The gorgeous one-room home

She showed off the living room area of the open-plan apartment, boasting an L- shaped couch and a large TV. Behind the couch sat a neatly decorated bed with white built-in cupboards installed and a large fan for cooling off during hot days. The creator, Facebook user Nthabiseng Betty Maluleka, noted in the comments section that it would cost between R40 K and R70K to build the home.

Woman shows off her humble home

We asked the expert behind Kannjane Construction to analyse the beautiful residential project and the rise of women-led buildings in Mzansi. We asked the man what stands out to him about the architecture and design of the woman’s home. He responded, saying:

“I like that it is a mystery. It looks like a shack, and a container at the same time. If you aren’t looking closely or if you’re not a building expect it may be difficult to understand what it is really made of. I also like that it has a minimalist feel that makes it look very expensive. The use of larger windows and the sliding door is a great choice because it lets in natural light, which makes even a medium-sized room feel like a big hall.”

We asked the man how someone living in a single open room can make it feel like a full home with a lounge and a bedroom, like the creator. He said:

“The is in zoning. You don’t need walls to create rooms. You can use different rugs, or even, as the woman did, get an L-shaped couch to “divide” the space into two areas. That way, the space feels like two different rooms that you can see at once.”

SA loves the woman's home

The post gained massive traction, reaching 755K views and hundreds of comments from social media users who were inspired by the home. Many viewers were open to the idea of getting container homes and asked her for details. Some said they were budgeting to get themselves their own.
