    Well done! It is absolutely beautiful. I've seen so many poorly done, cheap looking or worse-chaotic looking Tiny Homes, but this is stunning. Your attention to detail is awesome. If only I hit the lottery tonight❤️. Are you going to build more of these homes to sell? I surely hope so. Mathieu, you're a master designer and builder!

    The man and the home are both beautiful! Well done! Thank you for sharing. I love the minimalist design. The cherry/cedar wood is stunning. The interior design is flawless and very functional. I love the windows because it lets you gaze at the beautiful woods outdoors. I mean what else could you ask for? All it needs is an adorable little cat to greet you at the entrance. This kind of minimalist home is why I fell in love with tiny homes. I personally would put it on a foundation and on a .5 acre lot for my cats to roam. I need my home on foundation in tornado alley. Lovely video! I currently own a normal 3 bd, 2ba, which I love, but I like tiny too.

    Your color and material choice on the exterior is perfect. The interior is perfect as well because it doesn’t lock the owner into a specific configuration. I like how you kept most of the design open, which will allow them to move things around if they want. You have a bright future ahead of you!

    The alternating cedar and black, cedar and white, makes this really lovely but that FEATURE WALL is absolutely stunning! I love the black window trim against the cedar. Really nice. If there were anything I would change, I would have a taller kitchen window. This one feels a bit cramped, and I would make the bathroom vanity the same width as the sink so it doesn't look top heavy, and adds some more usable storage. Then perhaps switch the toilet and washing machine, ensuring that the washer door opens on the right. Otherwise this is a lovely build.

    Beautiful home Mathieu. I also am concerned with all the big windows and none open you could have condensation in the winter and too hot in the summer. But it depends on your climate and location... like shade, in the open etc.

    It’s always a joy to see the finished product of a passionate and talented carpenter! I fell in love instantly with the interior design using the timber choices and white walls. I would be happy to call this my home but as I’m very short, I would be able to comfortably drop the ceiling in the kitchen to gain 4 or 5 inches more in the loft.
    Overall, it’s a stunning design and clearly built with craftsmanship.❤

    Beautifully, thoughtfully done. This handsome, kindly, resourceful craftsman/ carpenter has a dynamite future. LOving the black framed, large, back window in the livingroom area, loving his instinct for bigger windows, loving the dynamics and feel in kitchen, etc. Mathieu, given what is probably an open, more interesting and magnanimous-in-feel career path, might also want to consider stationary "guest spaces/*shacks." He could really come in, applying all that efficiency and rich craftsmanship into autonomous spaces for grandparents, teens. Something marvelous and creative could be built on smaller or larger properties. In the meanwhile, bravo, and much joy to him however he aims his love of material.

    that is a great floor plan and I love that you put a pantry in the kitchen...I don't know if you are in the U S or not but to be legal here in the U S you have to have a window you can climb out incase of fire downstairs...so the upstairs has to have an Egress window yours looked to small for an adult to get out... I didn't see a fan in the bathroom to let out the steam...also is there an air exchanger ? to let the bad air out and the good air in ...Egress window, air Exchanger and fan in bathrooms are important in a tiny home so no mold forms ... A good thing to have is a mini split that has a built in dehumidifier that really keeps the mold out....the floor plan is one of the best I have seen great thinking .....I forgot to add I am 67 and have bad hips so I would have to have stairs instead of a ladder ..

    As I will not be travelling I will build it on foundation with a deck and a little garden. ❤

    Beautiful tiny house design! And so well executed! If you wanted a shower, you could have used Muraluxe panels and then your shower would have been lighter than the bathtub. There are so many beautiful Muraluxe panels and I think they can even print your own design on them now. My grandfather’s surname was Ouellet. It was changed to Willet in the States, but family history is all Ouellet or Ouellette and other variations, plus LaPointe and Levesque. As far as I can tell, the Ouellets trace back to New Brunswick in the mid 1700s. I haven’t yet been able to go further back than that.

    Congratulations Mathieu on your first tiny home build. Keeping the colour palette neutral will certainly help attract more buyer so they can easily customize to their own desires. I do have a concern about the amount of closet space for clothing -- is there any beyond atop of the washer/dryer? Aside from addressing the storage it is close to perfect and a well thought out design. Best wishes on your future success in carpentry.

      @nakulah 9 місяців тому

      We actually went for just a mineral oil finish, it won't provide much protection for the wood, but it is food safe, and easy to reapply, you can also top the mineral oil with a butcher block conditioner which has waxes that will offer some mild protection. The other option we had was a polyurethane spray finish, which would've been more durable, but once it starts to look rough, you would need to completely strip and refinish which would be very labor intensive.
