience of this unique house design.
I just bought a plot of land in Naivasha and I think I'll be contacting his company for a slightly modified version of this prototype.
A-frame homes go back 10 thousand years. Remember the great pyramids in Egypt!
Pyramids are different. A frames are a bit simpler.
True.. sooo he was wrong when he said it’s a new for the people from there. Gotchya. 🤓
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.
It’s beautiful, the only uncertainty for me is having to go down those steep stairs in the middle of the night to relieve oneself while half asleep or tipsy!
Fell in love with A-frames three years ago. Amoaa, any hope of finding an architect who can help with these builds in Ghana?
Get in touch.
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.
Same exact situation in America. It's sad and unnecessary.
Stunning!
Creative concept.
Very nice build...
Awesome...!!
Doesn't snow there. Snow is why A-frames exist. Looks nice !
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.
Long time hope u are good Nice work like usually.
This is beautiful 😍
Love it!
Omg this is beautiful
Merry Christmas 🎄 ❤
Merry Christmas, Adwoa🥳
amazing! need those A frame plans
Get in touch.
Get in touch.
This is a very beautiful and romantic option for an AirBnB.
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.
Not surprised.
A wonderful build.
Very stylish..I ❤️ it..
Beautiful
Beautiful home.
It’s lovely for an air b&b.
Nice design 👍👍
good post!
💪
Beautiful home, I would love to have one here in the US one day.
I love it, just need some land so i could build one myself!
Who else skipped the the conversation done at the door to see the interior 🤣hands up✋it was time wasting .next time let talking come last we Gona watch without skipping
Great content
Wonderful dream house my wish I want to live here permanently ❤❤❤❤
This is my ideal home
I "love" this house!
very cute pup
So cool man
Can you share the plans for this beautiful house? My husband and I are on the hunt for a decent size aframe cabin plans to build in tennesse
nice home but ld love to do this in Canada but l can't put the plumbing underneath the house without being some how heated in the winter
Very nice
Beautiful A Frame!!❤
🇰🇪 love this
Beautiful 🏠. I too like a shaped houses as they have the traditional hut , cozy look. I loved it. Did u just mention 3 months to build?
I am watching this episode and I am reminded of a UA-cam channel called #Boxhop it has beautiful A Frame homes rented as airbnb of even people living in them in America. In all different climates. I like how they did the water.
I wish I could get this built in the US for $35k i would get one tomorrow
This A-roof design is like a Dutch style boerderij-farmstead or farmhouse roof built on the platteland- remote country districts in Holland.
Awesome build, but the superstructure could do with a few tweeks, the foundations are far to many and wrong sections and placements
35 k ????? I can't even get the permit for that money here in Cali. Great job
So do it in Africa!
can we have the plans of it, with dimensions, and a section? owesome built, owesome
Great channel you have here! 🫶🏾 Thank you
Thanks, Florah!🥳
Good Stuff 😍😍😍😍
Thanks, June!😊
If I can get a listing of all the materials used for this omg I would be grateful, plan as well
Would rather have the talking while touring the home. Beautiful home.
Good afternoon,do you guys delivery in the USA?
Great design the bathroom is so sad you need to sync against the wall with the mirror and use the light from the window to see what you’re doing
I definitely like the concept and innovation. I do have a concern in what happens in critical weather such as storms, and so forth. What preventative measures are there? Don't get me wrong I definitely like it just thinking of all angles.
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.
Also, check 3:15 for it's extra reinforced foundation.
@@kofitwum6858 Thanks, Kofi!
Dope home - Karen seems to have a lot of upscale homes
Karen is an upscale area. It has actually been ranked among the top 10 luxury home hotspots in the WORLD.
@@esem135 Lol. Stop.
@sbavc4929 Stop what? It is a FACT and the TRUTH. Prove me wrong!!!
To buy land in Karen, you need at least $400,000. Check Afrikan Traveller.
@@sbavc4929 They're not lying. Karen really is very upscale. Such leafy neighbourhoods in Nairobi are extremely expensive.
The wife in this video seemed so awkward in her interaction with Amoaa. The home is beautiful and serene
Ofcourse
The guy isn't much of a talker. Lol
Omg! I was looking for this comment. I noticed the same thing! I said to myself she has a subtle stank attitude and acts like she doesn't want to do this.
@thekisianganipodcast Yeah his vibe was off too.
Where can I get a fundi to do that sliding door in the washroom??
Do you have the blue prints?
Amooa, is there any way we reach the architect ? Or any contact with him ? , we are interested in building the same
Excellent. How can we reach Thor to design and build one for us.
very nice very nice
Just like to say well done on the project as a whole...
can you tell me the size and materials used to make this amazing house?
great video. what is the name of his construction company?
Hi, are the Drawing architectural constructions files for sale?? I would like to duplicate this project in Baja California, Mexico. Please advice on this. Thank You!!
Gorgeous design, but I’d expect this would cost over $100,000 to build in the US.
Nice house very well done, a little disturbing that it says couple built considering there is a sexual tension between the two video hosts as tall as Mount Everest! But other than that nicely done on the house too bad you had to chop down that tree that was so special. Trees grow back plant a couple more and you will be good.😊
I want one! Retiring soon … how about the land?
Karen is ranked among the top 10 luxury hotspots in the world. The cost of land there is very expensive. That cost of that house is a dot compared to the price of the land it sits on. Infact, it is quite common for actual houses alone to cost much less than the land. When you add the cost of land then the property prices get very high.
does the price tag include the furnishing
First here 🇬🇭😍
How much if someone wanted to buy an A house like that? Can I get some info?
Does your company build in the United States as well?
