Kwaku explained that he built the floating home out of necessity because of the limited space on the waterfront. That gave him the innovative idea to build a house on the Lake since the water body had taken up all the space. Kwaku took his interview hostess on a home tour, showing areas such as the living room, bedrooms and kitchen.
