Inside the Ultra-Modern Shipping Container Homes of Ghana! 

The thought of living in a container conjures no image of luxury, in my opinion

Me!

It's innovative, creative and cool!

I do.

@@user2024-o4z Perception is everything

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.

You are very correct!

@@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.

@@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?

You need to build your own oh so that we can buy from you! 😬

We love him too Keep inspiring us small RU-vidrs Peace and love

Wode & Tayo - the dynamic duo 🙂.

@@TayoAinaFilms Representing Africa in a beautiful way 🎇🎇🎇💯

Wode!!! What its?

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

Yes, This is true

A lot more are now more keen to leave the country as well

☹️☹️☹️☹️ You are very correct and it’s really Saddening. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Wow you liked my comment! I have to say , I love your content man. You're doing a great job!

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.

Westerners think africa is trapped in the ice age!! We know everything!

Can you please email me.

@@kaylee19 what is you email?

@@billwill2210 unnecessary

I'm interested

Hey where can I find the video?

So are you going to share the disadvantage or you prefer us guessing?

@@Tata-bd9nx You can do your own research LOL He doesn’t have to provide anything to us.

@@SnapszDuhh Oh Sorry Everliza..i didnt realize he appointed you as his secretary.

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

Exactly.

I hope to see more of these homes in Ghana

Thanks for watching 🙏🏾

@@TayoAinaFilms you are welcome my guy

Thanks for Watching!

Guess green will be coming up since it's a new project in progress

I was just about to put that here, we need greens

Who cares

@Cecilia Spencer it isn't really " by the sea" .....

@Cecilia Spencer it’s like you’re blind. Didn’t you see all the trees and greens in the Neighborhood?

Thank you. Really Appreciate this.

@@TayoAinaFilms my pleasure 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

i was just thinking about that.

Thanks for watching! 👊🏽

I totally Agree with you. The costs do add up after some time. Thanks for watching.

@Tayo Aina alright buddy

😂 goals

She’s much better than kirstie though!

Here is another one 😉!

Another one in Dj khalid's voice

So inspired by what u do.Please don't stop and I hope to meet you one day.

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.

It will feel like a five-star jail after one month

Thanks for sharing your insights! 🙏🏾

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.

Nice. Will love to see more of this in Lagos!

Thanks for watching. Naija is beautiful for sure 😁

Didn’t realise till shooting this 🥵🤣

@@VanessaKanbi I understand you because the experience commuting is quite unnerving. I wish they'd made provision for transportation from the bottom of the hill to their property and vice versa,for guests. Especially since they created those very steep access roads on either side of the building.

@@VanessaKanbi There are similar dips along the Koklobite stretch. They always had me until I see others packed there.

You are very correct!
