Stunning Tiny House with THE BEST Kitchen & Loft Design - FULL TOUR

  • This might be the BEST tiny house ever!* It's a compact size at only 25 feet long, but it packs in a massive chef's kitchen, loads of built-in storage, a spacious bathroom, a cozy living room nook, a master loft with standing head room, and a spare loft for kids, guests or storage. It was built by Devin Heck on Vancouver Island, BC - he's a red seal carpenter who builds tiny homes in his spare time. This is his second DIY tiny home and he has a third underway. Not only is the design incredibly functional and liveable, but the price he sold it for is very reasonable at $120,000 CAD (approx. $87,000 USD).
    *Just taking a peek at the comments and it sounds like Shay from NZ was the first to do this layout! It’s a brilliant design and you can check out her build here:
    www.shayestiny...
    You can follow and find out more about Devin's tiny house projects here:

    This tiny home has some great unique features like a wrap-around kitchen with a mini bay window for plants, a custom couch with storage cubbies underneath, a curved storage staircase with cable railing, a full closet in the main loft, a walkway on the second floor that connects the two bedrooms, and a little entrance where you could store coats and shoes.
    The tiny house on wheels measures 25' long x 9' 6" wide and with the lofts it's approx. 400 square feet or 37 square meters. It's also built on a custom triple axle trailer. We love to tour clever tiny house designs like this and hope you enjoyed taking a peek at the interior design and layout of this one!
    Thanks for watching!

      Well done, Devon and wife! May your business succeed beyond your wildest dreams!

    What a wonderful tiny home Devon's built - it's really lovely, and it has the best use of space. There are so many useful and beautiful touches all throughout; he's obviously a master craftsman who loves what he does. I wish Devon and his family the best!

      I love the colors in this tiny home. I love green and I love the way you did the outside torching the wood. I saw someone on HGTV do this process but did not use any sealant, oil etc over it and it looked like black boards, In short, a black tiny house. It wasn't at all attractive but yours is absolutely gorgeous.
      I like that the master bedroom has headspace where you can actually stand up in it. I believe I would get claustrophobic otherwise.
      I would give anything to sell my home which is close to 1600 square feet and downsize in a tiny home. I have so much clutter and I think that comes along with having a larger house.
      The shiplap walls look so elegant, as does the entire tiny house. The kitchen being so large has definitely made it a baker's dream. Congratulations on such a beautiful build!!!

    I really like that you can stand up in the bedroom loft which is a luxury compared to most where you have to crawl on your hands & knees.Ouch,my back!

    • @theresabu3000
      @theresabu3000 4 дні тому

      Yeah that's a definite plus - couldn't imagine not standing up.
      I think he optimized it as much as possible - though I've seen someone put a bite out of the downstairs (where the bathroom is) - to put your feet in, and made an office out of the other loft.
      Not sure if that's possible here, but having the option might be nice.

    Depending upon the depth under the couch it kind of looks like small decorative baskets could be put between the "joists" of the couch to store small items. All in all this is a very clever design and looks inviting, especially once personalized with pictures and wall hangings and such.

    This is really nice. Love the exterior finish. The second upstairs loft could be a reading / TV nook. Beautiful craftsmanship throughout. Spacious, lovely kitchen. The two things I'd tweak would be to round the corners of that kitchen countertop and get rid of the back hallway, making the entire area into a larger bathroom with pocket door. Kudos though for a job beautifully done!
