Container House | Upgrading a bungalow to a submarine, using a pile of iron to explain what love is!

There are many hobbies in a person's life,

some of which will change with the stages of life,

such as playing with toys when they are young, and returning to nature when they grow up.


But there are also hobbies that accompany people throughout their lives,

such as musical instruments,

and a love for certain materials,

to the extent that they are moved into their own houses and permeated into daily life.


This is a container bungalow located at 514-10, Yuntanahara City, Nago City,

Okinawa Prefecture, Japan,

which retains the image of iron in some places.


Located on a hill on the northern island of Okinawa,

it is called Yokohara. The main features are entrance doors and circular windows,

reminiscent of airplanes and submarines.


The iron house is not a building rebuilt from a used container,

 it is a newly created "iron house" based on the design abroad,

and the container used is PAT.


You can see that the indoor layout includes a living room, kitchen,

and bathroom, as well as an outdoor balcony and backyard.


The comfortable balcony offers a panoramic view of the distant scenery,

while the secluded backyard is perfect for a lively BBQ.






A major feature of Iron Cotton is lighting.


The soft light of the Edison light bulb transforms it into a space different from reality,

 with toggle switches like airplane control panels controlling

all the lighting in the iron bungalow.


When you open the crisp sound of metal,

the feeling left on your fingers

 will make you feel what the ultimate experience of love is.





The kitchen in the house is very small

and only suitable for one person to engage in cooking activities inside.


But the bathroom occupies a large proportion of the entire house's space

 because it has two iron bathtubs - steel (iron) Goemon bathtubs.


The Goemon bathtub has good insulation, can gently transfer heat,

and the hot water is very fragrant.


The Goemon bath is the same as a regular bath in

 that it outputs hot water from the faucet.
