    Nice but how do you cook anything? Needs at least a 2 burner stovetop. Ditch the coffee maker for an oven. At least if this wants to be anything more than an AirBnB.

    I would really like to see a factory tour. During a factory tour, I would be interested to hear how the manufacturer has anticipated climate considerations, moisture consideration inside the home, air quality inside the home, condensation on the bottom of the home, etc. I noticed that rain gutters are lacking on the home. Would gutters be recommended? I'm from the North West and water feels like a huge consideration here.

    For people who are truly interested in living off grid, the ability to grow, prepare and store food is an essential part of daily life. Smart homes like this with tech features are cool. But there are things that may be important design features that aren’t present which could better benefit someone living off grid long term, especially at that $300k price point.

    It looks like a hi-tech greenhouse. @13:32, there are no downsides to having the laundry facility in the bathroom. The shower room has a surprising amount of storage for such a small space. I feel that both versions are too expensive, but there are people who won't baulk at the price.

  • @stutzstudiowerks
    @stutzstudiowerks 8 годин тому +1

    This little home is perfection. 2 questions: 1) If it doesn't require anything except a piece of property to set it on, what about water and sewage? Does it have grey and black water tanks like an RV? 2) The high tech off grid features are the best part of the home, IMO. BUT, the price!!! Is there a brochure with a breakdown of the features including cost to replace the solar panels if damaged? Not sure how the justify 200k and 300k for 400 sq.ft. no matter how cool it is.

  • @cancelbubble6535
    @cancelbubble6535 11 годин тому +3

    Pretty cool. I don't personally care about the "smart home" features and I have a hard time buying the claim @3:07 "can run all systems, including heating and AC, water boiler and home appliances using only solar energy and batteries in any weather 24/7". Put one in Phoenix where they can go over 100 days in a row of 100+ degree weather. AC is running 24/7 there, this can do that for 3 months straight? How about the mountains of Colorado in winter with weeks of overcast reducing the solar intake. It can provide adequate heat throughout winter?

    These things are really nice, honestly they are. But the goal of housing people seems secondary with these types of structures because they are so expensive. They seem more for people who already have a ton of money to blow on something in their already large yard or for folks that own some property somewhere and want their own little nest somewhere. At $199,000 (to START), there's alternatives for less that offer much more space, and amenities. So basically, I'm wondering why I watched this video...LOL...

    Once the novelty wears off, and it will within a day or two, do you really want to live in a glass house? You'll need an extensive - and expensive - solar setup and batteries to support the draw of this unit. Heat/AC/hot water, the refrigerator, and appliances like the coffeemaker are power hogs, and renters of a B&B won't be prudent. It also would not meet some building code requirements, including insulation and wind resistance. The flashy features could be incorporated into a more substantial building if they're what attracts you.

    Mother passed away over 7 months ago and father is almost 90. Father will leave my brother and I two homes, one which is valued over a million dollars. The other one is more than half a million and paid for and it’s a rental. The million dollar one is a 2-story home in a nice neighborhood but I hate suburbia and would love something like the home in the video. The problem is land. We can purchase two homes like this after selling our more expensive one and perhaps land to place them. But depending on the location, the land might be more than the homes. Still studying my options.

The fact that you think $200k is ok means your values have been so skewed that your opinions cannot be trusted. Jeez, I've watched over 100 of your vids and I am so disappointed I can hardly believe it. Get your values straight Kerry!
