    Most real estate developers are Hargeisa based but obviously consist of diaspora trained architects (Mostly North America indeed aswell as a few from the Emirates). It would depend on the location, Hargeisa proper is kind of experiencing a bubble. I would wager this Villa would cost $450,000 US+

    This is what $90,000 gets you...a fuckin 1 bedroom:

    Interesting. How is that 1 bedroom? Looks like a pretty large house to me.

    That's a great deal for $450,000, that's literally a mansion.

    Most villas there, even the 1 bedroom ones have servant quarters

    The older houses were before their time, were unique, blended with environments or were innovative with material use. The latest have little real flair or style. They're built to impress for sure but they're nothing that hasn't come before or are clones of others work. We have new subdivisions being built that have no architectural flair, do not blend with the environment and add nothing but living quarters for humans. I make use of such work for income but would never live in such a place.

    Indeed, every single piece of Wright's homes were custom made. He had all the modular concete blocks handmade for each house; nothing was made from commercial materials, not even the stained glass, the bricks, or the wood. All one-time, artisanal productions. Each house was one of a kind and built to last for eternity. That's why each one has its own encyclopedia article... They're works of art.

    Today's houses are pretty much just arsenic-treated lumber skeletons with concrete-board panels and some shitty stucco.

    Lol... No way you can fill a pool that big in Somalia and keep it from evaporating. Nice CGI! I did google houses in Somaliland though, and saw this one:





    Which is really fucking cool. So there is definitely something interesting going on in East Africa.
