Viral Zimmerman Penthouse owner opens up on unusual construction plan

Mrs. Annie Lumbasi, a Kenyan landlady whose peculiar construction idea went viral over the weekend, has opened up on the inspiration behind the architectural marvel while also encouraging builders to be creative and make absolute use of the small pieces of land they have.

[@KenyaNewsChannel]

She's truly innovative, confident and humble

[@Internationalcollege-zq7vf]

A real Kenyan. Kenyans are always creative but sadly are frustrated by the leaders.
