Face lift for a building containing 5-Units (2 bedroom each)
Address : Behind Movida Lounge, PHASE II, SITE II, KUBWA.
Below are improvement ideas, to help enhance the exterior of the building.

(2) Wall edge & Veneer cladding :
These edge bricks will enhance the easthetics of the building.
Below it is another example of faux stone cladding, similar to (1) above.

I prefer German, Turkish, or Nigerian. You may choose Chinese if you are sure the locks will work ok.

(5) Re-Painting:
Re-paint the building.
Keep it green. Or change to one of the following colors...
Blue + White:
Beige color:
(6) Roof
Change the roof fascias (facing board) for a more modern look.
No need to change the roofing sheet, just the fascias.
If this option is too expensive, just paint the fascias with white glossy paint.
Example 1:
Example 2:
(7) Gate:
Here are upgrades I think the gate area needs. I have labelled them 1, 2, 3, 4.
1 & 2 : install solar lamps on the two gate pilar posts.

Here are some example solar lamps for the gate pillar...
3 & 4 : Look at the picture of the gate above to see labels 3, 4.
I would like the fence covered with trees, or with wall plants. See examples below.
Wall trees
Wall Plants
Another option for the fence wall (if not too expensive) is to cover it with faux stone cladding, as shown below.
Or plants...
Flowers or Grass:
The front of the building would look better with grass or flowers.
The suggested changes are just my ideas.
As I said before, please suggest other ideas you may have for improving the aesthetics of the building.
