Let me put your mind at rest, my aim is to 1st build modern monuments and creative designs so that the people of Zimbabwe can enjoy such structures with a variety of applications (spiritual, social, tourism, private)
Then train a few whilst doing so and hopefully inspire them
I know I keep banging on about it BUT
All I need is the opportunity to show what is possible.
The Houses of Stones deserves a new Era of Greatness
I can’t do it alone & I won’t stop until it happens

My dream is a to have a plot of land where we teach them and showcase their talents with one off creative builds
I need funding and the opportunity to deliver
(Which I guarantee I will)

One thing I’ve learnt from my short time here is this….
You leave them alone & they leave you alone 🙏
On multiple occasions I’ve been told NOT to engage with “Haters” on social media and to “Just ignore them”
But I like to take a different approach and politely engage with the ones who are merely misinformed and open up a channel of communication so we may better understand

This design isn’t just a “Pretty Drawing ” ✍️ on paper
It incorporates sacred geometry along with a few carefully thought out hidden numerical messages for future generations to work out 🤫
I genuinely believe this can become a “Modern Monument” worthy of the “Houses of Stone”

Last night I designed something so Big I’m sure no one will ever commission it
(But Im drawing it anyway)
Big enough to fit the main tower of Great Zimbabwe inside the outer dome.

I’m new to Zim but specialise in ancient style stone masonry/structures
Any advice on potential connections in the industry as I’d love to bring back new builds with the traditional styles as part of a resurgence of Zim heritage

Designs are ready to go ✍️👍🏼
Who’s got the Minerals to commission one?

It’s a long story 😉
Basically I’m now in Harare trying to get designs commissioned so I can train youngsters in an academy to build the most beautiful modern monuments with multiple applications so that the people of Zimbabwe can interact with them and enjoy whilst encouraging
