      So true, at my age I want safety and comfort in the bedroom. When I was younger, the idea of crawling around in a loft was fun. Not now, but a tiny house is still all I need and want to care for and pay for. Beautiful. ONly one thing for me, I would like some more off-grid features as well. The more self-sufficient the better for me. So many options. I really like this company's work.

      I couldn't agree more. I'm short (only 5'2) so when I build my tiny house I plan on lowering the kitchen since I don't need the height so I can actually walk up into my room and have it function as a regular bedroom. The idea of crawling or bending over into my room is off putting. The same with having to climb up and down a ladder everyday.. no thank you 👀

    I think the builder has got it right, this is definitely one for the older folks looking to downsize. It's got all the convenience and ease of access while keeping the size small enough to require little maintenance.
    Not to mention at 96k most millennials like myself can't afford this without going further in debt. It's a nice house for a different market, could definitely see my parents downsizing into one of these.

    I love the bedroom stairs; completely aging-person-friendly! It's under 400 ft 2, so I guess it still qualifies as a tiny home but is wonderfully spacious and non-claustrophobic. Thanks for posting this one!

      Johnya Morgan I love the height of the ceilings in this fifth wheel tiny home. Most my husband and I have looked at had low low ceilings especially in the loft bedrooms. Crawling to get into and out of bed is unappealing at our ages not to mention the various ladders, or narrow stairs to get into the bedroom where one has to immediately drop to your knees. The full height bedroom in this one plus the full size bathroom is terrific for older people. Great design that we could personalize with our taste to give it a more homey feeling. I do like the larger kitchen in this one also. I love cooking and baking which I could do so well in this kitchen. Adding a comfortable sleeper sofa in the living area would allow us to have 2-3 grandkids stay with us on our trips to various locations.

    There are too many complaints about how this is so much more "commercial" than other houses Bryce usually shows. I felt a little bit of lack too, but it isn't the house itself, it's because Bryce usually shows homes that are inhabited. In fact many houses he shows are just as large as this (or close), just as expensive, and are built by a professional rather than by the owner. The real reason most of Bryce's other videos feel more satisfying is that there is no owner interview in this one. It feels more personal when we get to "meet" the residents, see their finishing touches, and hear from them how the home works daily. This particular house is still a sleeping beauty waiting to be awakened by its resident(s). It isn't fair to hate on this house or its builder or its owner. Apparently the owner wasn't available and Bryce felt the builder deserved to be heard, which is true. This video is still worth watching and still gets my like.

      more and more are moving into the tiny home movement, this video is great that it mentions the commercial side of tiny homes. Let's face it a lot of us do not have hands on or construction skills, and a lot will have to go to these outfits that will do it for us. knowing that if you are prepared to pay a high price for a tiny home means there's hope for those wanting to go in this direction of getting a tiny home.

    • @JQMurrell
      @JQMurrell 6 років тому +47

      Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with commercializing the structure of a tiny home. If you're planning on putting one of these on the road, there needs to be some sort of Regulation as far as safety component, just like in a regular vehicle. They're very smart about how they went about building this one. And just like any other house, it is up to the owner to personalize the design and the interior. So if any other tiny homeowner were to buy it, they're buying the structure, and personalizing the inside like anything else. And like any other tiny house or home, they can get with the builder to personalize exactly what is on the inside of the structure. So I don't see anything wrong with it. I think it's brilliant!
      Also, he's right to take into consideration people who have various needs as far as not being able to use a ladder or crouch in a small Loft area. It doesn't seem as though there are a lot of tiny homes that take those things into consideration. So it limits the crowd that they're available too.
      Well done on this!

      If I wanted a tiny house, I wouldn't be capable of doing it myself. I'm sure that I'm not the only person in that situation. So, it's good that builders and others with relevant skills are creating businesses to fill a gap in the market.

    • @andreaandrea6716
      @andreaandrea6716 5 років тому +13

      Sorry. Wrong. The dark wood accents on the walls and around the windows actually make the space feel smaller and cramped. There are a LOT of design mistakes here that an architect, or someone who knows Interior Design / has studied Art would not have let happen. It's a shame because it COULD HAVE BEEN so much better. It is so obviously a Construction house, built by someone who knows Construction BUT NOT GOOD DESIGN. Believe me. I live in a house that is badly designed. It MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

    This is so lovely. If a government took over a tiny house project to provide housing for the homeless in a country like India (where I currently live), they could definitely put a dent in the number of homeless on the street.
    On a brighter note, I am totally going to build a tiny house like this for my parents when they retire and put it behind my house :)

    • @randzopyr1038
      @randzopyr1038 7 років тому +30

      These are so expensive I highly doubt that the government would be willing to invest in such a project. I do know there are people looking at different inexpensive alternatives, but the extremely poor people aren't interested in an engineered earthen home, even if it is well-made, because to them it doesn't look like progress.
      They're looking at shipping containers or something similarly prefabbed that could be assembled and anchored easily to handle the weather, with simple accommodations like a small solar panel and battery, with a light or two and a fan.

    • @v3nnicat
      @v3nnicat 7 років тому +40

      Rand Zopyr the homeless here tend to move around alot so a simple tiny house on wheels would be perfect. I'm not talking about something as fancy as these but an option where they don't have to sleep on sidewalks :)

    • @ZeoCyberG
      @ZeoCyberG 7 років тому +26

      Rand Zpoyr, there's a wide range of price points for Tiny Houses...
      More basic designs made for temperate climates can be made for a lot less... Especially, if you go really small...
      Some of the models made for the homeless here in the states have been made for as little as just over $7000 each...
      But keep in mind, most of the rest of the world has a different idea of what is tiny and vennicat specifically mentioned India...
      Most of India's households are usually less than 1000 sq ft, some even below 300 sq ft... Depending on which part of India, with an average household size that only recently dropped to under 4...
      So they could easily go smaller and for the homeless over there, a micro camper that could be towed by a bicycle, or they could just pull it themselves, could easily be made at a very low cost and still provide them all the basics...

    • @anurupabhowmick6087
      @anurupabhowmick6087 7 років тому +19

      vennicat somebody would break in within a day or two if u build such a thing here in india...one cant have glass windows or doors..plus such tiny houses need an outside water line which would be impossible to find in India

    • @ZeoCyberG
      @ZeoCyberG 7 років тому +24

      Anurupa Bhowmick, you seem to be assuming it would be built like they are in the states...
      Tiny Houses come in all shapes and designs... So long as you have rain, and it's safe and legal to use, you can have simple rain catchment system for water.
      Many people wanting to go tiny in the states also want to go off-grid... So even in the states grid-tie is already optional for Tiny Houses...
      Options like composting toilets don't need water and people can always get water and carry it to the house if it hasn't rained in awhile.
      Instead of glass windows, polycarbonate can be used for both a cheaper and more durable solution.
      While, if security is really a concern, the house can always be designed with locks, maybe some barbed wire or embedded broken glass around areas they may try to break in, etc.
      Just like a regular house, a tiny house can still be secured to at least make intruders think twice...
      Besides, for the homeless they can shelter... It's not like they would have much to steal. So whoever wants to break into one will have to be pretty desperate and that means it wouldn't matter if it's a tiny or big house then but they will be safer in a tiny house than just sleeping on the streets and left completely exposed...

  • @Bicketybam68
    @Bicketybam68 7 років тому +756

    Seriously the amount of people complaining about different things within the house. If if was yours, you get to choose what goes where. And the _oh, it's not a real tiny house but a bastardization of one_ People have different tastes and different needs. In the end it fits into the category of a tiny house. The beauty of any tiny house is that you make it your own. A smaller footprint is still a smaller footprint.
    This could easily be a second house on a private block or your only house where ever you want it to be. At $96k US (approx $130k AUD) that is a third of a cheapest avg house price in the cheapest city in Australia. That is truly a downsizing. Plenty of people own land just by itself that they are up to renting to owners of tiny houses. Options options options

      I find that this complaining most often comes from two groups of people. One, the fascist liberals who want to control everyone else's life and set the standards for the rest of us based on _their_ own personal beliefs and preferences. And two, the jealous poor people who can't afford a house like this themselves and despise anyone who can. Often there is overlap between these groups as well.

Lots of North American (especially Canadian) tiny home companies take in to mind things the average diy home builder over look (i.e moisture/mold prevention) that are incorporated in their design. This "tiny mansion" is anything but tiny, but it appears to provide all the comforts one thinks of when you think of a home. Thank you for the videos!

      It's not poor planning to have the bathroom and kitchen close to each other; both areas need plumbing for clean and grey water as well as hot water from a boiler. The larger tiny house presumably has more than one method of heating water, which would be difficult to fit into a smaller unit.

      In a larger rig they would be able to separate them but would have seperate tanks probably, (for clean or fresh and dirty or grey etc. water) like in a larger RV trailer (caravan we call them in Aussie, weirdly enough)

      Daftrok for twenty thousand less you can get a new mobile home with twice the floor space and can legally set it up in a multitude of places that you can’t put a tiny home. Where I live a person can buy a house that will need a little work for 50 to60 thousand dollars. Now I’m not against tiny homes but I think it’s better to build it yourself. It is how the whole movement got started. Buy a trailer for $3,000.00 to $4,000.00 and then spend $15,000.00 in new materials or find reclaimed materials and build it yourself. You may want to use a few high end things like flooring but because or the small area you might get lucky and find something at a flooring specialty store in the clearance section. Then decide if you want a full on kitchen with all the appliances or if you can get by with a hot plate and large toaster oven. Small dorm room fridge or something bigger. Point is you would only be paying between twenty to forty thousand for your tiny home.

Does need to be mentioned that a regular house here in the Netherlands starts around 230K for less desirable locations and shoots to 300K+ pretty dang fast.

    If I did a tiny house or tiny home, it would be something like this one! Love it! I need the full size bedroom. But for me, my bedroom kind of doubles as my living room. I just love that space. And the idea of building on top of the gooseneck is perfect. And totally agree about the stability of transporting with a gooseneck versus another type of fifth wheel. Super smart!

    It is so interesting to watch this video again with Bryce meeting Mike Bledsole from TinyHouseChattanooga and eventually asking Mike to build the THOW that he and his partner use to travel around the various countries making their 'Living Big in a Tiny House' videos. I love this house, the steel framing, and the quality built into it. While I would want a home all on one level with no lofts, the way that this one is designed is great. I also love the two doors in the building so safety as well as convenience. While I would want one that is more in the 38 foot range as a single person, this one for retired or retiring Boomers, is perfect.

    The builder in this really sounds like he knows his stuff and I liked the level of thought that clearly went into the design (such as his thoughts on the different preferences and requirements of the younger and older generations). Plus all the ticks in the steel frame column (lighter, more travel robust) and the stability of goose neck trailers travel wise.

  • @chadvetsch
    @chadvetsch 6 років тому +2

    By far best design I've seen at this size. If you are going for this type of home you no doubt will have to change your lifestyle. When I was a kid I actually lived in a mobile trailer for over a year in a hell of lot less space than this baby. You live with less but have less to clean, less clutter, it forces you to get out of your damn house! lol. Wherever you decide to land you gotta check out the codes of that county. A "tiny house" can be stayed in for several days but not lived in. Most towns in the US want you to secure the unit to the ground, have access to at least water and septic. In some small towns they have a community well. It's the grey water they worry about not your compost toilet. Up in Okanogan county Washington State they actually have a roof requirement of 65 pounds per square foot. Know why? Because of the heavy snow and ice. A foot of ice on your roof can weigh 57 pounds. So the steel frame makes alot of sense. The builder is right. It's a vehicle first then a house. Try moving a wooden frame house 3000 miles across country without damaging it or throw the door frames ect out of wack. What I like is you have flexibility. If you have to get out of dodge just move your house. If you got a big property you could move it around if need be. Build it somewhere else though and use cheaper materials and you could bring down some of that initial cost.

  • @GLOB4LP4ND3M1C
    @GLOB4LP4ND3M1C 7 років тому +68

    I've been looking into retirement options for my mom who's been renting the past 15 years and this layout might be what she'd go for. I've encouraged her to be more of a minimalist and pair down her belongings just as I have, so I think that the $96K price tag may convince her to settle for a smaller, more affordable space. She also wants to just park it on a plot of land near town, so full time livability might pull her in this direction of larger goose-neck trailers as well.
    As a side note, I wonder why more tiny home builders don't use steel frames...? Perhaps it's that price tag...

    • @ZeoCyberG
      @ZeoCyberG 7 років тому +13

      Yes, steel framing tends to cost a bit more and there's also design considerations as you'd need more specialty tools to work with steel vs wood.
      So it can be harder to make last minute changes, along with other design considerations.
      Every construction method has its pros and cons to consider... Like steel framing means you have to be more careful about thermal bridging and it's usually not fully rigid until you get the siding up.
      While not every builder will fully take advantage of steel... Like many would still insist on 16" OC even though steel framing allows for 24" OC without sacrificing structural strength and then you're not saving as much on weight...
      Similarly, using SIPs or MIPs can also cost more... Though, you can save on time and require less workers with those options to compensate, but only if everyone working on it is experienced with that type of construction as otherwise the learning curve can negate the savings...

  • @wolfco47
    @wolfco47 7 років тому +8

    Thank you for featuring this home on your channel. I can see in the comments below a very divergent set of viewers. There are those who find the style (and price) of this sort of build a good option, and then there are those who seem to find it a bit offensive to the fundamental origins of the tiny home due to the size and cost. I rather see its existence as a natural occurrence in the development and growth of the movement. All humans require shelter to live. Those with more time and/or skill, but less financial options would of course be among the first to find value in the minimalism and focus on repurposing goods that is somewhat central to the tiny house movement. Those with environmental concerns or travel requirements after discovering tiny homes would naturally find value the option of a smaller more mobile footprint. And, this secondary interest would frequently include many individuals of a slightly more fortunate socioeconomic status. The greater overall popularity would bring the attention of many with more wide ranging needs and goals for their home. Diversity of options would grow beyond the originally declared ideals and needs of the the movements originators. But, that is a blessing in my mind because I would never take the time or build the skills necessary to create my own tiny home. Instead, I would save up my money and pay the sometimes excessive price to have experts design and build the exact 'tiny' home I desire. ... And, I have to say, this builder really got my attention with his comment about importance of structural integrity when the home is going to be driven around. I have totally wondered about that after seeing so many self-designed and executed homes. Pot holes and the vibrations of the road will bounce the appliances, wiring, plumbing, and such leading to all kinds of potential damage or even dangers. This is even more true when a lack of codes and regulations leads people to innovate without consideration to the risks.

    • @miaschu8175
      @miaschu8175 5 років тому

    My first reaction to seeing this trend towards larger tiny houses was that it was ridiculous. Can they even be called tiny houses when they are that big? Is anything a tiny house as long as it is on wheels? But then I started looking at it from the perspective of anything smallish is better for the planet. Yes, homes like this seem huge, but they are much smaller than the average "regular" home and most times use alternative approaches to power and waste disposal. They also allow larger families to be able to embrace the tiny lifestyle. So, with a smaller footprint and less consumption of finite natural resources, homes like these definitely have their place in the tiny house movement.

      One more reason tiny houses are still ILLEGAL in a lot of places is that they don't want us to be offgrid and not using their energy, therefore not spending the money that would go to the government entities. They want us to use their energy, their water so we can pay them. Offgrid, independent self-sufficient homes are a pain for intitutions like banks also because banks are losing on those 300-500k mortgages they could be getting!
