He even showed the building plan that he used in the video posted on TikTok. Every angle of the house had pillars to withstand the weight of the building's parapet.

The man's house employed the trending tall roof, which many believe lasts longer because of its slope.

Speaking to a construction expert, Gbenga Muritala, about the building, he said using pillars at the edge of every house could either speak about what the client wants or structure of the house. He said:

"When you know you will be using parapets for your roofing, having pillars at every angle is a must. Sometimes, clients trust so much in it for added strength to the building even when they are not always needed. The hight of a house foundation could also determine if a house will have pillars."
