      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.

    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..

    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!

    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.

    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!

    • @padgettparker1815
      @padgettparker1815 10 років тому +7

      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 .

    • @46619TAB
      @46619TAB 10 років тому +15

      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.

    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.

    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.

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!

    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

      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.

    most tiny houses focus so much on wood (or wood-looking-plastic) and i find it very cabin-in-the-woods. maybe nice for a weekend, but lacks the interior design value. i fell in love with this container house! finally someone who doesn't give up on decoration because they have a smaller space to live in. i adored the bathroom -which is something most people somehow overlook. i could even see myself living there, it's that fantastic.

    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)

    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.

    • @persebra
      @persebra 10 років тому +1

      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.

    • @persebra
      @persebra 10 років тому +2

      ***** 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.

      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.

    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.

    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.
