I’ve always been a huge fan of Scandinavian design and it was so cool to visit this longhouse inspired home. I think there are many people out there who love the idea of a tiny house, but just want a little more space and designs like this are perfect for that. We hope you enjoy the tour! With Love, Bryce & Rasa
I’m living in Stockholm, Sweden and basically almost all of us love these 100-400 year old homes. It’s really the Danish who started making lots of these longhouses. Most common for the farmers.
I’d move into a house like this tomorrow!! Absolutely gorgeous…. It’s small but not cramped in anyway. Love it. Lots of love to you both Bryce & Rasa xx
i feel like 'tiny homes' has evolved beyond just the size of the home. it's the consciousness that you have about how much space you take up, consume, making it more sustainable. a mindset reset of what is means to live comfortably, healthily, and happily. so this is a tiny home for me. ♥
This thought is originally used in INDIA from million years। 🤔 we Indian till 1900 lives in saprate house small but enough house in group called villeges। 🤔 25 crore to 50 crore INDIAN are living here from ancient time। Like 5500 years ago there was more than 70 crore INDIAN। but then PAK BANGLADESH AFGANISTAN and some other was part of INDIA 🤔🤔🤔 i am saying that concept of making huge city is a big problem itself for nature and economy also। 🤔🤔 Look at Delhi City it expanded after 1900 and that time river YAMUNA was drinkable, but due to govt careless it become gutter। 🤔 Second one look out China's modern cities contain world class building 20 floors, 100-100 building group and road good infrastructure। 😭 But sadly there is no job no business Chinese buy it on paper live it in on paper sell it on paper। They are just tool। 🤔At last everyone come to accept Indian philosophy 😀 🙏🙏🙏 in my view almost all people should have same category house same size and technology, otherwise it make insecurity to other। 🤔🤔🤔 Today poor people are trying hard to work for paying rent and emi of home 🤔 why they purchase house bigger than savings i don't know।।
Was thinking the same until seeing the inside. The layout of the property with the garage workspace and the atelier, the beautiful concrete terrace and stone hot tub and the Scandinavian look of the house exterior were inspiring. But the inside with all the bland plywood doesn't quite live up to the outside of the house.
Totally. I feel like this opens the door to consumers that feel "traditional" home sizes are what they should look for. This is super approachable for almost anyone.
This is it! A normal house is too much mortgage and a Tiny House is all about concessions. This house is what you get when you meet in the middle! No unnecessary spaces and no concessions on a quality living! This would be a perfect design for me! ❤️
but still costing 200K without the amenities... you could build a dual living home for a bit more and get an income and you have flexibilit.. where this is a big shed for 200k......that he did half of it himself?
Love the simple, restful, joy filled life they have created together through making deliberate, simple choices. The design and materials create such calmness and warmth. Thank you for sharing this home with us.
Our first home was a short, single-wide mobile home on 12 acres in Upstate NY. When we moved to a city an hour away to be closer to work, we kept it and it's become our weekend home. It has nearly the *exact* same layout. It needs renovations and this video was incredibly inspiring. Thanks for the tour!
I would rent that of you in a heartbeat if I lived in your country and was possible, you are very lucky to have a property like that with twelve acres of I'm sure beautiful land.
@ZENJI GAMING It's the smallest lot in town. Most are 25-35 acres. Some are 100 acres. We keep it as woodlands to offset carbon emissions. It's in a town with no business, nearest store (gas station) is 15 minute drive, it has no traffic lights and nobody who wants to live there except those who want privacy. Lots are typically on the market for a few years before they're sold, so if you want to move there and build a place to live, check realtor sites.
Good on you both for recording these places, there must be many who are over having to stay on the work conveyor to pay for more space than they need, and who use a lot of their own time to clean and titivate more space than they need. I'm with Heidi with the realization that a smaller, neater home means more time (and money) to live the life you choose.
Thanks to Heidi and Matt for sharing their lovely home with us! I love the design and the set up that they have. Being debt free within a decade is such a dream. We would love to see more features of small homes as well as tiny houses. Seeing small homes like these gives us hope that one day we could do the same.
This is such a lovely home. It's amazing what people can do with their homes! This house has both simplicity and luxury brought into one home which is perfect.
i love that both of them has his/her own space that he/she can be alone and work. the one thing i hate about tiny houses is that we are at each other space all the time no private space or even doors.
Agreed, I would definitely need a home more like this, or separate building like her office, because being alone is pretty important for my mental health and you can't get that in a true tiny house
LOVE the size of this house! I totally get what they were saying about living in 1/3rd of their previous home. I wish there were more homes built to this size these days. I know in the USA our median home size is like 221 square meters & unless you're a large family you don't really need that much space. LOVE that kitchen, funny that it's bigger than their previous ones. I'd say my favorite part is those gardens! How lovely!
I agree, but as someone in the USA who wishes they could downsize, I couldn't sell my home and build one half the size with the money; I think fundamentally we need to invest more in making this smaller home living a financially practical option. This home is lovely but I from I don't think it came cheap.
@@mattao18 and in addition, regardless of financials, that'd be if a smaller dwelling is even permissible to be built : ( a lot of towns these days have a minimum home and lot size. I know in my home town you can buy a home for under 100k, but there's no way you could build one for that.
Well, I noticed that the house doesn't have any AC, it will not work in most U.S regions. I'm thinking about converting my barn into this kind of house.
You can't occupy more than one room. Eat, Sleep, Work. & Bathe/Shit. Multi-Purpose Room. You occupy 15 square feet of space at the most. If you have a relatively small 1500sq ft house for 2 people, you could downsize 98%. People waste too much energy heating and cooling unused areas. Probably 1/4 to 1/3 of energy used for heating and cooling is used for unoccupied space. If people had human powered generators, they would appreciate how much energy is needed for heating and cooling. They wouldn't stare into the refrigerator with the door open for very long.
As a wheelchair user i absolutely love this design. It would be easy to make it accessible and it doesn’t feel claustrophobic especially when you spent most of your day inside...
Another beautiful masterpiece😍 Well this isn't really a tiny house however its a small, beautiful, cleverly designed, small house. The design and setup has focused on essential elements, no unnecessary rooms, furnitures, clutter. They have so much open space left for gardening and outdoor activities. And love the small cabins for office/ studio and garage/ workshop. The small garden greenhouses are also beautiful 😍 Overall, a very beautiful, cozy and smart house they've got👏🏻
@@melaniecotterell8263 yes, definitely not at all tiny nor portable but better than those gigantic villas in their neighborhood.. I agree if it was portable, then it would've been better but some prefer permanent dwelling and its a LOT better in that category!
yes, but most people can't really live in a tiny home long-term. and the majority of people don't really need it to be portable - you've got to have somewhere to put it, land is the most expensive and difficult thing, not the building. Well designed small houses (esp terraces, townhouses, apartments) are where the future of housing should be imo.
@@trishna_6815 yes! I'm a fan of permanent establishments with open area around, balcony, garden and a terrace as well. However, I think its great to have smaller houses. It reduces wastage of resources, hoarding, clutter, etc.
I look at is as an exchange of time. Rather than work to pay for a larger home that they don't use, they exchanged it for a home that is used fully and frees up time to invest in the things that are meaningful to their entire life - hobbies, health, etc.
Magnificent! I loved everything about it! Also, I'm a psychotherapist and could just see myself in Heidi's studio! Thank you all for sharing this lovely home with us
Houses like that could put you out of business. Therapeutic homes. The setting is therapeutic. The house makes it warm & cozy, without detracting therapy points.
What a beautiful home they've created! It feels refreshing, welcoming, safe, and happy. Please ask them for an update visit in a few years when their orchard is grown. I'm sure it will be even more spectacular in the future.
Though I love looking at tiny homes I don't think they're truly suitable for everyone but something along the lines of this gorgeous home and gardens seems like something much more practical to a wide range of people. I think a big part of it is that the home is thoroughly planned around the needs of those living in it. It definitely allows for a much more efficient use of space and materials. I love the simple Scandinavian inspired style in this home, it's so gentle and welcoming. And that bath on the deck is awesome! I'd be enjoying it summer and winter evenings both :)
That is just a WOW house. What a lovely couple, you can really tell that they love and respect one another. Scandinavian design is probably one of my top two favorites, this is an exemplary example. Great video.
What an amazing home! This is the perfect size. This style of home and size of land is something I hope to have one day. They’ve done an incredible job with the house and landscaping. Great video mate 😊
Such a fabulous and needed idea of showing “Almost Tiny Home” I saw a an older lady who had a tiny home, but had no stairs or loft. She created her forever home.. smart and loved that, (perfect idea for my 75 yr. old mom… she would love this)!! But this is perfect!!! This home is an awesome realistic design that really fits and checks all the boxes, without excessive and unnecessary consumption of energy and space. Kudos for caring about future generations with such style and great taste! Please showcase more “Almost Tiny Home” love 💗 this!!!
I love the tiny houses, but here in Austria they are close to impossible with our building laws. So this house is really inspiring. I hope to see some more from time to time.
same in Sweden we need a minimum size so a tiny one wouldn't make it but a small house is possible :) it varies depending on county/etc but generally anything under 80 square meters is near impossible, some accept 60-70 so it depends. Might as well make it a solid 100 square meters before applying for construction.
That is one of the best showers I've seen in any home; apartment, RV, house, large mansion....any type of housing. The rest of the house is awesome too. I like the extras (The Shed, Studio, and Garden), they are a bonus. I could live here.
I didn't get 40 acres or a mule. America. We stole it fair & square. Kiwis are lucky SOBs No immigrants in a beautiful, isolated place. No Karens. No MSNBC. No mail in voting. Christchurch, NZ. People with occupations. They have to travel to see how good they have it.
Wow! This could easily be my favourite tiny house I have seen on this channel! I love the nordic look and feel to it! Everything is so tidy and clean on the land! The vegie garden is so neat and tidy and clean! Love it!
💯‼️ Agreed. This “Almost Tiny” speaks to me. NOT cutting out what you need and/or want, but this home is definitely NOT including unnecessary excessive space and energy. Favorite by far. I hope more “ Almost Tiny” is showcased more. I’m noticing the tiny homes that are built with a locked foundation (no intention to move the home) speaks directly to me. I would just build on land that I owned… because the level of options that you can have keeping it off wheels is endless. Great home, great job showcasing this lovely home.
I was going to ask for compact homes. And you came through! Even without all the outside stuff, this is a very livable space for those us who want living with little effort! Thanks!
Love it!__especially, that it's on a large enough lot for various gardens and separate work areas! I also like that you provided a schematic view. Thanks for this lovely tour. 💖🙌😺
Wow this is a true dream set up! It’s exactly what my husband and I want. A small home, separate studio for me to use as a music studio, a huge shed, room for veges, and a big flat fenced block for puppies! With such a big block I’d also set up a tiny house in the other corner to use as guest accommodation! It’s absolutely perfect! ❤
Really inspiring couple. I appreciate that they have built such a space where they can live their best lives. I also appreciate how they never mentioned having human children; I think it's important to show that not everyone wants/has to have a human child in order to experience joy, wonder, contentment, or gratefulness. Both of them appear fulfilled with their 4 unit family. :) The dog and rabbit made my heart warm.
I love these upsized 'tiny' homes, which are far more comfortable and practical than the usual tiny home designs, but still not obnoxiously large like most homes today. This is a 'right sized' home for someone who likes to entertain guests. I love the Scandinavian inspired design and the black and tan exterior, it's modern, minimal and just clean. Also, I love the fact that they didn't sacrifice garage/shop space. As a car enthusiast and DIYer myself, this would be a must for me. Beautiful homestead that's right up my alley, well done!
This is a dream tiny home for me! Beautiful finishes and details. A huge shop/garage for my hubby to tinker in. A studio of my own to create art in. Gardens for growing yummy food. Lots of outdoor space. Indoor space to store home-canned goods. Maybe we were meant, as humans, to have separate dwellings, small in size, so we could get away from each other and then connect when we felt like it. Katherine Hepburn said something like….couples should buy separate houses and live next door to each other. I have ALWAYS ascribed to that sentiment. After 37 years, happy to see hubby…and then happy to have time apart. This is a win!
Definitely one of my favorite homes you've showed here. It's spacious and clever -- especially with that wardrobe behind the bed. I like that. Also --- the separation between their office and their main house. Yes!!!
In my youth I had very cool Scandinavian furniture and dreamed of a proper home for it. They have built it. I love ❤️ everything about this house. My spirit was in flight on this tour. The gardens, hot tub, and fireplace are pure magic. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home and lovely couple.
Lovely home and grounds. I think it is a perfect home as a forever home. We have our forever home also. What I see is that you've made it accommodating for aging, with the exception of the stairs on the exterior. What I love is that once your gardens are fully established it is going to be a Wow home. It looks well thought-out and lovingly accomplished. Congratulations!
I am so glad I ran across this video by accident. thier whole set up is EXACTLY what I was trying to square up in my own head for my own space. Because of the cost of homes and land I was thinking, I may have to build a smaller house in order to get the size of land I want. I thought...maybe I can have one or two separate buildings for an office, but I want the land for growing food. and this set up is perfect for what I had in mind.
Totally love the plywood and concrete mix inside and sliding black barn doors, so sharp...the layout of the deck and the gardens n greenhouse looks very functional with plenty of space to grow...a well thought out mix, love the black, simply beautiful...awesome job!
This is the first time I've "liked" one of your videos before I watched, and I was right. Once again you've nailed it, incredible house, cool people, really cool and the land seems perfect for them. I'm constantly amazed by the creativity that you show your viewers, thanks for bringing us along.
What an absolutely lovely home!!! The garage and studio are amazing. The outdoor is superbly maintained. Just SUPERB. Thank you for showing this fantastic home to us. 🌼🌺💐
This home is soo beautiful! One of my favourites. As a photographer, I loved seeing the studio, I wish we got to see it a lot better. The gardens and compound are also gorgeous!
I LOVE THIS HOME. I would put a second bath in that extra room, or at least a powder room, I mean if I was living there with someone who is always on the loo. I have seen those false wall bedrooms before and always thought it was a supremely clever thing to build. Hide the clutter. Love the size of the kitchen and living room. STELLAR home. i would also swap out all the plywood for white plaster walls, and I would move the laundry into that extra room too. That bathroom is big enough for a soaker tub in addition to the huge shower. GREAT DESIGN!
@@SusanSlattery yep, my hubby has a small office and bath in the house, and it is so convenient! Dont know how families of any size can do with just 1. Maybe there is a bath in that little separate office for her? They did mention wanting to convert it to a guest house.
I heard "It's obviously freezing cold, it's middle of the winter" and it's just so adorable for me - love looking at people in their jumpers, standing on a snowless deck without puffy jackets, hats & gloves, looking at the green backyard and saying "it's freezing cold" :D
this is truly a beautiful self-sufficient home! I love the stone bath! I love their garden to table lifestyle. I love that both of them have a separate space for work and then can come to their home to relax. wonderful!
Thanks Andy! Enjoy your coffee. We are doing great thanks. So nice to be back in the swing of making weekly videos. Planning our first international episodes soon too!
Love this size. This design is lovely. Do hope to see more examples at this size. We're retired and stairs are not an option so something like this, small but not needing a loft, would be so ideal for us. We have 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren, so having space to have them on holiday would be just fabulous. Hoping you'll showcase more of the "minor dwelling" homes!
We moved in retirement, nyc to rural portugal, and reduced our house from 230 square meters to 93. It is so freeing and yet we still remark we have more space than we need. Having a house that reflects your own needs rather than what one has been told what one needs has been wonderful for us. Love the long house and agree with the intentionality of living
Sat with a smile plastered all over my face throughout this video. Hats off to you guys for a, yes, spectacular and unique build.... Yet another winner Bryce & Rasa! Love those 'barn' style doors. They compliment the style of the place.
Great house, very practical layout. Love how the owner let his kid be part of the tour and have such a big influence within the project build. Awesome.
"We are not that rich ..." Well, methinks that they think big and they are rich in ideas and future living solutions. At such a young age, they can have this incredible home, an annex office, and an annex workshop, in a huge lot. They are true entrepreneurs! Congratulations 👏 Thanks Rasa and Bryce for your relentless work about the Tiny House Movement! 🙏
Love seeing a single level home - all too often I see tiny homes that make good use of their vertical height to get more space usage but ignore the access side of things. Not many would be livable with even slight mobility concerns which are so common.
Yes! I also think it's a short-sighted. Of course, many people age well and healthy, but many also develop arthritis and more severe health issues that might make it hard to climb up and down ladders or big stairs. And what if you break a leg or sprain an ankle? I'm just all for the single-level homes!
We really need to reassess just how much space we need. 65sqm was the size of my daughter's 2 bedroom terrace house in Wimbledon! It didn't feel small at all and they had refigured it so that the back was all living/dining/kitchen with large skylights and doors out to their half garden. Our houses are grossly oversized and we don't live in them efficiently.
This house has such a beautiful exterior esthetic! It's about the same size as mine - mine is wider and not as long - but it is such a perfect amount of space. I have my art studio inside mine - but I definitely have greenhouse envy! Another great tiny house video, Bryce and Rasa!
What a gorgeous home! Definitely the biggest tiny home I've seen and yet like all the others, it's the sense of peace and belonging that makes it work so well. It is Exactly what they need. No more, no less. The daily commute across the lawn to her office and to his garage is just perfect. The home itself is used for work. The couple are incredibly happy with life and let's face it too, their dog is Gorgeous 😍 I particularly liked the bedroom where the bedroom is unhindered by furniture and the bed itself backs onto the wardrobe. Such a brilliant design, I've never seen anything like it before. Their perfect home with the garden already producing so much food and work on the doorstep, absolute bliss 💖
This is very close to what I aspire to make one day. Due to the legal gray areas of tiny houses on wheels it would be nice to build something small ish on a foundation that adheres to all building codes
I thought I was looking at a Japanese home from the teaser photo. I see many with a similar style in rural areas though I've no idea what they look like inside. Love the lot size and set-up.
The outside land is beautiful. I love the garden area. I was raised in a 5000 sq. Ft home and it was just too big. The thing about tiny homes to me that makes it exciting is the coziness of homes and that if you have a partner or children you are forced to be with each other, not running off to hide in another wing of the home. My goal is to get an acre of land and build a retirement Small Home (not tiny) for my hubby and I and to have a garden like this one. It would be a tiny home but no lofts or stairs. It would be the size of small apt but just planned out space that just uses all the space from top to bottom. Can’t wait!
To be honest, when you take the studio and the garage into account, it's hard to call it "tiny" or even "small" house living....But, it's still a beautiful home!
In real estate, you don't count the garage space in a house's square footage. (In the US, anyway.) Adding the studio to it still puts the house at about 800 sq. ft., so I say it is a small house! It's just big enough for 2 people, imho.
I love the layout but I agree with you. Plywood?? Mentally, it’s just not a soothing look. The unpainted concrete and the plywood are overwhelming dry of emotions. Very sterile imo.
Such a beautiful tiny home Bryce and a lovely couple, the design is so wonderful and the wood is beautiful. I love how this couple have designed the spaces with storage and beautiful looking cabinets and everything else, that bedroom is so amazing. This is a beautiful tiny home and I thank you Bryce and Rasa, I hope your week ahead is great, sending love and hugs. bye for now. 😂🥰🤗💜
Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues well above the Fed's 2% objective. I'm trying to build a portfolio of at least $850k by the time I'm 60, therefore I need suggestions on what investments to make.
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.
@@obodoaghahenry9297 I happen to know "Julie Anne Hoover. She has been my fin coach since 2018, no major losses has been recorded. Totally recommend her too.
@@marcelrobert9569 Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
I'm not a fan of the plywood. It makes it look like the house is still under construction. Also, dust floating through the house will manage to stick to the rough, unfinished surface of the plywood. Every year or two, you'll need to vacuum the plywood walls and ceilings. Good luck with that.
I’ve always been a huge fan of Scandinavian design and it was so cool to visit this longhouse inspired home. I think there are many people out there who love the idea of a tiny house, but just want a little more space and designs like this are perfect for that. We hope you enjoy the tour!

Wow, it is so cool
I’m living in Stockholm, Sweden and basically almost all of us love these 100-400 year old homes. It’s really the Danish who started making lots of these longhouses. Most common for the farmers.
Love From India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Hope you can include floor plans like you did here for the other homes you'll feature! 😀
I’d move into a house like this tomorrow!! Absolutely gorgeous…. It’s small but not cramped in anyway. Love it.
Lots of love to you both Bryce & Rasa xx
i feel like 'tiny homes' has evolved beyond just the size of the home. it's the consciousness that you have about how much space you take up, consume, making it more sustainable. a mindset reset of what is means to live comfortably, healthily, and happily. so this is a tiny home for me. ♥
Exactly! Well said!
I love the lifestyle more than the size of the house for sure
Needs solar panels on the roof of all the structures, if they want to be sustainable and reduce their footprint.
I love the pets.
anyone can look around in their own house to see how much wasted volume there is. Tiny is about how you use the volume, not just the floor space.
@@TommiHonkonen the floor plan is a huge part of it. If the walls aren’t placed properly to maximize space you end up losing it.
More homes like this would be nice just too show that people can still have a larger but still small modern home to live in.
You also have to consider that shop and the backyard studio as part of the house, so the home isn't really small at all.
Yes!! Please do more of these, Bryce!!
@@scratchy996 I agree with you. Lovely set up but a massive garden as well. Beautifully done but privilaged.
This thought is originally used in INDIA from million years।
🤔 we Indian till 1900 lives in saprate house small but enough house in group called villeges।
🤔 25 crore to 50 crore INDIAN are living here from ancient time।
Like 5500 years ago there was more than 70 crore INDIAN। but then PAK BANGLADESH AFGANISTAN and some other was part of INDIA
🤔🤔🤔
i am saying that concept of making huge city is a big problem itself for nature and economy also।
🤔🤔 Look at Delhi City it expanded after 1900 and that time river YAMUNA was drinkable, but due to govt careless it become gutter।
🤔 Second one look out China's modern cities contain world class building 20 floors, 100-100 building group and road good infrastructure। 😭 But sadly there is no job no business Chinese buy it on paper live it in on paper sell it on paper।
They are just tool।
🤔At last everyone come to accept Indian philosophy 😀
🙏🙏🙏
in my view almost all people should have same category house same size and technology, otherwise it make insecurity to other।
🤔🤔🤔 Today poor people are trying hard to work for paying rent and emi of home 🤔 why they purchase house bigger than savings i don't know।।
Luv the total concept well done folks.
I would LOVE to see more of the small homes incorporated with the tiny homes you normally show.
This is the closest I've seen shown to what I would build. Just a bit bigger than tiny, but comfortable and all of it gets used. Love the style too.
After thinking about it for a minute, I thought that this size would be perfect, but these folks are really talented and I love their sense of taste.
Same for me, I think most people could be very happy with a 'small house' but maybe short of 'tiny'
It's somewhat between a cabin and a family home. I imagine it has the capacity to be expanded if needed.
Was thinking the same until seeing the inside. The layout of the property with the garage workspace and the atelier, the beautiful concrete terrace and stone hot tub and the Scandinavian look of the house exterior were inspiring. But the inside with all the bland plywood doesn't quite live up to the outside of the house.
Totally. I feel like this opens the door to consumers that feel "traditional" home sizes are what they should look for. This is super approachable for almost anyone.
As an introvert who needs quiet time by myself, I love that they both have their own spaces with the studio and garage
This is it! A normal house is too much mortgage and a Tiny House is all about concessions. This house is what you get when you meet in the middle! No unnecessary spaces and no concessions on a quality living! This would be a perfect design for me! ❤️
but still costing 200K without the amenities... you could build a dual living home for a bit more and get an income and you have flexibilit.. where this is a big shed for 200k......that he did half of it himself?
Such a lovely home. imagine how big our backyards would be if we only built a home the size that we needed. Love the fireplace too.
So true 🤩
The fireplace is a Pyroclassic Mini. They are very efficient. I've had the bigger version at home for the last 10 years. Excellent wood burners.
unless you keep your dogs in the house like most of us do haha
Love the simple, restful, joy filled life they have created together through making deliberate, simple choices. The design and materials create such calmness and warmth. Thank you for sharing this home with us.

I would rent that of you in a heartbeat if I lived in your country and was possible, you are very lucky to have a property like that with twelve acres of I'm sure beautiful land.
@ZENJI GAMING It's the smallest lot in town. Most are 25-35 acres. Some are 100 acres. We keep it as woodlands to offset carbon emissions. It's in a town with no business, nearest store (gas station) is 15 minute drive, it has no traffic lights and nobody who wants to live there except those who want privacy. Lots are typically on the market for a few years before they're sold, so if you want to move there and build a place to live, check realtor sites.
Good on you both for recording these places, there must be many who are over having to stay on the work conveyor to pay for more space than they need, and who use a lot of their own time to clean and titivate more space than they need. I'm with Heidi with the realization that a smaller, neater home means more time (and money) to live the life you choose.
Love it. I am so happy to see a small house vs the tiny house.
Me too.
Now this is up my vibe.
Just that bit more practical long term
Definitely would like to see more small homes/cottages.
Agreed. It's got everything you need and just got rid of all the unnecessary space from a normal house. A practical "tiny" house.
Me too.
Thanks to Heidi and Matt for sharing their lovely home with us! I love the design and the set up that they have. Being debt free within a decade is such a dream.

Agreed, I would definitely need a home more like this, or separate building like her office, because being alone is pretty important for my mental health and you can't get that in a true tiny house
Separate half-sized residences are preferred 2 to 1. Using divorce rates as the indicator.
LOVE the size of this house! I totally get what they were saying about living in 1/3rd of their previous home. I wish there were more homes built to this size these days. I know in the USA our median home size is like 221 square meters & unless you're a large family you don't really need that much space. LOVE that kitchen, funny that it's bigger than their previous ones. I'd say my favorite part is those gardens! How lovely!
I agree, but as someone in the USA who wishes they could downsize, I couldn't sell my home and build one half the size with the money; I think fundamentally we need to invest more in making this smaller home living a financially practical option. This home is lovely but I from I don't think it came cheap.
@@mattao18 and in addition, regardless of financials, that'd be if a smaller dwelling is even permissible to be built : ( a lot of towns these days have a minimum home and lot size. I know in my home town you can buy a home for under 100k, but there's no way you could build one for that.
Well, I noticed that the house doesn't have any AC, it will not work in most U.S regions. I'm thinking about converting my barn into this kind of house.
I'm in the UK, I'd like a smaller house, but while we have in the past built small homes, people have bought and extended.
You can't occupy more than one room. Eat, Sleep, Work. & Bathe/Shit. Multi-Purpose Room. You occupy 15 square feet of space at the most. If you have a relatively small 1500sq ft house for 2 people, you could downsize 98%. People waste too much energy heating and cooling unused areas. Probably 1/4 to 1/3 of energy used for heating and cooling is used for unoccupied space. If people had human powered generators, they would appreciate how much energy is needed for heating and cooling. They wouldn't stare into the refrigerator with the door open for very long.
As a wheelchair user i absolutely love this design. It would be easy to make it accessible and it doesn’t feel claustrophobic especially when you spent most of your day inside...
Another beautiful masterpiece😍
Well this isn't really a tiny house however its a small, beautiful, cleverly designed, small house. The design and setup has focused on essential elements, no unnecessary rooms, furnitures, clutter. They have so much open space left for gardening and outdoor activities. And love the small cabins for office/ studio and garage/ workshop. The small garden greenhouses are also beautiful 😍
Overall, a very beautiful, cozy and smart house they've got👏🏻
Certainly not tiny or portable. My father was one of six kids who grew up in a house smaller than 700 ft2. Then he built large houses for 50 years.
@@melaniecotterell8263 yes, definitely not at all tiny nor portable but better than those gigantic villas in their neighborhood.. I agree if it was portable, then it would've been better but some prefer permanent dwelling and its a LOT better in that category!
yes, but most people can't really live in a tiny home long-term. and the majority of people don't really need it to be portable - you've got to have somewhere to put it, land is the most expensive and difficult thing, not the building. Well designed small houses (esp terraces, townhouses, apartments) are where the future of housing should be imo.
@@trishna_6815 yes! I'm a fan of permanent establishments with open area around, balcony, garden and a terrace as well. However, I think its great to have smaller houses. It reduces wastage of resources, hoarding, clutter, etc.
I look at is as an exchange of time. Rather than work to pay for a larger home that they don't use, they exchanged it for a home that is used fully and frees up time to invest in the things that are meaningful to their entire life - hobbies, health, etc.
Magnificent! I loved everything about it! Also, I'm a psychotherapist and could just see myself in Heidi's studio! Thank you all for sharing this lovely home with us
Houses like that could put you out of business. Therapeutic homes. The setting is therapeutic.
The house makes it warm & cozy, without detracting therapy points.
Painting ‘fake marble’ is a special, old craft, or art - and held in high esteem. You’re lucky to have a friend who is a master painter.
It actually Formica, which is a printed laminate, but it does look great.
I so enjoy every episode of Living Big in Tiny Houses. I can't wait to the next one. This was a fantastic home.
Such a lovely home. Well designed and seemingly syncs well with their lifestyle. I too appreciate the Scandi style. Akin to the Japanese aesthetic.
What’s Scandinavian about it? I live in Norway.
What a beautiful home they've created! It feels refreshing, welcoming, safe, and happy. Please ask them for an update visit in a few years when their orchard is grown. I'm sure it will be even more spectacular in the future.
Though I love looking at tiny homes I don't think they're truly suitable for everyone but something along the lines of this gorgeous home and gardens seems like something much more practical to a wide range of people. I think a big part of it is that the home is thoroughly planned around the needs of those living in it. It definitely allows for a much more efficient use of space and materials.
I love the simple Scandinavian inspired style in this home, it's so gentle and welcoming. And that bath on the deck is awesome! I'd be enjoying it summer and winter evenings both :)
And no climbing up narrow or awkward steps/staircases with the resulting cramped headroom upstairs...
That is just a WOW house. What a lovely couple, you can really tell that they love and respect one another. Scandinavian design is probably one of my top two favorites, this is an exemplary example. Great video.
This is the closest I've seen yet to what I envision: small main house, workshop, and a separate workspace. Plus the garden! Absolutely love it.
What an amazing home! This is the perfect size. This style of home and size of land is something I hope to have one day. They’ve done an incredible job with the house and landscaping. Great video mate 😊
Such a fabulous and needed idea of showing “Almost Tiny Home” I saw a an older lady who had a tiny home, but had no stairs or loft. She created her forever home.. smart and loved that, (perfect idea for my 75 yr. old mom… she would love this)!!
But this is perfect!!!
This home is an awesome realistic design that really fits and checks all the boxes, without excessive and unnecessary consumption of energy and space. Kudos for caring about future generations with such style and great taste!
Please showcase more “Almost Tiny Home” love 💗 this!!!
This is a very nice house with an incredible yard. I would be thrilled to live in this home.
Thrilled rhymes with billed and killed. Don't get any big ideas.
Such a sweet couple. This one is in my top five. Beautiful lifetime home. Neighbours are lucky to have such an elegant home to look at!!
I love the tiny houses, but here in Austria they are close to impossible with our building laws. So this house is really inspiring. I hope to see some more from time to time.
same in Sweden we need a minimum size so a tiny one wouldn't make it but a small house is possible :)
it varies depending on county/etc but generally anything under 80 square meters is near impossible, some accept 60-70 so it depends. Might as well make it a solid 100 square meters before applying for construction.
Same in Portugal . But you ways to do it.
Same in UK
In Norway actually there is a process going on to create building codes for 'mini houses', as of 2022
@@_TrueDesire_ what about summer houses?
100m2 is quite a lot for just 2 people
Beautiful 😊 🌻 and with the nice 1/2 acre lot, it lends that much more. What dreams are made of 🌌🌟
That is one of the best showers I've seen in any home; apartment, RV, house, large mansion....any type of housing. The rest of the house is awesome too. I like the extras (The Shed, Studio, and Garden), they are a bonus. I could live here.
Lovely house I’m envious of the large flat block of land for their garden 😃
I didn't get 40 acres or a mule. America. We stole it fair & square. Kiwis are lucky SOBs No immigrants in a beautiful, isolated place. No Karens. No MSNBC. No mail in voting. Christchurch, NZ. People with occupations. They have to travel to see how good they have it.
Wow! This could easily be my favourite tiny house I have seen on this channel! I love the nordic look and feel to it! Everything is so tidy and clean on the land! The vegie garden is so neat and tidy and clean! Love it!
💯‼️ Agreed. This “Almost Tiny” speaks to me. NOT cutting out what you need and/or want, but this home is definitely NOT including unnecessary excessive space and energy. Favorite by far.
I hope more “ Almost Tiny” is showcased more. I’m noticing the tiny homes that are built with a locked foundation (no intention to move the home) speaks directly to me. I would just build on land that I owned… because the level of options that you can have keeping it off wheels is endless. Great home, great job showcasing this lovely home.
I was going to ask for compact homes. And you came through! Even without all the outside stuff, this is a very livable space for those us who want living with little effort! Thanks!
Thanks! Great production.
Thank you!
Love it!__especially, that it's on a large enough lot for various gardens and separate work areas! I also like that you provided a schematic view. Thanks for this lovely tour. 💖🙌😺
Wow this is a true dream set up! It’s exactly what my husband and I want. A small home, separate studio for me to use as a music studio, a huge shed, room for veges, and a big flat fenced block for puppies! With such a big block I’d also set up a tiny house in the other corner to use as guest accommodation! It’s absolutely perfect! ❤
Really inspiring couple. I appreciate that they have built such a space where they can live their best lives. I also appreciate how they never mentioned having human children; I think it's important to show that not everyone wants/has to have a human child in order to experience joy, wonder, contentment, or gratefulness. Both of them appear fulfilled with their 4 unit family. :) The dog and rabbit made my heart warm.
I love these upsized 'tiny' homes, which are far more comfortable and practical than the usual tiny home designs, but still not obnoxiously large like most homes today. This is a 'right sized' home for someone who likes to entertain guests. I love the Scandinavian inspired design and the black and tan exterior, it's modern, minimal and just clean. Also, I love the fact that they didn't sacrifice garage/shop space. As a car enthusiast and DIYer myself, this would be a must for me. Beautiful homestead that's right up my alley, well done!
Everything is beautiful especially the Bathtub, landscaping & how the vegetable garden is really nice and peaceful.
This is a dream tiny home for me! Beautiful finishes and details. A huge shop/garage for my hubby to tinker in. A studio of my own to create art in. Gardens for growing yummy food. Lots of outdoor space. Indoor space to store home-canned goods. Maybe we were meant, as humans, to have separate dwellings, small in size, so we could get away from each other and then connect when we felt like it. Katherine Hepburn said something like….couples should buy separate houses and live next door to each other. I have ALWAYS ascribed to that sentiment. After 37 years, happy to see hubby…and then happy to have time apart. This is a win!
Such a beautiful space.
This is actually nice. Not too small not too big just perfect
Definitely one of my favorite homes you've showed here. It's spacious and clever -- especially with that wardrobe behind the bed. I like that.
Also --- the separation between their office and their main house. Yes!!!
In my youth I had very cool Scandinavian furniture and dreamed of a proper home for it. They have built it. I love ❤️ everything about this house. My spirit was in flight on this tour. The gardens, hot tub, and fireplace are pure magic. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful home and lovely couple.
Lovely home and grounds. I think it is a perfect home as a forever home. We have our forever home also. What I see is that you've made it accommodating for aging, with the exception of the stairs on the exterior. What I love is that once your gardens are fully established it is going to be a Wow home. It looks well thought-out and lovingly accomplished. Congratulations!
I am so glad I ran across this video by accident. thier whole set up is EXACTLY what I was trying to square up in my own head for my own space. Because of the cost of homes and land I was thinking, I may have to build a smaller house in order to get the size of land I want. I thought...maybe I can have one or two separate buildings for an office, but I want the land for growing food. and this set up is perfect for what I had in mind.
Totally love the plywood and concrete mix inside and sliding black barn doors, so sharp...the layout of the deck and the gardens n greenhouse looks very functional with plenty of space to grow...a well thought out mix, love the black, simply beautiful...awesome job!
Any chance you know the name of the black metallic material?
I been waiting for this moment all my my life. Oh lord. 🎶 I am obsessed with Vikings era.
This is the first time I've "liked" one of your videos before I watched, and I was right. Once again you've nailed it, incredible house, cool people, really cool and the land seems perfect for them. I'm constantly amazed by the creativity that you show your viewers, thanks for bringing us along.
This really shows that a small home can really work, but the land size (and shed!!) totally fulfill the dream.
What an absolutely lovely home!!! The garage and studio are amazing. The outdoor is superbly maintained. Just SUPERB. Thank you for showing this fantastic home to us. 🌼🌺💐
I love this. Bigger than a tiny house, but still small. Nice outbuildings... One of my favorites.
This home is soo beautiful! One of my favourites. As a photographer, I loved seeing the studio, I wish we got to see it a lot better. The gardens and compound are also gorgeous!
This is the most realistic size for a lot of people. I love it
I LOVE THIS HOME. I would put a second bath in that extra room, or at least a powder room, I mean if I was living there with someone who is always on the loo. I have seen those false wall bedrooms before and always thought it was a supremely clever thing to build. Hide the clutter. Love the size of the kitchen and living room. STELLAR home. i would also swap out all the plywood for white plaster walls, and I would move the laundry into that extra room too. That bathroom is big enough for a soaker tub in addition to the huge shower. GREAT DESIGN!
Or just separate the shower and toilet, so 2 can use it w/o bothering each other.
@@seedsoflove7684 I share one bathroom with spouse currently. We both fight over who gets the toilet, for crying out loud.
@@SusanSlattery yep, my hubby has a small office and bath in the house, and it is so convenient! Dont know how families of any size can do with just 1. Maybe there is a bath in that little separate office for her? They did mention wanting to convert it to a guest house.
@@SusanSlattery i think all houses should have shower and toilet separated, so helpful.
I heard "It's obviously freezing cold, it's middle of the winter" and it's just so adorable for me - love looking at people in their jumpers, standing on a snowless deck without puffy jackets, hats & gloves, looking at the green backyard and saying "it's freezing cold" :D
😂
Would love to see more homes like this on your channel! Great comfortable size
this is truly a beautiful self-sufficient home! I love the stone bath! I love their garden to table lifestyle. I love that both of them have a separate space for work and then can come to their home to relax. wonderful!
Love Scandinavian designs. I'll go put the coffee on 👍 hope you are both doing well ❤️
Thanks Andy! Enjoy your coffee. We are doing great thanks. So nice to be back in the swing of making weekly videos. Planning our first international episodes soon too!
@@livingbig always enjoyed your US trips, especially.the Pacific north west.
Beautiful home, lovely compound, amazing extended work spaces for the couple. I love how it's well planned. Well done to the owners and Bryce.
Love this size. This design is lovely. Do hope to see more examples at this size. We're retired and stairs are not an option so something like this, small but not needing a loft, would be so ideal for us. We have 4 grown children and 7 grandchildren, so having space to have them on holiday would be just fabulous. Hoping you'll showcase more of the "minor dwelling" homes!
We moved in retirement, nyc to rural portugal, and reduced our house from 230 square meters to 93. It is so freeing and yet we still remark we have more space than we need. Having a house that reflects your own needs rather than what one has been told what one needs has been wonderful for us. Love the long house and agree with the intentionality of living
Sat with a smile plastered all over my face throughout this video. Hats off to you guys for a, yes, spectacular and unique build.... Yet another winner Bryce & Rasa! Love those 'barn' style doors. They compliment the style of the place.
Great house, very practical layout. Love how the owner let his kid be part of the tour and have such a big influence within the project build. Awesome.
"We are not that rich ..." Well, methinks that they think big and they are rich in ideas and future living solutions. At such a young age, they can have this incredible home, an annex office, and an annex workshop, in a huge lot. They are true entrepreneurs! Congratulations 👏
Thanks Rasa and Bryce for your relentless work about the Tiny House Movement! 🙏
Scandinavian style is fresh clean and modern. love that style
Am one of the first to watch and excited for the house adventure
Wow this is not a tiny house, is a whole mansion! So cool!
Love seeing a single level home - all too often I see tiny homes that make good use of their vertical height to get more space usage but ignore the access side of things. Not many would be livable with even slight mobility concerns which are so common.
Yes! I also think it's a short-sighted. Of course, many people age well and healthy, but many also develop arthritis and more severe health issues that might make it hard to climb up and down ladders or big stairs. And what if you break a leg or sprain an ankle? I'm just all for the single-level homes!
I loved this! The point of tiny/small homes is to fit your individual lifestyle and needs and this home perfectly reflects that!
We really need to reassess just how much space we need. 65sqm was the size of my daughter's 2 bedroom terrace house in Wimbledon! It didn't feel small at all and they had refigured it so that the back was all living/dining/kitchen with large skylights and doors out to their half garden. Our houses are grossly oversized and we don't live in them efficiently.
Amazing!! I love it!
This house has such a beautiful exterior esthetic! It's about the same size as mine - mine is wider and not as long - but it is such a perfect amount of space. I have my art studio inside mine - but I definitely have greenhouse envy! Another great tiny house video, Bryce and Rasa!
What a gorgeous home! Definitely the biggest tiny home I've seen and yet like all the others, it's the sense of peace and belonging that makes it work so well. It is Exactly what they need. No more, no less. The daily commute across the lawn to her office and to his garage is just perfect. The home itself is used for work. The couple are incredibly happy with life and let's face it too, their dog is Gorgeous 😍 I particularly liked the bedroom where the bedroom is unhindered by furniture and the bed itself backs onto the wardrobe. Such a brilliant design, I've never seen anything like it before. Their perfect home with the garden already producing so much food and work on the doorstep, absolute bliss 💖
This is very close to what I aspire to make one day. Due to the legal gray areas of tiny houses on wheels it would be nice to build something small ish on a foundation that adheres to all building codes
I'm thinking the same. I'd rather maximize use of space instead of maximizing space for use
So far this is my best layout but mostly because of the gardens and the wooden interior
I have small house envy! Delightful couple. May they be blessed in their beautiful home.
Beautiful and cozy!
I thought I was looking at a Japanese home from the teaser photo. I see many with a similar style in rural areas though I've no idea what they look like inside. Love the lot size and set-up.
Love this!
Sorry. But und have to add these comment: Matt looks like a viking swordsman . 🤪
Thank you for these really nice house.
that property is amazing. Doesn't feel like a tiny home, more like a minimalist with a great yard!
The solution to the worlds problems is building a home you can afford and getting food from Mother Earth 🌍
The outside land is beautiful. I love the garden area. I was raised in a 5000 sq. Ft home and it was just too big. The thing about tiny homes to me that makes it exciting is the coziness of homes and that if you have a partner or children you are forced to be with each other, not running off to hide in another wing of the home. My goal is to get an acre of land and build a retirement Small Home (not tiny) for my hubby and I and to have a garden like this one. It would be a tiny home but no lofts or stairs. It would be the size of small apt but just planned out space that just uses all the space from top to bottom. Can’t wait!
To be honest, when you take the studio and the garage into account, it's hard to call it "tiny" or even "small" house living....But, it's still a beautiful home!
That’s what I was thinking.. lol! It’s lovely but they have far more square footage than we do & we live in a “regular” house.
Yes I thought that too, but most people wouldn't need the shed if that wasn't their thing. Would be amazing for that bit of extra storage space tho.
In real estate, you don't count the garage space in a house's square footage. (In the US, anyway.) Adding the studio to it still puts the house at about 800 sq. ft., so I say it is a small house!
It's just big enough for 2 people, imho.
Love it. Not into stairs. Simple, clean, uncomplicated. Love the Longhouse look also, this is great!
Looks like they took a normal size home and split it up around the property. I certainly wouldn't classify this as "living tiny/small"
Exactly!
What cozy and lovely home. Definitely not tiny. But feel so warm and comfy indeed.
House looks great on the outside, but I still don't understand the international appreciation of plywood. Plywood means unfinished. It looks terrible.
I love the layout but I agree with you. Plywood?? Mentally, it’s just not a soothing look. The unpainted concrete and the plywood are overwhelming dry of emotions. Very sterile imo.
I agree! Hate the plywood. At least put some rugs on the concrete floor.
Such a beautiful tiny home Bryce and a lovely couple, the design is so wonderful and the wood is beautiful. I love how this couple have designed the spaces with storage and beautiful looking cabinets and everything else, that bedroom is so amazing. This is a beautiful tiny home and I thank you Bryce and Rasa, I hope your week ahead is great, sending love and hugs. bye for now. 😂🥰🤗💜
Several of the biggest market experts have been voicing their opinions on exactly how awful they think the next downturn would be, and how far equities may have to go, as recession draws closer and inflation continues well above the Fed's 2% objective. I'm trying to build a portfolio of at least $850k by the time I'm 60, therefore I need suggestions on what investments to make.
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I've been in touch with a financial analyst ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.

Home well built, but wish they were interior designers. Do love the exterior of the home though.
Yes the interior finish looks like a garage.
What a massive backyard space, imagine how happy their dog can be when playing and running all around
Where's the tiny?
Love the simplicity of the design and walk around wardrobe, perfect.
I'm not a fan of the plywood. It makes it look like the house is still under construction. Also, dust floating through the house will manage to stick to the rough, unfinished surface of the plywood. Every year or two, you'll need to vacuum the plywood walls and ceilings. Good luck with that.
