Nice one.

Container home isn't new, although that might not be the case here in Nigeria. One thing I love about container home as an interior designer is the creativity that comes in the interior decor, the space management and the wood surfaces.

I designed this last year using two containers; a 40' and a 20' container. It has a lounge, a kitchen with dinning extension and a two bedrooms with toilets.

elfico:
There is a company that does this in Nigeria. the company is based in Lagos. Some of their works are very impressive and neat. They use about two or three containers and insulate it well. from the exterior you will have a hard time knowing it was made of containers.

Please the name of the company

I hope you guys are not trying to introduce this to naija ..

that's when you'll see guys converting old molue and Danfo bus to selfcontain apartment for rent. .

lol just thinking out loud

Good ideal

fuckerstard:

If I have my way, I would go into deep forest.. Have this type of trailer house installed there, furnish it and install Solar power there, with my dstv, dig water there.. Whenever I want to run away from Nigeria problem to relax.. I will just hire helicopter to drop me there and come pick me when I'm ready to come back..

Having this inside forest will make sense than having it in town.. More breeze and safety in the forest.. While installing lot repellent for animals

So..... is there anyone here that can provide the services or actually build one of these things ?

hahn:

My bad
Cheaper to build than conventional housing. Agreed?

Am talking about money.
Price of container.
Price of Upholstery.
etc

something like what

onatisi:
most of the time it is insulated against heat .you wont fee any heat. The only downside is the rusting issue

Rusts can be prevented by use of ship or marine paints or even antitrust compounds such as rubberized paints and thin layer of tar.


Heat can be prevented by use of plywood installed in vacuum or even having felts and polystyrene.

I love this concept but folks in this part of the globe won't love such.

But marine paints are very expensive. I like this concept too.

martineverest:
dis isnt new...its popular in US

but its new in Naija

This can be used for government and low income housing with cheap security cameras, burglary proof balconies to dry stuff and keep power generators

I love this....I'll build this by God's grace.....containhouse watch out

Confidence is coming for you

hahn:


A lot of "companies" use it but I was referring to the average man using it as a home

I should have added that it's used by civilians, youth corps members and security details. It's a normal community is I'll say. Stores are there too.
