This estate is currently used as an Airbnb Vacation spot so the individual units are not for sale. It costs $75 for a Night. Who else loves this Unique style of building homes?
@@TayoAinaFilms as a designer I love the exterior but they could use some help with the finishes on the inside. Combining different color finishings makes interior not look as polished as the exterior.
@Cecilia Spencer @Cecilia Spencer it's quite a long way from the beach though so that shouldn't have been been a problem......... I really like the idea but not so much their execution of it. I'll give them an " A " for the view. The units feel claustrophobic. There's no provision for transportation from he bottom of the hill to their property and vice versa, considering the steep road they created, that leads to the property (It really is quite unnerving using the 2 access roads. I considered walking 😅) The finishing on the inside looks tacky, cheap and uncoordinated which clashes with the lovely exterior. No greenery whatsoever on the outside, is also a huge disappointment for me.
I live in one with two 60’ and two 20’ in Thailand , I’ve added on three extension with galvanized steel. We also designed it with a 1.5 mtr bridge between the two 60’ making the house much wider. We also used refrigeration containers. I live in one no problem and it’s brilliant.
I used to be a super fan of container homes and even about to have one constructed for me, considering cost of building in Nigeria until I came across a video here on RUclips that made clear the massive disadvantages of living in a container home as a permanent residential building... since then I lost my taste for it. Yet,this idea of it used as an Airbnb home is really cool too. Love it!❤
Belinda Carr did “7 reasons why shipping container homes are a SCAM” And Slater Young did “The truth about shipping Container homes” Afraid I’m not on a computer so I can’t link them
The view alone from the containers is worth $10K! And that price is excellent. Shipping container homes, an tiny homes are a huge market in the US 🇺🇸, and are very successful. These are worth purchasing, and leasing them.
I really have to commend Ghanaians and the country of Ghana as a whole, for all the progress and innovation especially in the sector of tourism. Kudos to you all. As a fellow Nigerian, it truly pains me from the bottom of my heart to see the huge loss in revenue and development opportunity that Nigeria is missing out on when it come to tourism. As beautiful Nigeria is and with all its tourism potentials, Nigeria is one place no foreigner wants to visit just to explore or for vacation. Even those in diaspora now are starting to wash their hands off Nigeria lately, and most would only visit if they have very strong family ties there. There is sadly a zero interest in business investment opportunity in Nigeria from those in diaspora, just because of all the insecurity and uncertainty going on in Nigeria. Its really such a shame...
Don't give up on Nigeria... we the People not the politicians can change that. I'm not Nigerian but im an African, and I do plan to visit Nigeria in the near future and love to invest there as well!! Lets educate our locals by having a conversation, especially the youth. ITS our duty to openly discuss the uncomfortable discussions. Nigerians are very intelligent, one of the most hard working Africans I know, lets out our energy to work together. Unfortunately the president is a proxy for the West. We cannot let Nigeria fail. This is what the West wants to happen. Lets not tribes and religion devide us, remember the colonizers implanted this from the beginning to break us apart for their own benefit. Lets free our mindset and work with each Afrikans, even though its not easy. Nothing good comes easy.
I've been designing homes like this since 2010 here in the US and I was wanting to do projects for Africa but I was talked out of it that they won't understand the concept back then. It's good to see. I have so many designs and plans that were never built.So if there is developer a that needs them leave me a message.
This is one of the most beautiful container homes have ever seen and Amazing it is in Ghana. Just one Problem Pancake two of them together or even three for Luxury Version lol the skinny ones for guest and House keepers or inlaws 😆 Also they can add a lighted water 💦 fountain outside so the sound make you forget your environment and add small tropical palm trees 🌴🌴🌴🌴 and outdoor Solar heated Swimming pool. The Road must be fixed so no accident and make it a gentle Curve uphill so people won't be scared 😁 About the inside Add more Mirrors to double the space illusion.
Even though they are narrow,the homes look slick and well designed.Would like to see more spacious ones coz its such a great idea.The view is stunning,thanks for posting brother Tayo.
Wow this is amazing. I love this design. It saves space and really cuts down on unnecessary expenses. The irony however is that you may end up spending more on this than a regular home. Regardless, I just love this for a vacation home
I actually wrote my architecture thesis on the adaptive reuse of shipping containers in Lagos instead of them becoming an eyesore. It was more of a master plan but did incorporate a community center made with shipping containers and provided space for new construction with similar materials. I lived in a container hotel in Mexico for 3 months and it was great!
This project is great but they should ave looked into more case studies for layout for furnishing shipping containers. The room layouts do not seem quite efficient.
@@UrennaE_Art That's because they're not efficient. A container is usually 8' wide, by 8.5' tall (9.5' for the ones known as a "high cube"), and the length varying from 10'-45'. The width part is the biggest issue though, since it's the shortest and the only one that's constant between all sized containers. The fact that it's constant means that any uniformity required to cut down on fabrication costs and complexity will be carried over into ALL construction of these dwellings. So even if somebody comes up with a design that utilizes a different sized container (as long as it's made to be 2 story), they're still going to use the same inefficient layout for the staircase. They may slide it more towards the front or the back of the container, but regardless it's still going to result in the mistake of having a remarkable amount of dead space both below and above the staircase, because that's how people will be used to constructing them. Kinda like how most cars are designed now: the technology has come a long way, but the same basic layout of engine at the front, 2-4 doors on the sides, seats all facing the same way - all this remains regardless of who the manufacturer is. There may be the occasional one-off design that changes things up a bit, but even the designers aren't going to look much into changing this, but that's the standard of how everybody does it, so that's what they're used.
I have a two 20 feet containers that I bought 8 years ago in Lagos, to design my telecoms offices. I came up with the idea, when I discovered that the landlords keep increasing the rents, because telecoms businesses are high foot traffic businesses and they think you are making all the money in their properties...Ever since i came up with that idea, I have saved a lot and expanded...But sadly, containers in Nigeria are now super expensive and 1 unit of 20ft container now cost about *N1, 200, 000* and a fairly used, with several needs of repairs can go for as high as *N450, 000.* I thank God I still have my two 20ft containers...They are durable but you need constant Air-conditioning and also a heat extractor and good fans, in case the electricity is cut. Nice video.
Its not its just dumb ask any good architect out there and he would say why its BS to use it. I always see some people giving container home as the concept in many competitions and innovation in architectural conventions and is always shot down by judges and many other experts in the field. There are lot of cons agreed there are pros too but on the long term its bad. Its infact cheaper to have a wood house than a container one.
I can easily see modular housing innovation exploding in the near future across the world. Demand for housing materials is going to lead to huge recycling initiatives, like container homes, that will lead to cheaper housing for everyone.
Wait wait wait what...I'm confused now what is a walk in closet now??? But either then that new knowledge. I just love the whole architecture or ideas of most container homes... great Video you two 😍
I love this. Someday get rid of my house and go minimalist and live in one of these. Imagine waking up to a view like this every morning. Better yet, the view in the evenings
I lived in on which was a two bed and trust I loved it so much. Already done my research on as I would love to replicate the one I live on with a bit more ideas execute somewhere in lekki I have a few lands
Looks absolutely good. I love the decor choice. The sustainability around reusable materials will help the environment. The few is dope indeed. I’ve always loved the idea of tiny homes. The balcony is good too. Thanks for sharing Tayo. Nigeria is beautiful too 😅
These are beautiful im impressed by the duplex and traditional stairway. The designers i hope consider murphy beds and fillted motorized retractable curtains making the interior even more appealing with lighter color interior choices Add 12 inch x 20inch rectangular windows 1 or 3 in a row to the darker enclosed areas of any floor at the higher corner walls withoit effecting container strength.
@2:36 "Stove" - electric stove! Because another stove first came to Tayo's mind 😉 If you know, you know▪︎Thanks for this Tayo & Vanessa. I love well finished container houses.

@@TheRoxyB very true. The interior doesn't look planned or rather poorly planned, if at all.
@@TheRoxyB Interesting, what would you have added or took away from the interior design?
Theses types of houses should be built for low income people in Nigeria, it can help people living on road or better still create shelter for them
Should be built for low income in every country. There's poor people everywhere.
By who? With what?
@@kakaimar1 by you!! Did you watch the video??
@@littleripper312 Yeah. People in San Francisco, California could use these houses. Homelessness is through the roof!
In the U.K. also.

Considering it’s “at the beach” Id have built the showers as exterior showers on the ground level, with wood enclosures.
That will have been a Nice Idea Especially for Aesthetics!
It's not necessarily "at the beach " though.
It's kinda far away from the beach tho, it just has a view of the beach
This is very innovative, this can definitely be used as a model to build affordable housing with quality as well.
Wow. I'm impressed. I like how we're gradually embracing the container homes. In the next few years its gonna be a good alternative for everyone
When will my folks start putting an emphasis on roads? I'm pretty sure buyers would want a safe and comfortable way to get to their homes.
This is so innovative and beautiful. I like the space management and the fact that it's fenced. It's like a mini estate.
Exactly.
Tayo is an expert with these kind of videos....good job guys
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
