So beautiful
I luv the space! Excellent questions as usual Amoaa.
Great looking space! The floor plan is inviting and airy. Beautiful apartments!
This is cool. Thanks for sharing.
Damnnñ I love this channel
I love it! Keep up the international work 🥂
bathroom?
Is the designer shy? She seemed hesitant to answer the questions fully.
What sort of cladding…wood? Can u speak more on any fire hazard using timber cladding. Is it better than that was used for Grenfell?
That's a lot of barb wire on the walls o.O
I need one . Can I get your contact
the hair, dresses, and creative flare. love it!
This structure is beautiful and simple. I would suggest stacking a third trailer on top, and not dividing the units. Each guest would have the run of the full unit. This would be functional for greater numbers of people. You would end up with three full units, not sub-divided. You would attract more high-end clients this way especially families with children. Beautiful, nonetheless.
A multi-function Murphy bed design would be a practical modification. In the down position it's a typical bed. Folded up to the wall, there's a drop down table. It would make a more versatile & efficient use of the space. Many people work online so a multi use space maybe more desirable to traveling renters. The table could serve as a desk work area or a comfortable dining table. A Murphy bed provides extra floor space to invite a guest. Some might feel awkward with a bed in the room like a hotel. Changing the space to feature a table would be more like an office suite. The renter could share a meal with a guest or conduct a meeting.
love this… not sure if possible but if the bed could fold away like a murphy bed solution you could create a living room also… Great job!!!!
This is really beautiful. I absolutely love the aesthetic as well as the overall design and layout of the units. Awesome stuff! Wish her great success.
Does the price include the land as well?
I love when you and wode maya show the country you guys show correct prices.
As an architect this is a lovely small building and the cladding fits well with the surroundings. Great video 👍🏾
So wonderful, I see many container homes but this is the first to see the entire design, plans, before pictures- so inviting. I like each unit is different and space is good for different types of needs. The materials, wood, furniture, lighting, fans/windows perfect for sure flow and esthetics. Plants outside against the wood so natural I didn't think it was container when I saw it. Just perfect. CONGRATULATIONS from US
When I tell you that BW are some of the most creative people on the planet! We are KILLING IT!!!! ☺️🥰
Too much of talking and little showing😏
How much is going for something like this?
Beautiful
Did u say is $8000 because I want to buy one and rent it out?
Nice and streamlined, but in some ways impractical — not much storage in the kitchen area and no closet/place to store clothes. Also it would have been nice to have a livingroom area, I think the layout needs to be reconfigured.
I wonder have you considered a "Day Bed" instead of an actual bed so that they'll have a little more space when they are not sleeping and as seating for guests??????
Is it on a foundation? That’s important … only a few minutes into the video
Interesting they don't respond to their messages when you try to contact them. Not surprise though!
SMART MOVE 😁😂 💯% 💟 👌
This is GREAT and so good to see the tiny house revolution has reached Ghana! That being said, I think for the exact same square footage she should have designed a fully functional kitchen that is very doable in the space available AND the living area + lounge + bedroom could have been designed and staged to convert from a lounge/living area to bedroom. There are a gazillion videos showing versatile tiny home designs that she should consider. The space is definitely adequate for a more functional home.
Great content.
nice modern ratcage. But better then no home at all.
I like this windows in this house. This type of house should have large windows that will one make it specious and airy and that’s what you have done here, really beautiful inside and out, bravo 👏👏👏
A real beautiful exterior structure, is richly designed.Do you build and designed regular homes or only container homes? Such blinds are excellent for hot climates.
Nice video and container finish. Was the parquet floor purchased in Ghana- would you have the address?
This is soo beautiful and economical. I think later they can equally develop the 8, that is 4 on 4 for small families with maybe modern shared kitchen on the down flow to avoid any forms of accidents. congratulations to the team that came up with this perfect and economical home plan
So where is it located ?
Kudos to Cobby for the shots!
You look amazing in that dress and your hair is lovely. Also, it’s always exciting to watch transformation with containers…this looks like a great investment option
Excellent information.
