When I decided to design my house, I knew I wanted it to be more than just a place to live. I wanted it to be a reflection of who I am, my roots, and the rich cultural heritage that has shaped me. For me, drums are not just musical instruments; they are symbols of life, connection, and tradition. They carry the rhythms of our ancestors and echo the stories of our people. So, when it came time to build my home, it felt only natural to incorporate drums into the very foundation of its design.
Drums have always held a special place in my heart. Growing up, I remember the sound of drums at family gatherings, celebrations, and even in moments of reflection. They were always there, guiding us, bringing us together, and reminding us of where we come from. To me, drums represent the heartbeat of our heritage, a constant reminder of the strength and resilience of my ancestors. So, I wanted my home to embody that same spirit—a place where the past and present come together in harmony.
The process of designing my house using drums was both challenging and deeply fulfilling. I worked closely with architects and artisans who understood the significance of what I wanted to achieve. Every drum used in the construction was carefully selected, each with its own unique history and story. The drums are not just decorative; they are integral to the structure of the house, supporting walls and framing spaces. Walking through my home, I feel connected to the rhythm of my heritage in a way that is both grounding and inspiring.
Living in a house designed with drums has brought me a profound sense of peace and belonging. Every day, I am reminded of the legacy I carry with me, and the importance of honoring that legacy in everything I do. My home is a sanctuary where the beats of the drums resonate with my soul, a place where I can celebrate my culture and share it with others. This journey has taught me that our heritage is not just something we inherit; it is something we live, breathe, and create anew every day.
