Ok so i came from watching kdramas on UA-cam and now im addicted to watching tiny homes for 3 days straight been streaming that. And bryce one thing i noticed are your positive comments to everytiny homes. That's really sweet
If someone already had a parcel of land they could rent a 40 footer for approx $200 mo. use half for storage and build out the other half for a temporary living space until they got their mobil home, etc set up. That's still cheaper then renting a room in most cases.
It looks so unbelievably cozy too. Plus a surprise wardrobe hidden away from any guests eyes, all with zero doors. Holy this house got me surprised in like five different ways.
This is the only 20 footer that I have thought "I could live there". She really did a great job on the design of the place. It is beautiful and functional. Excellent idea to put the bedroom under the living room; how cool is that. I would still like to have more room than that but goodness that place is really nice. Lots of great idea's. Janice
It reflects the industrial materials its based on. This isn't the usual rustic charm associated to the Tiny 'frugle' Houses, this is Urban Chic on the cheap. For tiny house, read tiny apartment. ;) It just occured to me, having the bedroom below means it should be cooler in the summer months..
She really has done a brilliant job! Quite clever with the split level and utilizing a high cube. Crafty way to fit so much under the 10m2 for that pesky council...
This one is awesome! Definitely a few things we haven't seen before in a tiny space, particularly the inverse-loft... very cool idea. It's also nice to see someone else who shares our opinion of the living room area being a place where you won't be standing and thus can design it accordingly.
Now imagine if she wasn't also building to comply with the local council rules. This is a really great design which could be a template for other designs for that size container. Her solution for the tempuary foundations was also quite ingenious.
I have a sloped roof, low side is only 7' and it is the living room side. It is more comfortable sitting back to the shorter side, facing 10' of windows to the outside.
This place is BRILLIANT! The one thing I don't care for with 'tiny houses' in the US is the sleeping loft and ladder. Once you hit 60 and have to go NOW in the middle of the night and have an issue with Vertigo in the dark, it's not the best for safety. Far too small for us 2 guys and our 2 Greyhound kids BUT I've taken away some really good ideas! The main level sleeping area is stellar! BRAVOS to Ms Kelly and a BIG thanks to you for posting a fabulous tiny home!!!
Steve181 It's not a non-issue, I'm 60, a guy, there are 2 of us and he's 61. It's a full time home and properly designed, there should be no reason for living like you're in a tent.
Jamac007 Better yet, build a tiny house like this one with the sleeping area on the main floor and incorporate storage drawers into the steps up the lounge.
I agree about the loft , not only for practical reasons as mentioned by 46619TAB , but also because they make these tiny homes seem oppressive . The ladder adds to the visual clutter and the lofts are often ' opened-up ' with dormers and skylights that are just holes and ongoing problems in what could be an otherwise sound and long lasting gable or shed roof .
padgett parker When I was in school learning design, I latched onto the K.I.S.S. 'keep it simple stupid' concept as well as the idea of 'smaller is smarter' when it comes to home design. When meeting with a new client, I ask a lot questions regarding 'stuff' they have packed away - do you really need 3 Xnas trees, how often do you use Grandma's 'good china' and what's in this box and when was the last time you used it? Less is more. I love the idea of the lounge loft accessed by stairs and the sleeping area on the main floor because at my age when you gotta go, you gotta go NOW and there's no time to find the glasses or the ladder.
Gabriella Morrison I do think Skyarza Container Home Star is actually great. Why don't you give it a chance as its the sea containers with homes design. They are not "sterilized" but they are cleaned, primed and painted. No blocking of cell or wifi signals. No issues with lightning - many structures have metal roofs.
Brenda is really gifted at tiny house design. I have seen two of your videos of her tiny houses and both are pure genius. I really love that she managed to create 3 "rooms" that one would feel like they were entering a completely separated space with the unique loft design. I also love that she has an actual usable desk with ergonomics in consideration: raising the monitor up to your eye level by putting the monitor on top of the printer, sliding keyboard drawer (I rarely see a tiny house with a keyboard, which is needed for ergonomic reason), double decker desk for paper underneath and potted plant atop. Little ideas can create a big difference in productivity for those of us who work from (tiny) home.
What a brilliant use of space!! Love this. Tiny Home Community, let me ask you this--who are the 466 people (or anyone watching these videos) who are thumbing these down? What is there not to like about any of this? If you don't like the concept of tiny homes and it's not for you, why are you looking at this? These are for people who have a love and appreciation for innovative, clever, and awesome homes in a tiny package. Each home is different, all great, the host is engaging, and the people are friendly. One day, I hope to build a tiny home myself!
I agree! Instead of sending containers over filled with junk none of us need, please send over almost-finished houses!!! Sell them on a mortgage basis ($500 a month until paid for?) and you'll be gold.
@@signalfire6 Not a great market for them at that rate in the US. I can buy a shed and finance all the stuff needed to make it a home for around that much.
Bryce, I have noticed, videos that get the most views on your channel are the tours of small houses built by other people, the interest is clearly there. Your interviewing skills and on camera presence are very good, and Melissa's eye for camera detail is excellent. Have you considered going full time interviewing people from around the world building their own small houses, I believe you would have the audience to support such a bold venture. Here in the States we have a TV program called Tiny House Nation, that airs on the FYI network, and, it has had good reviews. Small house builds seem to be more than a fad, but rather a new way of living. By building small we can enjoy life more to its fullness. I have been following Troy over at The Do It Yourself World channel where he is building a small house and posting videos of his progress every day. I know everyones scheduled is different, so, I offer these comments as suggestions. It would be nice to see more videos of your own build.
Hey Steven! Thanks for your lovely comment. We really enjoy traveling around and doing these Tiny House tours, and there is certainly the potential there for us to do a lot more of it once our own build is finished. We've got a couple of tours lined up still for this year, and hopefully the big final for the year will be our own place!
Looks can be deceiving... I admit I don't like the harshness of the blue, I'd paying it green or something else so it looks more harmonious with the environment. But inside, perfection! I'm 5'3 tall, I want a tiny house!
I love how the bed is. I want to live in a van until I save enough for a permanent home, either a "tiny home" on a trailer or a container. I thought a container would be better submerged for thermal advantages in the UK but having a living room higher brings a much better view. having the bed below means no climbing and I see you don't slouch etc so it's a good height, leaving the rest of the space open which feels less enclosed. I love it
I have done a lot of research on container homes and small homes and for the space this looks like the most well planned containers Ive seen while still being comfortable for the long term! I really like this one!
This is one of my very favorite "tiny homes" so far! She was able to get all that she needed & desired in this space and I think that it's incredible.....Job well done young lady!!😀👍👍
wow this is brilliant, and good to see Off grid home in New Zealand getting more popular, it's my favorite kind of living. Wow that lady is obviously so talented in designing her home, I like it a lot! :-) I love the idea of the shower room too!
It's the same for many many of the comments these owners and host says... This is my favorite spot to relax in the house..... Yeah, the couch or the bed.... LoLololol gotta be one of them...
Inspirational to say the least!!!!! (Applause!!!!!).....This is exactly what I have been after as well.....and "off the grid" topped it in my books...well done! You deserve to enjoy it to the full.....amy you have many happy years there!
I think she did really well considering she wasn't allowed to use the whole space for code reasons. Her budget roughly translates to $25,000 USD which is pretty good considering the container costs @4-5 grand plus 2 for shipping.
Most of the sellers I've seen in the US will do include the shipping in the price if you're not going more than 50 miles from where they have their stored. The real problem I see with it is how the 20ft containers often aren't but a few hundred less than 40ft, so the only way I'd do a 20ft would be if I had a restriction like she had.
I keep coming back to this container build. It's such a fresh original design made specifically for a modern living style. Laptop charging / phone. Easy meal prep facilities. Area for reading, studying, texting, playing the guitar etc. It wouldn't take much to add to this for a more permanent lifestyle person / people. ie more solar panels and bigger inverter. evac tubing hotwater.
This is actually a well-thought out space. Love the little details like strip lighting, see through roof in the bathroom, shelving units hidden at the bed ends not to mention power-regulating measures👍👏
I like this even more, than the 2 container version where she lives now..... that bathroom, just adorable en chique PLUS; this is the greatest looking off grid container i've ever seen... and i've seen a lot ( because i want to make my own lol )
I think it is just our attempt at some very light hearted humour. There was no intention to offend. If we have offended you, I apologise unreservedly. Live long and prosper. :)
Hahaha. Tell me about it. I'm from NY and it's crazy what people will pay for in order to have something that small and a slight view of central park. Her view is way better!
Wow what a really nice way to utilize every space. Love this! It's so cool. Every time I take something new from every tiny home that I've watch. It's amazing what some people can do if they just do it themselves. So creative
This is a great idea and there are tons of people that agree with downsizing and living simple. I try to do the same in my CamperVan when traveling and I love it!
so beautiful. well done. my husband and I just had a 25 foot travel trailer given to us and we want to take it down to the medal frame and build from there. bravo!!! gave us some great ideas! thanks so much for sharing.
Thank you Brenda for sharing your home with us. I am not yet a tiny home owner but it is on my radar, the container idea might be the ticket. Your sleeping area/living area is a great idea. Also I love how much you have done in a VERY small space, I was worried about the bathroom/shower area until I saw it, it looks like it is disconnected from the rest of the home, is smell/moisture the reason for that? This is a TEENY home! Well done! Converted NZD to US and you spent under $25k (US) do to it, which is very good for how much and how nice it is.
i have read several times that SIP are better structurally than stick build, and it just doesnt make sense to me. its just plywood boards with some foam insulation in between. Just not buying it.
***** thanks for taking the time to explain the differences. i guess i just have a bias against plywood and foam being structurally stronger than 2 by 4 or 2by6. Also I am wondering how long this foam would really last as insulation in comparison to something like sheep's wool, which some of the better houses have uses. anyway, if i ever get to building, i would look more into it thanks again.
Very cosy, brilliant use of the space. However I would add washing machine (in the bathroom maybe) and stove (just a little one in the kitchen bench. It is perfect!!
Amazing! A great clean design! I loved the living area above the sleeping area. I will build four units here in Brazil, for rent to university studants, and im searching for some brilliant ideas like that. (sorry my bad english)
Make sure you have a big desk space for students. I would say a big desk is way more important than a big couch cuz they would have a computer monitor plus textbooks and lecture notes all over the desk.
If you can make the living room and the bedroom to change their high then this would be perfect. What I mean is to use a platform lifted with hydraulics for example.
The 20-footers are EXTREMELY limiting so unless you have a specific zoning regulation you are trying to beat by having minimal square footage, consider a 40-foot standard or even better a 40-foot or longer High Cube container. Keep in mind an ISO container is just a steel box so insulation (if needed), plumbing, wiring etc remain to be done. ISOs are nice to work with if you weld. The 20s are considered "cute" so they tend to sell for as much as a forty-foot standard. I prefer the High Cubes so I use two joined as shop space. I'd live in an ISO house if I didn't already have houses, but they are really best suited to people who are used to metalworking. I am and my welders are inside my shop hence instantly handy. The least expensive space for most Americans is still the typical mobile home or a repurposed mobile office trailer, but ISOs are highly storm-resistant. Do your homework, and there is a lot of homework, before committing to build. Also consider ISOs in conjunction with other steel building products designed to integrate them. I suggest getting a container to use as a shop which will support building a more advanced structure as a home. I had a power pole with panel and outlets placed so I'd have site power before working on my containers. Inexpensive and very convenient.
Seriously? This is what you guys take away from this? Not just you one, but all those dirty minds hooking onto an innocent remark? Whilst there are so many brilliant other things to remark on...please people get a life, or at least keep your brain garbage to yourselves.....
It's one the cleverest designs I have come across. I have been watching tiny house videos for around half a year now. I never actually saw something this beautiful in such a tiny space. Invert loft idea is tremendous. On the top of it, the bathroom designed to receive the natural light is very cool. The color palette choosen made the difference.. ehancing the aesthetics. A proper theme was followed for the whole house... Great job (y)
Great house, tiny but cosy place to stay. She got everything she needs in her tiny house, you can really tell that this woman proud with this house🏠 . Great job, good to see when people creates happy living for themselves. I Really like the show and community members who watches this show, nice place to gather new ideas✍👍
The concrete in the tire is a great idea -- might make "earthship" building go faster. I see the economic advantage to these tiny homes, but for two or more people, I just can't imagine it being comfortable. Maybe at a rate of one tiny home per person, but then I'd rather build a modestly sized house.
There's not one anywhere in view. I also don't see a microwave or even a toaster oven anywhere. There's also something suspect about the dimensions. Look at that tall window from the outside and then again from inside. I don't see any lost space for insulation in either the ceiling or the floor. Typical interior dimensions on a HC is 8'9", and he's 6'4", so head clearance of 2'5" inside a raw container. There seems to be more than that over his head when he standing at the door. Curious.
+speedbump0619 Hey SpeedBump. There is no permanent stove in the kitchen area. Part of the legal requirements of such a structure under 10sqm is that the structure is not self contained. That's why the bathroom is in a seperate area, and the kitchenette area doesn't have cooking facilities. There is a BBQ outside the front door for cooking, and Brenda can also use a portable gas stove which she keeps under the kitchen counter. As for the height of the structure, it is what's known as a high cube container, which means it is higher than a standard shipping container. Hope that clears it up for you. :)
No they didn't show one, my guess about it is that she probably has the kind of stove burner you take out of a drawer or cabinet and place on the counter to use, then store back in a drawer.
Ok so i came from watching kdramas on UA-cam and now im addicted to watching tiny homes for 3 days straight been streaming that. And bryce one thing i noticed are your positive comments to everytiny homes. That's really sweet
@Red Rum yes murder
It helps that Bryce is hot af. 😉
same
OMG! We’re the same! 😄 from Kdrama to tiny house ☺️👐
What I like most is the bathroom. Very clever. Total off grid, no bills. That is the way to go. Great Job.
land has property tax on it.
Property tax is nothing compared when you combine bills with it so it’s good
mmanut is
For that tiny amount of land, the property tax will be basically nothing. Maybe $20
If someone already had a parcel of land they could rent a 40 footer for approx $200 mo. use half for storage and build out the other half for a temporary living space until they got their mobil home, etc set up. That's still cheaper then renting a room in most cases.
I didn't expect the bed area to have enough space that you could sit up. That was a nice surprise!
It looks so unbelievably cozy too. Plus a surprise wardrobe hidden away from any guests eyes, all with zero doors. Holy this house got me surprised in like five different ways.
Love that she made her childhood wish a reality for her and her lovely 🐈kitty! Well 👏🏻done young lady!!👍🏻😄🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

It reflects the industrial materials its based on. This isn't the usual rustic charm associated to the Tiny 'frugle' Houses, this is Urban Chic on the cheap. For tiny house, read tiny apartment. ;)
It just occured to me, having the bedroom below means it should be cooler in the summer months..
@@chrisliddiard725 and a lot easier to heat as well because you've got much less space to worry about
It gets problematic when it comes to its upkeep and maintenance, and if the planning was half-assed, the insulation is also becomes an issue.
I love the interior choices. It's very easy on the eyes and cozy.
I'm sure i'm not the only one who found the owner very eloquent and smart which only added to the charm of her amazing space.
She is pretty ordinary for a kiwi, they have a good education system.
It's a blue box that is bigger on the inside! Where's the doctor?
@Mikael P. Dr Who...??
@@bahardin3992 Yes.
Doctor?
And to think that now on 2019, the Doctor is now a woman!
One of the best 20ft designs I've seen
She really has done a brilliant job! Quite clever with the split level and utilizing a high cube. Crafty way to fit so much under the 10m2 for that pesky council...
She sure has! When it comes to using space very well, this is one of the best places we've visited so far.
Isn't it about 16sqm?
Kiwi accent is my favorite. Scottish second favorite.
What was she saying about the council? I couldn't catch the last word....
@@kingz2860 anything over 10m2 requires planning permission which is why she kept it within 10m2

This is a brilliant design! Super tiny but doesn't feel lacking. I absolutely adore this one.
small? This is bigger than my current apartment.Very nice
Hahaha. Tell me about it. I'm from NY and it's crazy what people will pay for in order to have something that small and a slight view of central park. Her view is way better!

Have you guys seen the upgraded version? It is way bigger.
My motorhome is like half that size! I really should consider upgrading 🤔
Wow what a really nice way to utilize every space. Love this! It's so cool. Every time I take something new from every tiny home that I've watch. It's amazing what some people can do if they just do it themselves. So creative
Favorite shipping container home.
Shipping Container is absolutely fantastic!
this is most smartly done tiny house I've come across from the many others.
This is a great idea and there are tons of people that agree with downsizing and living simple. I try to do the same in my CamperVan when traveling and I love it!
so beautiful. well done. my husband and I just had a 25 foot travel trailer given to us and we want to take it down to the medal frame and build from there. bravo!!! gave us some great ideas! thanks so much for sharing.
Definitely the best looking shipping container house I've ever seen! Great space working!
Thank you Brenda for sharing your home with us. I am not yet a tiny home owner but it is on my radar, the container idea might be the ticket. Your sleeping area/living area is a great idea. Also I love how much you have done in a VERY small space, I was worried about the bathroom/shower area until I saw it, it looks like it is disconnected from the rest of the home, is smell/moisture the reason for that? This is a TEENY home! Well done! Converted NZD to US and you spent under $25k (US) do to it, which is very good for how much and how nice it is.
i believe in new zeland the home has to be under a certain measurement, so she made the bathroom separate to fit the rules.
i have read several times that SIP are better structurally than stick build, and it just doesnt make sense to me. its just plywood boards with some foam insulation in between. Just not buying it.
***** thanks for taking the time to explain the differences. i guess i just have a bias against plywood and foam being structurally stronger than 2 by 4 or 2by6. Also I am wondering how long this foam would really last as insulation in comparison to something like sheep's wool, which some of the better houses have uses.
anyway, if i ever get to building, i would look more into it thanks again.
This was brilliant &awesome. She's genius. The more I watch these vids, the more I am seriously thinking of getting my own tiny house. Fr fr
"so umm.. let's check out the sleeping area.." smooth, dude, smooth. ;)
i was thinkin the same thing...just get on in the bed with her.lol
327bladerunner I'd be scared to get on the bed with her. I think the whole thing is a man trap. ;)

This chick's a monster in the rack. You can tell.
😂😂😂😂 slik
"Getting on my knees is not an issue"
This home has a very modern feel. Like others have stated, splitting up the living space and bed in such a way was a great way to maximize the space.
Probably the nicest 20footer I have seen done.
I love this one! So very smartly designed. I could stay in this tiny home for a very long time.
Resourceful lady.........sure beats the rent trap!
This is by far my favorite container house so far !
Very cosy, brilliant use of the space. However I would add washing machine (in the bathroom maybe) and stove (just a little one in the kitchen bench. It is perfect!!
Fantastic place, this really is a tiny home but has everything she and the cat needs 😍 Planning since 13 has clearly paid off, this is awesome!!
Amazing! A great clean design! I loved the living area above the sleeping area. I will build four units here in Brazil, for rent to university studants, and im searching for some brilliant ideas like that. (sorry my bad english)
Make sure you have a big desk space for students. I would say a big desk is way more important than a big couch cuz they would have a computer monitor plus textbooks and lecture notes all over the desk.
Just when I thought I’ve seen it all...the living room was built on TOP! Awesome idea
This woman is genius!!
This is awesome. No rent, no electricity bill. The bathroom was cute. And the nature and serenity seems so blissful.
lovely, livable, unique and only the price of a car. wonderful. Now if govt would just let us live as we please
I absolutely love this tiny spacious BEAUTIFUL house.
If you can make the living room and the bedroom to change their high then this would be perfect. What I mean is to use a platform lifted with hydraulics for example.
This is one of my favorites so far. It looks so comfortable and cozy.
Wonderful. One of the best I've seen
this is my favourite tiny home ever!! love love love that the bed is under the living room!
OMG THIS HOME IS AMAZING! IT LOOKS SO SMALL FROM THE OUTSIDE BUT IT IS NOT BAD AT ALL
All I can say is Wow! This one I've saved ot my Inspiration file!
The 20-footers are EXTREMELY limiting so unless you have a specific zoning regulation you are trying to beat by having minimal square footage, consider a 40-foot standard or even better a 40-foot or longer High Cube container. Keep in mind an ISO container is just a steel box so insulation (if needed), plumbing, wiring etc remain to be done. ISOs are nice to work with if you weld.
The 20s are considered "cute" so they tend to sell for as much as a forty-foot standard. I prefer the High Cubes so I use two joined as shop space. I'd live in an ISO house if I didn't already have houses, but they are really best suited to people who are used to metalworking. I am and my welders are inside my shop hence instantly handy.
The least expensive space for most Americans is still the typical mobile home or a repurposed mobile office trailer, but ISOs are highly storm-resistant.
Do your homework, and there is a lot of homework, before committing to build. Also consider ISOs in conjunction with other steel building products designed to integrate them. I suggest getting a container to use as a shop which will support building a more advanced structure as a home. I had a power pole with panel and outlets placed so I'd have site power before working on my containers. Inexpensive and very convenient.
This lady has obviously thought this through. Deceptively spacious inside. Love the lounge/bedroom set-up. I love these videos. A W E S O M E!
that was most excellent planning.
The design of this space is just excellent. I love how efficient and well thought out everything is. Well done.

lol😀
I was going to comment this hehehe
She seems a little bit flirty in this video. Is it just me? She wanted some...
Seriously? This is what you guys take away from this? Not just you one, but all those dirty minds hooking onto an innocent remark? Whilst there are so many brilliant other things to remark on...please people get a life, or at least keep your brain garbage to yourselves.....
It's one the cleverest designs I have come across. I have been watching tiny house videos for around half a year now. I never actually saw something this beautiful in such a tiny space. Invert loft idea is tremendous. On the top of it, the bathroom designed to receive the natural light is very cool. The color palette choosen made the difference.. ehancing the aesthetics. A proper theme was followed for the whole house... Great job (y)
I love that layout!
Blessings to you in your new home! :-)
Great house, tiny but cosy place to stay. She got everything she needs in her tiny house, you can really tell that this woman proud with this house🏠 . Great job, good to see when people creates happy living for themselves.
I Really like the show and community members who watches this show, nice place to gather new ideas✍👍
I love how well he listens, he looks so zoned in. lol
I just rewatched this one again after 4 years. great as ever.
The concrete in the tire is a great idea -- might make "earthship" building go faster.
I see the economic advantage to these tiny homes, but for two or more people, I just can't imagine it being comfortable. Maybe at a rate of one tiny home per person, but then I'd rather build a modestly sized house.
Half of all households are singles, so....
I love watching this series! Great host, guests and homes! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Is she sitting in her bowl of apples?
Really delightful! Has everything and yet so very tiny. So inspiring!
Does anybody see the stove in the kitchen area ?
I don't feel like i see one
There's not one anywhere in view. I also don't see a microwave or even a toaster oven anywhere. There's also something suspect about the dimensions. Look at that tall window from the outside and then again from inside. I don't see any lost space for insulation in either the ceiling or the floor. Typical interior dimensions on a HC is 8'9", and he's 6'4", so head clearance of 2'5" inside a raw container. There seems to be more than that over his head when he standing at the door. Curious.
+speedbump0619 Hey SpeedBump. There is no permanent stove in the kitchen area. Part of the legal requirements of such a structure under 10sqm is that the structure is not self contained. That's why the bathroom is in a seperate area, and the kitchenette area doesn't have cooking facilities. There is a BBQ outside the front door for cooking, and Brenda can also use a portable gas stove which she keeps under the kitchen counter. As for the height of the structure, it is what's known as a high cube container, which means it is higher than a standard shipping container. Hope that clears it up for you. :)
+speedbump0619 I think part of the height of the crate is dug into the ground.
+AozoraFreak you can run everything for 1 or 2 people off an induction top, and mini fridge no big deal
No they didn't show one, my guess about it is that she probably has the kind of stove burner you take out of a drawer or cabinet and place on the counter to use, then store back in a drawer.
What a clever container! She’s really designed it well, I absolutely love it! Wow
