I love the creativity behind the construction of this house 👍

[@Afrikaislife]

This should be the standard, it's easy to do. Added a ratio of 4 to 1 you can add cement for reinforcement. The walls are up to 18 inches thick which eliminates the need for air conditioners. They are free from termites, earthquake and fire proof.

[@mortgagejeanie]

and can last 1000 years.

[@groforit]

We need to start doing this in the Caribbean.

[@ritasafari4723]

Amazing architectural vibes

[@WendyWatta]

Agreed.

[@musicmikeish]

I totally love this place ! Thanks for sharing jaber.

[@mallafets]

Wow! Beautiful place (but not quite as beautiful as the presenter ))), the sky must be amazing at night there. I will try squeeze a visit in on my next visit to coast once this travel lock down ends.

[@mwashamsa]

So beautiful

[@FrameAmbitiontv]

Another one on the list! Cool that it's not far from town as well :)

[@WendyWatta]

Oh you must check it out! And it's very close to the town. Just some five minutes away

[@taluj2298]

Lol Sagalla hills my shags! I love the rammed earth. Been thinking about using this method of building an eco friendly off grid home .

[@cel4lyf]

No windows? I wouldn't sleep there, no way. After watching that movie of Tsavo man eaters I just can't 😅 the house is beautiful though. Love it.

[@kaderathebeekeeper22m3]

It does have windows

[@cel4lyf]

@@kaderathebeekeeper22m3 it doesn't, watch again, it's just a curtain. The lady said the house doesn't have windows.

[@heraldloshi1864]

😂😂😂

[@preciousjewel750]

I have personally stayed and work their and it was a beautiful experience. Definitely going back

[@johnmutua6156]

Am new to this ,Welcoming subs,Nice place

[@WendyWatta]

Karibu!

[@WordsPictures997]

Chris's studio is sooo neat 😳.. QUESTION, is the art residency something one would need to pay for? If yes, how much?

[@chrisclause6036]

Yes there would be a minimal fee - but Chris is more interested to get young Kenyans out into these 'wild' places to experience and draw directly from nature. Come and draw a real live elephant!! Karibu sana.

[@muthonikanyotu4541]

Aish please take me on your next # first comment

[@Vernica-ie6hy]

Hello. This look good. Do you have the house builder's contact information? Thank you.

[@Lousy_Bastard]

Laying in the hammock smoking a few fat ones with that scenery and heat, that's the life.

[@WordsPictures997]

Love the real advice " it's challenging ... because you don't just have to be an artist but you have to be a business person ... but these days with Instagram you can sell from your home "

[@theharryexperience_]

I love this comment, when we begin to put a business approach to what ever we have in our hands we begin to conquer poverty.

[@WendyWatta]

Exactly!

[@donaldoyler2092]

How do they keep the walls from washing away with the rain. Even the driest places still get rain. I like the idea of the rammed earth house.

[@mortgagejeanie]

Water does not affect it, that is the beauty of it.

[@Risingmoon8]

The roof and generous overhang of it help to protect it from the rains.
The house has a good hat and good boots to protect it from the elements.

[@CeEe_AaAa]

I need the architect in my life please. Any contact with an earth architecture in kenya, please be precise, nyanyuki

[@bahatipatrick212]

Damn which contractor did this project for them?

[@chrisclause6036]

Designed and built by Chris using local unskilled labour

[@juniourx2203]

Great doing my own in the next 2 months

[@soulofsri]

Beautiful home Your voice also sweet need to improve the landscapes infront of your house....all the best

[@Khotsa]

Brother fro India, this is inside a game park. To be sustainable you gotta respect animal country! Stay blessed! Love India.

[@TheIssa2]

Who was your the architect and or builder?

[@preciousjewel750]

A river passes by the property so in the hot afternoon you can go swim or sit in the river

[@WendyWatta]

We actually did this!

[@ivorobotnikt6090]

This is what I want to see, afrikatus enjoying life in afrika, as it should be, it is our land, our home, for us and only for us. Indigenous americans (not white people)are the only ones who should be allowed to visit, and our afrikatu cousins in asia

[@AndrewPetersGospel]

I own a 1000sm land at the top of a hill in Abuja Nigeria and would love to build something like this for musicians
