Incredible Shipping Container Home By The Sea Is A Small Space Marvel
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- After spending its life on the open ocean, this shipping container landed on the shores of New Zealand where it was transformed into a spectacular home for a dynamic young couple. After living in the container home for three years, a new addition to the family inspired a renovation project which saw the tiny house transform into a family home.

Kim and James have done an incredible job with the design and build of their container home. Completely council consented, they constructed their home from a 40ft shipping container which was chopped down to 30ft to be able to fit onto the section and fit in with local regulations. Around the container home, they have constructed a large deck and a wonderful outdoor living area.

The home is positioned above two 20ft shipping containers, one which acts as storage space and one which functions as a base of operations for the couple’s company, a t-shirt design and printing business. Ultimately here, James and Kim have created a spectacular work / home balance thanks to some very clever small space design.
Kim is also an author who has recently published a children’s book about an architect deigning a tiny house. To find out more about that click here: www.kimberly-andrews.com/puff...

Bryce is probably the BEST host/interviewer on whole UA-cam. I absolutely loved the energy and calm voice. Fantastic production in all the videos too.
That's very clever
only thing he needs to work on is the variety of the things he says. He always says the exact same 4 phrases when people show him stuff lol
I agree, very likable guy.
I really love these tiny homes àlot and I don't know just how am gonna have mine made but am hopeful one Bryce will visit my tiny house here in Africa!!!!
@@jck1794 but notice how they all are compliments!
When the cabinet for that long seat was being opened I was like:"wooah"
And then when it kept on going I was like:"WOOahhhh"
And then when they flipped the covers to make them seats I was like:"*WOOOOOOAAAA*AHHH"
Joseph Uy HAHAHAHAHA
😂
Joshjjeph Uy yycgh vbpi
Nmkhyguuhopooimmkkbbjkjji.
Hahahaha me too!!
😂😂😂 exactly
"We haven't made the house any bigger, but it feels like it is with her here." Awww...
I still can't get over the amount of space they have despite chopping off a section of this container. Absolute genius work!
After 3 and a half years the house still looks new. Fantastic! Bryce has never ran out of words to describe each and every house he visited. Great job!
Thanks so much to everyone for expressing your condolences over the tragic event in New Zealand. It's devastating to see this happen in my home country. I never thought that we would see something like this occur in NZ. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. It's a very sad and dark time for our country.
Love and prayers from Malaysia
I thought about you when I heard the news. You've introduced me to New Zealand in such a charming way. I was so shocked and sad to hear about this horrible terrorist attack in Christchurch. It is so sad and pointless. My heart and prayers are with the victims and their friends and families and with all of New Zealand. We stand with you!
Sending lots of love from Canada x
Special prayers and condolences to all that was unfortunately affected from the State of Georgia in the U.S.A.
Keep spreading your positive energy WE as a people need it ♥️♥️♥️
Her art sensibility is all over the house. The shade of the wall paper, the pictures on the walls, the tiny model of the same house kept inside, the stuff in the kitchen, literally like illustrations. The builder has done a good job on his part. He deserved a bigger acknowledgment, Bryce.
"It's nicer to have a few nice things that you treasure then a whole lot of things"
No truer words were ever spoken. I think that's the motto you have to live by to live in a tiny house. It's the mindset that lets you live simplistically in a smaller space and be happy. You can't live like that if it's all about material possessions. I think that's why the tiny house movement is taking on so well. Because more and more people are realizing that it's not all about the stuff.
Agree...
Well said!
Thank you for something cheerful, Bryce, on a absolutely horrific morning here in New Zealand...
You're welcome David. I know, I was devastated when I heard the news. Hard to believe that something like that can happen in our country. Such a sad day.
David Haywood my heart goes out to you in beautiful New Zealand and it’s amazing people.
Thinking of all of you there in NZ. I spent a few weeks in your beautiful country in Aug/Sept. I regularly watch your channel. Leesa in France.
Peace, to all of you.
I have no words NZ I’m truly sorry and my heart is with you.
that bed and dining area design is simply brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
Molle Nifkin
You are looking very nice
I don't know what has impressed me more, the incredible shipping container home OR the attitudes and decision making of the incredible couple. What a sweet family and they have their priorities in order so can enjoy a full comfortable life in a tiny home. Great job guys and congratulations on the new baby! From Texas!
That ceiling is to die for. Such a beautiful motif. And she's hand drawn the whole thing. What a lovely way to make a space truly personal and a gallery at the same time.
We absolutely loved meeting James, Kim and their new baby. They are such a sweet young family and they have truly built a beautiful home filled with clever design ideas. I hope you enjoy the visit to their home as much as we did! Be sure to let me know what you liked about the home in the comments below, and remember to please give the video a share if you can!
Spreading the word of tiny housing so passionately and reasonably at the same time does start becoming a little avalanche, Bryce, doesn't it? People telling how Your channel inspired their tiny house journey are starting to pile up on Your channel. 😂
I am actually in contact with a buncha people starting to think about tiny living around the Munich area, and Your channel has been named recurrently as one of the more important inspirations ever since.
There's still a lot of trouble with regulations when it comes to actual "living" in legal, permanent tiny houses no matter on wheels or in Containers without those, and nothing seems to help against the Bavarian rules for housing in this stage, but some people are working on it nonetheless. Legalities will have to change, given the shortage of ANY affordable living around here.
Thank You for being a great inspiration spreading such amounts of passionate optimism in each of Your videos.
Living Big In A Tiny House 👍🏻👍🏻😱💕💋💋
I do love what they have done it is great. The favorite for me was the side siting that comes out from the side of the under bed. Much more room for people to sit at the table. They have set up a very nice floor plan. It is nice that they have lived there for more than a few months so they have a good feel for the house. The bath is very nice too. Thanks for the video.
hi bryce! what an amazing house!!! i love the color and the design, a lot of storage... im a fan of your show coz i love the way you present each house so inspiring to built one..🤗
Hi, Bryce. I hope your family and friends in NZ are okay. We kept switching over to the news yesterday as soon as I read about what was happening online. As an Aussie, I just can't believe what happened. I was nearly in tears. My cousins have family in New Zealand, though I'm not sure which part, but we haven't heard any bad news from them.
That is one lucky baby to have parents who care more about people than material possessions.
She sure is! This is one very loved and well looked after kid. :)
Yes!very lucky! I wish my parents cared about me. They would pick material possessions over me anyday
Money comes and goes, but people leave once. Good for you! ♥️
Meg Kampen . I'm sorry that you had to experience that. It's really difficult not to take it personally although you did nothing to cause the neglect. If you live in an area where there are Celebrate Recovery.meetings, you may want to consider making contact with them online and then in person. You'll find out a lot of really good things about yourself
@Francisco Delgado that would not fix her lol
I love how you’ve been featuring people that have been inspired by your videos, it’s really come full circle!
This is one of the best tiny houses I have ever seen. It’s so roomy and functional and it looks so good too. I would live in this house, it’s gorgeous.
That lounge/bed solution is great without compromising on comfort for all involved. Very creative and looks quite affordable to do as well.
Yeah finally we get to see that idea implemented! :) I think that's much better than a murphy or a lifting bed
I could live in a box with the right person too :)
LOL! Me too.....maybe.
I pretty much do. My husband and I spend most of our time in the living room, and just sleep in the bedroom lol. My office is the upstairs room. (we live in a small 2 bedroom cape cod. It's 750sq ft) I actually love my house a lot. It has a huge back yard for our two doggies. :)
Michal Rafael I left a 6 bedroom 5 bathroom house to travel the U.S. with my boyfriend ( now husband) living in hotel rooms for 5 years. We got so used to it that when we settled down, we knew we didn’t like being in different rooms apart from each other and we went tiny. We homestead and I could never do this with anyone else 😊 I hope you find that right person. Namaste 🙏🏼
@@Just-Nikki You both are so lucky :) All the best to you!
My pets only!! My children can visit though😁
Of ALL the tiny house videos I've watched, THIS is the coolest floor plan of all! Good job guys!
Hello Marit
I'm so obsessed with shipping container homes😭😭😭😭 First house I build FOR SURE! My lips to Gods' ears🙏
Go For It!!!
Until you realize how much bare shipping container cost, even used )))
Just heard about the recent shooting incident in New Zealand. The news was tragic. My prayers with the families. Stay safe Bryce and Rasa ❤️
Thank you! Yes, tragic indeed. Such a shock to see something like that happening in New Zealand. A very sad day for all.
PocketFullOf Sunshine agree, so so tragic. Love to NZ
My prayers and tears to all of the families effected by the tragedy in New Zealand
PocketFullOf Sunshine *sigh* PewDiePie why :’(
@Beach on Budget Please let me also know if you find anything on tiny houses in India.. Thanks in advance..☺️
You guys are still the best in the tiny house game! Thank you!
Cheers John!
@@livingbig BY FAR THE VERY BEST.
Other container houses feel like a hotel, very luxurious. This one feels like home. So cozy.
What a lovely family. I just watch this video 5 years after it aired on this channel. The floor plan is very creative. They can fit a bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom in a small space. Her children book is also very pretty. God bless.
Sooo nice to listen to downsized people. They are all so satisfied and free of pressure. Also nice layout.
I want to stop saying this is my favourite house every time. But I love all the houses you show us but some I can actually see myself living in and this is one of them. I love the slide away bed as I think we waste big bedrooms as we only sleep there. In my house the biggest bedroom is my studio and the smallest one barely fits my bed which is perfect for me :-) Well thought out and planned, I just love it
Glad you like the home Erika! And it's totally okay to have a new favourite each week. I feel the same!
I can relate haha
Really nice to hear the story of them living for the full 3 years in a tiny home and perfectly managed to do so while growing as a family!
Yes! When they said they had been there 3 years I realised that is why they have such a "settled" feel about them, of course, as I type, it's 5 years and Nova is a toddler 😃
I love this design and the young couple were so likable and created a wonderful loving home for their family. What more could you ask for in a home.
They seem like such a beautiful couple. Sending love to NZ today.
Thank you! They really are such a great couple. Thanks for your thoughts.
The lounge/bed solution is great, the best one I've seen so far! Bryce I really like the way you present each project. You have a way with people. Love your channel.
This house is absolutely brilliant! I looooove the changing table, the long bench storage and the hideaway bed! I’m not too keen on the idea of a loft so this is quite perfect. Great job you guys.
I must say, i was shocked to hear the council was on board for this project!!!!!!!!!! You never, ever, hear this anywhere else.
Bryce, I am just amazed at how you can continuously produce such an excellent episode on your show. Why this series and your talents have not been picked up by a TV network for syndication is beyond me. Well done sir!
What a beautiful little baby. Very sweet family and home.
What a wonderful little family and a tiny but perfectly formed home. Well done to this couple their architects and their local planners, working together to make tiny house living part of the (for want of a better word) "normal" housing community. I very much hope more of this will happen around our world. Everyone deserves a comfy, cosy and safe home and community. My thoughts are with New Zealanders at this very sad time.
I first saw the video three years ago and I still think the concept with the bed and the space in general is so incredibly brilliant! It's still one of the greatest concepts I've seen so far! 😍
Great family, beautiful home. Prayers for New Zealand, God bless.
No need to bring religion into this man
Mine as well
@@danielcheng769 it was said cuz a tragic event happened there
Daniel Cheng who is bringing religion in this
Awesome to see how this container home has changed and evolved over the time they have lived there! I actually had a short film they made themselves of the house already added to favorites in my youtube feed from a year or two ago. Especially love the idea of the workshop underneath the home and that outdoor bath. Great one guys
A great job as usual Bryce. Thanks so much to you, your team and this lovely young couple with their beautiful innocent bubba. Fans of Tiny Houses are all folks who care about our world, so using any media format you have access to, can you send a message with thoughts of peace and empathy to the folks in NZ. A wave of loving and positive energy may help stem the rising tide of hatred and bigotry.
This is one of my favorite tiny home..not house but home. There is a difference and this couple got it. Thank them and all the homeowners for sharing!
Love seeing these container homes. I hope all is well with you Bryce and you weren't near what happened. Sending NZ lots of prayers from the Caribbean.
Thank you. We are traveling in Australia at the moment so were well clear of harm. I was sure to check in with friends and family who live in the area and they are all okay. It was absolutely heart breaking to hear the news and see such a terrible event happen in my home country. I never thought we would ever see anything like this happen in New Zealand. My heart goes out to the victims and their family.
Love and prayers from The Bahamas!
And from Denmark ❤️
And from Germany*
And from Switzerland 💜
After horrifying incident of today I wish people in your country are safe and my condolences to victims and their families...Every episode is just another level of sustainable living, getting closer to nature and making sensible decisions that affect our vicinity..Lovely couple Mr. James and Ms. Kim..Loved this house tour ..Again with wishful thinking that people would try to make world a better place to live in and I would make such a home for myself one day, many thanks Mr. Langston for inspiring us with these beautiful spaces...😍😊
Thanks Richa! It's absolutely my pleasure. Thanks for watching, I'm really glad you find the videos valuable
@@livingbig Absolutely, it's my pleasure too..Keep up with this awesome concept..Wish you and your team all the good luck..😊
IT'S TIME TO CRUSH THE FAR RIGHT BEFORE THEY RADICALISE MORE OF OUR CHILDREN
The architectural firm could have got a bit more of a shout out considering the super clean work they did 👍
Yay, a children's book! I love that they can spend their life work together!
This is seriously one of the most brilliant tiny homes I’ve ever seen
Wow the dining and bedroom area combo is the best one I've seen so far! Good job to the owners and builders!
Ive seen it before though in Spain, designed by a Spanish architect, it's on Kirsten Dirksen's channel
I think this tiny house make jack
This is such a positive program. really makes my day.
What a cute family with a great home!
I love the pull-out bed and dining table! The big space in the middle during the day when neither are being used is great. Awesome and functional design!
I really enjoyed this episode. The home is so practical! and I love the energy and attitude of the couple too :)
Does Bryce know he is a modern time super hero inspiring people to really adopt tiny home and healthy living? They refer to him in many videos.... like "I watched your videos and I did this!". Guy is a hero for doing this.
Love from Cameroon.
A tiny house brings the residents closer to each other, you guys seem happy, for now you are doing exactly what you like. Thats what matters.
Amazing space. That end with bed, storage/bed/lounge/ dining. So many function in one area is outstanding! Heart goes out to the senseless tragedy in NZ.Thanks Bryce.
This is my favourite video of yours so far! A married couple with a baby living in a well designed home.... what more could you ask for?
WOW. What a sweet couple/family. They really created a beautiful AND functional space. The pullouts under the living space is brilliant. I watch a lot of these and van life videos and whenever they get to the making and unmaking the bed/couch on a daily basis a feel a bit of dread knowing if it were me I’d just be living with the bed out all the time! Lol. This solves that problem. Better than a Murphy bed. So ingenious.
They are so humble and focused. Thats what i admire most about this video. Thay also made tiny homes apart of their wedding, her books, and their lives
This is one of the smartest designs for a tiny house I've ever seen. Really smart.
you guys epitomize my favorite saying - -
'i would rather appreciate things i cannot have, than have things i cannot appreciate'
Couldn't resist having a peek at Kimberley's books, they all look wonderful! Also James' T's, patches and pinsare amazing. Of course Nova has grown too!
This is one of my favourites!
Bryce and Raza, thank you for all the work you do to bring these videos to the world!
One of my favorite❤. The ideas is just amazing, very spacious & eco-friendly. I mean this container is much much better. I don't know why the hate button.
Love the design of this shipping container, so functional yet homely. What a lovely couple and a lucky baby being brought up in a tiny home, in the most gorgeous location. 🏡😊
Absolutely! It's great to see how many great features they have packed into this home. Some very clever design indeed! The location is stunning too!
This is one of my fav ones I’ve seen, amazing location and a cute baby :) cool design too I like the open space too 👍🏼
I sincerely hope people in NEW Zealand are overcoming all that tragedy. Greetings from Colombia, I hope I could travel there soon.
Big thumbs up to Kym , James and their growing family , what a great philosophical outlook 👍😊
Bryce, I’m so saddened by the tragic events happening in your country. Know that many many prayers and thoughts go with you.
Coming from the States we are rocked and shook by tragedy on a daily basis.
I watch many videos from New Zealand creators and I consistently say how beautiful and peaceful your country seems. I pray for peace again.
Thank for all of the great videos you consistently put out.
Thank you so much Donna. Yes, it's hard for me to believe that something like this can happen in New Zealand. It's a real shock. It's just as terrible to see such horrific events occurring in America and other countries, and I never expected to see anything like this ever happen in New Zealand.
Thanks for watching our videos and for your support.
Love love love ...... I've come to the conclusion I will never have 'one' favorite home .... I do love this one ..... so very creative with the space.
And Bryce, thanks for adding all the background info on the container and the build. That was special and much appreciated. One of my favorite videos.
May peace be with you all in NZ. So sorry for your losses.
I do agree about the end bump-out being a great architectural feature. I also really like the double-door bathroom area. It really adds distance and sound deadening from the kitchen. Quite the brainstorm. And second floor living for all-time birds eye view is brilliant!
Great camera work and narrating-wonderful connection with tiny home owners-gorgeous architectural and design features. Thank you for all the inspiration and creative sharing!
Hello joan
Award winning
💫⭐️🌟✨💫 5 stars
Best editing
Best filming!!!
Best container design
Best patio design
Cutest couple ever!!!
19minutes and 36 seconds of pure inspiration!!!
Easily my favourite tiny house! Very clever but gorgeously natural too.
Brilliant design! These young people got it so right. Thank you Bryce for sharing with us.
Adorable couple, thanks for bringing this amazing people's stories to us! Btw, that shipping container house is full of surprises and definitely love.
Yay! Another home I can only dream of living in.
If you can dream it, you can do it! We see people with all skill and budget levels building their own homes on this show.
@@livingbig yeah, very positive approach but there actually are places and circumstances where you cannot dream about something like this. Living on a disability pension of 890€ p/m, in one of the most expensive countries in the world, Finland..with impossible regulations for everything, including breathing..there's just no way you'd even start dreaming about something like this. Still, it's nice to see other people, especially young people live their dreams . It is also nice to see that the world is slowly but surely evolving away from excessive materialism and the want want want culture that has been dominant for too long and so damaging for human beings on every level of existence. I have always been an environmentalist so it makes me very happy to see that a younger generation of people are making choices that is in tune with the environment. That's why i watch you vids, plus that you are so happy and cheerful one can't be in a bad mood listening to and watching you.
@@livingbig Totally!!! I couldn't build a tiny home from scratch so I got a builder to do the shell, and am now doing the rest! Still with a tight budget, and I'm only 19!
Living Big In A Tiny House You’re awesome for encouraging others to follow their dreams & do what makes them happy. I hope you do it for yourself every day, sweet soul. ❤️
@@ILovHelloKitty13 Aaawww, thank you, you too. All the best to you. I'll throw in a free slogan for you as well, - Small is the New Big! ;D)
it's beautiful to see how passionate you are, Bryce, about introducing all these amazing tiny houses to us, thanks a lot for your work! and our thoughts are with you and your country today... much love
Sending love, positive energy, and prayers to NZ. No matter what happens, we're all in this together.
The fact the open minded and ecologic local counsel is the best part of this particular episode: where as I live is absolutely authoritative, abusive, negative back, ward minded farmers! Negative to everything creative and innovative, specially individual freedom despite everything inline with regulation! Good luck guys!
Thanks, Bryce! I live in a 20-foot container and am always thrilled to see how someone else is doing it! Much love to New Zealanders on a day like today...
This has to be one of the best, if not the best, container home I have ever seen. Simply amazing 👍
This is the only shipping container house I've seen that I really like. I love the double decker approach, and would like a second floor for my house. I'm hoping there is a way to determine if a container has been used to ship toxic things, and avoid those. I've seen warnings about it, but no solutions.
That's a really cool container house!! We are glad to see one more container house here! The solutions they found for their space are amazing and their illustration work is stunning!
This is a pleasure to see so many people having similar thought abt materialistic possession and understand the true importance of building bonds with family and enjoying a happy and comfortable life.
Generally, people misinterpret "luxury" to be "comfort" and "being rich" to be "being happy".
Cheers mate, I am actually impressed by how you built your career from your interest and my whole Monday Night went into binge watch your channel videos.
Even I am planning to build a tiny house, I hope one day I can call you and tell my story.
Happy New Year by the way.
They have built an amazing home. The storage the design well thought out. I love it.
My heart broke when I heard what happened in Christchurch. Happy to know your friends and family are all ok. My thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families.
Thanks so much Lyn!
Ysssss RT u r. When we will Learn to Become a Human.... Despite so much Development and Technology Nd Education and prosperity.. man hasn't been able yet to Live Nd let others to Live.... May God Someday Will Bless man with Wisdom....
Lyn Carter nice
Just beautiful, the baby, the house, them individually as people and together as a couple. Love them. God bless you.
One of my favourite homes so far, I love their design style and creativity for a small space! Simple but beautiful with so much functionality in every corner.
My heart goes out to all you Kiwis out there
Thank you Brian.
Its so great to see someplace in the world that lets people get creative with living space. Hopefully this trend will spread all over the world. I love the idea of the storage bench where the storage top becomes a seat! Excellent idea!
Absolutely! I was very proud of the Wellington city council when I heard this story. Great to see them being supportive and making it possible for people.
No matter how many of these I see, I keep getting amazed by all the great design ideas people come up with. This one especially had so much of it, very very nice!
Stay safe, my thoughts also go out to the many people affected by the horrible tragedy in NZ, so very sad :(
I have watched a few episodes of this channel in the past, but have binge watched it this weekend. It's truly amazing how creative some people are with their space. I am a minimalist by nature, and this seems like a change that I would really love to make. And Bryce really does remind me of Heath Ledger...favorite actor of all-time (RIP).
I enjoy each of your videos and the fact that you find the best in each home and let the family talk.
This is such a beautiful home! We have been thinking about what changes we would need to make in our tiny home once we have children and watching this video offers us great peace of mind. It is so sad to hear about the attack in New Zealand today. I hope you are all safe, sending blessings to Bryce & team and to New Zealand.
Lots of love,
- Big Hearts, Tiny Vegans
... I hate how every time I watch your videos I find a new favorite tiny home. I find myself showing your videos to all those around me lol. Keep up the awesome work and seeking out these great people
Mark my words. I am going to build my own tiny house with my own two hands, and when I do, your invited to my house. Love your channel. It’s really inspiring.
Absolutely delightful. So happy for the couple. Beautiful baby and such a cozy, clever and welcoming house. Congrats guys!
Wow! I love this one. The extra seating/storage and full dinner table is brilliant. Thank you for sharing this great young family & their home. So inspiring.
My heart goes out to the people of NZ. ♡♡♡
Love their home and the couple.
The comment of the host on every feature of a house makes me watch for more episodes on this channel.
Goodjob Bryce!
That container/tiny house is absolutely STUNNING! So cleverly made, it's definitely one of my favorite of all of this channel.
I love the smart ideas in this beautiful build. Those 2 meter storage/seats is just perfect!
What an amazing Home! I Love it ❤️
The best and practical tiny house,I have seen ,so functional
