We toured these in Mesa, AZ, and really want to work with these guys, but they are unable to give us any idea of a delivery date. You give them $100 to be on the list, but that doesn't seem to do much for you. We are looking at a two+ year time frame, but we need a definitive date they could deliver to us so we can coordinate all of the other site work that needs to be done and not end up homeless if the house isn't delivered. We asked them a week ago: "Can you guarantee a Summer 2026 delivery anytime from June through August?" Their response was "We don't commit to delivery dates". We're about as flexible as it gets, but we need some level of commitment from the builder. If you can't commit to deliver two years from now, it just doesn't work for us. Great product, great price though!
Wow, that's good info! I love the house too, but I'd be in the same position as you.....site prep before delivery...so that's disappointing as hell about delivery dates not given! It's an outstanding price, good affordability, & I love it, but....
Boy do I appreciate this information! I, too, am completely enamored by the product and eager to learn more and to follow though on a purchase, but what you’ve described are very distressing business practices that put the brakes on anybody’s enthusiasm. What are they thinking?
Great house I really enjoyed the tour when I was in mesa. I was a little bit irritated about the $25000 increase before the even Got any on the market..
I love it when Kerry takes his comedy routine on the road. This is one of the better homes I have seen, right down to the kitchen arrangement. Love the hidden storage and I think a lot of people would be happy to live in one of those.
The prefab house model is so beautiful, the interior is modern and smart, it saves space. The bed hidden on the ceiling is very smart. Thank you for sharing the beautiful house model for everyone to visit and learn.
this is a good refab home, i like the attention to detail like the wall hung toilet, it's rare in North America to see those and it's good to see them spending more on quality and modern stuff like that. they've been the standard in europe for over 30 years now so it's good to see them become more "common" in the states.
@@zennihome6405 yup absolutely, but i have hope, hope that european designs will come to America. Canada is a lot further in that transition than the US.
Excellent! I like the dual-use spaces. I also like galley kitchens---they save steps for the cook and it gives me a reason to send people to the living room so they're not underfoot. The hidden closet is VERY cool. Thanks for the video, Kerry.
Very nice! One thing crossed my mind… when either the fridge or dishwasher or microwave need to be replaced, wonder whether a replacement will be available? Appliances do expire so being able to replace is critical.
Glad to see the drop down bed is an option as I have some concerns about it and would likely use the Murphy bed instead. I'd like to tour one however it amazes me how many windows most units have. Personally I can see myself keeping many of them covered most of the time as not into feeling like a fish. Other than that I love the layout and glad to see more reasonably priced units.
The Murphy beds are great as well. We have smart shades on the windows of our prototype units and love the ease of opening and closing them depending on time of day. Glad you like it!
I AM ALLLLL FOR a space that uses that bed that lowers from the ceiling… LOVE THIS + lots of windows + the pull out closet.. I loved seeing this in an apt in NYC and thought it was the most efficient and genius solution.
The one change I would make is having natural light come into the shower via small rectangular windows towards the ceiling, or just add more led accent lighting. Seemed a tad dark in there
I love this home that I first saw on your channel. I had a deposit on it for almost a year (they originally said it would be available for Colorado in 2024.) Last month Zenni told me that they would not be ready for Colorado anytime soon. I was so disappointed as I loved this house so much. I think that they got so many orders in AZ that they don't have time to get approved in other states for the forseeable future. Good for them... not so good for me. So I continue to look.
Impressive exterior configuration and the interior is Spectacular! Windows , hydraulics, design, large bathroom and lovely kitchen is the icing on the cake. Chef's kiss 💋,
Kerry: I really enjoy your videos and this one is certainly one of the most imaginative designs you've shows. But being from Canada (definitely a 4 season piece of geography) I am surprised that you rarely talk about the thermal characteristics of the homes. I mean, maybe the folks in Mesa don't care that much, but the home seems like it would be almost impossible to heat. So my suggestion is that you tell us whether these homes come with complete HVAC and, if so, how effective are the insulation properties of the homes. I would go for the Citizen because so much of space usage has been rethought....but in the mountains of Utah (where I live)....would it work? Anyhow, keep up the good work in covering a housing niche where you really have a corner on the market. Thx.
@@ravennielsen0513 R35 is certainly adequate, but with all the window space(?). Thermo-pane windows are better than old single pane windows....but the certainly aren't R35 (unless something has changed recently)....and the Citizen looks like it is about 50% glass on outside walls. So the question stands based on window space.
This is a very cool house! I just wish there were more prefabs with slanted or peaked roofs. I live in an area where it rains a LOT - sometimes up to 3" at a time, and a flat-roofed house simply wouldn't work. Oh, well. I enjoy your channel and the creativity many of the houses have.
We do have a small pitch to the roof to encourage water draining. Standing water is never good on a roof. We don't do peaked roofs as we aim to maintain stackability of our units. Hope that helps!
Nice to see yet another long featured prefab company come to life with a finished home. 🏠 Fantastic walkthrough and showcasing of the home. The blond wood they include in the interior really makes the home pop IMO. So as great as the space usage is, the interior looks don’t take a backseat. It’s a good looking home inside and out. 🏅 The futuristic approach to multitasking spaces within the home is both innovative and unique. I wouldn’t be surprised if some other companies find ways of coping this approach/philosophy. 🤔 I love this update Kerry. I’m gonna watch it again a few more times. Bravo. 👏🏽🤩🙌
Perfect layout and very usable. Only changes I'd make personally is scrap the spare desk/bed in the back for a full size sit/stand to build out a proper office for working at home, and maybe slightly upgraded designer look tile in the bathroom vs the floor to ceiling subway.
It’s a very nice unit. And very cleverly laid out. My one question for you Kerry if you lose power, are you still able to lower the bed and open the closet? Without a manual back up this might percent a bit of a problem. cheers!
Heat pump , generator, solar ....I'm not taking electricity or gas for granted anywhere- not in this climate emergency.. This is the place I want Though. ❤️ 🎉
You have to love how big spaces seem with a wide angle lens. $125K is a great price for this much home. Add land, site prep, permits and inspections and likely $190k if you get a couple acres in Arkansas . In like Flynn.
I like the bed and closet idea. With the exception of dining rooms the center of most rooms is walking space and not usable, so having the wall move out temporarily makes good use of it.
I quite like this home. One thing I have noticed in these homes is no openable windows?! Where's the fresh air? These home made new would obviously be gassing off some impressive VOC's and that concerns me. Does this company offer windows that open? Thanks Kerry ! I am seriously investigating these homes as I want to purchase one and place on a lot with amenities in a small town because housing in the cities has lost it's collective minds.
I too am curious how much extra the bed option costs. Also if you are put on that 2 year wait list does it secure today’s cost or could that change when it’s time to build & deliver?
Great video, like all the others! Your presentation is informative and fun, great fun! Very cool layout, like all the dual functions. Love the bathroom; generous space. Thanks for another video!
Please find some awesome things like this on the east coast U.S. It would cost us $60k just to have this shipped here. Ugh and we LOVE it! Such a bummer. Thanks for showing these!
That won’t even sale to individuals. I find that a lot. I live in Ga. I found modern modular out of Canada that ships but they haven’t given you a quote on the shipping so I’m beginning to wonder about them. Maybe Stillwater would bring me one but that cost starts at 750 a sq foot! That’s insane.
Hey Kerry, really weird finally seeing you here, almost feels like you sneaked into my place while I was shopping LOL. My unit the Citizen was finished and moved out of the factory a couple of weeks ago, and I got a video of the move out, very impressive. My hold up now are the final permits and the set up. Glad you got a chance to take a peek, but you forgot the stacked washer and dryer, oh and they have some nice upgrades since the prototypes. Happy travels.
The descending bed, dual use spaces, and ample windows are all solid features. I'm no prude, but I'd probably prefer a slightly more opaque door for a bathroom.
Missed your visit to Mesa. Please give us a heads up next time and maybe we can take over Tacos Chiwas or Gus’s Chicken, Cider Corps or another local spot. Your video reminded me to check on this company again and so I scheduled a tour on their website for the end of the month and am looking forward to it. Seeing the robotic bed and closet in action will be a treat.
OMG, that is one of the best "Small Designs" I have ever seen, I am getting all my Designers to watch this video and I want to see this "Swedish IKEA design" on my desk tomorrow morning!
I get it that you want lots of windows in a small home, but that assumes two things: you've got a place to plant it that has good views and you don't give a damn about energy efficiency. All that glass! I'm wondering if anyone is building highly energy efficient modular/factory-built homes-especially those with sustainable materials and more nontoxic materials (no VOCs, for example). Am I the only one who's looking for these qualities??
Great square footage for the price but I would point out that you could use that elevated bed in any home. It is a cool system but it’s not a Zenni thing and it’s not integral to the design. The name of the system is the Ori I think aka robotic furniture and it can be purchased separately for any space.
The houses are lovely and spacious feeling. But, it's all great until the motors die or the power goes out. Simpler is better. It might be more attractive with a pulley system. The pull-down bed with desk is great. I've considered getting one for my guest room. The only real disappointment is lack of natural light in the bathrooms.
So you didn't mention that there are no doors to the bedrooms. That needed to be stated and addressed because it's a sleeping space more than a bedroom. Agreed?
I have been there as well and looked at both units. The 320Sq ft one as well as the 640sq ft Citizen. Despite it being twice as big it's not twice the price which is nice. I was told that the bed and closet is additional cost. The outside decking I was told was included in the price. Impressive and very good use of space. They are in the process of building another factory. They are also going to construct a complex right down the block from these models to have 29 of them stackable for the development of a small complex.
Pretty nice for James Bond but not me. Boxabl Casitas still leads the pack as an economical prefab reflection of who I am. A 64 year old that likes being off the grid and knows the power goes out sometimes ha. Cheers💜
The main livingroom TV size is a downer and the only way of putting a much larger size TV is to perhaps install a retractable TV arm that can allow you to install a 65-75" TV but everything else is just amazing!
It’d be very cool if there were an option for at least 2 of ANY those massive glass wall windows to just open up and give equal amounts of fresh air along with that amazing natural light. A very Good find sir. Thank you.
Lovely. Where is the laundry? Also, for people who cook in their kitchens, it is nice to have counter space next to the refrigerator door so you can remove all the ingredients from the refrigerator and have a place to put the food down.
Agree. In this home I'd use a small two-tier kitchen trolley (one that folds up and away after use), especially for making my typical multi-vegatable multi-protein entree salads.
Keerrryyy- look at you on the road again!! Excellent hat trick on "ginch" usage. Uber cool design; love the cloud bed. Somehow hard to believe it'll be anywhere near just $125k when all the cool stuff is added. But thanks!🇨🇦
Gotta love what is going on in this. I watch lots of tiny house nation and finally this uses so much of Zack-isms like the Murphy bed desk that allows things to stay in place. I guess we’re at the point where things will improve quickly and if they can’t produce the homes, some investors will swoop in and buy the business.
The problem with so many of these prefabs and Modulars is that these new builders don’t seem to understand what’s really required to permit, deliver, and install one of these in any given location and foist off way too much risk onto the buyer. We’ve gone pretty far down the road with two of these new age manufacturers and just gave up because it was clear that between the local builder and the manufacturer, there were all kinds of things that were going to be left in the lap of the buyer. For instance what happens if the foundation is not quite right when it gets delivered. No local builder will take responsibility, and neither would the manufacturers. Try finding a local builder willing to even work with one of these things-good luck. We’re in VT, and nobody wants to build a prefab or deal with a modular because the experiences have been so bad and builders don’t make their usual profits dealing with these things. The only way I’d ever entertain buying something like this is if the manufacturer takes on the entire project as well as assumes all warranty risk of completion. Have yet to see anybody offering that. Until they do, all these prefabs and Modulars are doomed to gather dust on back volumes of dwell as so many before. Anybody who buys one without understanding the risks they are taking when neither the builder nor manufacturer will cover everything is going to be in for a bad surprise. These videos are fun to watch, but there are some fundamental flaws in the whole prefab concept that make these just mirages, and ultimately a waste of time. Just find a good builder and stick build the thing. It’ll be far better and won’t necessarily cost any more or damage the planet anymore.
Dude, came to Arizona and didn't call first? Bummer. Still cool to see the video, and got to see it in person a few months ago. Did you make it up to their factory in Page? Some cool stuff going on up there.
Yo, love this show-and- tell style video. You should more of these; more intriguing. Also, the house is the one one of the best ones to date -- high on my rating scale. Thanks for sharing!
Interesting overall but seems to be an efficiency apartment for bachelors who eat out , not a couple or family because has an inefficient kitchen/eating area layout that isn't designed for food prep. The working triangle is the worst possible for a galley kitchen (long fridge to stove). Rotating the galley to the (outside) wall and moving the fridge immediately adjacent to it would make more sense, shortening the triangle by more than half ,and move the dishes and dishwasher next to the dining room. It would help center the entry to those distinct areas. The galley doesn't have storage suitable for non-perishable food which could be incorporated into a slightly deeper INTERIOR wall with a shallow working counter. They need to get a GOOD kitchen architect, one who cooks for a family and who cares more about the utility than the finishes, as a consultant.
Like the price and the home and all the big windows, tho i still want a shower AND tub...But i think there is a kind of portable foldable kind of tub that can be put inside a shower stall to make a deep tub you sit more upright in which would be perfect for me. I would like to know the price of the living room bed. (The only drawback is if the electric goes you can't get your bed back up or down, right?) OH, and i especially love the "hidden" fridge and the moveable 'walk in closet' (genius ). I think i might like that better than the normal walk in or regular closets.
I did not think this house was worth the money the first time you featured them with pictures from their website. Seeing it through your walkthrough shows it in a completely different light. It’s totally worth it!!
Looks like they got a special on white paint.I would like to see something that is amazing.Not just ordinary white bathrooms with white tiles.Have you got a special place that has that wow factor?Maybe this company can get an interior decorator to spice things up a little bit.
So glad you finally got to see one in person! I have one of the very first units on order, but am currently working on the logistic of the land for it. Are you going to do a video on the Denizen too?
I'd be really concerned about a motorized bed breaking down and not being able to use it for an extended period of time while parts are on order. Who's going to come out and fix it?
I have loved this company since you first showed us the first time. My concern is what if I don't like that couch cushions? Still love it. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool, very stylish🤩 I wonder if the motors that run the hydraulic drop-down bed and walk-in closet would last very long with everyday usage-or expensive to repair/replace?
So the Citizen has no real bedrooms. The cloud bed is an extra cost and it's only a Murphy bed in a small office space. The extra counter and storage in the kitchen is extra as well. And my goodness place a solid sliding door in the bathroom.
We toured these in Mesa, AZ, and really want to work with these guys, but they are unable to give us any idea of a delivery date. You give them $100 to be on the list, but that doesn't seem to do much for you. We are looking at a two+ year time frame, but we need a definitive date they could deliver to us so we can coordinate all of the other site work that needs to be done and not end up homeless if the house isn't delivered.

I sure hope they get it together. This is a great looking house.
Boy do I appreciate this information! I, too, am completely enamored by the product and eager to learn more and to follow though on a purchase, but what you’ve described are very distressing business practices that put the brakes on anybody’s enthusiasm. What are they thinking?

It’s about time! Cleaning the floor around floor-mounted toilets is ridiculous. Even the base of the toilet itself. I am so ready for wall-mounted!
We've learned a lot from designs and building methods overseas! Lots of great designs that should be more common here in the US.
@@zennihome6405 yup absolutely, but i have hope, hope that european designs will come to America. Canada is a lot further in that transition than the US.

Future iterations of our homes will have improvements here. already in the works 💪
Another good option for additional natural light would be a solar tube (very good in hot sunny climates due to their small footprint on the roof)
@@3101home never heard of it until now. This is such a great idea! Perfect for the space

We are working hard to eventually be approved in all 50 states. This is still the goal with 4 advanced factories across the US.
@@zennihome6405 : Good, may need one for Louisiana.
and others for Ohio
Are they still not available in Colorado ?
I love the clean lines of this house inside and out. It has those clean Scandinavian lines that I really love.

You said it yourself. Very clever use of space! I would like to see one in person.
Tours are available if you’re in Mesa
This is a single guy’s dream. What versatility and light.
Correct!
😎
im concerned that itll start falling apart after 20 years, meaning the money mightve been better spent on a conventional home.

“Flat” roofs are never totally flat, and usually handle rain just fine. It’s snow you need to worry about.
I think this home has a water retention solution. If you choose along with solar, it can be off the grid. There is a slant on the roof.
Millions of commercial buildings with flat roofs are in the rainiest parts of the US and the world. Not a problem.
We do have a small pitch to the roof to encourage water draining. Standing water is never good on a roof. We don't do peaked roofs as we aim to maintain stackability of our units. Hope that helps!

Excellent question and mine as well.
Yes, there are manual ways to lower the bed & open the closet.
The bed is counter balanced so it is super easy to do it manually, and the closet is just on wheels!
Ori's furniture is counterweighted. You can easily lift and lower the bed without power. Great engineering!
Heat pump , generator, solar ....I'm not taking electricity or gas for granted anywhere- not in this climate emergency..
This is the place I want
Though.

Like the design and functionality a lot ... will speak to other builders that may be able to and likely mimic /enhance elements of this model.
Very nice, very nice indeed.
glad you like it!
Very attractive space. I recall your coverage of this type from the past. Reality is nice. Thx Kerry
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
ingenius!...I love it and the price is right on the money at $200kish a sq. ft
So you didn't mention that there are no doors to the bedrooms. That needed to be stated and addressed because it's a sleeping space more than a bedroom. Agreed?
I think it’s well designed. Thanks for the content.
Thanks for watching
Amazing. I'm impressed.
Thanks for actually going there and showing me!!! This is going to be a seriously hard one to knock out of my top spot!!
Wow thats great. Thanks for watching Kimberly 😃
Kimberly, another great home is the Lloyoll Skali. You've got to check them out. It's still my #1 choice.
I have been there as well and looked at both units. The 320Sq ft one as well as the 640sq ft Citizen. Despite it being twice as big it's not twice the price which is nice. I was told that the bed and closet is additional cost. The outside decking I was told was included in the price. Impressive and very good use of space. They are in the process of building another factory. They are also going to construct a complex right down the block from these models to have 29 of them stackable for the development of a small complex.
@nyaz1749 The complex is going to be a 90 unit apartment complex using 60 Citizen and 30 Denizen!
We love that YOU love it
I love it! One of my top 3 all time favs! Thanks Kerry! You're terrific and funny 2!
That’s great to hear! Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
So where is the heating system, hot water heater, laundry located?
Pretty nice for James Bond but not me. Boxabl Casitas still leads the pack as an economical prefab reflection of who I am. A 64 year old that likes being off the grid and knows the power goes out sometimes ha. Cheers💜
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
The main livingroom TV size is a downer and the only way of putting a much larger size TV is to perhaps install a retractable TV arm that can allow you to install a 65-75" TV but everything else is just amazing!
Amazing how you got a shot if the exterior of the plane. You're really raising your UA-cam channel game.
haha thank you!
Zenni zenni zenni great tour love the extra extended yard the deck great tour!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’d be very cool if there were an option for at least 2 of ANY those massive glass wall windows to just open up and give equal amounts of fresh air along with that amazing natural light. A very Good find sir. Thank you.
This is an outstanding design, Kerry❤
Glad you like it
Lovely. Where is the laundry? Also, for people who cook in their kitchens, it is nice to have counter space next to the refrigerator door so you can remove all the ingredients from the refrigerator and have a place to put the food down.
Agree. In this home I'd use a small two-tier kitchen trolley (one that folds up and away after use), especially for making my typical multi-vegatable multi-protein entree salads.
Thanks again. I will add ginch to my vocabulary. Learn something new every day. Thanks Kerry!
Haha you bet!
Keerrryyy- look at you on the road again!! Excellent hat trick on "ginch" usage. Uber cool design; love the cloud bed. Somehow hard to believe it'll be anywhere near just $125k when all the cool stuff is added. But thanks!🇨🇦
THIS IS MY IDEAL HOME. Sorry for my excitement but this checked off everything on my wish list. Awesome videos
Great to hear! Thanks 🙌🏼
This is exciting news! Thanks for the grand tour 🎉
You’re welcome!
❤❤❤ the modern style ,lots of light,& bathroom ✨ … also loved that my Orange Element was already there , must be my Home Sweet Home🤣
Gotta love what is going on in this.
I watch lots of tiny house nation and finally this uses so much of Zack-isms like the Murphy bed desk that allows things to stay in place.
I guess we’re at the point where things will improve quickly and if they can’t produce the homes, some investors will swoop in and buy the business.
Exactly
Transforming spaces is the future!
Do any of these windows or large glass panels even open? No desire to live with no fresh air.
BRILLIANT! This is the most attractive and efficient design I have seen in a long time. Absolutely love the CITIZEN.
Glad you like it!
@@KerryTarnow : where IS THE washer AND dryer?

Kerry, Thank you. Irene from Indiana
Thanks for watching Irene!
The problem with so many of these prefabs and Modulars is that these new builders don’t seem to understand what’s really required to permit, deliver, and install one of these in any given location and foist off way too much risk onto the buyer. We’ve gone pretty far down the road with two of these new age manufacturers and just gave up because it was clear that between the local builder and the manufacturer, there were all kinds of things that were going to be left in the lap of the buyer. For instance what happens if the foundation is not quite right when it gets delivered. No local builder will take responsibility, and neither would the manufacturers. Try finding a local builder willing to even work with one of these things-good luck. We’re in VT, and nobody wants to build a prefab or deal with a modular because the experiences have been so bad and builders don’t make their usual profits dealing with these things. The only way I’d ever entertain buying something like this is if the manufacturer takes on the entire project as well as assumes all warranty risk of completion. Have yet to see anybody offering that. Until they do, all these prefabs and Modulars are doomed to gather dust on back volumes of dwell as so many before. Anybody who buys one without understanding the risks they are taking when neither the builder nor manufacturer will cover everything is going to be in for a bad surprise. These videos are fun to watch, but there are some fundamental flaws in the whole prefab concept that make these just mirages, and ultimately a waste of time. Just find a good builder and stick build the thing. It’ll be far better and won’t necessarily cost any more or damage the planet anymore.
The houses have a nice modern look.
100%
Dude, came to Arizona and didn't call first? Bummer. Still cool to see the video, and got to see it in person a few months ago. Did you make it up to their factory in Page? Some cool stuff going on up there.
Haha! Not yet, hopefully soon
Yo, love this show-and- tell style video. You should more of these; more intriguing. Also, the house is the one one of the best ones to date -- high on my rating scale. Thanks for sharing!
More coming!
This is amazing. One of my new favorites.
Great!
My friend lives in Mesa. Thanks for the tour.
Thanks for watching
Interesting overall but seems to be an efficiency apartment for bachelors who eat out , not a couple or family because has an inefficient kitchen/eating area layout that isn't designed for food prep. The working triangle is the worst possible for a galley kitchen (long fridge to stove). Rotating the galley to the (outside) wall and moving the fridge immediately adjacent to it would make more sense, shortening the triangle by more than half ,and move the dishes and dishwasher next to the dining room. It would help center the entry to those distinct areas. The galley doesn't have storage suitable for non-perishable food which could be incorporated into a slightly deeper INTERIOR wall with a shallow working counter. They need to get a GOOD kitchen architect, one who cooks for a family and who cares more about the utility than the finishes, as a consultant.
Wow !!! Ya Kerry really cool. Nice Find.
Thanks!
Like the price and the home and all the big windows, tho i still want a shower AND tub...But i think there is a kind of portable foldable kind of tub that can be put inside a shower stall to make a deep tub you sit more upright in which would be perfect for me. I would like to know the price of the living room bed. (The only drawback is if the electric goes you can't get your bed back up or down, right?) OH, and i especially love the "hidden" fridge and the moveable 'walk in closet' (genius ). I think i might like that better than the normal walk in or regular closets.
I did not think this house was worth the money the first time you featured them with pictures from their website. Seeing it through your walkthrough shows it in a completely different light. It’s totally worth it!!
Nice! Thanks for watching
Looks like they got a special on white paint.I would like to see something that is amazing.Not just ordinary white bathrooms with white tiles.Have you got a special place that has that wow factor?Maybe this company can get an interior decorator to spice things up a little bit.
So glad you finally got to see one in person! I have one of the very first units on order, but am currently working on the logistic of the land for it. Are you going to do a video on the Denizen too?
Yes! It’ll prob be up Thurs
Absolutely beautiful! The guest bed is so damn cool!
Right?
I love this home!
Thanks for watching
Fabulous design!
Glad you like it
Thanks, Kerry!
Thanks for watching
This is not only beautiful but practical. Great job showing it and I love the kitchen most of all because I have a galley kitchen. New sub
Thanks! Glad you like it
I'd be really concerned about a motorized bed breaking down and not being able to use it for an extended period of time while parts are on order. Who's going to come out and fix it?
I have loved this company since you first showed us the first time.
My concern is what if I don't like that couch cushions?
Still love it.
Thanks for sharing!
Very cool, very stylish🤩 I wonder if the motors that run the hydraulic drop-down bed and walk-in closet would last very long with everyday usage-or expensive to repair/replace?
Same concern I have. I just have a feeling those things would break easily. And who would be able to repair it or where would you get spare parts?
So the Citizen has no real bedrooms. The cloud bed is an extra cost and it's only a Murphy bed in a small office space. The extra counter and storage in the kitchen is extra as well. And my goodness place a solid sliding door in the bathroom.
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Great video! An innovative use of space. Highly dependent on electricity. No laundry? Thanks for all you do to bring the information to us.
There is laundry, just missed it on the tour. Thanks for watching John!
I'd expressed interest when you first brought these folks to our attention and heard nothing back. I shall try again. Thank you.
Thanks for watching! Hope you hear back
How about fresh air ? Can any windows be opened ?
Very cool house, $125K seems like a good price. Also, your dry humor makes your informative videos very watchable and fun 👍
Thanks Jaro, appreciate that
whoah this has a lot of features I was planning to put in my home
Nice!
YES! That is what I am talking about!
Glad you like it Bill!
@@KerryTarnow@KerryTarnow Multi-functional spaces within tiny homes are essential.
Very COOL Feature's and Plenty of Space. I Would Definitely "Change" the Color of Wood.
thanks for watching!
I want one! I fully retire at 67....7 years from now! I am willing to wait....and wait....and wait!
thanks for watching!
