Easy 4 Dayz

Easy for Dayz is a new concept to McGregor with an innovative hybrid container house in the upper part of the village.

Easy for Dayz is a new concept to McGregor with an innovative hybrid container house in the upper part of the village. The hybrid construction of the house is made up of a recycled shipping container that is wrapped with a wall and then plastered and whitewashed. This wall gives the container excellent thermal properties that protects the dwelling from wind. The hybrid nature of construction creates an inherently thick wall, which allows for deep reveals around small punctured windows and doors, reflecting the vernacular, as well as creating passive screening of harsh sunlight.

The cottage comfortably sleeps 4 people in 2 bedrooms, and has 2 bathrooms of which 1 is en-suite. The first spacious bedroom contains a double bed and a shower en suite with toilet and washbasin. The second bedroom contains a bunk bed, and an additional pull-out trundle bed suitable for a child. The second bathroom contains a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with top of the range appliances including a dishwasher and washing machine. The cottage has a spacious, north-facing patio and a large braai area with splash pool, set in a beautiful garden. Complimentary Wi-Fi is provided.

The fireplace and braai area is an important sculptural element in the architecture. The stoep end wall is expressed with a viewing window and window seat. On the north façade of the house, the large overhang of the roof protects a deck stepping down onto the garden and creating an extension of the living space from large barn-style sliding doors.
