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 📚.

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.

Teams: A Manifesto by @yaneerbaryam

The increasing complexity of society means professional and personal endeavors will be done in Teams.

While heroic fiction prescribes Individual Striving, we need to learn that being a member of a Team is Heroic.

Even Singapore begun with deliberate concepts in 1971

In Geylang Serai, Lee re-drew the road system to turn one large ghetto into 9 small pockets.

The only reason slums continue to exist is because it takes people to create one.

Can they be prevented? Yes. Plan against them. ImageImageImage
In summary.

1. Friendship
2. Planning
3. Sacrifice & Savings/Loan
4. Phased Construction
5. Living & Revenues.
6. Multiply and Expand to New Locations.
7. Freedom.

Instead of building one large McMansion in Nairobi, #GoRural

🧵🪡 Thread on A New Approach to Building:

🏠 The way most people build homes or houses as an asset class is backwards and fundamentally limiting to human potential.

I've built 3 houses, but it was only after the 3rd that I realized the sequence was wrong. Here’s what I’ve learned.

2/ A Serious Human Should Begin with Production Houses.

What do I mean by production houses?

There are two types of houses:

a) Production Houses: These are structures designed primarily to generate resources, income, or provide long-term sustainability. They focus on enabling productivity and self-sufficiency.

b) Consumption Houses: These are structures designed primarily for living and consumption. They focus on comfort, amenities, and accommodating daily life needs without necessarily generating resources or income. They are also used to multiply other consumers.
3. There are two main features of what i call Production Houses:

a). Houses that Aid in Multiplying Produce: These could be spaces for generating ideas, raising fowl or animals, or cultivating mushrooms and other tradeable commodities like books and bicycles. They help in defraying the cost of living by generating income or resources.

b). Houses that Help in Postponement of Consumption: Examples include granaries, seed banks, and similar structures. They store resources, helping in managing and delaying consumption, which can lead to better financial management and sustainability.

There are other differences but i will summarize those at the end in a Table.

How to plan 5 Acres for self-sufficiency.

1/10 🏡 On a 5-acre plot, you could potentially support a family of ten, with surplus to sell!

Let’s look at a potential allocation & its yield. Here’s how we’d divide the land:

2/10 🏠 1 acre would be for the house, farm buildings, a kitchen garden, and an orchard. We could yield various vegetables, fruits, and some honey 🍯 from this plot.

Jon Jendai has a very interesting experiment on Maximizing the Utility of Small Farms 🥕🥦🍆🥗… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
3/10 🌱 1.5 acres would be pasture for grazing cows 🐄, sheep 🐑, geese 🦆, and chickens 🐔.

Milk, eggs, wool, and occasional meat would be the yield from this plot.

In Kenya, Family Law and how it is practiced to disenfranchise men is more dangerous than the Finance Bill.

We need to disband Family Law as currently practiced in order to build a more healthier society 50 years from now.

There is no use in educating boys who will in their turn, when they marry, become treated like their fathers.

Or girls, who in their turn, when married, will… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Today I am glad I helped 2 friends dodge a bullet.

In short, we will redesign a house they had to a reasonable size.

Initially,the Master Bedroom was 10 metres long. If you are not careful, you can be made to carry burdens you cannot afford for 15 years straight

#MjengoMaths
Look. You don't need a 350 square metres house as your First Build.

Even 250 Square Metres is too generous.

What else can you do with extra Kes. 5 million?

1. Use a house as a ladder to your Financial Goals.
2. Solve for what you need.

You don't prove anything by stressing.
I wish I could catalogue all the major estates in Nairobi and indicate the overall floor areas

They will all cluster between 70 square metres and 150 square m

In theory, it doesn't sound like this. In practice, one can live just a good life in 100 square metres.

See Japan.

At 27 Square Metres, this house is 7.4 times smaller in footprint than the size of a typical house of a middle class family in Kenya

Can be built in 1 week

The size of the family has significantly reduced, but we are still building bigger houses

Q. Is it time to #ThinkSmall? ImageImageImage
Once you lock down the Spirit of a Place, the size doesn't matter.

Can you enjoy borrowed views?
Are all bodily functions met?
Does every user have a space to be themselves? (Bed, Shower, Sit)

The rest is fashion and politics.

"This house tries to take charge of these questions, not as an absolute answer, but as a housing exercise that is willing to face the various and constant frictions between spaces, inhabitants and objects."
