Young couple builds cozy home with indoor garden for $30K (Denmark)

- When David Westervik left the Norwegian coastal city of Bergen to study architecture in Aarhus, Denmark, he decided to live in a small sailboat to save money and sail across the North Atlantic.
David used his boat-living experience to self-build with his partner Alessia a modular home as cozy and compact as the boat. The home is also capable of growing food and staying warm during the cold winter months of Denmark's Jutland. David used plywood and scrap materials to CNC-cut the structure, which cost the couple around 200,000 DKK (Danish Krone), or around $30K.
While writing his thesis on self-built architecture that can be easily moved and scaled, David came up with a modular system that can combine a scalable living space with a greenhouse that, in cold Scandinavia, serves as both an organic garden for food production and an indoor sunroom.
His GroHuse modular concept is inspired in the experience building their home: a small home that can be moved if necessary and easily adapted to different life stages, produced with non-toxic materials and ready for the most demanding climates.

Smart Couple.
They seem to be made for one another.
Its so pleasant to see couples who are kind and considerate to each other.
When you dont put a fortune into a house, you are free to do so many other things.
No kids yet so they can "focus" on each other. Hehe.
Kirsten and company really get around. Thanks for showing everyone a better way to live all over the world.
Since I didn't see any solar panels or water catchment systems I'm gonna assume they're not off grid? After living on a boat this place must feel like a mansion. I'm always impressed when people have the confidence to undertake things by simply watching UA-cam videos.
It would have to be a generator or on grid due to the snow in winter (I'm assuming as the only panels I saw were on neighboring houses)
@@itsBIGTIMMYC There's honestly not much snow in Denmark these days, seeing as there's very little snow in far southern Sweden either. Think we had like 3 weeks of snow this winter, if even.
Tiny houses are 13.5 feet tall. I think people are always set on lofts, but there is an opportunity to have one level with 30 inch high crawlspace storage. And room for Eddy Munster overnight. 😂
'Friland' is a designated society/community where people can build experimental homes.
It is laid out from the beginning to be on grid. Most electricity in Denmark are from wind (and most heat from district heating from clean incineration of trash).
You're promoting a very valuable culture Kirsten ,
may the force be with you sister .
i love that he called the makeshift desk "stupid" lol! sometimes silly simple things make the most sense. love the vid!
Wow the use of clay and the water and urine solutions for watering the ‘inside/outside room’ and the inside outside room are next level thinking for those who cannot build a classic Earth Ship!
Great work. Shows you what is possible whatever your energy, time and budget? Thank you for sharing. Go well All
Such a Beautiful space and hope their new plot of land is just as wonderful. Thanks for Sharing
No children so you know they have lots of "free time".
This is probably one of my favourite tiny houses. The clay just feels and looks fabulous and it looks spacious . Not to mention the greenhouse. Absolutely fab. Well done guys.
It’s so cool that they can literally pack up and move their entire set up somewhere else. Once there, they can then do additional modifications because it’s designed to be tweaked without major demo. That’s so much more logical. It would be cool to see their finished home project in the future. I love this show. It leaves me feeling inspired by the younger generation.
Finally an example from denmark! love it, very spacious and cohesive space. The greenhouse + clay walls work really well together
This is great. I mean you can actually spend less on building a house and spend more on buying a piece of land that you love.
Makes sense! Good observation. Also I’m wowed by the Earthship design on a budget….. :)
Lovely danish earthship: superb Kirsten and co! “It does it when you’re going to sit anyway”😅
I designed all kinds of earthship like houses, small and big, I am a bit obsessed, so I love seeying someone do this.
Be nice to follow up once they have moved.
Yes I don't think this house would be allowed on a regular plot of land in Denmark but maybe they got a better plot in Friland. It's an eco village where people are allowed to build differently and experiment. The challenge with tiny houses is often where to put them - same is true in Denmark
Such a lovely home. The greenhouse makes it for me! I think this home and the one you did years ago - the house was inside a green house - are 2 of my favorites.
Thank you for providing us with continuously wonderful content.
They have a cat and watch Futurama so I approve 😂, kidding aside, I love the greenhouse idea ❤
Dream living space, thank you for sharing it with us 🙏
Totally agree great innovation. Earthship on a budget!
This is a simple, sober earthship without all the hippy dippy bad taste. If you put a tent on the flat roof, you would have more space, it would provide more insulation and offer more protection from the spaces in the back. Great stuff, thanks for posting. Regards
I like the greenhouse directly off the house idea
Me too, I have a winter garden planned
So modest. We don’t need all the fancy stuff
♥ AGREE !
we for sure dont need anything mindlessly, but if we actually want something, for sure we should not limit ourselves. Id never live in this
Life really has different ways to enjoy. Especially if you are able to spend it with the one that has the same passion like you have. 💖💖
A lot of smart choices. Love how they also had made it easy to change and be flexible. Even easy to add an extra structure if they wanted more space later depending on the size of the lot of course.
In my opinion this is the aim of building small, to live as sustainably as possible , to recycle , upcycle , improvise and to build a home that utilizes simple technologies to construct a home that is healthy and safe to live in.
ohhh my gosh!!! ths is the greatest tiny I've come across. Awsome achievement
Liked before watching! ❤
me to 😁
👌👍🏡👏aus Hamburg, Lohbrügge .. Fein gemacht!
wonderful place!!! i loved the simple, fairly open design. and i LOVED the clay wall treatments! yes! i think it's so smart to have the greenhouse attached.
Great place. Lucky Denmark. I tried to plan something similar in Switzerland. Impossible. Too many regulations.
Denmark is *worse*
The land zone, i.e. the country side, is the easiest place to get something done with the least amount of red tape (legislation and other rules).
It is almost impossible to live 100% off the grid all year round in Denmark. Some do it in the summer, for example in an allotment house, but you are not allowed to live there in the winter. In Denmark, there are many regulations and environmental laws that must be complied with with regard to waste, sewage conditions and water. These conditions must be in order. There are solutions that can be installed and make it almost possible to be off grid in relation to water, electricity and sewage. But these solutions can be expensive to install. Therefore, some live off grid in Denmark illegally, others circumvent the laws by settling in another person's backyard.
I'm a simple man. I see new Kirsten Dirksen mini-documentary, and I click. ^_^
Plants in the house give in so many ways 🪴🌿
I wanted to meet the cat and understand how they had adapted to various living ways!
Thanks Kirsten for showing the lifestyle of these great people.
So cool of you guys to come and feature Denmark.
Thank you and your team so much for another beautiful Kirsten Dirksen Special! ❤
LOVE your channel, LOVE your work! 🎉
Another brilliant short film. Cozy goodness.....
If you ask me, he did the right thing when in school living on his own boat. Why throw away rent money. and then later, start off small and then build addon's. Also gardens, growing your own food is becoming more and more the way of the future...until the next one !!
denmark is just expensive for no reason
Simplicity is Beauty🌻& recycling waste waters on site is super efficient🧑🌾. Only impt. _____missing is a sol Foto-Voltaic system collecting free 🌞 energy🔋💡It can be more Shade for flat part of greenhouse &/or house roof😎
Lovely concept. The only question that I have is the well and plumbing situation. When they move they will obviously have to disconnect the water works and reconnect to another well. This is the same for the electricity.
Another great vid. Thanks!
Now this is living the dream?! Thank you for sharing 💯
Very nice👍
nice --- great video
This is so beautiful
Lovely
You always make such fascinating videos. Please more

Beautiful home!
we are thinking about moving to a heaper place and build a small eath ship like home
This will be fascinating to follow up on in 5 or 10 years, especially after they move and if they have a few kids and build an addition. I can imagine a 2-story addition arranged in a T or L at the back of the house where they have their stairs and loft. You would need 3 bedrooms (masters bedroom, girls' bedroom and boys's bedroom big enough for bunk-beds), probably a 2nd bathroom and some sort of living room / play room area. The existing house would probably become the kitchen/dining/laundry area.
It looks flat like Denmark but his accent sounds more Norweigan
Probably right if you look at the flag on the boat

Very very very good ideas
everybody should be allowed to built such a little affordable castel anywhere
10:27 That's a great idea.
I really love the concept of having a green house. Free heating, double the size of the house, and sitting 'outside' most of the year. Like bringing Bali to Denmark. Is there any info on the neighbouring house though? I love the veranda but also wonder how they will move the house when the plot is no longer available.
Nicely Done 🎉
JO JO IN VT 💞
Very interesting ideas.
very good video and home design
Love it!
I would have to have tomatoes in the green house.
this couple is living in the future
Amazing 😊
Fantastic
Thank You for sharing that lovely house. What are the dimensions of the house?
I just want what that cat has at 5:23
Poor Kitty is hungry!
Wow, he sounds almost exactly like Magnus Midtbø?
This is Gods way🙏❤️☮️
Cute.
I wonder what they do about all the moisture that greenhouse produces. I love the idea, but I'd worry about mould.
12:00 The clay regulates humidity
Would like to hear how they will get around the regulations to place it on their own land
Wehren is it in Denmark? Im still Livingstone in Denmark but ist so difficult to get a permit
@@wasgibtsliane Friland (Ecovillage) near Ebeltoft, Denmark
I just want to know what never to do with the grey water. I could imagine someone from the city visiting this house and by "accident" adding some chlorine in the water while cleaning and WOOOPS
We don't add chlorine to water in Denmark. Our ground water is very clean
@@SIC647 good for you :)
How do you get pollination without bees in your face?
Saya adopsi konstruksi nya 😅😅😅
❤❤❤❤
👍👌
How can you legally move to a plot? Please explain!!!
When I get rich I want a house like that. I live in Los Angeles so I will have to get very very rich.
Look I. Arizona there is a beautiful round house in Douglas Az.
What happens in the winter
at least he let her talk a few times.
😻
✌
Why did you want clay walls on the interior?
@@YellinUpAStorm Hi! The reason we do that is due to Clay abilities to create a healthy indoor climate, by regulating temperature and humidity. It's also better for people with allergies 😊
Did he say their urine waters their veggie plants?
Yes
@@RVBadlands2015 that is great to know the next time there is a outdoor water ban, I will just ask all my neighbors to leave me buckets of their urine and my veggies will be well through a dry spell
Hessian I think not linen.
Surely someone can build one of these environmentally-conscious "earthships" that doesn't also look like a pile of trash? Haven't seen one yet, but I assume it must be possible.

Kristen,I adore your content,but this one is really ugly and too "simple".
But plants are not food for humans.
@@m007mm , says who?
Humans are omnivores.
?
Humans do incredibly well on whole-food plant-based diets.
@@brucefay5126 No, they do better than on a processed food diet, but eventually will break apart.
Nothing special
what a mess
