Capsule House with Kitchen

Yes—you can buy a capsule house with a kitchen! Modern capsule homes are no longer just sleeping pods. Many now include efficient, space-saving kitchenettes designed for daily cooking, meal prep, and even entertaining—all within 100–400 sq ft. Whether you’re in the U.S., Philippines, UK, or beyond, turnkey models with kitchens are ready to ship.

Here’s what to expect and where to find them:

• Induction cooktop (1–2 burners, energy-efficient)
• Mini-fridge or under-counter refrigerator

• Permits: In many areas, a kitchen triggers full building permit requirements (not just a shed).

FAQs

A: Absolutely! Induction stoves boil water fast, and compact fridges hold 3–5 days of groceries—perfect for 1–2 people.

A: Not always. In the Philippines and U.S., it’s often an upgrade (+₱30,000 / +$5,000). Always confirm before ordering.

A: Yes—most prefab brands allow you to choose cabinet color, countertop material, and appliance placement.
