Hi Amoaa, just a quick suggestion. In my humble opinion, I think you should show more of the actual house (both interior and exterior) even as the interview is going on........Don't let the interview scenes take over a larger portion of the video because, in as much as people want to know the details of what went into the house, they also want to view the actual house with all the beauty it has to offer (that's even the main reason why people click on the video). Preferably, you can make most of the interview part a voice-over that plays while the actual house is shown in detail. That'll keep people from getting bored because take this video, for instance, the exterior of the building was only shown in its entirety getting to the later part of the video while the rest was dedicated almost solely to the interview. We only need to "hear" the interview, however, we do have to "see" the house at different angles. Just my humble opinion. Thanks.
I think that is what was done here. The interview and tour are fused so everything that was talked about was shown in detail. There were lots of points where the interview was a voice over for the house tour. I think that's why the timestamps are helpful if a particular part ’bores’ you, you can skip to what you want to see. The exterior was shown in the outdoor time stamp so if that is what you are looking for you can skip to it. The interview is helpful especially to people interested in details and we did ’see’ the house.
Hello beautiful people! I know this video is long but there is so much great information in here that Akosua shared with us. We really struggled to cut this down from the original 2-hour tour. I have included detailed timestamps to make it easier to navigate through this video. Next week we will continue the conversation with Akosua and discuss price points, working with Orthner and Orthner and their affordable housing project. Can you guess how old this property is???
As someone who works in the “green” construction industry in the US I’m so excited to see these things really being taken seriously and put into action in Ghana! I am planning to build a passive home in Ghana and can’t wait! Although rip my budget
thank you bunches for your content! im african american in USA and am so excited to move/build/thrive in Ghana and your videos help more than you know by showing me more options in your beautiful country
Diaspora's, did you hear, we need construction goods in Afrika? Come home and start your business. But only for those who are adaptable and willing to blend in with the environment.
With so much wood in this building, how is this strong enough to withstand wear and tear and is maintenance very minimal??????? Over how many estimated years will this building last??????
Girl, You are doing so amazing with these contents of yours. Your effort is worth every success ahead of you. I love your contents so much. Your choice of projects and properties you shoot are off the roof. More strength to your elbow
Amoaa, with my hectic schedule I don't usually have the time to watch long videos. The title caught my attention because our company also does sustainable development, so I was just going to watch a few minutes. However, I was so thoroughly impressed with the details of this building that I found myself unable to stop watching and I ended up watching the entire video. 😀 Kudos to Orthner and Orthner Associates and kudos to you for presenting such awesome content.
That’s awesome! Your company works in sust. Development in Ghana as well? Or somewhere else? I’d love to know the name (just for personal reasons of knowing what’s going on). It makes me SO excited to see Ghanaians picking up this industry!
Having studied the built environment, This has to be one of THE best designed house in Ghana. The other property developers need to take note. All the spaces were considered. Just stunning! Can't fault the design at all. ❤❤❤
Good to see more and more sustainable architecture using all the opportunities and advantages we have with our tropical climes. You did a great job with the video too👌🏾 - earned yourself a sub. Greetings from Lagos.
So impressive! I was happy to hear Samartex in Samreboi was involved because I have very fond memories of visiting there a number of years ago. I really believe they have the finest woodworking anywhere and that is coupled with great training programs. It's a beautiful build and a great tour. Oh, and YOUR production quality is really on point. Great camera work and post-editing. I'll keep watching! Thank you!
Why does everyone quote in dollars? We are in Ghana, quote cedis. Its like most of these developers want to exclude native Ghanaians from the equation. We need to be looking at affordable housing for Ghanaians. I notice that many developers are focused on building for foreigners. Government needs to do something about it.
That rammed earth wall is so beautiful 😍 Kinda wished their was a continuation of that wall through to the security area.. Very beautiful building and furnishings.👏
Such an amazing design thanks for showcasing the this property. My only suggestion please keep the camera on the section been talked about. It appears the camera sits on you and the conversation more than the location of the conversation. Thanks for sharing❤️
Wow 🤩…. I love the content of this video… it’s got lots of info to take on board. Pls I will like to find out from Akosua if you already have a concrete built house but yet to complete it, can the help with the timber design finishing for me instead of the normal finishing materials like floor tiles etc….
As a new subscriber here, i'm hooked & i can't look back! i'm just Wowed, from start to finish! Such amazing properties abound & such amazing & very beautiful, modern & practical architecture. Very tasteful, stylish & elegant builds. I'm so thrilled, for all my beautiful brothers & sisters who are really making things happen for themselves & living their dream!! Just so wonderful to see this. Thank you for sharing & my best wishes to all your viewers! Peace🙌🙏
We are building a house in Accra. Are they talking about compressed earth blocks (CEB)? Our next step is to build a garden wall and a storage shed. Can we do that with CEBs? Where do I get these in Accra? Any recommendations? I noticed that concrete bricks are still common in Ghana even for simple constructions.
Shalom , how long did it take to construct! Remember all civilization came out of africa 1st, all outsiders copied the African concept! Germany , Austria n etc! Colonization created WS n superiority! Most homes in USA constructed from wood sistha!
Nice build. Brings back memories. Question, why is the floor called Parquet flooring. Because as a builder for many years. That what we call parquet floor. The wood, oh man I love the craftsmanship. What wool is the, is it stained or all treated
This episode is very professionally done. Your knowledge of building is outstanding. Can you link me to the wood entry door fabricator for my project in Ghana.
I'm so impressed! 😀Unlike some of the Ghanaian residential development tour-videos we see where the emphasis is more on high-rise apartments, and other unsustainable trends, this actually me feel PROUD of this design for Ghana. This totally incorporates all the natural building tips for eco-friendly construction that my sister and I used to read about (in homeschool). From the rammed earth materials, to the building's angle to the Sun. The sheer amount of green is relief to the eyes. 36:29 is so excellent -- even the garage looks inviting. Way to go, Ghana! 🇬🇭🇬🇭 Blessings from a Jamaican family.
@@ackahkofiefrancis4289 Thx for asking -- No, wih nuh reach yet, but wih a-goh deh-deh (Jamaican Creole for: No, we haven't reached yet, but we are going to be there). My family and I have taught ourselves a little Twi along our ancestral research journey. :) PLUS, our DNA results confirmed our Ghanaian heritage. How about you? Have you met Jamaicans in Ghana, or been to Jamaica?
HI please this is an amazing place and they have to transfer the knowledge to Ghanaians so that the skills will remain in Ghana west Africa and Africa as a whole thanks
Welcoming, I love wood with concerns but sense learning as sister said that there are different types of wood/timber. Longevity care of the wood. Determines the life of it. Excellent tour and guide. Sister ladies
Fantastic video. Gave me so many ideas for finishing a house. How much does the wooden floor cost? And how does it compare with tiles for a living area?
Thank you, Marvin and that's great. Last time I checked, it was GHS80 to GHS115 per sqm for the wooden floor and tiles cost under GHS50 per sqm and go up depending on the type, size, colour, thickness etc. so it really depends on your preference
I've always said, that my African brothers & sisters have the best taste & are so very classy!! Unbelievable really! I just love watching all these videos & seeing the many awesome properties & the incredible detail abound. IMPO, Africa is still way too underrated, so too, it's incredible builds & amazing & stunning architecture abound. God bless Africa 🙏

4 years..
It maybe long in terms of videos on UA-cam, but this is so interesting and beautiful to look at.
Can't wait for next week for part II
I just discovered your channel! i am enjoying your content and detailed interviews :) Thank You and Keep Building! :)

Awesome and educational vid. Well done both.
I like plants. Peaceful and the breeze
That kitchen wow
I enjoyed the tour
Thank you I enjoyed.

Larg bed room the bathroom s gorgeous
The camera man should focus on details discussed rather than the talker we have miss a lot of content but keep it up love from 🇹🇿
An artist like myself. Ahh
With so much wood in this building, how is this strong enough to withstand wear and tear and is maintenance very minimal??????? Over how many estimated years will this building last??????
From the looks of it the wood would have to be regularly treated to keep it safe against weathering long term.
😊

This is a beautiful property, very well constructed professional architectural design. I love the wood designs. Thank you so much for sharing
The creative abstract iron art work at the stairs is also functional. Truth I'm use to railing on both sides.
I love the artwork in the entrance way. Do you have information on the artist?

Thank you Amoaa. This is lovely. I hope many people will be convinced that rammed earth and timber are sustainable, affordable, and luxurious too.

do not do this if you do not have enough money because it needs periodic maintenance as compared to our normal ways of building
