  • Biophilic design is a term which refers to the connection between our built environment and the living world around us. It speaks to our innate love of nature, our biosphere and connection with living systems. This tiny home has been designed to incorporate elements of biophilic design and natural building to create a home on wheels which is beautiful, natural and healthy to live in, proving that a tiny house can truly be capable of having a big positive impact.

    Walker and Heather were inspired to create a home which incorporated their love of nature and passion for living a low-impact lifestyle, and together with builder Ben from Healthy Tiny Homes in Vancouver, they constructed their ideal tiny house which is now situated in their urban back-yard in Portland, Oregon.
    Find out more about this tiny house and others on our website: www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com...
    Adding to the biophilic design elements, the home also includes some really interesting features, such as a living roof where the roofline has been designed to follow the Fibonacci curve and mimics the design of a leaf. Adding a living roof to a tiny house is quite an achievement, and Walker admits that it’s a bit of an experiment.
    To find out more about this tiny house, you can visit Walkers website, where he blogs on the topic of regenerative architecture and tiny house design. tinylivingbuildings.com/
    To find out more about healthy tiny house building, check out Ben’s website here: tinyhealthyhomes.com/
    In this video tour, Walker mentions the Living Building Challenge as an inspiration. You can find out more about the LBC and it's principles here: living-future.org/lbc/

    "Every building should be built the way a flower exists in its place- it should be rooted in place, it should collect the water that falls on it, it should collect and use only the sun that falls on it; it should provide beauty and use while it's in existence, and it should have a plan for its recycling when it's all done."

      @chowe9, I like your comment, but recycle is the 3rd best of 3 choices. The saying goes: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. So a plan to reuse is even better!
      Recycling takes a lot of energy and fuel (pollution) is involved.
      I wish companies would take back old products (voluntarily) and replace the inner parts with their new, improved product to sell.
      Imagine all the outer shells never making it to the landfill, like home air filters, microwave ovens, etc.

Not only so that they have a future, but also that so many urban dwellers could do too if there was the initiative to do it. It is so vital that we listen to the message from people like this, adopt their ideas into our homes and surroundings, in order to steer ourselves and the planet in the right direction.

Anyway, his passion showed and he was very articulate in walking through the process and explaining his decisions. She seemed happy about the project and was just willing to let him have the opportunity to show off his work. Some people (and by "some people" I mean me) are just not comfortable in front of a camera. Anyway, I feel like I can't judge a relationship on a 16 minute video....

It sounds like he had an epiphany and followed his heart. I absolutely enjoyed their presentation. I loved how they both incorporated their ideas and went on this journey together and with the daughter. Some parts that were more 'in the know' flew over my head, but that's alright, it only made me more intrigued and the entire video was engaging to listen to and watch and had me reflective.

      If a person lives in a large house and then realizes it better to downsize and leave less of a footprint, so they rent out their larger house instead of selling it, you have a problem with that? The big house is already there. Some people watching the small and tiny house videos will decide to also downsize. My son wants to buy his first house to be a tiny house some day when he works and saves to pay cash since he does not believe in going into debt. I have decided to downsize also.

    He did talk a lot and he did say "I, me, my" a lot, but I wouldn't interpret it as egocentric. I think he's just very passionate about design and this must have been a project that he was really invested into, and his spouse seemed to just let him talk because he was the architect behind it. There are loads of other videos in which, if it's a male-female couple, the woman is the one that does most of the talking, because she's the one who thought out more about the functionality or the sustainability or the aesthetic of the design, and the man just stands by quietly, and that's fine too.
    Also, it could be that she talked a lot more in the original recording, but when they edited the video they needed to keep to the time constrain, and perhaps because he talked more about the purpose behind the design, maybe more of the things that she said were left out...?
    People are so quick to judge.

      @MegaJman72, but some people do the opposite. It can be cruel to act like they are headed toward proposing, let's say, if they aren't there yet., or even don't want to ever get that serious.
      When it comes to building something, it's good to let the other person know if their investment of money or time in the project is pretty risky, or if you intend on being with them long-term/marrying.
      Just my two cents.

      MegaJman72 He’s not dominant he’s just well versed in the alternative living. My partner is an engineer & knows a whole lot more about environmental sustainability than I do. I would have never considered some of the building practices he’s implemented since losing his home in the Tubbs fire in Oct 2017. He gets giddy as a schoolboy talking about it, much like this gentleman. On the other hand I picked out the vanity, faucets, bathtub, appliances, flooring, etc. which I enjoy.

This project also showed how one could eventually scale back to live in the tiny while earning income from renting the big. I’d be interested to hear how the live roof is getting on in a year or so. There were so many ideas and design terms I kept pausing the video to research 🙂.

    Oh, I love the set up in this one. The use of the golden ratio is spectacular here. Those counters are gorgeous. The windows are beautiful and the river stone used in the bathroom is very inviting. I can appreciate that bath tub area as well. It makes you realize you really don't need as much room as you think. And if you're around people that's great for security. I find people more attentive and concerned to others this way which can be a benefit. And what could be better than to enjoy the outdoors. When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time outdoors everyday exploring new things leaving little "footprints" of joy and happiness. And, if anything, these tiny homes only bring us closer to nature which is what we're missing out on. We're supposed to be one with Mother nature not separate and constantly warding her off.

    I think that he’s just so passionate about the topic that he forgets to take a breath and let others give their perspective too.

The architect didn't make it for everyone to know his name but out of the Faith he had. Every tower, every design choice, has a meaning. And it's religious.

      Alicia M oh thanks for letting us know that. I like that they put in clips to show us what they are talking about. I’ve never seen that before it was amazing!

    Very cool and unique home and couple. I love the wave of the roof line and the living roof. The inside is so beautiful-love the kitchen and bathroom. It was't a ton of square footage, but sure seemed like it was much bigger than they said. Just beautiful and I love the they are trying to make a difference on the environment. I'm not a city gal at all, a country bumpkin-so this home would be beautiful look out over a forest or fields.

    Wow! I think this is the most beautiful tiny home I have ever seen. You continue to amaze me Bryce, the tiny homes and the wonderful people who build them and the reasons why they build them is just incredible. I love this couple and their design and building process and the thinking behind the building and observations about consumption just blow me away.

    Good home tour. Thanks. Am ashamed to read the rude comments, but that is life. Hats off to this pioneering couple. The lady in this video was so sweet and her husband was obviously protective and nurturing. Loved watching. Wish I had skipped the comments though. Thanks.
