I loved watching this video. Absolutely beautiful. I have an idea about starting my own community in Haiti, and this video pointed me in the right direction. Thank you ❤
OMG! is it possible to get the layout for that house? Out of al the hundreds of shipping container home images I've looked at, this house has the best use of shipping container space I've seen. Most shipping container homes are do open floor plan, so they are cavernous or they make them too tiny (think of Goldie Locks and the Three Bears). This layout would be perfect for me. I love the way it's laid out.
I love the video, and I agree the floor plan looks just right. I have seen the container homes that look like a cramped "Toy House", or a small "Warehouse", because of the layout. I think they got it right on this one. Also Haiti is beautiful.
There are several factors in creating an amazing design. One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Rohon Home Build (check it out on google) without a doubt the no.1 course that I have ever seen. look at this incredible resource.
After spending a year researching and learning everything I could find on how to build a shipping container home, I've decided to build a strawlight clay and cob home instead. It's cheaper, cost effective and I can have the 12' ceilings that I want.
Hey May, thanks so much for your question. We could see in the future living back in the States for a season. We will go back for a visit around twice a year to connect with supporters, share about our creative projects, and more. But, our hearts are overseas. First here in Haiti then we plan to live in Africa. Hope this helps!
Luke & Semone That is good that you have each other. Nothing like supporting each other in your endeavor. I have to look at your story time........I just noticed it. Love your guys!
Hi Luc and Simone! I like the Reggie's shipping container house you show in this program. I would like to know how much it cost to be built and would you be so kind to give more info about your construction project? Thanks!
This is great info. We have a special spot in our hearts for Haiti. We have been to NW Haiti many times on mission. Where in Haiti is this home located?
You all were taping and did NOT have one nice word to say about that AWESOME house!!! What's up with that??? Was there a little jealousy involved? Please let us know. That guy should be architect of the year in Haiti and ALL over the world.
Hey Jean! Thank you so much for your question. We appreciate you. We moved to Haiti out of our relationships with Jesus Christ. It was not a choice we made lightly but are excited to empower and encourage Haitians in many ways. We researched, prayed and visited 2 times before moving here last summer. It was 2 years from the time we first wanted to come before we actually moved.
I applaud you guys giving up ur piece of the "American dream" 4 a cause your hearts are vested in. what church yall went 2 in da states? Is ur church supporting u guys? And how r u empowering the people?
Thank you Jean for your comment and encouragement! In the States we were a part of a network of home churches called House of Faith. They sent us out with prayer and a one-time money gift. We have a number of friends, family and others we know that give through our non-profit, Home for the Nations. Some are faithful monthly supporters. Our other stream of income is through Luke's online business, One Nine Pro, and as a freelance designer with a company called Social Vention. We love the arts and see creativity as a part of our ministry in Haiti. We are currently empowering the people through language learning, building relationships with the children in an orphanage currently developing a sponsorship program, and working with women through Bible Studies, women's aerobics, and women's/ girls conferences. Our vision for the future is pouring into communities, discipleship, building homes, job creation and more. You can learn more about our vision here: www.lukeandsemone.com/haiti/ Hope this helps :)
thats aweseme. i never heard of that house church organization. God willing Ill like to start a christian school targeting the restaveks. so let me ask, when u guys have kids, how do feel about raising and educating them in haiti vs the states?
Thanks for your comment Jean! That's great that you have a heart for starting a Christian School targeting restaveks. There is a great need in ministering to the children here as you know. Education is so important. When we have children we have talked about schooling them at home/ having teachers to work with them. But, you never know as things can change. Thanks again for your question. God bless!
nice but for affordable housing you mean that of which affordable for those who can afford running water in the house. majority of the Haitian population can't afford that
These people stay far away from giving Reggie's contact information and the cost. So why show his work if you won't help him with customers just SMD.I guess it's the Christian way AMEN 🙏 only answer the questions they like 👍 and pick.
Great Job Reggie you are definitely good at what you do...to bad your not in the USA definitely like the way you work, keep up the good work.
Mogul...
Wow I’m loving it.. that’s a luxury home 🏠 I am very impressed wow
lovely! lately I have been obsessing over living in a modern Loft. This is the best of both worlds and a whole lot cheaper than conventional homes.
it's very nice that's something I have in mind to do in haiti and after watching your video you reinforce my idea.
Hi Pierre! Thanks for the feedback on the video. We are glad you're inspired to move forward with your work in Haiti :)

I was just thinking exactly the same. I've spent days looking at big, small, 40 feet, 20 feet and this one best fits what I want to do.

Amazing. This man has a great eye for design and major skill. How long did it take him to build?

This is great info. We have a special spot in our hearts for Haiti. We have been to NW Haiti many times on mission. Where in Haiti is this home located?

Hello I just wanted to know where did you purchase your shipping containers ..if you can direct me to seller
How many containers did he use.
You guys are super cute.
Are you still in Haiti?
No left Haiti in 2016. We now live in Charleston SC but still support work in Haiti.
Ok. I am just trying to connect with as many people as possible!
Moving there soon to help with
some startup companies!
Thanks!
i saw you in green room at ibolele hotel isnt it ?
Are you sure it was us? I don't think we've been to that hotel.
nice
Thanks Beverly!
How much was this?
How much would it
How much do servants make in Haiti?
Unfortunately, not very much. I believe the minimum wage right now for a housekeeper is 175HTG per day, but it will very per household.
Why are they in Haiti?
You all were taping and did NOT have one nice word to say about that AWESOME house!!! What's up with that??? Was there a little jealousy involved? Please let us know. That guy should be architect of the year in Haiti and ALL over the world.
my thoughts as well...hmmmm. either way his work speaks for itself...
why yall moved to haiti?

good luck with that
nice but for affordable housing you mean that of which affordable for those who can afford running water in the house. majority of the Haitian population can't afford that
True. This is just an existing container home in Haiti, but not necessarily the one we would build.
These people stay far away from giving Reggie's contact information and the cost. So why show his work if you won't help him with customers just SMD.I guess it's the Christian way AMEN 🙏 only answer the questions they like 👍 and pick.
Servant? They can afford a servant?
Lee Plays Servants are similar to house keeper. If you can afford to hire someone to clean, why not.
They is read in a condescending way. Not cool
I’m From Haiti and I hate that word with a passion
