• A 3-Bedroom Container Family House in Kakamega

Containers by Litu proudly presents a standout project in the heart of Kakamega. This is a beautifully executed 3-bedroom container house built by conjoining a 40ft and a 20ft shipping container.

Designed for practicality, comfort, and visual appeal, this home exemplifies how modern container architecture can provide affordable, stylish, and sustainable housing solutions in Kenya.

This residential container house offers three bedrooms, making it ideal for a small family or individual seeking additional room for guests or work-from-home space.

Two cubicle toilets have been incorporated into the layout for maximum convenience and privacy. The compact yet efficient design allows for a seamless flow between living, sleeping, and sanitation spaces.

The Container Home Structural Design

The structure integrates expert insulation to manage Kakamega’s varying temperatures. From hot afternoons to cooler evenings, the interior remains comfortable all year round.

Ventilation was a top design priority; strategically placed windows and vents ensure healthy airflow and reduce reliance on mechanical cooling systems. This approach not only supports indoor air quality but also aligns with eco-conscious living.

The Interior

Electrical and plumbing systems were professionally installed by Containers by Litu’s in-house technicians, adhering to modern standards of safety and efficiency.

Lighting, outlets, water inlets, and drainage were designed to accommodate the daily needs of a contemporary household. Whether it’s powering home appliances or running a hot shower, the systems function smoothly without hassle.

Architecturally, the house retains the sleek industrial appeal of shipping containers while softening the look through neutral-toned finishes and subtle exterior accents.

Entry points are clearly defined, and the front-facing façade adds a welcoming touch through its minimalistic charm. Interiors are left open for customization, allowing homeowners to decorate based on personal preferences.

This container home stands as a testament to how modular building in rural areas like Kakamega is gaining momentum. It’s cost-effective, quick to assemble, and durable in the face of changing climates.
