Well he is an 'architect'! Kanye West shows he really is a jack of all trades as he visits a timber yard to pick up supplies for his $11 million mansion with Kim Kardashian

He is known for his penchant for design and loves hanging around architects 'all the time', recently admitting that he is 'working with five'.
So Kanye West was really in his element when he visited a timber yard inside a construction company in Los Angeles earlier this week.
The rapper, whose $11 m Bel Air mansion with partner and mother of his daughter Kim Kardashian is currently under construction, was seen purveying several materials in the large outdoor area.

Dressed down in a pair of jeans, a white T-shirt and grey sneakers with yellow laces, the 36-year-old looked ready for business, armed with a laptop tucked under his arm.

The Black Skinhead star could have blended in with his fellow tradesmen if it wasn't for his thick gold chain around his neck and his grandiose arrival in a Lamborghini sports car.

Friends? Kanye, who has previously said he 'loves hanging around architects' was joined by two men during the outing

Kanye looked like a man on a mission as he strode into the yard, chatting on his cell phone.
Last week Kim and Kanye were seen visiting their new Bel Air home as construction continues to transform it into their dream abode.
They were spotted standing on the street surveying the property as they chatted to a man who appeared to be the project manager overseeing the renovation.

Clearly having active roles in planning the refit, Kim looked deep in conversation with the man as Kanye stood nearby, happy to let his girlfriend do the talking.
The pair were joined by a five-person entourage for the trip around the mansion, after arriving in their $750,000 Lamborghini Aventador.
Construction on the home had been delayed last month, pushing back the new family's move in date after Kim welcomed baby North West into the world on June 15.

The luxurious home - which Kim bought in July for $10,750,000, according to Trulia - has been been gutted, as the couple seek to put their own stamp on it.
The stunning Mediterranean-style mansion came complete with wrought-iron staircases, chandeliers and 'old world' fittings, which have already been ripped out.
Despite buying the house brand new, Kim is said to have ran into many problems with the electric, water and heating systems in the house and had to completely rewire the place.
The home sits in a private gated community in the exclusive California suburb of Bel Air, and occupies 10,000 square feet.

The pair had planned to add an extra 4,000 feet to complete their dream home, according to TMZ.
A source told the website the new home will be ‘an Italian-style villa, with a gym, movie theater, full hair and make-up salon, bowling alley, basketball court, indoor and outdoor pool.’

Not forgetting a nursery of course.
The stunning infinity pool is visible in aerial shots of the property, which also has a pool house and large grassy lawn.
The mansion also has a grand driveway and dramatic entrance, as well as plenty of windows to let in the light and a spacious garage.
The pair will join A-list neighbour Jennifer Aniston, Los Angeles Clippers basketball player Chris Paul, and founder of the Girls Gone Wild entertainment franchise Joe Francis as the famous names in the neighbourhood.
With his hands on approach to architecture, it seems that the new abode will feature a lot of Kanye's taste. 
The singer recently spoke of his love of design, and his desire to become an architect.
'I want to do product, I am a product person,' he said. 'Not just clothing but water bottle design, architecture.'
The star also revealed that he loves to 'hang around' architects.
In fact, he is currently 'working with five' on another one of his properties.
'The time spent in a bad apartment, I can't get that back. But the education I can get from working on it is priceless,' he said.
