@Fmono • 39 years ago • edited Perhaps TL Rogers was being sarcastic because obviously everything he mentioned has been done countless of times before.
That's true. While this type of house and lifestyle might not be to everyone's liking, the architect has really poured a lot of thought and effort into creating this house.
@@dragonsember On the other hand, if you're out in a city all day with all that visual and audio stimulation, coming back to the aVoid might feel refreshing.
This is absolutely stunning. This is not just a building. It’s living art. I’ve never been one for modern architecture and tend to lean more towards cozy or even fantasy designs. But this is incredible. The extreme thought put into every little detail is amazing.
How humble is this guy! He presented the Chairs as if you can buy them @ Dollar General. ☺ An absolute visionary. Thanks, Kirsten for all you do in allowing us to experience these manifested Dreams...
Love the minimalism. It doesn't stay minimal once you put it together, but it looks so clean and inviting. I really enjoy blank spaces, I think it especially helps if you are doing a lot of design work being that you have to keep track of a lot of "moving" parts in your head and construct them through a screen, on paper, or physically. Your mind can start to feel messy if you are also in a messy space, having to sort through visual information that isn't related to your work.
I'm a fabric artist, and this could totally work for me. That right wall could be a felt-board work space. I see a space for my machine, and for my fabric. I'm good to go!
69drummerdude It’s clever, yes, but as a home - which we are led to believe was the purpose - it’s utterly useless for everyone except the most fanatic ascetics. Just think of how you come home after a day at work and what you do until you sleep, and then imagine doing the same things in this fish tank. If the success criterion was cramming everything from a home into the space of a horse trailer, this would pass. It the success criterion was creating a liveable home there, it would fail.
I legit thought he hadn’t moved in yet until he started opening everything. It’s clever and certainly would be a good way to keep dust under control. Love the roof space.
@@vondahe considering it's designed to be on wheels, though, i can see how all the emptiness could work out for someone who's always on the move. you'd have lots and lots of stimuli during the day and then that'd be your blank canvas to "discharge" and start again.
I doubt it is easy to clean dust out of this house too many nooks and crannies while the main space liiks clean it all just hides smaller spaces so to clean it all from dust you have to put in a lot more effort, Imaginmr this place with out the additional pannels it would just be easier to clean period.@@teehlfx5238
What a well constructed masterpiece. The chairs as well as the storage of them is brilliant. Love that he traveled all over to get to the perfect contractor for each step in the build.
Yeah, I was looking for the right word to capture Leonardo's work. Masterpiece sounds like the right one. Da Vinci's spirit is definitely not dead in Italy. :)
The sheer ingenuity and creative that goes into producing some of these wonderful small spaces is really fascinating. This is one of the most admirable products of the small space design philosophy I have come across. It's a really tiny space but the architect's use of light, volume and what I can only describe as industrial origami has resulted in a beautifully functional and seemingly calming space. Great job.
I love the design and thought that has gone into this. But I simply cannot imagine living in this for more than a few days without going crazy. The level of organisation and patience you would need is just beyond my lazy self. Impressive, though!
The amount of thought that went into the design is incredible. Every aspect thought through and integrated. Truly a genius design. Six chairs built in and space for six people to eat an extra large pizza in a tiny house. Brilliant! It appears utilitarian but he thought of everything. Also the house looks huge inside with everything packed away. But all the amenities are there but packed away. My god and a greenhouse. Truly the spirit of Leonardo.
@Angela James I know!!! I’ve watched a countless number of small space videos because they’re such an interesting design challenge and I’ve NEVER seen anything like the chairs. Absolutely OUTSTANDING design. Genius. As to the rest of the void, it’s still a work in progress, which is how it’s presented to us. I appreciate it as a concept, applaud his skills as a collaborator, and admire his energy, commitment and vision. I don’t think all white would really be viable in a commercial application and the ladder looks dangerous. A round rod at the ceiling level and hooks on the end of the ladder would help, as is seen in a built in floor to ceiling bookcase. The kitchen faucet is REALLY good design. If the unfolding table was closer to the kitchen, along with 2 more chairs, it would function as both additional counter space, better seating for guests, and of course a desk. I’m not commenting on the bathroom, he acknowledges that it needs a lot more work. All and all, a really interesting concept and video.
Beautiful design for keeping a neat house! If it were for me, I would change seven things: 1. Stainless steel bathroom instead of wood 2. Different textures on all panels for finding in the dark in case the electricity went out. 3. A different bright colour on each panel instead of grey. 4. A full-size American-style refrigerator. 5. Loft bed instead of low one. 6. Bookshelves covering most of the wall opposite the kitchen side. 7. Windows that can go from clear to opaque by electronic means. (Most of the seven things I mentioned were already mentioned by many nice commenters.)
Actually I think that a higher bed gives more of the creepies than a low be to a full grown ocd person who walks into a room and continues to stare at it... and also the electronic screen would be found unnecessary to quite a lot of people, and as for the fridge, you guessed it, they use less things that need refrigerating, why he said the thing about the market possible that he goes one day in one day out to the market and not every day or once a month as Americans. The grey is that so everything may be equal so no color cringyness... even an OCD person gets annoyed with color patterns.
This is an amazing display of brilliant design engineering, coupled with first rate craftsmanship. Very impressive! Thank You Kristin, for sharing this young mans' talent with us all.
billytankx he said it’s still under construction and I doubt he brought all his food and plants and electronics just to say that he’s living there. I believe he’s on a campus and probably goes to friends to dorm to shower and uses the campus restrooms

@Gerard Rietdijk I don't get your point. He has a bed, and a table, and chairs, and yet, he can still fit a party in there. He has reasons for his design, but perhaps you missed that at the beginning. Dust mites.

Leonardo is a very clever engineer! That wall is genius! all the essentials for comfortable living are packed into such a compact area. I''ve seen a lot of tiny living spaces, but this may be the best I have ever seen! WELL DONE!
@Black Bamboo I don't think that's what he meant as "impractical". The window wall that's in a city leaves the home owner exposed like living in a glass bubble. They see your whole life. Even the shower door is right at the entrance.
To me this space feels a bit cold and bare to live in, but I love it as a creative space! His philosophy about having a clear space to create in, like it's a blank page fascinates me. While I do very often like to be influenced by the objects around me, clutter stifles my creativity, so having a place that I could close and open and transform into any sort of space I want for working on different projects would be wonderful.
Thanks Kirsten and crew! Enjoyed the videography and editing. Really enjoying seeing the different types of tiny homes. Leonardo is obviously a very intelligent and thoughtful person with ambition. Looking forward to hopefully seeing more of his work and yours! .
It’s a therapeutic pet project due to his childhood trauma of having a tiny room and now being an architect. He’s not going to live there. Most likely, no one ever will. This is a classic example of what happens when modern architects design houses: Everything is meticulously thought out but there is no SOUL and very few (if any) people enjoy the quality of life is this soulless desert. It’s impractical beyond belief. Just look at the fridge - it had no room. You’d need to shop at least every second day. And a toilet/bathroom with a floor to ceiling glass door... only an architect can think that’s a good idea. Of how about keeping the garbage just under the computer. Unbelievable.
@@tomsenft7434 I guess as long as she isn't hurting anybody. But it does make you wonder whether her mental state is healthy. Have you seen that video about a guy who is in a romantic relationship with his red Chevy Monte Carlo? He named it, and does things to it sexually I guess. I can't remember for sure, but I think the car was "male", too. I suppose he isn't hurting anyone, either. But it still makes you question the overall mental state of the person. Sometimes people are just weird, and I'm okay with that as long as it doesn't affect me or other non-interested individuals (including animals).
I was surprised to see so many negative responses. I find it fascinating and beautiful. It gets created when it is used. I live in a van and so I appreciate the discipline of putting every thing away. I love this house.
really loved this episode, leonardo really did a great job explaining things - you could tell he's a studied architect! Amazing work, our cities need more living space like this
thank you for your opinion - but please explain what you mean by 'glorified bored individual'? If youre trying to belittle somebody's efforts, then at least do so in a sound way. bored individual would have been enough - its not his persona that is glorified, but the tiny house. Also, the fifth element is great design source to draw inspiration from
Thank you Kirsten! I just watched the video and I am very impressed. It is like for the first time I entered my tiny house as a visitor listening that dreaming and young architect talking about urban utopias! Tiny is beautiful, tiny is possible!
This tiny house reminds me of another tiny apartment video you did few years back, the one have the bed hide under the balcony and every furniture hidden against the wall!! I love these hidden furniture in living space, inspired me with my own design!! Thank you once again Kirsten~
Agreed. I've made moving designs like this. If I had this the bed would almost always be down and the kitchen open. The rest only time would tell how I'd keep it.
Agree. It looks awesome and the ingenuity and craftmanship is impressive, but to me the 7 changes a day would be a hassle, and mostly done just for the cool empty look in between…..more of an art project than practical housing.
Amazing ! When I grew up, my room was eight by seven feet, until I left to go to university, and I too am allergic to house dust mites. In addition: I studied industrial design for two years. Absolutely amazing.
I Absolutely LOVED this place!!! It has been my FAVORITE By Far, Out Of All the Tiny Places I have seen! Every Hideaway that he revealed was like Christmas, opening up a gift on each one. He Doesn't live Cramped, bumping into things or messy and cluttered, just simply having Structured his Tiny House THIS WAY Is BRILLIANT and AMAZING!!!
Nice house! The lights really help to trick the wideness effect that makes you forget it is narrow. And I love the wood accent when it’s all plain grey, looking kinda neat!
People are say it is "impractical for most of the population." Though you may be interested in this video and his ingenuity, this house isn't made just for anyone who is curious, it is made for people who actually desire this *life style* . This is an incredible use of space and innovation that is extremely practical and resourceful *for its size* . I'm not making excuses, what I'm saying is you are going about this with the wrong mindset.
I love your videos, great job. We just received approval for one of the first tiny house communities on foundations in Sedona Arizona as a model for permanent sustainable living, installation will be in January 2018, units are built by students and featured in minutes 10-20 of the video living tiny legally part 2. It might make for a good story... getting into site planning, and design of permanent tiny home communities.
Darin Dinsmore, what wonderful news that there will be a Tiny House Village in Sedona, AZ! Please provide a link, and updates, as they become available! 💛
Amazing! It is so cool that he collaborated with other people so extensively. A real engineering feat -- even a greenhouse! One caveat -- he didn't make a space for the cat box. aVoid isn't a home without a cat. ;~}
My wife is an architect. I told her about this video and she said, "Yep. OF COURSE a new architect would name his creation something as dramatic as aVOID."
I still wish that they would apply these ideas in modern homes with solar and greywater. Then the next step would be Mico living for Colleges dorms to bring on the sense responsibility & make them the leaders of conservation
Very compelling! All areas seem usable and well thought, even the small conservatory for the plants! Would be nice to see it during actual use as I can imagine that you would not be opening and closing panels all the time. The bathroom location is good as it can get natural and ventilation. Can see many details that are used in expedition vehicles and motor homes, great application of those concepts. Congratulations.
I admire the design aspects and space efficiency but it's like willingly living in a prison cell with inconvenient conveniences. But as long as they are happy, I respect! (and it's quite cool! :D)
I was thinking of it as more of a living puzzle constantly having to move the pieces to create the living space. I guess when I was finished my exercise program would also be complete.
This house could just stay on wheels, it's almost like a caravan that way... Thats what I would want, a nice tiny house that can also be easily transported. So you can drive anywhere you'd like
Keepskatin You have left this same, militant comment on at least one other comment here. You are obviously very angry. Living in the US, I know there's a lot of racist bullshit to go around. That said, a lot of people (including white ones) do like these homes and want to live in them. Most of those people, also understand that that level of minimalism isn't for everybody. Your anger is pointed at the wrong people.
@Caleb Sherman True. It just masks the fact. That never really bothered me, though. It's just units of heat. Any physical residue on the seat, however, NOPE!!! GTFO.
Excellent, important lessons on Living Small, as less in more, especially when cleverly, creatively packaged. The is the future of housing which is here, right now, not a fantasy.
I like the well-thought design, the creative thinking process. I think this is not the final product, he will go on designing, maybe changing his point of view when he gets more life-experience ... But I see this is the space he wants to live in now. And he has many smart design tricks that can be used in other tiny houses too.
"...maybe changing his point of view when he gets more life-experience..." Yes, that's an excellent point. I kept thinking how much I would have loved that house 30-40 years ago, but I'm at an age where I don't want to do a lot of lifting, shifting and rearranging wood several times a day! ;-)
Probably the best tiny house i have ever seen in my life. Modern yet versatile. Functional yet not overly done. The only thing that i would add is a table that pulls out on the other side of the entrance so when not using the bed can use the table as an office.
@Kirsten Dirksen,a good job well done. I hardly heard your voice through the interview.You allowed your muse to be the centre of attention. No distractions. And,Leo did a wonderful job with the home...Spartan! Hope to do something open and mobile like this when Nigeria becomes safer. But, to both parties, thanks for helping me expand my thinking.
The hidden elements are clever, a lot like the Barcelona Lego apartment from a few years back. The only curious aspect of the design is how he treats the width of the space. Width is the smallest dimension, and here he's gone and made it even smaller.
This is very creative beautiful! Not my style though because it gives me anxiety just imagining going inside that empty space... It gives me the idea of being locked in a trailer....😰
This house is beautiful yet really utilitarian. Only made of wood so sustainable. I think the homeyness people mean is "stuff". when you have a space this small, you really have to put every possession under scrutiny. I think that spaces like this will help people consider the mindless consumerism we have grown accustom.
Everything that can be grown is sustainable, to a certain degree. Wood is NOT considered ecologically sustainable. Instead it would have been better if the walls were made of some kind of recycled material that is otherwise dumped in a landfill.
I am tending OCD and find this design very appealing. I think there's alot to be said for minimalistic living where one leaves a very small footprint. I also like how he placed the bed on the lower level and not in a lofted space. Its important I feel to be able to access your bed without too much difficulty in cases of injury and/or emergencies. Great design!
I love it. The look is clean and organized. It is wonderful that the space can remain blank which is so important to the inspiration of creativity. Clean space, clean mind. The mental freedom one feels in a blank space after being over-stimulated or saturated by crowded city conditions is refreshing and peaceful. While the space seems so severe, it looks soft and positive. In this space, I would like to see surfaces one could draw on and wipe clean, or magnetic surfaces upon which one could hang artwork. It would be fun to project computer generated designs on the walls. And, a clean space is best to highlight a beautifully made knit blanket or quilt. Less clutter to distract from what one would want to showcase. One day it could be filled with artwork. The next day it could be blank and free again. A full length mirror behind a door would fit in there nicely. Best of all, there is plenty of sunlight. There is room for a small tree in there. Plentiful fresh air. Privacy. No clutter. Safe. What a great space in which to decompress or meditate.
This guy’s a freaking genius. I’ve never seen such ingenuity; tables in the wall, chairs in the wall, the fold down bed.
Liked his comparison to “.....the birds” Poetry y’all.
I have seen an apartment like that
googling for minimalist furniture ideas makes you a genius those days

Nice work. Regardless of your personal taste, you have to admit this guy is a true craftsman.
That's true. While this type of house and lifestyle might not be to everyone's liking, the architect has really poured a lot of thought and effort into creating this house.

If youre trying to belittle somebody's efforts, then at least do so in a sound way. bored individual would have been enough - its not his persona that is glorified, but the tiny house. Also, the fifth element is great design source to draw inspiration from
Thank you Kirsten! I just watched the video and I am very impressed. It is like for the first time I entered my tiny house as a visitor listening that dreaming and young architect talking about urban utopias! Tiny is beautiful, tiny is possible!
Complimenti Leonardo, geniale !! progetto molto affascinante. Bravo continua così !!! Ciao
I'm an architect too. Nice functions. I liked it.
And It's happy to see iguzzini light as a user. Greetings from Mongolia.
"U ask if im exhibitionist?" 😂😂 I was actually silently thinking that. Sorry

Getting naked in public is a Berlin pastime. Don’t go in the Tiergarten in summer unless you’re prepared for nakedness.
"...why not take a shower in front of the nature." I thought he wanted to live in the city. There would be a busy sidewalk out front, then.
I would never live in such a small and minimalist house, but it's so creative and so artful, the designer is a real genius! Love the chairs!
This guy has a beautiful spirit. His ingenious home reflects that. A true Gesamtkunstwerk..
This tiny house reminds me of another tiny apartment video you did few years back, the one have the bed hide under the balcony and every furniture hidden against the wall!! I love these hidden furniture in living space, inspired me with my own design!! Thank you once again Kirsten~
I recheck the apartment that similar to this it's called "lego-style"
The bed is similar to the Murphy bed designed in the early 1900's. It's used to save space. They can be bought new.
Love your house . To me everything about it is perfect. If only I was 65 yrs. younger. Thanks for showing us what is possible. Congratulations !!

That's the modern office. Never a need for paper anymore.

He could use a safety rail on the roof, especially for any guests who have enjoyed too many glasses of vino.
I thought the exact same thing!
The novelty of having to constantly "morph" your living space would wear off very fast.
Agreed. I've made moving designs like this. If I had this the bed would almost always be down and the kitchen open. The rest only time would tell how I'd keep it.
Looks like irl he already only uses the bed to sit at unless he has guests.
Agree. It looks awesome and the ingenuity and craftmanship is impressive, but to me the 7 changes a day would be a hassle, and mostly done just for the cool empty look in between…..more of an art project than practical housing.
Amazing !
When I grew up, my room was eight by seven feet, until I left to go to university,
and I too am allergic to house dust mites.
In addition: I studied industrial design for two years. Absolutely amazing.
This is the most creative tiny house design I have seen. Bravo to the architect!
I really like the chairs. All else isn’t necessarily my style, but none the less, very brilliant.
I Absolutely LOVED this place!!! It has been my FAVORITE By Far, Out Of All the Tiny Places I have seen!
Every Hideaway that he revealed was like Christmas, opening up a gift on each one.
He Doesn't live Cramped, bumping into things or messy and cluttered, just simply having Structured his Tiny House THIS WAY Is BRILLIANT and AMAZING!!!
Wow this small house has everything.. it's like opening a magic box
Imagine you're laying in the bad and you hear strange noises in the kitchen.
LOL!!!
No wonder how
Then you look left and the mystery is solved. The kitchen is 1 metre away.

reminds me of the apartment in the movie " The 5th Element"
That's the first thing I thought
yeah!
Nice house! The lights really help to trick the wideness effect that makes you forget it is narrow. And I love the wood accent when it’s all plain grey, looking kinda neat!
People are say it is "impractical for most of the population." Though you may be interested in this video and his ingenuity, this house isn't made just for anyone who is curious, it is made for people who actually desire this *life style* . This is an incredible use of space and innovation that is extremely practical and resourceful *for its size* . I'm not making excuses, what I'm saying is you are going about this with the wrong mindset.
One of the best videos yet! Love the background story too. A wonderful set of ideas with a beautiful philosophy behind it! 5*
I love your videos, great job. We just received approval for one of the first tiny house communities on foundations in Sedona Arizona as a model for permanent sustainable living, installation will be in January 2018, units are built by students and featured in minutes 10-20 of the video living tiny legally part 2. It might make for a good story... getting into site planning, and design of permanent tiny home communities.
Darin Dinsmore, what wonderful news that there will be a Tiny House Village in Sedona, AZ! Please provide a link, and updates, as they become available! 💛
Why do portable homes interest me so much?
Freedom, flexibility, adventure, no hassle, clear mind...? :)
@@bt7846 : instinct
@@tomsenft7434 yep
Cause we need to run away from lunatics and government lmfao.
Because we should _ALL_ have portable homes and live wherever we want and roam free...just like animals in nature.
Amazing! It is so cool that he collaborated with other people so extensively. A real engineering feat -- even a greenhouse! One caveat -- he didn't make a space for the cat box. aVoid isn't a home without a cat. ;~}
Love the efficiency of this place. Great for a single person but just does not have the warm feel of other tiny houses.
"Everyone wants to have a warm bathroom." I love that. It's true but I never thought of it that way.
Those chairs, amazing. So is the rest of the house.
Edward Howden I had folders like that back in the day. Uncomfortable.
Yeah, the chairs impressed me.
My wife is an architect. I told her about this video and she said, "Yep. OF COURSE a new architect would name his creation something as dramatic as aVOID."
billiondollardan and his entire wardrobe is gray and black. Adorable from a distance. If he was your sibling, you might deck him.
I still wish that they would apply these ideas in modern homes with solar and greywater. Then the next step would be Mico living for Colleges dorms to bring on the sense responsibility & make them the leaders of conservation
There is so much available, still people go with the traditional building, too expensive perhaps~:>(
@Black Bamboo That's great until you find out your neighbors are racist sacks of shit... I wouldn't mind some wheels on my house.
I love the idea of Migratory Neighbourhoods!
Stunning. Ingenious. A complete masterpiece of engineering and concept execution. Bravo.
Congratulations on an excellent design, I could live in the Void, with ease. Keep up the good work, love the creativity.
"So you use the bed everyday?" - No, I usually sleep on the ground out of curiosity.
One of the coolest tiny houses I've seen (if not the coolest one). And it has plants 🥰 (the best ones btw)
Very compelling! All areas seem usable and well thought, even the small conservatory for the plants! Would be nice to see it during actual use as I can imagine that you would not be opening and closing panels all the time. The bathroom location is good as it can get natural and ventilation. Can see many details that are used in expedition vehicles and motor homes, great application of those concepts. Congratulations.
I admire the design aspects and space efficiency but it's like willingly living in a prison cell with inconvenient conveniences. But as long as they are happy, I respect! (and it's quite cool! :D)
I love how easy it is to clean!
Hahahahahah! "Inconvenient conveniences"! That's a good one!
I was thinking of it as more of a living puzzle constantly having to move the pieces to create the living space. I guess when I was finished my exercise program would also be complete.
This house could just stay on wheels, it's almost like a caravan that way... Thats what I would want, a nice tiny house that can also be easily transported. So you can drive anywhere you'd like
Connor Kruithof Then buy a camper or an RV.
nbkcq28 read my comment again? 'It is almost like a caravan that way' The fact that you can attach it to your car and take it with you aka caravan
Dufffaaa93 thanks Sherlock :)
nbkcq28 oh crap hahahah, sorry!!
If they put this into production with an optional trailer, I'd just bolt it to the trailer and keep it that way.
Brilliant, he should win every single architecture award
its more like an art. A very, beautiful, livable art.
The bathroom's not for me though
Susu Kuda Liar especially being seen naked with the open glass door.
Nothing there is enough for me. It is fascinating though.
He is extremely artistic and creative

So, where does one put the broom, the vacuum, or the mop? I love the ingenuity of the space, but, even just a little storage for, you know, something?
Fascinating tour of this ingenious tiny home. Not to everyone's liking but for those who like spare minimalism it's intriguing and thought provoking.
What does skin colour have to do with the size of someone's house?
Keepskatin You have left this same, militant comment on at least one other comment here. You are obviously very angry. Living in the US, I know there's a lot of racist bullshit to go around. That said, a lot of people (including white ones) do like these homes and want to live in them. Most of those people, also understand that that level of minimalism isn't for everybody. Your anger is pointed at the wrong people.
"Everyone wants to have a warm bathroom."
TRUTH!
Sam Struyven and comfortable
I live in Japan where the toilet seats are warm.
IT'S GLORIOUS!!!
ItchyKneeSon I'm sure it's nice knowing that they're not warm because of another person sitting recently. *shivers*
@Caleb Sherman True. It just masks the fact. That never really bothered me, though. It's just units of heat.
Any physical residue on the seat, however, NOPE!!! GTFO.
Sam Struyven fuck that. Not everyone.
Excellent, important lessons on Living Small, as less in more, especially when cleverly, creatively packaged. The is the future of housing which is here, right now, not a fantasy.
It's almost a perfect tiny house. Craftsmanship is just incredible.
I appreciate this so much! Especially with my allergies and delight in laying out under the open sky. Beautiful.
"Hiding" seems to be higher on his list then "Multifunctional space usage". Evenso some clever ideas.
Absolutely genius. I've fallen in love with this house! Wonderful work.
I like the well-thought design, the creative thinking process. I think this is not the final product, he will go on designing, maybe changing his point of view when he gets more life-experience ... But I see this is the space he wants to live in now. And he has many smart design tricks that can be used in other tiny houses too.
"...maybe changing his point of view when he gets more life-experience..." Yes, that's an excellent point. I kept thinking how much I would have loved that house 30-40 years ago, but I'm at an age where I don't want to do a lot of lifting, shifting and rearranging wood several times a day! ;-)
Agreed. I wonder how he will come with a family or a partner ?
Probably the best tiny house i have ever seen in my life. Modern yet versatile. Functional yet not overly done. The only thing that i would add is a table that pulls out on the other side of the entrance so when not using the bed can use the table as an office.
@Kirsten Dirksen,a good job well done. I hardly heard your voice through the interview.You allowed your muse to be the centre of attention. No distractions.
And,Leo did a wonderful job with the home...Spartan! Hope to do something open and mobile like this when Nigeria becomes safer.
But, to both parties, thanks for helping me expand my thinking.
Brilliant! I love no side windows so they can be parked side by side without staring in your neighbors window.
...in your neighbor's ass.
I am addicted to watching your videos Kirsten
The hidden elements are clever, a lot like the Barcelona Lego apartment from a few years back. The only curious aspect of the design is how he treats the width of the space. Width is the smallest dimension, and here he's gone and made it even smaller.
Mightbe Sherwood Forest Park central time
It is like a gift box! I am more and more surprised everytime he opens something new...
Amazing design
The design will fit an RV housecar
This is very creative beautiful! Not my style though because it gives me anxiety just imagining going inside that empty space... It gives me the idea of being locked in a trailer....😰
That's what I thought like why does he bother moving the bed
Maybe as a weekend home or a vacation home. No art on the wall would bother me.
@@coraalicecrowley8171 The whole point is that by putting away the bed he can declutter the room and transform it as well atthe same time.
Yeah, but if you are living with nature, you won't be home too much, you are outside doing things, :>)
Me too this gives me an anxiety attack
This house is beautiful yet really utilitarian. Only made of wood so sustainable. I think the homeyness people mean is "stuff". when you have a space this small, you really have to put every possession under scrutiny. I think that spaces like this will help people consider the mindless consumerism we have grown accustom.
its like youre a repeater. youve just repeated what has been said before. such a mindless comment
thermo dynamics you must be hated at parties
I always thought a house should be filled with stuff. Every nicknack has a story
Everything that can be grown is sustainable, to a certain degree.
Wood is NOT considered ecologically sustainable.
Instead it would have been better if the walls were made of some kind of recycled material that is otherwise dumped in a landfill.

perfect home for ocd persons.
I believe he is OCD, gay and a genius. It's just how God makes special people sometimes. 🎭
I am tending OCD and find this design very appealing. I think there's alot to be said for minimalistic living where one leaves a very small footprint. I also like how he placed the bed on the lower level and not in a lofted space. Its important I feel to be able to access your bed without too much difficulty in cases of injury and/or emergencies. Great design!

So true... I am an OCD person, and this design is the best tiny house design i have seen so far...
been there last year, and saw these small houses too but i didnt thought it has so many cool features inside of it, now i regret not to go inside. lol
OMG! OMG! He has me SOLD after seeing those plants! I haven't seen ANY of the tiny houses that tend to my creative plant needs! LOVE that!
Well done Leonardo! The design very well thought of and executed perfectly. Greetings and high respect from Indonesia
So creative and ingenious. I'm sure it was hard work planning every last detail that seems to work so well together.
Clever young man! I hope you will produce some other video's from this event of the other examples surrounding his!
Those chairs look so comfortable! Imaging plopping down on one of those after a hard day at work. Sooo relaxing! Now that's what I call a comfy home!
I love it. The look is clean and organized. It is wonderful that the space can remain blank which is so important to the inspiration of creativity. Clean space, clean mind. The mental freedom one feels in a blank space after being over-stimulated or saturated by crowded city conditions is refreshing and peaceful. While the space seems so severe, it looks soft and positive. In this space, I would like to see surfaces one could draw on and wipe clean, or magnetic surfaces upon which one could hang artwork. It would be fun to project computer generated designs on the walls. And, a clean space is best to highlight a beautifully made knit blanket or quilt. Less clutter to distract from what one would want to showcase. One day it could be filled with artwork. The next day it could be blank and free again. A full length mirror behind a door would fit in there nicely. Best of all, there is plenty of sunlight. There is room for a small tree in there. Plentiful fresh air. Privacy. No clutter. Safe. What a great space in which to decompress or meditate.
You could draw on the walls with whiteboard markers, but you'd have to walk sideways or do a lot of laundry. Maybe a pull-down screen.
