Early last year when I realized land was very cheap in Rural Kenya,
I did this tiny sketch at the back of a book I was reading ๐.
This is based on 1 acre. About 105m long by 42m.
The 3 eighth plots at the bottom are the living quarters and 1 to 6 are commercial.

Step 01. Vision.
Building is Sacrifice. Be driven by a Vision that is greater than a pile of stones
This can be to create a home for your children (we fight harder when fighting for others)
This can be to cut off that annoying Landlady. You run faster when running from Poverty

I did not start building until I saw a composition written by my son. In it was embedded an infectious Bigger Vision
It switched something in me and I woke up
Prior, I was OK building for others. And fighting that necessary monthly nonsense of Tenancy

Rationale:
The most common reasons people build Maisonettes are
1. To have less footprint on the ground.
2. To afford family members a common room upstairs
3. To fit the hype of a neighbourhood.
4. The aesthetic of Maisonettes is attractive.
5. To enjoy better views beyond.

The most important factor that affects the overall cost of a building is the Size.
Size is everything. From it are all costs resultant, from Consultancy Fees to Finishing Costs
One can fulfill optimum cost by reducing the most expensive part of a Maisonette : The Upper Floor
