- Опубліковано 30 вер 2024
- Affordable prefab homes are something a lot of people are looking for these days but they're getting harder to find. Prices and wait times have increased from a lot of companies but there are still deals available. I recently came across a company building some very cool homes with weathered steel exteriors and prices that are on the affordable end of the spectrum. They offer 3 prefab home options starting at 253 square feet and up with the ability to customize your home extensively. The company is called Tini, they're located in Spain and ship their homes globally. In this video I look at the company, their homes and the prices. Watch and learn more about this prefab home company that I think has some of the coolest exteriors available.

Very cool tiny homes!.... curious to know your opinion on the Backyard Workroom tiny homes, its a very interesting idea for tiny homes, they're based in Texas.
In my 20 year experience in architecture, people pronounce it "Core-10" steel. Maybe different in different locations...
Weathered steel & small Sq footage. I’m in.
Great!
What is yours favorit project for U and L shape?
I could watch your Vids all day. The content, the voice, the personality and That Face....Perfect, OK I'm done
Thanks Rhonda!
What Rhonda said
Agreed, here, here!
totally agree. the best and keeps being even more so.
Agreed. I especially love his hair!
Ok, I'm starting to get excited...but manufactured in Spain?
I'm scared that it may be affordable, but shipping to the US?
Cost of shipping most likely will put it out of a reasonable price range.
you never know till you look into it - but given how covid crippled the supply chain your likly right
LIVING in the USA, so imagine it will cost at least 10k to deliver and a few months at a minimum.
Yes, LOVE the weathered steel. Fantastic. I love the idea of a U-shaped bldg that creates a courtyard too! I've had this idea on my mind for some time.
My uncle and aunt built a glass U shaped house in Miami. The middle has a pool and the two ends of the U had the bedrooms. The middle of the U was a glass walkway and then the master/second bedroom/office was on the right wing and the living room And guest room and garage on the left wing. It was THE PERFECT design for heating and cooling and light and then a opposite shaped U driveway. Sadly they had to sell the house but that design is forever imprinted in my mind as the best way to build for privacy too!!
@@Alexandra_Wolf oh sounds fantastic -- show pics if you have them!
@@darkkstar5647 I should find the old listing. Sadly they sold it so I would happily post the address if I find it for you!
Me too✌️✌️✌️
Same! I built a scale model with that configuration. I still want to build it! This is a great base for that.
Currently living off grid just outside of Dallas, Texas! Thanks for sharing these amazing prefabs. Keep up the great work!
Thank you!
Would like to hear from person in Dallas about additional cost, fou dation,septic system, electric going to tiny home. Will you FB me and answer my many questions
Ikea has a Ceiling to Floor Drapery System that is highly rated and aforadable. It would come in handy with a lot of these homes on the Channel.
Thanks I’ll take a look
Florida newest Welfare state of USA Needed them again SOON
I’ve bought off-grid property, so I definitely prefer tiny homes options that can be off-grid.
Hi
I wonder how do you deal with fresh n waste water electricity heat n garbage?
WENT FROM 5KSQ FT 'SILLY CON VALLEY' TO, IN '90, 400SQFT OFF GRID(W/LANDLINE & WIFI), LOVE IT!
Don't call the What's app with phone number. Scammy trolls do that under vids...i was warned by someone who's vids i watch so warning others here.
Off grid on 3 acres. Loving it. Need a house.
Don't call that number in other reply (that says 'What'sapp) ..those are trolls that are very scammy operations..i see them on other vids and where the video maker or presenter in it warns not to reply to them. Sometimes they impersonate the person in video. By the way what state are you in? Maybe someone else is looking in your state or has one is why asking.
“Easy cowboy. That’s too much wood.”
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Great video yet again. Btw Off grid rules. It’s slowly happening here in NYC. It’s probably going to take a long time before it’s viable to all but a few here. 🤷🏻♂️
Even with shipping costs these homes seem to be less per square foot than the companies you've covered based here in the US. Why can't companies in the US be price competitive with Spain?
Not exactly. If you want to add water and electricity it's about $20k more.
@@tixximmi1 Do you mean for off grid options or hook ups?
@@everybodyhasoul5438 Go to there site. It may be for off grid. But that's a very high price for the water harvesting and panels.
@@tixximmi1 still cheaper
@@brandon8751 Not really if you're comparing apples to apples.
Wow. Stylish, affordable and customizable. I think this is going to give Boxabl a run for its money!
Another PreFab that looks great on the webpage but is likely a nightmare to actually live in. With no roof eaves and glass walls these boxes are going to be brutally hot in summer and freezing in winter. The complete lack of privacy will be the last thing on your mind as you try to survive in one of these.
They are energy rated A, so I imagine they are well insulated. Also, built in Spain with free shipping to Portugal so presumably these are their main markets - both countries can get very hot so they wouldn’t sell very well if they are uncomfortable to live in.
some truth in it but with the right orientation (facing north) and some well designed awnings its likely do able - but you do have to adopt a sparten lifestyle and where is the garage?
Steel is pretty non-flammable. I have galvalume walls and ceiling. Even if a cabin is in a clearing, a strong wind can blow burning debris up against it.
one thing these fully glazed designs seem to overlook is heat. Those interiors will become greenhouses in a matter of minutes once the sun is out. The trick is to integrate an awning that keeps it's pure looks. Seems like most want to skip this challengeing design item and just go for the looks over comfort...
your 100% correct - site orientation is a huge deal - it is interesting to see most of these homes are created be designers in northern climates....I wonder why lol. They almost all need to have exterior window covers that prevent direct sunlight from entering the cube. Or they should be calles Sauna1, Sauna2, Sauna3, lol
This is everything. You can use a sliding slatted panel that covers the glass and then when you push it out it creates a privacy screen for something like a balcony or deck.
Of all the designs that you have reviewed - this one is the best! It’s remind me to the Philip Johnson glass house which is some thing I’ve dreamed to build for myself
About sea steel exterior -
Aesthetically it is phenomenally elegant. However I am thinking about the hot temperature in Southern California where Metal is going to be very difficult to counter the air conditioning inside… So perhaps there should be some other exterior coating provided to counter the climate conditions in a warm temperature Regions.
Do they come with any window covering?
A shade inserted into the glass with remote operation would be cool 😎
until they break - ouch - honestly the best is to stop the heat from entering which means an awning - a fold up or retractable awning to also lock up and secure the unit would be a cool option
Window coverings/blinds are an add-on. I don't know what they cost
@@susandurchfort2888 - i studied daylighting in architectural school and bet way to prevent internal heat gain is from external covering. inbetweent he pane solutions are not as good and internal blinds curtains are least effective. I love the clean modern design and extra glass space but as many people have said i too do not want to live in a room that feels like a sauna
One of the things I really like about your channel is the wide range of designs, build strategies, and international focus.
I like this because it SHOULD provide a wakeup call to domestic builders who seem overly focused on prestige styles over price considerations and bluetooth gadgets over off-grid capabilities.
The tiny house/prefab revolution that is going on has very little appetite for six-figure cool. Kerry's channel regularly demonstrates that such builders are behind the curve. USA: are you watching???
Appreciate your comment on all that.
Thanks Lou!
@@KerryTarnow Any information about the sellers Please...
I’ve got corten roofs on my house. Love it. Bombproof heavy gauge 50-yr lifespan, easy install and affordable. The weathered look seems natural, looks good with log walls, fits well in my forested setting. I want to use it as siding on my next (not log) build for looks and practicality-no more painting not never no how!
Is that "artisanal" particle board they are using for the interior walls?
@BiffBuffchest,
More likely, some sort of plywood. 😺
Really like to look for these. Also love watching your videos every week.
Another 50k home, ty! these are the types of videos real people need! Keep making great videos I’ve learned so much and got great ideas from this channel that will affect my life and many others in a good way!
Agree ..he is great at presenting these and all the points he makes and the kinds of options for homes there are...i just love watching and it' s never ever boring even for a minute. He packs so much info in ..in such a short time too ...he must be so dedicated to doing this as well as he does it .
i do think it is a bit misleading on price - as you know and have said in other videos there are site costs and shipping costs, and assembly costs, and permits ( in some cases) . I recommend you do a reality check video on price that talks to these issues and give some/low/med/high estimates on these incremental costs so that people can really walk away with an appreciation of true costs. I know its not sexy and selling the dream but it is a great education
Love these ones. Love the rusted steel exterior. Love the huge windows.
I always wonder where people store their clothes?
As I sit here looking out at the Salish Sea in a 70 year old cabin, I think an H would work best. Allow decks on the waterfront side and another on the sunny side of the building.
haha yes designers often over look things like where do I wash my cloths? where do I put my boots? Where do my kids but their toys? Where is my 50" television screen? Basically to live in most these homes you need to change how you live. Like where is the counter space for my appliances? where is the garage? Is there a laundry? Where do I put my car? Most these designers need a reality check on living life as most people are not monks nor do they have domestic servants to clean up after them all the time. Despite all this it is nice to see the beautiful designes and attention to detail.
I just very recently decided to buy a piece of land and put a small home on it. I am still in the planning stages, doing research, and stumbled upon the Tini home, thanks to this video. Your UA-cam channel is amazing by the way, incredibly helpful and inspiring (funny too, I find myself giggling here and there). Thank you for making these videos! The Tini prefabs are incredible for so many reasons and I am in total awe, but one of the major issues I am coming up against is purchasing something unseen from Europe and having it shipped for probably around $25K to the US. And there are so many other questions: Will the structure hold up in extreme weather? Are the mechanics (solar panels/batteries, etc.) compatible with US regulations? I've contacted Tini directly and hope to get answers to some of my questions. Ultimately, I don't think my worries are solely about Tini homes, but about any kind of modular home in general - because this concept is still so new there just doesn't seem to be enough research to back up the data. Nonetheless, I am seriously considering taking the risk of getting a Tini home since in my mind the pros seem to so obviously outweigh the cons!
Can you send me there contact site and also cost of shipping to USA. 25 grand ? Yes I need answers just like you ! Minnesota
I'm in Australia and that weathered steel looks epic with a native Aussie garden. I go one step further than a U-shaped home - I love the idea of a square (or rectangular) home with a large completely surrounded void courtyard in the centre. I noted that you didn't give dimensions just square footage. As a wheelchair user actual dimensions would be helpful....turning around in a narrow space is the pits:(
I wonder how much it would cost to ship here..Im in Brisbane
I really like the big windows, but to your point - this limits where this type of home can be put in...at least without having some sort of plan for winterization in place. But that being said, as an off-grid option where you have natural privacy, those architectural large windows would be a good aspect and would really provide an open space. I can see this being a big hit. Thanks for highlighting!
the biggest problem is not heat loss - its heat gain. These buildings really need to be oriented correctly or have = exterior shading mechanisms are needed to prevent them from becoming saunas
Very cool house with a reasonable price….thanks for the video Kerry.
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Weathered Cor-ten and massive windows? YES! These are PERFECT for me. Exactly as I planned to build my SC home on my Scottsdale, AZ acreage (before I got lazy and just let it sit). Pricing is fabulous but I question a few aspects of making a successful transaction (like not receiving the item, which has happened a lot to me lately on smaller items). At least with Zenni, we have the in (we are currently fitting their plant and will build the Mesa project soon), so I believe I’ll actually receive the item. Sadly, Zenni isn’t exactly what I want and this is, so 🤷🏻♀️
Love the weathered steel, but I wonder about putting it in climates with snowy winters - is it insulated enough? I suppose having steel walls wouldn't be any colder than having windowed walls ...
its not an issue, i was an architect. Today insulation is not in the exterior material like in adobe or hay bale or log homes. It biggest issue my be heat gain but these are highy designe i am sure they figured it out. Also, for permit approval they need to comply with building codes which have minimum insulation values - so again your covered.
@@frankramirez748 my Mom had a log home/cabin and I'm trying to figure out how to buy it out from my sisters. Log homes have a lot of issues -but I think the good stuff outweighs the cons.
@@ARTIST-AT-LARGE Great good luck, every home is unique and all have pro and con across a host of issues the site, the construction methods, the limits and conditions of the systems. Houses also age and each has a differnet way of aging. Log cabins a great usually for R value of a wall but are notoriously bad for inflitration around seams of windows and doors an even through the top top of the foundation walls or if the logs were place incorrectly or if different logs experinced different rates of shrikage over time. If your log home has been around and inn the family I am sure you know all the issues. Well maintained a log home is picturesque and really awesome experince if heated efficiently. It has a wonderful nostalgia factor. - Best of luck on your venture !

This is ammmmazing can you do an article on median comparing costs of all prefab homes 🏡 and features - you have been so thorough with your research …. Oh and love ya and your channel, keep going -
Thanks for the informative vids. I usually watch to the end. Do you own a prefab home?
LOVE THIS COMPANY! VERY AFFORDABLE AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE STEEL ON THE OUTSIDE WITH THE LIGHT WOOD ON THE INSIDE🤩🤩🤩
A lot of fans of the steel! I wasn’t sure if people would like it. Thanks 🙌🏼
Most under 300 sq ft prefabs are very spartan. They are, to me, cold and uncomfortable looking. However, they have a real purpose in our society. Compared to no home, they are heaven.
I think Europe is doing a much better job of designing tiny/prefab/modular homes than in the US. This is exactly what I'm looking for, but wish it was manufactured in the US. I have a feeling the shipping costs are pretty high...plus there is a wait time for it to be shipped across the ocean.
I'm definitely still considering it, though, because it's such a great house!
let me know if you decide to move forward with it! Would to hear the details
Do u know companies in Europe?
Absolutely love the weathered steel. Exactly what I’ve been looking for. Beautiful.
Cool right?
I'm pretty traditional, but I like the look of that rusty steel. I also like how the interiors look, but I didn't see much storage. I assume there's a closet in the bedroom, but the living area would need a piece of furniture to hold some of your "stuff."
@olga13,
You can always tell when a house (or apartment) has been designed by a man__there's never a 'coat closet' near the entrance! 😱😒
But, is it zombie proof? 😂
Something few mention or take into account is that the private, beautiful, and scenic outdoor space seen in the ad does NOT come with the home ~ you need your own land, and the better it is, the more it costs $$$. Nearly all would-be buyers will be using it in a far more average setting, having close neighbors or other such situations that require the use of window treatments that cancel out the feeling of larger space created by the windows.
That whole-wall window thing? Get shades. And as long as those window-walls are triple pane or have acoustic dampening, and tightly sealed frames. Really like the weathered steel, too.
I’m around 108 yrs old but you make me want to move to Canada. Lol oh and awesome videos and great personality.
Thanks Marla!
I built a house with COR-TEN weathering steel, it still looks beautiful more than 11 years later but there are two issues that shouldn't be ignored: heat and staining. The parts of the building that don't get wet will be very slow to color if at all. It starts out looking like regular steel, then where it gets wet it turns black, and all the water that runs off it drips black and stains everything that the water touches, you guessed it, black. Eventually it takes on that lovely rust coloration but while that transformation is occurring all the concrete under any drip edges will turn black, along with your hands, tools, and work clothes including boot bottoms so you need to really enforce the inside/outside cleaning protocols. I don't know what the black stuff is, but I don't think that I would want it in my food so you probably don't want it to drip onto your vegetable or herb garden. Once it is nice and rusty it can still stain your shirt if you lean on it.
The other main downside is that instead of reflecting heat from the sun, it absorbs it very readily. In some climates that might not be a problem, it might even be good, but here in Portland, OR on a sunny summer day it gets so hot that you can't touch it. Not only can it blister your skin but the housewrap underneath can be damaged, fairly quickly if it is touching, but it can also break down even if you have an air gap so you want to use a vapor/moisture barrier that can withstand heat. The last minor downside is that is is metal and it conducts electricity, so it probably should be grounded.
SOLUTION: LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURAL SERVICES
@@edinstruction2011 Agreed
I was under the impression that living "off the grid" included not having internet. Perhaps there are different levels of grid self-removal?
Yeah I’m not really sure… that would limit comments from people off grid though 😂
Don’t listen to that comment, your pacing is perfect! Not too slow or fast. Too fast gets very annoying. We don’t all have ADD.
Thank you!
To get the look without spending a fortune on heating and cooling I would have the weathered steel attached with 4in spacers. The actual siding structure would be gel-coat and painted fiberglass. When you use metal as siding/skin thermal transfer is huge. Unless the home is shaded most of the day during hot summer months you couldn't be off grid due to the amount of air-conditioning required in most regions with a steel skin. In the winter your heat is lost to the steel frame and skin drawing it out of the interior. During the winter months the steel frame and skin wicks heat from the inside. You best have your own forest and hire someone to harvest fuel from that forest and keep the fire burning all night for you.
Here is a side note about heat transfer..... When I built my house I choose cedar siding painted a boring nondescript white with historical blue trim and doors and a black slate roof. Shortly after moving in I had solar powered exhaust fans installed on six parts of the roof to help reduce heat build up in the attic. They turn on when the temperature reaches 80 in the attic. My AC use was at the time just 3-4 days a summer. My neighbor choose fiber cement siding in a light tan color. They use AC almost everyday during summer despite having a smaller home with less full southern exposure. Five years ago I opted to go rather modern by painting the entire house this historical deep blue-green color with matte black trim, windows, and doors. While my AC use went up 30%in July and August, I am still well under the neighbors AC use. Their AC continues running well into the night because their cement siding continues transferring heat the siding absorbed into their home hours after sundown. Our homes are both 2x6 wood framed with plywood sheathing. While wood framing and sheathing is a low conductor of heat, wood does transfer heat. My point is the siding, roofing type and material, and color of your structure plays almost as big a role in thermal loss/gains as the type of and how much insulation you use. All of these factors should be considered when choosing and siting your new home, or renovations to an existing home.
Cheers.
weathered steel maybe?? my question is usually has anyone successfully ordered from china Mexico etc. actually received the product and was happy with the finished product remember when a contractor ordered drywall from china after hurricane katrina and it all had to be torn out because of the foul egg odor months later scams and throwing up a website anyone can I will pay more from right here in the usa great video as usual!!!!!
Yeah all that glass is good until that bear want to get in your house and crash through it 🤣
Really beautiful and great if you're in Spain, except for the VAT. I got a quote for a 2m - 731 square feet (two minis combined). Base price about $98.5K. Add Corton steel, birch panels, bathroom & kitchen, built-in furniture and heat & air and the cost was around $141.4K. Shipping to US is approximately $25k, import tax, ground transportation...that's closer to $185k...and then there's prep and foundation. I got a response to my inquiry immediately with quotes (valid for 20 days). Lovely company. Impressive designs, but still shopping for something closer to home and bit less expensive. Thx for the video.
Yeah, too much for US buyers, imo.
BTW, thanks for stating the figures. Helpful.
Cortex steel is magic, not harsh. The brilliant artist/ sculptor Richard Serra uses it exclusively and it is warm, the coloration sublime and organic. I sure hope they start manufacturing in the US.
What’s the situation with regard to planning & building refs approval?
Love this one best. And yes, love the weathered steel, looks like cooper in video. Going to research how well these work in the desert, Thanks, appreciate these videos!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed the video
“If you’re watching this and living off grid…” if they’re off grid, they can’t even watch this, for that reason, I’m out
haha
Very nice. Wonder how the transportation cost is like
Love the weathered steel.
Any idea of which countries approve these for use? I live in Australia.
I live off grid in the middle of the rainforest in Australia. With absolutely NOOOOOOOoo building experience have decked out my own shipping containers (Now I have a little experience I would never use shipping containers again, much cheaper just to frame up yourself and way easier to get materials in than huge shipping containers especially in remote locations) I have also done my own solar, water etc. Learned most of what I have done from UA-cam
How is being away from the city going so far😊
I would absolutely have the Corten steal exterior! I love the patina it gets over time and how durable it is! I’d definitely mix in a little board formed concrete. Maybe as part of a deck or planters. A container swimming pool would look amazing with this as well. 10/10
Sturdy
Ditto!
I shape with a outdoor living or a pool or a deck or garden is EVERYTHING. My uncle and aunt built a glass U shaped house in Miami. The middle has a pool and the two ends of the U had the bedrooms. The middle of the U was a glass walkway and then the master/second bedroom/office was on the right wing and the living room And guest room and garage on the left wing. It was THE PERFECT design for heating and cooling and light and then a opposite shaped U driveway. Sadly they had to sell the house but that design is forever imprinted in my mind as the best way to build for privacy too!!
Off grid is the way of our future! Utility companies suck ! Sorry , just my opinion.
Eliminating monthly utility bills does sound very nice
But.....uhm...no because if you break the window you have literally no more house
Haha good point
Oh, and, yes, off-grid please.
One of my favorites! Would like to see more...
I live off-grid. 100% solar. Haven't paid an electric bill in years! I love it.
Thats awesome, congrats!
I'm livin off grid, & lovin it!!!✌
Looks very nice. I think too many windows could be problematic, depending where the house is located. The outside that appears to weather is appealing and less boring. Coming from Europe could be a challenge because all states have their respective building codes. A great option to ponder. Thank you, again, for the time and talent utilized to create this video. BTW, I believe your solar lights addresses the qualifications for living off the grid!
That weathered steel is EPIC eye candy besides making it much more harmonious with nature. Love it.
100%! Thanks for watching
Corten makes sense because it corrodes to a certain extent, then stops. It then acts as weatherproofing.
My husband and I live off grid most of the time. We travel are full time RVers and our fifth-wheel is equipped with solar and a backup generator. Most of the places we camp do not have hookups.
I love the Cotten exterior! Stunning.
Seems you always show the low small house price with the PREMIUM size home photo?? ....QUIT CLICK BAITING ...!!!

Any post or recommendations would be a great help..
Thanks kindly..
Regarding "Off-Grid", we are waiting for the market to shift before buying, however our intent is to be semi-off-grid. Specifically, solar/wind/battery to handle our electricity needs, recycling our food waste/pet food waste into something like a Home Biogas 2 to create gas stove/firepit fuel and fertilizer, and lastly to capture and contain rain water to supplement for growing veggies/gardens. With the current droughts, and the power companies needing to cut power to prevent forest fires instead of upgrading equipment to protect citizens, it just makes sense to have a system you can count on IF you live in a situation that allows it. We also want to incorporate some of the Earthship designs into our home such as re-using sink/shower water to flush toilets and passive heating cooling like termite mounds and ant hills use. Why take water vapor out of the atmosphere with AC causing droughts 'downstream' when a passive more environmentally-friendly (and MUCH cheaper) option exists? Just one example for you.
Been off grid for 13 years. I think we are pretty middle class, not totally extreme, with solar and wind power, water collection, septic system etc. Far too mainstream for my liking, but still have a high pressure health service job so there is only so much energy (personal) available. I don't feel like we are missing anything compared to our friends. We have hot water, TV, computers, a big (eco friendly) freezer, internet etc. etc. some of which I would do without. I loved living in an apartment type section of our shed with a composting toilet and plumbing I did myself, however the local authorities didn't approve. Off grid doesn't have to be a hippy, hermit experience if you spend what you would otherwise connecting to the grid. Just takes more of your time, but generally when it goes off, you can fix it yourself. All about resilience.
Here's the problem Kerry. This is in competition with every trailer park in America. This prefab isn't coming with a grassy landscaped background. This depiction is lovely. It's not going to look like that. It can look like this, add several zeros.
Not legal in most counties/cities in California.
Frustrating as all get. You can live in a 320 s.f. apartment while high rent but you can't live in a stick built 500 s.f. home on your own property.
Planning to be fully off grid in 3 - 6 months and I mean fully. Heat water fuel.It’s not so hard really from the dawn of time until 150 years ago virtually everybodyOn the planet lived off gridMost people Who own a seaworthysailboatI’ll be off grid when they’re out at sea
Now a company that does customizable.. that just might be the ticket, as I don't seem to be able to find exactly what I'd like. Definitely going to check this company out.
Kerry, you are doing a fine job of research and your values are more european than american that often please me but my wallet doesn't agree with most you feature. Not your fault. Do you have specs on the "tini's"? All that glass would not meet energy code in NYS and would be uncomfortable winter and summer. Sad to say. Not wanting to depress us, so I'll sign off for now. Rich
Its a base kit. Of course you can pay for smart glass that turns opaque at flick of switch. Decking\pergola\shutters and awning would be additional in any house. Total agree solar overheating ought to be designed equally as chic and cost effective
Any designs where I don’t feel like an exhibitionist. I personally can’t stand those large windows. I would want more privacy as well as security.
Interesting; but all that glass....tempting to kids with rocks or aggressive birds, little privacy, easily broken in an earthquake. Hate to have to pay to replace the glass. Any models with less glass?
I love the steel. The weathering makes it a true work of art.
I agree!
Love the weathered steel!!
Yes sir absolutely off grid here in the mountains of Colorado!!
Profoundly love the freedom!!!!!
Are there any prefab homes that feature beds that fold up into the wall? I haven't seen that on the channel (that I can remember), but it seems like something that would be extremely helpful in homes trying to efficiently use every sqr ft!
A few studios have Murphy style beds and zennihome has a bed that raises to the ceiling. I agree, great way to multipurpose space
Those windows need to change to opaque with the flip of a switch like in Tokyo street bathrooms so I can walk about with the shlangalongadingdong out and whe wife rokin the tatas… simple fix … cuz I’d feel weird even with a deer staring at it.
Let me get this straight, the 250sft retails for over $50k? That’s $200 a sft, which is more than custom builds cost.
Weaterd Steel cool features. I could see myself living but being I live in the North East of The USA Space is $$$$$
You should discuss the ability of these prefabs to take on North America wheather. How great are the glass windows insulated ? Etc
I am living on 40 acres off grid for the last 12 years and I haven't built my cabin yet .I have been living in an RV for 20 years. and it is 6 miles to payment and the nearest power line is 4 miles as the crow flies
They have gotten to expensive people can buy a regular home for the price you pay for the tiny home ,plus land,foundation, septic,water ,electric, it started out looking attractive until you to start to add up additional cost plus where regulations allow you to put them.
