*$350K is too much for a tiny house. The total cost of that tiny house should not be more than $75K so that the buyer can easily afford to pay its annual rent that he will have to pay to the USA government in a form of property tax so that the USA government can give his/her tax money in a form financial aid to the corrupt, fascist, and/or terrorist elites of foreign countries, such as, Ukraine, Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, India, European Union, NATO member countries, illegal and violent immigrants from Mexico, Domenican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Columbia, Cuba, Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Pakistani and Indian Punjabi, etc.*
Only in America can someone take an idea like a tiny home, meant to be small, inexpensive, and efficient and make it cost as much as a three or four bedroom home.
I think that's true, unfortunately. The whole proposition of living in a tiny but commfortable house, should be that it's super affordable. Otherwise, you are trading off more than you gain.
Exactly what I thought, the price is ridiculous. However, even if I personally were to build a house, I think I would go for houses made of hemp concrete... still, this type of construction is good and convenient, a good alternative not only to normal houses but for temporary shelters in case of disasters, and it was great that Enes brought this video. As for the company going bankrupt for taking a lot of money, I don't know that well, I also believe that rich people, especially in the United States, were quite capable of paying a large amount for these small "fashionable" houses, further relieving the possibilities of Poorer people may have a decent house or a house at all.
Seems like most people do not understand a large part of the 350 is cost for the lot, excavation, concrete, permits. Things that got nothing to do with the manufacturer of the home. The top floor, house, itself, maybe 100K.
Better go with boxabl homes. They are smaller but you can get one for 40k/50k. They are all modular,so buy a couple of them connect or stack them and you’re way below the 350k with still money in the bank.
It's all relative... compared to other options in LA, it's more affordable than a 1-bedroom condo. Compared to a starter home in a small town Nebraska, it might seem a bit steep.
this is such a "im rich and want to LARP as a poor person LUL" house.. who tf wants a small house that costs $350k+ that doesnt come with a plot of land that you also have to buy and then knock down a house that already exists there to replace it with this.
@@EnesYilmazer yeah but no need to pay a scammer to build your house first of all you can build 4 of these for that price second of all this is not a tiny house.. your bla bla works better on houses people will never see in reality
I grew up in a prefabricated home in Germany, build in 1974. Apart from the basement-level build traditionally with concrete and brick walls which took some time to build, the actual home on top was completed in two weeks. My parents never had issues with the home and it is still good after 50 years. The exterior walls good significantly widened due to much better isolation (when the home was constructed, isolation was not an issue as it is today, due to energy cost). If I where to build a single-family home, i'd go prefabricated. It's fast, very cost-effective and the quaiity is very good. Today, I own a home in the center of a big city, where multi-story appartment buildings are the norm, so I am now living in a classical brick&concrete building, which was already there.
So they consider 350K - 450K affordable? My house is 3 bedroom, 2 bath nearly 2000 sq.ft. & costs about 350K with the land it’s on. So the future of housing is less than 500 sq.ft., but costs about the same? How is that better?
Seriously pricing themseleves out of the market before they even get started. Besides the free media attention this will go nowhere fast at this price. My house is 4 bedrooms, 3 bath , & 2500 sq.ft. on half an acre and also is 350K and it's only 8 years old. Brand new homes in my area of the same size are going for 450K which is the same as their 2 bedroom. This "might" work in California where prices are sky high but even then it's the cost of the land that is mostly sky high vs the cost of actually building the house. It's a glorified mobile home for 5x the price.
I hear your concerns! Affordable housing should offer better value. It's crucial to explore options that provide more space without compromising your budget. Your feedback matters, and here's to finding homes that truly meet our needs!
Building a home doesn't need to be done from the convenience of your iPhone. You are not grocery shopping. For many people if at all this is a once in a lifetime experience and even though it can be stressful I would like to experience it and I think I am not alone
I just love Enes's videos and appreciate the efforts he and his team puts in. The house above is a big joke though. And as soon as I heard the names Apple, SpaceX, Tesla and Ferrari, the joke was further enhanced.
@@MrBeatboxmasta ofc they're paid. In this it's about a line of products / a specific company though, it wouldn't surprise me if they were actively contacted. Just seems different since it's a laughable offering. I don't ever recall Enes bringing up any kind of critique, for obvious reasons of course, but to shill this overpriced garbage appears appears to me as selling out. Not blaming the guy as he probably makes a ton of money by now, just an observation. I don't watch every video, as a matter of fact I used to click more often in the beginning. Once they had started to review all those LA mansions that are just Copy&Paste versions of each other my interest plummeted.
what's wrong with having engineers from apple, spacex, tesla and ferrari? it means caliber engineer and designers capable to capture the middle class market. the question is, if it is true though; if it was indeed true and not just engineers and designers who were just short time university apprentice (school affiliate) for the summer. On the hardware side, those spacex and tesla engineers are considered the 10x engineers and 100% legit to find another job with at least 3x pay from their current job. 10x means they can do 10x what ordinary engineers in the market can do. it is well known in the industry. these guys got $10M from founders fund (the famous billionaire peter Thiel) in series And another $60M in series B. founders were chosen by ycombinator the worlds most famous #1 accelerator located in silicon valley. ultimately, they should be able to lower the cost to $150k and they will reach the J curve chart in valuation. $350k is indeed to much. $350 was the cost of everything and not just the physical construction (inclusive of permits and everything).
As a Mexican architect, I could build the same amount of square feet for 28k. I also think that the measurements of the house are wrong, because you are not taking into account the mezzanine slab (the roof of the parking lot) which in that case, would be at least double the square footage, so it would have a price of 56k . Of course, not including the land.
Because when car company is involved in project, they want you to have more cars than you need even if you have to pack the family members in chicken coop.
It reminds me of potato chips. When I was a kid in the 1960's a small bag of potato chips was three or more times bigger and cheaper than a small bag is today.
Yes! As soon as he said Tesla builds the best EV's, I laughed. This guy presents like a Nepo baby that hasn't had to worry about mortgaging his life to get this business going.
@@valerimacdonald5146 Yep, agreed. The same Tesla's that get lit on fire due to battery being hot. Such trash. I'll drive my 2011 Camry till it dies then buy a newer version... the 2014. 😝
@@valerimacdonald5146it’s been proven time and time again that gas cars are 25x more likely to catch fire than EVs. I agree the house is ridiculous but please stop spreading misinformation.
The most amazing thing about this house is that you were able to get ten or fifteen minutes worth of words to go with the video of the place. You are a master presenter and I really like your channel. This video all things aside felt more like a commercial of the factory and the showroom example home. Any one with a hobby requiring space to build or work in would literally have to have an offsite space for it.
@@EnesYilmazeroil , natural gas , or electric heat set is included and is the land Included in the 350k prices and is that 350k standard price no matter where u live ? Or based on zip code ?
I’m going to give this video a chance because you’re a great presenter, Enes. Though when I saw that this is a house designed by tech bros, I was pretty sure it was going to be a bad value proposition.
This is a great book with a lot of good construction tips The sheds featured in this book are probably built better than most peoples' homes. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- The author uses only the best materials and methods. It proved to be a great resource for my little 8' x 10' shed project and more 400+ plans. If you are turned off by the flimsy tin and home center kit sheds; if you want a shed that has some character and can be used as an extension of your home; then this book is for you.
For 350k you can buy the property in a nice place + 2 bedroom 2 bathroom new home that you build with even better furniture than shown. This includes cost of getting a good architect, permits, and other expenses including taxes. Or a three bedroom home.
I appreciate you trying to show us something innovative and under a million dollars, Enes. I know that’s not an easy task right now. Like, you show us all these houses that are tens of millions of dollars, and we’ll never afford those. That’s OK, because they are almost always marvels of engineering, or in astoundingly beautiful locations that are a pleasure to view (even if only through a camera). There’s just something a little off putting about showing us a home that 99% of us still won’t be able to afford, but calling it “affordable.” Better to just say “Luxury ADU” and let a few people be pleasantly surprised that it could offer us an affordable housing solution way, way, way down the road.
The recessed light and plugs are very nice looking but... In reality they are a nightmare! They will eventually need to be changed if damaged or if the owner wants to add more plugs etc, that means that you will have to make a hole into the wall just to get them out
@@facetiouslyinsolent8313well it’s not crazy in many countries. It’s crazy in the US but not in many others. I’ve been to many countries before, some charging a min of $1000 and you can’t get anything, perhaps a parking space for 350k.
As someone in the trades, this is my concern as well. Space efficiency is great, but those dead spaces behind walls, ceilings, etc are not just unused. That being said, they leave the seams exposed inside so maybe you can just pop off panels and easily access the internals which may be even better than having to cut sheetrock then repair it as we do currently. Also it looks like they have enough lights and outlets that you probably wouldn't need to be adding a bunch post-build.
Sure, a small house that’s beautiful and has all the bells and whistles is nice, and probably makes sense to someone who has lots of money and limited space to build, or just wants a small weekend getaway, but for most people it’s simply too much money for a tiny house, especially when you can have a really nice tiny house built for $125k or so. To each their own.
There is a saying that even though a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. This mini-mansion can be described with this sentence! It’s great, we finally got to see a mini-mansion that the average person can probably afford, and I love it! I like the concept of it being surrounded by wooden boards, like living in nature or a tropical forest, it feels warm! I also like its sliding glass assembly, which allows the entire mini mansion to have plenty of natural light! The amazing thing about the studio was that it was alike a functional B&B Apartment, fully equipped! It’s great to be able to design your own mini-mansion. You must feel very happy living in it! The plot of playing the game at the end really made me feel happy. Happiness is actually around you, waiting for you to discover it at any time, it is just so easy! The only thing that makes me curious is how soundproofing it is? If this is okay, it's perfect for me! Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! Enes, I wish you all a happy Christmas holiday and a great coming year! 👍🎅🙌❤🎁🎄🎉
Regarding the first home: I love Silver Lake in Los Angeles. That home is definitely surrounded by multi-million dollar homes. My lender/homebuilder recently recommended these guys to me but I need at least 2000-sqft. I’ve worked in construction and know that the cost of this home is due to the [foundation] engineering on the slope with a retaining wall. Find a flat parcel and deduct 100-150k.
Yeah, Tesla: built like crap, hugely inferior to proper cars being noisier & less comfortable, missing so many comforts & features, and you overpay for blatant lies they constantly tell you. Tesla promised millions of people would be *_making money_* with their fully self-driving robo-taxi Teslas in 2019... And it's even horrible for society: Built unsustainably, supports 🇨🇳 and goes against then interests of the West, and needs so much subsidies your tax burden goes up massively.
@@aleksandra4653 Maybe just because other car companies offer more choice of models, while Tesla only offers two versions of two models. Also because corrupt governments like mainly the evil 🇨🇳 have forced it upon us...also causing everyone to have to pay thousands more every year in more taxes to pay for the massive subsidies for the cars, for their manufacture, for the batteries, for the charging network, everything! Above all Tesla only made it because they scammed everyone with lies about people going to make money if they buy Teslas, Musk said that in 2019 people will make thousands because their Teslas will make them money as robo-taxis while they sit at home. It's all a huge scam. And an environmental disaster.
The big issue i see is security with this. They key fob system is a bad idea, cars are regularly broken into and stolen that have key fobs and no physical keys with the use of a repeater, with this system if you leave a extra key in the house, or if you are sleeping and have the key in the house the repeater can easily open up your sliding glass doors and now you are in danger.
People who are brainwashed to buy Teslas that freeze in the winter and can't drive further than around 200 miles before you have to spend the night to charge it arent't the least bit concerned about common sense things like safety or locks on the doors... you watch, people in places like Los Angeles will be buying these hand over fist.
I would LOVE to binge on this content, tiny houses, old vintage abandoned houses, not only the fancy stuff that I will never get to see in real life!!! Loved this!!
Spending less on a 3,000 sqft home in a nice area is truly efficient, and the money savings cover the extra utilities if it’s higher for many many many many years. That’s a storage container on top of a slab with a garage door under it.
This price works as an ADU in California where median home prices exceed $1M and nice rentals with garages are few and expensive. Increase your home’s value and rent out the tiny house.
Enes: Here's a half-hour infomercial on this company's tiny homes Enes fans: Wow, you're amazing showing us the latest and greatest, thank you so much. Love your production values, blah blah blah...
You need to have a big enough garage in California to pay the thieves as many reparations as they 'deserve' according to Californians... The glass garage door and home's large glass surfaces are like shop windows for the democrat-sponsored looters.
The only tiny home I have seen that has a garage - a necessity for many, especially electric car owners with chargers in the garage! I love it. Can hardly wait until it becomes more affordable. I'm in.
Only in America the garage can be as large as a house. As others have said the house is way too expensive. The Cover website only says something generic about "our homes pass the most rigorous energy standards". But there are no energy numbers or rating. My new home comes with pre-fabricated walls, too. But I will get 36 cm of clay and not plastic.
I will never understand the obsession with energy standards. I open my windows everyday unless its humid outside so why would I care about energy efficiency
@@SusanChristmas Energy efficiency = money. Of course, I open my windows in late spring to early autumn. But not in winter. And many houses shown by Enes have ACs which also cost money.
@@beatrixwillius I love opening my windows in the winter and keeping the air at 63 in the summer. I like it cold. I should realise other people would rather spend less on these things. I save in other areas I don't go to the salon for hair or nails and I don't like to travel and prefer to cook at home so I guess this makes up for the extra cost in heat and air.
@@DEUSMUSHISHI What better options ? I like fresh air. I live in a home that's over a 100 years old. I would never want to live in a new energy efficient home where things are sealed up tight it's not even healthy. When I was growing up people opened there windows especially if someone was sick in the house.
Enes, I always told my stepdad that I want to be an architectural modern home design, engineering. I can sketch a very modern house. My dad say that I am an artist. The videos you create gives me more awesome idea of sketching my own modern house. I always wanted to live in a very modern house.
These prefab home manufactures are absolutely INSANE. How they even have a business is beyond me. there is no logical reason to spend the money on this house this size unless you have so much money you just want to blow it in this.
@@EnesYilmazer Ah thank you for clearing up, that's great that he is! You guys have been working hard that despite the great work you guys have been doing, you also look out for each other and give each other timely breaks. You guys have my full support!
I can't decide: if this home looks like a trailer or this trailer looks like a home? Indeed this shipping-container-home concept is too much futuristic for me.)
If it's less than 500 square feet, why would there be a need for a two-car garage? Would a one car garage be better suited with the remaining space dedicated to much-needed additional room?
LOL... A tiny home built like a Tesla? Guys, it has cement in the garage!!!! It has an electrical panel and a water heater. Oh boy, I am getting my check book! I wonder how much they paid Enes to do this video with a straight face?
The price is crazy for the size. The idea is interesting but this is for sure early adopter tax levels. The garage height is too low at this location. Even if you don't need it for a larger vehicle the no headroom is a complete downside. I mostly want to see how the cosmetic paneling works. Can these be moved post construction? How do you deal with hanging wall objects? How do you deal with any electrical changes that might come up? How easy are repairs for that and plumbing? Or how easy are repairs in general with the prefab sections. These are the real important questions.
I think is expensive, to say the least. I will compare apples with pears; but for that price you can buy a 4 bedroom 4 baths with a large garden (pool included), by example in Mérida, Mexico. So, I know that is California, but they still need to get the price down.
Where is Mikey? Enes, you should tour a house by the people who have a contract to build houses on other planets. I think they were featured on 60 Minutes.
Yeah, unless you're talking about a condo in downtown Manhattan or Beverly Hills, this is way too expensive. I do think it looks very nice, and I appreciate the fact that there's just one company that takes care of all the paperwork (well, for California/LA) and then it goes up quickly on site. There are several questions/comments though. 1) What's the lead time before they start building? 2) You were using wide angle lenses that make everything look bigger. It was particularly noticeable on the outside deck. It looked like it was 100 feet long through the camera, but it's probably only 40 feet. So walking around the rooms saying "look how spacious" is somewhat deceiving. 3) As a realtor, you know when people look at houses that are over 15 years old they always talk about remodeling. This looks like you're stuck with what's there. If someone wants to remodel the bathroom, how is that done when everything is prefab? Is close the only company that can do the remodel?, etc. I just remodeled a couple of bathrooms that involved tearing down walls and rerouting plumbing. I don't see how that's doable here. 4) Those walls looked pretty thin. Insulation? Maybe the panels can be made thicker (don't know since I haven't checked out the manufacturer's website. 5) rooms always look bigger when there's nothing in them and no clutter. Have someone live in there for 9 months and then drop in unexpected to see how much room they really have to work with and not once you've cleaned everything out and thrown away, so it looks good when someone visits. 6) Kinda related to #3, this looks like your own personal apartment. Now, if you outgrow an apartment, you just go somewhere else. Is the intent here that every 6 years you sell a prefab house and go into another one? I really did like the look of the place ... and I think it looked great as an ADU .... but it looks like it's really only useable as an apartment alternative (and darn nice alternative) that you "throw away" when you've outgrown it or need a change.
I lived in a tiny home and loved it , I want to do that again , because in reality you really don't really need a lot of things or space , just enough for your individual needs
I appreciate what they're trying to do. The price is a little too steep at the moment, but I guess with time they'll explore some new materials and techniques, eventually bringing the price down and the quality up. I'll be sure to follow their progress in the future.
I live in the SF Bay Area in a 600sq ft 1 bedroom condo community. My neighbor just listed his Condo for $350K. In all honesty, I would jump on this tiny home in an heartbeat, given the design and amenities. The kicker is that the unit price is inclusive. The next kicker is that you could immediately sell the unit for $700K in this market. Instant equity! Yea!
My grandparents owned a Sears catalog Home in VA. Later on I ended up working for Sears construction Division building the homes for a short time before it became Subcontractor only. It would shock you the amount of jobs they had available that had nothing to do with product sales.
Great content Enes. Not sold on the thermal properties on this build, maybe ok for LA. Slick design but, 'Democratising architecture' is a bit steep...It's a pre-fab dude... what's next.. making wheels round again ? Buy an Airstream and drive it straight out of LA if you want to spend some money & live in a nice small space :) Happy 2024 everyone.
As many other commenters have pointed out, the tiny house itself could work out great and I like the idea but the price is out of this world. Either this tiny home is located in an area surrounded by homes that are super expensive so it naturally pushes the price of this tiny home to astronomical heights, or it is incredibly overpriced. From the looks of it though - these will mainly more than likely be used as guest houses on larger estates instead of a primary home. Great video as always!
@@bennyragz Yeah so your solution is everyone to become a billionaire? Inflation is frustrating but what do you want people to do? We either have to adapt or be homeless.
MMC has it’s place, and low rise housing is definitely it! Thanks for another great year of content Enes (and team) - this channel is consistently one of the best creators on UA-cam.

Asking people to live in 500sqft for 400k is as insulting as pushing bug burgers
*$350K is too much for a tiny house. The total cost of that tiny house should not be more than $75K so that the buyer can easily afford to pay its annual rent that he will have to pay to the USA government in a form of property tax so that the USA government can give his/her tax money in a form financial aid to the corrupt, fascist, and/or terrorist elites of foreign countries, such as, Ukraine, Israel, Egypt, Pakistan, India, European Union, NATO member countries, illegal and violent immigrants from Mexico, Domenican Republic, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Columbia, Cuba, Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Pakistani and Indian Punjabi, etc.*
Only in America can someone take an idea like a tiny home, meant to be small, inexpensive, and efficient and make it cost as much as a three or four bedroom home.
Only in California* or by people who live there

Its targeted to higher end owners, its not supposed to be affordable for everyone.
"We want to make a house easy and affordable for everyone". 350K lmfao so out of touch.
That alone is enough for me to not care about this company. Make it 60K and then we will talk.

what's wrong with having engineers from apple, spacex, tesla and ferrari? it means caliber engineer and designers capable to capture the middle class market. the question is, if it is true though; if it was indeed true and not just engineers and designers who were just short time university apprentice (school affiliate) for the summer. On the hardware side, those spacex and tesla engineers are considered the 10x engineers and 100% legit to find another job with at least 3x pay from their current job. 10x means they can do 10x what ordinary engineers in the market can do. it is well known in the industry. these guys got $10M from founders fund (the famous billionaire peter Thiel) in series And another $60M in series B. founders were chosen by ycombinator the worlds most famous #1 accelerator located in silicon valley. ultimately, they should be able to lower the cost to $150k and they will reach the J curve chart in valuation. $350k is indeed to much. $350 was the cost of everything and not just the physical construction (inclusive of permits and everything).
Right, tesla is different, but cheaply manufacturered tbh
I guess we can all agree 350k is a ridiculous price for a tiny home. I'm praying people aren't stupid enough to buy this so it becomes a thing.
YEP.
Ditto.
Built out of foam😂
Appreciate your thoughts!
@@EnesYilmazer even tho we dont like the house, i do do like your videos, keep em coming. Marry xmas
As a Mexican architect, I could build the same amount of square feet for 28k. I also think that the measurements of the house are wrong, because you are not taking into account the mezzanine slab (the roof of the parking lot) which in that case, would be at least double the square footage, so it would have a price of 56k . Of course, not including the land.
$56k … nice.
A garage that is just as big as the whole home is *for sure* the future of living 😂
Bet you can't fit the cybertruck inside that garage!
Because when car company is involved in project, they want you to have more cars than you need even if you have to pack the family members in chicken coop.
I feel like most are just gonna repurpose that garage into a whole another house and then just park on the driveway or the street 😂
There’s more garage space than living space but it was designed by engineers from Apple,Netflix, Tesla, Amazon, etc 😂
You mean A house that is just as big as the whole garage 😂
On today´s episode of "How to scam hipsters"
It reminds me of potato chips. When I was a kid in the 1960's a small bag of potato chips was three or more times bigger and cheaper than a small bag is today.
That's why it's in Silver Lake and nowhere else....
or an American divorce
🤣🤣😂
And how to make an architect laugh out loud for the absurdity.
Did he say "easy and affordable for everyone" just a few seconds after they said $350,000???!!🤣🤣🤣
👍👍👍
if there was a house in la right now this size for $350,000 i can buyy i
That's dirt cheap in california, plus they're still working at bringing cost down. That's just what they cost now.

@@valerimacdonald5146it’s been proven time and time again that gas cars are 25x more likely to catch fire than EVs. I agree the house is ridiculous but please stop spreading misinformation.
The most amazing thing about this house is that you were able to get ten or fifteen minutes worth of words to go with the video of the place. You are a master presenter and I really like your channel. This video all things aside felt more like a commercial of the factory and the showroom example home.
Any one with a hobby requiring space to build or work in would literally have to have an offsite space for it.
thanks for sharing your thoughts on this house!
@@EnesYilmazerhow much did they pay you to sell us this piece of sh*%
@@EnesYilmazeroil , natural gas , or electric heat set is included and is the land Included in the 350k prices and is that 350k standard price no matter where u live ? Or based on zip code ?
@@fl676 Nope, that 350k would just get you the houuse, you'd need to get your own land and hookups. It's not nearly as convienent as they let on.

Man your voice is as soothing as the sound of a calm sea on a lakshadweep island resort beach...
I’m going to give this video a chance because you’re a great presenter, Enes. Though when I saw that this is a house designed by tech bros, I was pretty sure it was going to be a bad value proposition.
couldn't pay me $1m a year to live in a tech bro designed house.
This is a great book with a lot of good construction tips The sheds featured in this book are probably built better than most peoples' homes. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- The author uses only the best materials and methods. It proved to be a great resource for my little 8' x 10' shed project and more 400+ plans. If you are turned off by the flimsy tin and home center kit sheds; if you want a shed that has some character and can be used as an extension of your home; then this book is for you.
It's insane that's 350k for 40 square meters
For 350k you can buy the property in a nice place + 2 bedroom 2 bathroom new home that you build with even better furniture than shown. This includes cost of getting a good architect, permits, and other expenses including taxes. Or a three bedroom home.
I appreciate you trying to show us something innovative and under a million dollars, Enes. I know that’s not an easy task right now. Like, you show us all these houses that are tens of millions of dollars, and we’ll never afford those. That’s OK, because they are almost always marvels of engineering, or in astoundingly beautiful locations that are a pleasure to view (even if only through a camera). There’s just something a little off putting about showing us a home that 99% of us still won’t be able to afford, but calling it “affordable.” Better to just say “Luxury ADU” and let a few people be pleasantly surprised that it could offer us an affordable housing solution way, way, way down the road.
Quit bitching n watch
would make more sense if they were cheaper than real house, not MORE expensive then them
The recessed light and plugs are very nice looking but... In reality they are a nightmare! They will eventually need to be changed if damaged or if the owner wants to add more plugs etc, that means that you will have to make a hole into the wall just to get them out
This doesn’t feel right without Mikey.
What happened?
yea where is Mikey?
i miss him
Hope he comes back.
Channel probably grew out of Mikey, unless he's doing more behind the scenes
Last week someone said that there had been a falling out over money. Shame, if so,because Enes and Mikey started the channel together.
For $350k you can build something much larger with conventional building.
Absolutely, they want $823/sq ft, that's crazy!
thanks for the input!
Absolutely, budget considerations are key! Traditional builds offer different options. Thanks for the input
Obviously, this is prefab for those not interested in "conventional" for example you wouldn't usually make 3D printed parts of a building on-site.
@@facetiouslyinsolent8313well it’s not crazy in many countries. It’s crazy in the US but not in many others. I’ve been to many countries before, some charging a min of $1000 and you can’t get anything, perhaps a parking space for 350k.
>me: wow this would be amazing for 50K-75K
>$350,000
...wut?
The house looks nice (besides price) but I’m curious how this ages and how repairable it is if something goes wrong. Overall cool concept and idea.
The garage ceiling is very low.
As someone in the trades, this is my concern as well. Space efficiency is great, but those dead spaces behind walls, ceilings, etc are not just unused. That being said, they leave the seams exposed inside so maybe you can just pop off panels and easily access the internals which may be even better than having to cut sheetrock then repair it as we do currently. Also it looks like they have enough lights and outlets that you probably wouldn't need to be adding a bunch post-build.
You lost me when you had some rich Silicon Valley bro tell me his goal is affordable housing but charges $350k for under 500sq ft.
350K for 3000 sq ft, then we can talk. Haha that thing is smaller than my studio apartment.
It’s honestly insulting how expensive this is 😂
22:32 It's moments of editing/humour like this that make me appreciate your videos more. Kudos to the editors for this!
I feel like the idea of tiny house has gone out of context. Its definitely not affordable or sustainable.
enes wears sneakers when he tours cheap houses
I just said this in my head to myself. 😂 😂😂😂😂
Sure, a small house that’s beautiful and has all the bells and whistles is nice, and probably makes sense to someone who has lots of money and limited space to build, or just wants a small weekend getaway, but for most people it’s simply too much money for a tiny house, especially when you can have a really nice tiny house built for $125k or so. To each their own.
There is a saying that even though a sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.
This mini-mansion can be described with this sentence!
It’s great, we finally got to see a mini-mansion that the average person can probably afford, and I love it!
I like the concept of it being surrounded by wooden boards, like living in nature or a tropical forest, it feels warm!
I also like its sliding glass assembly, which allows the entire mini mansion to have plenty of natural light!
The amazing thing about the studio was that it was alike a functional B&B Apartment, fully equipped!
It’s great to be able to design your own mini-mansion. You must feel very happy living in it!
The plot of playing the game at the end really made me feel happy.
Happiness is actually around you, waiting for you to discover it at any time, it is just so easy!
The only thing that makes me curious is how soundproofing it is? If this is okay, it's perfect for me!
Thanks a lot for sharing, really great job! Enes, I wish you all a happy Christmas holiday and a great coming year! 👍🎅🙌❤🎁🎄🎉
Regarding the first home: I love Silver Lake in Los Angeles. That home is definitely surrounded by multi-million dollar homes. My lender/homebuilder recently recommended these guys to me but I need at least 2000-sqft. I’ve worked in construction and know that the cost of this home is due to the [foundation] engineering on the slope with a retaining wall. Find a flat parcel and deduct 100-150k.
Take a drink every time the word “minimalist “ is mentioned.
This is absurd. I moved to Texas from Miami and purchased a 4 bedroom 3 baths home with a huge backyard for 340k. Brand new too.
You could have got a bigger home and more land in a different state.
Yeah but you have to live in Texas.
@@ChristopherSmithNYC EXACTLY!!!! 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😆😆
engineers from Apple, Tesla ? nah, i only need Pablo, Juan to build my house
If it's build like a Tesla it would mean it's going to go up in flames.
Yeah, Tesla: built like crap, hugely inferior to proper cars being noisier & less comfortable, missing so many comforts & features, and you overpay for blatant lies they constantly tell you. Tesla promised millions of people would be *_making money_* with their fully self-driving robo-taxi Teslas in 2019...
And it's even horrible for society: Built unsustainably, supports 🇨🇳 and goes against then interests of the West, and needs so much subsidies your tax burden goes up massively.
It's your mind that's up in flames.
Learn how statistics works and GTFО with whatever little anecdotes you've come "armed" with, kid.
Tesla Y is now most popular car model in world.
@@aleksandra4653 Maybe just because other car companies offer more choice of models, while Tesla only offers two versions of two models. Also because corrupt governments like mainly the evil 🇨🇳 have forced it upon us...also causing everyone to have to pay thousands more every year in more taxes to pay for the massive subsidies for the cars, for their manufacture, for the batteries, for the charging network, everything!
Above all Tesla only made it because they scammed everyone with lies about people going to make money if they buy Teslas, Musk said that in 2019 people will make thousands because their Teslas will make them money as robo-taxis while they sit at home.
It's all a huge scam. And an environmental disaster.
@@aleksandra4653 Which is irrelevant to the point made.
350K for that small of space is ridiculous.
Remember where you came from Enes. Without your subscribers, especially the ogs, you wouldnt be where you are today. We love Mikey.

@@snufferhansi9625 he was liberated.
i like it. It's small, yet you have everything you need for life, even big garage.
Everything is perfect without cost 😊
The big issue i see is security with this. They key fob system is a bad idea, cars are regularly broken into and stolen that have key fobs and no physical keys with the use of a repeater, with this system if you leave a extra key in the house, or if you are sleeping and have the key in the house the repeater can easily open up your sliding glass doors and now you are in danger.
I agree. I do not like the key fob system.
People who are brainwashed to buy Teslas that freeze in the winter and can't drive further than around 200 miles before you have to spend the night to charge it arent't the least bit concerned about common sense things like safety or locks on the doors... you watch, people in places like Los Angeles will be buying these hand over fist.
glad I live in the country where I know 20 guys who can build something like this from scratch
that is expensive af for such a small house im assuming the land cost wasn't included.
It better be for that amount, imagine paying $350k and not even having the land included in that price.
I would LOVE to binge on this content, tiny houses, old vintage abandoned houses, not only the fancy stuff that I will never get to see in real life!!!
Loved this!!
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come!
Spending less on a 3,000 sqft home in a nice area is truly efficient, and the money savings cover the extra utilities if it’s higher for many many many many years. That’s a storage container on top of a slab with a garage door under it.
This price works as an ADU in California where median home prices exceed $1M and nice rentals with garages are few and expensive. Increase your home’s value and rent out the tiny house.

Only in America the garage can be as large as a house. As others have said the house is way too expensive. The Cover website only says something generic about "our homes pass the most rigorous energy standards". But there are no energy numbers or rating.
My new home comes with pre-fabricated walls, too. But I will get 36 cm of clay and not plastic.
I will never understand the obsession with energy standards. I open my windows everyday unless its humid outside so why would I care about energy efficiency
@@SusanChristmas Energy efficiency = money. Of course, I open my windows in late spring to early autumn. But not in winter. And many houses shown by Enes have ACs which also cost money.
@@beatrixwillius I love opening my windows in the winter and keeping the air at 63 in the summer. I like it cold. I should realise other people would rather spend less on these things. I save in other areas I don't go to the salon for hair or nails and I don't like to travel and prefer to cook at home so I guess this makes up for the extra cost in heat and air.
@@SusanChristmas why pay more for extra cost when are better options? no logic
@@DEUSMUSHISHI What better options ? I like fresh air. I live in a home that's over a 100 years old. I would never want to live in a new energy efficient home where things are sealed up tight it's not even healthy. When I was growing up people opened there windows especially if someone was sick in the house.
Enes, I always told my stepdad that I want to be an architectural modern home design, engineering. I can sketch a very modern house. My dad say that I am an artist. The videos you create gives me more awesome idea of sketching my own modern house. I always wanted to live in a very modern house.
By the end of the process it’s a million dollar home
These prefab home manufactures are absolutely INSANE.
How they even have a business is beyond me.
there is no logical reason to spend the money on this house this size unless you have so much money you just want to blow it in this.
I love your content as always Enes, but could you however give us an update on where Mikey is, we have been missing him for sometime.
Mikey is currently on a well-deserved break! Thanks for your support.
@@EnesYilmazer Ah thank you for clearing up, that's great that he is! You guys have been working hard that despite the great work you guys have been doing, you also look out for each other and give each other timely breaks. You guys have my full support!
I can't decide: if this home looks like a trailer or this trailer looks like a home? Indeed this shipping-container-home concept is too much futuristic for me.)
If it's less than 500 square feet, why would there be a need for a two-car garage? Would a one car garage be better suited with the remaining space dedicated to much-needed additional room?
It was designed by someone who does not live in the real world. Apparently they live on an iphone.
Dead on correct. So much time looking at their device, can’t do math.
I was thinking the same thing. I rather park on the street or in a driveway. That garage is a complete waste of space.
@@FraZzJ Most people prefer their own private parking than street parking.
500k for a 2BR? You can get a local GC to build way cheaper.
LOL... A tiny home built like a Tesla? Guys, it has cement in the garage!!!! It has an electrical panel and a water heater. Oh boy, I am getting my check book! I wonder how much they paid Enes to do this video with a straight face?
Just to mention that i appreciate the work you do Enes
Thank you so much! means a lot!
350k in a tiny home is daylight rubbery. Nahh ama go buy me a sprinter van for 70k and have me a car, a house, with some change.
The price is crazy for the size. The idea is interesting but this is for sure early adopter tax levels.
The garage height is too low at this location. Even if you don't need it for a larger vehicle the no headroom is a complete downside.
I mostly want to see how the cosmetic paneling works. Can these be moved post construction? How do you deal with hanging wall objects? How do you deal with any electrical changes that might come up? How easy are repairs for that and plumbing? Or how easy are repairs in general with the prefab sections. These are the real important questions.
Nice to see something that is NOT $300m and does not have 95 bathrooms. It got tired , this is refreshing
For that price, I can build a 2500 sq. ft. home in Texas.
I think is expensive, to say the least. I will compare apples with pears; but for that price you can buy a 4 bedroom 4 baths with a large garden (pool included), by example in Mérida, Mexico. So, I know that is California, but they still need to get the price down.
Where is Mikey? Enes, you should tour a house by the people who have a contract to build houses on other planets. I think they were featured on 60 Minutes.

i started watching enes when he had only 300 subscribers, and look at those 3 mil subs. This is inspiring!
I started when he was at 20k but look how far he came by far my favourite channel for home tours OF ALL TIME
Madness this is robbery
Yeah, unless you're talking about a condo in downtown Manhattan or Beverly Hills, this is way too expensive. I do think it looks very nice, and I appreciate the fact that there's just one company that takes care of all the paperwork (well, for California/LA) and then it goes up quickly on site. There are several questions/comments though. 1) What's the lead time before they start building? 2) You were using wide angle lenses that make everything look bigger. It was particularly noticeable on the outside deck. It looked like it was 100 feet long through the camera, but it's probably only 40 feet. So walking around the rooms saying "look how spacious" is somewhat deceiving. 3) As a realtor, you know when people look at houses that are over 15 years old they always talk about remodeling. This looks like you're stuck with what's there. If someone wants to remodel the bathroom, how is that done when everything is prefab? Is close the only company that can do the remodel?, etc. I just remodeled a couple of bathrooms that involved tearing down walls and rerouting plumbing. I don't see how that's doable here. 4) Those walls looked pretty thin. Insulation? Maybe the panels can be made thicker (don't know since I haven't checked out the manufacturer's website. 5) rooms always look bigger when there's nothing in them and no clutter. Have someone live in there for 9 months and then drop in unexpected to see how much room they really have to work with and not once you've cleaned everything out and thrown away, so it looks good when someone visits. 6) Kinda related to #3, this looks like your own personal apartment. Now, if you outgrow an apartment, you just go somewhere else. Is the intent here that every 6 years you sell a prefab house and go into another one? I really did like the look of the place ... and I think it looked great as an ADU .... but it looks like it's really only useable as an apartment alternative (and darn nice alternative) that you "throw away" when you've outgrown it or need a change.
The only $350k homes you will find in that area would be tear downs. This is actually very affordable for California.
To live in this house, you'll even need room service.

I lived in a tiny home and loved it , I want to do that again , because in reality you really don't really need a lot of things or space , just enough for your individual needs
I appreciate what they're trying to do. The price is a little too steep at the moment, but I guess with time they'll explore some new materials and techniques, eventually bringing the price down and the quality up. I'll be sure to follow their progress in the future.
Yeah American companies are always looking at how to charge less.
No it won’t, the prices never come down. 😂
This is what I think too. I think the Cover company can be the Tesla for homes.
@@venom5809 wrong
I live in the SF Bay Area in a 600sq ft 1 bedroom condo community. My neighbor just listed his Condo for $350K. In all honesty, I would jump on this tiny home in an heartbeat, given the design and amenities. The kicker is that the unit price is inclusive. The next kicker is that you could immediately sell the unit for $700K in this market. Instant equity! Yea!
350k tiny home?! yup I'm moving to Brazil lol
This house should not cost over 150K.
My grandparents owned a Sears catalog Home in VA. Later on I ended up working for Sears construction Division building the homes for a short time before it became Subcontractor only. It would shock you the amount of jobs they had available that had nothing to do with product sales.
Cover’s profit margin must be ginormous.
Great content Enes. Not sold on the thermal properties on this build, maybe ok for LA. Slick design but, 'Democratising architecture' is a bit steep...It's a pre-fab dude... what's next.. making wheels round again ? Buy an Airstream and drive it straight out of LA if you want to spend some money & live in a nice small space :) Happy 2024 everyone.
Why isn't the light panel centered with the stove vent especially considering it's pre fabricated...???
As many other commenters have pointed out, the tiny house itself could work out great and I like the idea but the price is out of this world. Either this tiny home is located in an area surrounded by homes that are super expensive so it naturally pushes the price of this tiny home to astronomical heights, or it is incredibly overpriced. From the looks of it though - these will mainly more than likely be used as guest houses on larger estates instead of a primary home. Great video as always!
Thank you for sharing!
Love the idea, housing is getting expensvie and a small comfortable house is so helpful
Absolutely! Happy you appreciate the concept!
Sure, if it were 50,000 thousand dollars. But paying over 300,000k for this is just outright idiotic.
