Relax all year round in a home that embraces nature. A home that keeps you cool in dry season, warm in wet season and everything you want in between.
A home that blends indoor and outdoor living, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds. A home that appreciate the natural environment in an enclosed cave. And best of all, a home that's built on answers, not questions.
At African Housing in Ayi-Mensah in the Eastern Region, Mr. Kofi Asante-Okyere said they have combined eco-friendly and architectural designs to create the 'green' home.
Situated just across the Peduase Lounge, Mr. Kofi Asante-Okyere says although new technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating greener structures; the common objective is that green buildings appreciate the use of environment for human health.
He told Property Express that if human fails to appreciate natural phenomenon in providing shelter, very soon prosperity will judge us.
Mr. Kofi Asante-Okyere who have been in business for more than 20 years lamented that though Ghanaians spent more time outside their homes, they pay more attention to interior designs while ignoring the environment they live.
He express his displeasure in the continuous use of land reserved as green belts been develop for housing and other infrastructure.
Mr. Kofi Asante-Okyere whose properties include more than 20 housing clusters on the mountain recommended that eco-housing reduces waste, pollution and environmental degradation.
According to him, the housing clusters do not include gutters since the rains steep flows on the mountains and with the use of eco-system, constructing gutters will not be necessary.
Asked how waste is degenerated, the reserved estate developer said all waste goes back to the ground and recycled.
He told Property Express, that prospective home owners usually develop their dream home plan and they build the houses for them using their eco-friendly materials.
Already, the African Housing in Ayi-Mensah can boost of botanical gardens and eco-friendly security.
Commenting on the challenges in the Real Estate Industry, Mr. Kofi Asante-Okyere pointed out that government should leave the construction of facilities in the hands of the individuals.
He said if government continuous involving in construction, the country will see less development because government might not be able to complete project and the next government may refuse to fund the project.
Mr. Kofi Asante-Okyere lamented government use of foreign Estate Developers at the expense of the locally capable ones in the country. He said Ghanaians are the only people that can build the country because they know the problems best.
