A Kenyan woman living overseas turned a shipping container into a fashionable home in Machakos County.
The solar-powered residence includes a fire pit, a stunning rooftop patio reachable by spiral steps, and lush plants. The container home also includes an outdoor jacuzzi and a warm, elegantly furnished interior.
Naturalktedy (Edna) showcases the fully furnished one-bedroom property, which features a white façade, rooftop deck, outdoor jacuzzi, and a modern interior. The exterior features a large black porch with a comfortable three-seater lounge chair and a jacuzzi. The porch is connected to the rooftop terrace by a tiny spiral stairway.
The property’s beautiful outdoor space surrounds a handcrafted fire pit that can seat two people staying at the residence, which also functions as an Airbnb. Two huge French doors lead into the residence.
The interior is open-plan, which is designed as a general hangout space. It includes a flat-screen television, table and bedside lamps, and a leather-covered sofa. Next to it is a kitchen that has a full-size sink, a standard cooktop as well as a full-sized refrigerator. It also has pivoting bar stools to maximize space. The bedroom Is adjacent, and it has Nordic bedside lighting and a large closet.
Netizens reacted to the video with admiration for its design.
George Hosea said, “That house is one to die for, absolutely lovely space at a reasonable price.”
Caleb Maangi said, “Good job Edna, a dream home.”
Lily James said, “The house is beautiful but I wish they could have used a glass cubicle for the shower area instead of just leaving it open like that.”
