Young Couple Climb Onto The Housing Ladder With Incredible Tiny Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лип 2024
- This weeks episode showcases a dynamic young couple and their amazing first tiny home. This home is modern, stylish and was an affordable way for them to get into their very own house in a city where most young people have been priced out of the housing market.
Especially in cities like Auckland, where the average house price is close to a million dollars, it can be incredibly hard for young people to get onto the housing ladder. This couple thought outside of the box though and decided to start climbing the first step by building an amazing tiny house on wheels!
Laura and Declan have created a spectacular home for themselves. It’s modern, high quality construction has given them a wonderful first home and a brilliant asset which enables them to escape the rent trap and start building housing security.

One of the things that I absolutely love about the tiny house movement, is how it can help empower young people to get out of the rent trap and onto the housing ladder when they otherwise wouldn't be able to! I hope you all enjoy meeting this couple and touring their wonderful tiny house. With love, Bryce & Rasa
EARLY
Amazing house
👍Rasa and Bryce...given the incredible amount of work involved in producing a "Living Big in a Tiny House " storey ..still can't believe you do this all again ...weekly😃
Yet to me it seems they are spending more than a house should cost
Thanks for this Bryce was really informative and I love the house. I was wondering though how easy it is securing a mortgage for a tiny house? I feel like here in Australia it wouldnt be easy to do the last time I looked into it you could only get a personal loan (like you were purchasing a caravan or RV and the interest rates on a PL are phenomenally high) you had to have land to access a mortgage. It might be an idea for a future video looking at funding options for going tiny.
Honestly, there is so much tiny house content these days, but none match this channel...the editing is on point...the way you combine the conversations while showing shots of the tiny house seem so simple, yet I don't see that elsewhere and it gives a very good impression of the people and the whole tiny house without being boring or too long, keep it up mate!
💕💕💕
So true. I've watched every episode multiple times.
I haven’t missed a single episode and I live in a ridiculously large home. Like you said, this channel is just lovely, and I look forward to it each week. We had a home business in the house for twenty years and home schooled the fives kids over the past 25 years, so we used every inch of the house. In a couple of years we will have a very large empty nest, so who knows what comes after that? I’ve filed away all my favorite house designs with bedrooms downstairs, so I’m ready if we decide to go tiny!
Questa mini casa è bellissima! E sono stupendi anche i gatti 🐈🐈🐈🐈
Long live Living Big In A Tiny House!!
The cut out at the office’s floor is so clever. Love it.
I've had this idea and wanted to see someone do it for so long!!! I think a collapsible backrest (that could fold to be flush with the floor) would make it perfect
Yes it’s stunning
@Kay Potter: Yes!! Thank you for that suggestion. 👍
Such as cool idea
Yes! I know my knees would start killing me if I had to sit cross-legged so it’s just such a brilliant solution
Literally want a tiny home just to have Bryce tour through and exclaim how lovely it is 😍
SAME here!! 😂😂😍😍😍
LOL..... me to.
IKR he and Rasa are the coolest.
I know! Bryce GOALS! He’s such a delight to watch 🙌😁
Such a gentle, soft spoken couple. I love to see how they've carved out their own space in life with this lovely tiny home and their realistic goals and expectations of the future! And Bryce, you are always a gracious documentarian. I adore the way you see the merits of each home that you feature. I love the positivity of this couple, their home, and all of your videos.
Eversince I've laid my eyes on tiny homes, I've never wanted anything otherwise. It's functionality and the simplicity of living without compromising beauty (both aesthetic and the life you create while living in it) still brings me in awe. Thank you Bryce and Rasa for your beautiful content week on week.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I look forward to touring your tiny house some day!
@@livingbig Yes to that! ☺️☺️☺️
Absolutely agree! Thx for all you do, Bryce & Rasa. 👏
Wish my boyfriend was on board with a tiny home, for me it’s intriguing, and fantastic!
I like the crisp, modern and light-filled design. They paid good attention to details, such as keeping the loft walkway translucent and their use of mirrors to create the feeling of more space.
Absolutely! That's such a clever idea. Glad you enjoyed the tour Anthony!
Declan's so awkward but so adorable! I love their tiny house. Probably one of best designed ones I have seen.
😂😂
This is one of my favorite designs! They thought of everything! I like how spacious the bathroom and kitchen are, love that they have a washing machine, love the actual stairs vs ladder, and how they have 2 good-sized lofts. The cutout in the floor that fits below is ingenious. What a cute couple, also. :)
Best bathroom yet, it's wonderfully designed.
If Bryce ever tells me ".. Can you talk to me a little bit about.." I will not shut up for 2 hours just out of excitement.
me too
"Absolutely" 😀
And he hasn't changed that line since the first video. Bryce made us tiny house lovers no doubt about it 😁
Alright! Can we take a look! 😊
😂
She's 21? And already has her own home? That's a dream come true for me 😭
Very impressive. When I was her age, I was still trying to figure out how to use Boston’s public transportation to commute to my first job after college! 🙄🤷🏼
@@suzannegreene5461 That's impressive too, at least you got a job at 21. I'm 21 right now, recently graduated, currently unemployed... That is honestly GOALS.
@@jasminam2814 Good luck to you!
Is she? She looks like his mum!
Wei Wei Reed Aren’t you sweet! That was decades ago, when the economy was booming.
the last 2 weeks, I spent more than 8h watching this channel - Am I getting addicted, I guess yes :)
I love the concept, how the host is always respectful, asking questions that will enhance the creativity and wonderful work they have done. he always makes people feel at ease even when people are shy. Great editing and such an inspirational channel!
same here!
I'm addicted too!
I love the desk idea. It is so nice to see a young couple that is sensible about goals and not over spending.
“Doesn’t it?”
“It certainly does.”
“Definitely”
Love these videos and the “lovely” way Bryce always conducts these interviews.
and I´d love to see what you have done in .....
😀
Also I can't wait to see what you've done on the inside! It's almost like a trademark at this point :)
"Absolutely"
Anybody else get the good feels like you used to from California Gold with Huell Hauser (sp?) 💚 love this channel!
This ticks all the boxes for me. So many little goodies - exceptional design and use of space. My #1 of 2020 so far. ✔️
It just gets better and better
Same. I love it, 💖
This is actually going to be the design I'll go for when I build my own tiny house. I don't think I'll be making an exact copy, but this sort of design with a separate office space is absolutely what I'm going for.
Mine too. Just created a list Top 5 Tiny Houses. This is definitely in there. Really like the windows in the bath.
It's my fave for this year too! even tho they're not off grid, design wise this tiny house has everything i wish for!
the moment they showed the walkway and the mirror behind the upper storage in kitchen I knew it had to be Shaye's building!
True. I was seeing that as well. I love Shay's design with the bathroom on the other end of the tiny home with the "concealment" idea of litter box and toilet. Love the lay out.
As a young person living in Auckland, this channel gives me hope that I can get out of the rent trap soon!
Bryce, please never change this stunning audio groove background. It’s part of your brand and it soothes me so much 😊
Good point. It's so very soothing and therapeutic in addition to everything else.
Tough to repeatedly use a piece of music that doesn’t become annoying after a while. No such worries here.
Edit: Just noticed that you composed your own music. Nicely done! 👏
yes! i kinda want it as a ringtone
Yes, that's part of their editing trademark. Love it too😊
I know right?!
I just bought blueprints to a tiny house that are almost identical to this, and I am just IN LOVE! I'm so so excited for this new venture.
Can't understand why governments aren't building more homes like this, they're cheaper and more environmentally friendly
Government wants high taxes to squander
not cheaper, they are 1 storey, ..can't compare with multi storey land rentability
government is never on pepople's side... remember?
‘Cause they won’t get as much property taxes :(
Government all around the world has never been for the people. They serve the rich greedy elite and they can never get enough.
Love the big footwell for the desk area upstairs. Its impact is barely noticeable in the bathroom. Also like the extra benchspace looking out to the deck. That kitchen is so much nicer (& bigger) than mine in my 4 bedroom home!! Also love the ability to stand in the loft. Makes so much sense. Great that you were able to get a mortgage for it. I believe people have difficulties getting them here in Australia and end up having to get personal loans instead, which of course, come with higher interest rates, I guess because they consider them more of a caravan?? We have a long way to go.
Yeah, I've just started to hear of people being able to get tiny house mortgages in New Zealand. As the movement becomes more popular globally, hopefully more financing options will become available for people. I know it can still be a big issue for people!
yeah the footwell is ingenious! I hope the movement can spread to more places so that tiny house options are more available elsewhere
I LOVE how they used the space ... The stairs on the side....the walkway .. being able to stand in a part of the bedroom ....leg room in the office ...the cat closet .....The thought process was amazing ...
Thank you for sharing...
YES that was I thinking as well.
They're so young. Yet they have own a lovely and beautiful tiny house. Fantastic!. And....and they've fresh food from their tiny garden. They also working. Such a responsible couple. Good for them. Thank you dear Bryce & Rasa for the video.
Absolutely beautiful, very functional. They aren’t giving up anything.
That cut out t under the desk in the loft that allows your feet to rest is SO clever!😃
probally cats in it waiting to attack feet :P
I wonder if the designer was Shaye! It has her signature!!! This is a reflection of my favorite house, in all the tiny world!!!😊
Yes this is Hazel 1st! There have been many adaptations since. 😊
@@TheBodsqaud hi! do you know the name of the designer/builder?
Gaby Palacios I agree. Has quite a few similarities to Shays last build for herself with the layout and mirrors up top in the kitchen. Definitely my 2 favourite Tiny homes. Absolutely spot on.
Ikr?. 😂
I was thinking the same!
Hello! I’m new to the Tiny House Community! I just wanted to say that I love these videos and I love how positive everyone in this unique community is! I hope that everyone has an awesome day!
This has to be one of the most spacious tiny homes I’ve ever seen. It may have a small footprint but the illusion of openness and space was incredible! Well done.💚
The layout reminds me of the one of the mother and daughter who lived in New Zealand. The only difference was she had a larger porch with beams and had small gardens on the second story.
@@bonniehowell4259 : Shaye is their builder.
One of my favorite tiny's to date. This is a stunning home. its got all the necessities of a mainstream home inside a tiny. The deck outside where you can sit out and eat is fabulous. Those windows that roll out are gorgeous and ultra modern. Full size appliances. I love the real couch inside instead of just a bench. (a sectional that folds out into a bed for a guest makes it even better) . Everything is spaced out nicely so you don't feel too cramped inside. Adequate storage space. I could totally live in this one. Perfect for a single or a couple. It has everything you need.
I love the couch too-- I'd love that in my (full-size) house, personally!
@@catstreat9434 Same - was it an IKEA couch?
@@FurnitureFan IKEA indeed, got the same
@@francoisbrossard4679 Thanks for that, I'll browse IKEA now.
Then you must love the home of the builder even more. I watch Bryce since he started his channel and remember her first tiny and loved it. Her second was even better. Much respect for her! and Bryce!
This channel will always be one of my favourite.
Presentation, quality, content... everything is on point.
Keep up this great work Dude.
Thanks so muck A K!
Indeed! The production of these videos, in addition to Bryce's presentation skills, style and wonderful spiritual energy make this program the very best! Thank you Bryce!
They are so lovely. Home is not only about a structure , its about who are living there.
So peaceful, fresh, quiet. I love the young couple and their kitty. All the custom features designed for every purpose. One lucky feline 😽. At 65, I've been in rent trap for a long time. My dream is to go tiny home❤️
You totally said it right there, empowering young people to own their own home...they have totally thought it out, it's very stylish and suits their lifestyle and I love how they take trips to the hardware store now...this is great...!
Such a clever use of space. Don’t remember a tiny house that felt this big. A lot of useful innovations such as the glass above the kitchen and drop down space for feet in the upstairs office
totally agree - also it feels that if they had dropped the downstairs ceiling by 6-8" (which it seem like there was room to do), then you could have stood upright in the bedroom loft and perhaps the office too!
Absolutely, their home is amazingly bright and spacious with the extra windows. The drop down footwell was clever.
What a great bathroom.
And those beautiful beech worktops.
That walkway was the coolest part. Being able to stand and not crawl changes everything. Well thought, practical design. Kudos to the couple for coming up with such a great design!
Really doesn't feel like a tiny house when you're inside. Awesome design Laura and Declan 👏 👏 👏
when i think i have seen everything, these folks go and drop down the floor onto the bathroom, with no loss whatsoever, and make a functioning desk sitting area on the loft. WOW! Brilliant
It’s one of the most liveable loft areas in a tiny home that I’ve seen. I love the exterior esthetics, also.
This is my favourite Tiny House in ages!
I can honestly say, Now I have seen the Tiny house of my dreams. Truly Spectacular!!!
I had to save this video because there is just something about this house. I think this is going to be my reference house from now on. Brilliant!
You had me at "cat cupboard" 😍 I love cat people! Tiny homes and cats are a match made in construction heaven ✌✌
Love how you guys can stand up in your bedroom.
One of the nicest, well-laid-out tiny homes I have seen! Beautifully done, and lacking nothing.
BEST DESIGN I'VE EVER SEEN IN YEARS‼‼‼‼‼
Bryce, you are so lovely. This couple are obviously shy and introverted yet you made such an effort to make them feel at ease and ask them the right questions so they could
Talk a bit! It’s not easy! 💛 also the cat is in every shot! The real star!!!
Are there not 2 cats? In the shot of the couple on their bed, Declan is caressing one cat but there's another one at the bottom end!
2:30
As one comment reads..a softspoken couple..and sooo tidy! So young and yet very wise for their age! Looove the catbox and legsdown ideas! Keep it up kiddos..you're on the right track! Thank you Bryce..I'm sure you boosted their confidence aswell.
This tiny home is clever & obviously well thought out. Their cupboard and drawers don't look cluttered because of the amount of storage this TH has. I love it!
This is the same exact design as that shaye girls house, I bet she designed it. This is how you should design a tiny house 👌🏾
Shae builds tiny houses for a living.
Yep,
RR Nilsen I noticed that too. The bathroom and kitchen are little different but the cat walk and steps are reminiscent of her current home for sure.
Kristofer Milhauser I hope she is stoked, that we recognize her work when we see it.
"That Shaye girl" lol, but yes, she's an excellent designer. I thought so too with the toilet, Shayes toilet tucks away into a cupboard.
When you’ve watched soooo many videos of Bryce or just tiny house videos in general that you can automatically tell who the builder of this home is! Your video with Shay was one of my all time favourite designs and it’s so nice to see another version of the same build!
I noticed the similar layout, too. Definitely one of my favs!
I was about to comment the exact same thing. Love both homes.
I thought the same - in fact, I thought they must have bought this home from her! But then I saw the dropped leg space in the office and thought it was their own build. In fairness, Shay's home is an excellent design and well worth copying.
Same here :D
Who is the builder?
I love this floor plan. The first tiny house I could see myself living in. Great job!!!
This layout is so similar to the one with the lady and young girl. It was her 2nd tiny house. Hers was Very cool, must check it out. I love this layout!
This feels so much like a normal-sized apartment. It looks beautiful. And so many clever little features in this one.
Wow, this couple has a stunning home! I love how clean yet warm and inviting their home is. It is so spacious feeling! I love their kitchen, it is plenty of room to bake and cook in there. Probably just as big as my kitchen is just about it. Same with the bathroom, but what really blew me away was their upstairs. I love how spacious their bedroom is. I love that they can stand up in it and the hallway. Even though it is slightly tight for the guy. They have loads of storage in this home as well, which is so impressive. I love everything about this couple and their home, it is certainly one I could definitely live in myself. Thanks Bryce and Rasa for all you do!
This one really reminds of the one owned by the single mom with that amazing green wall. It looks like the same layout.
Shaye and her team built our house :)
@@laurastrangward4676 wait you are from this video?
EXACTLY i feel like they copied her.
@@abbyfoppe2582 It's not nice to accuse this lovely couple of copying someone else's design, they haven't copied her at all - they legally purchased this tiny home from Shaye who featured in the other video. Shaye has her own business selling tiny homes. She has several designs and anyone can purchase one and have it built for them.
WOW Laura, well done to you guys. It's gorgeous! Best design for all the ones I've seen. Love the spinning tray in the cupboard and the cut out in the floor upstairs. I'm going to go for this design myself if I can secure the $$. All the best to you both!
I can't emagine my dinner without tiny house channel :)
I love the idea of having the walkway up there, whenever i think about having my own tiny house in the future and start imagining how it's design would be, i always think about a walkway connecting the two lofts🙈🤩
(and by the way i finished all my exams and got accepted at the college of engineering, i'll start my civil engineering journey in few weeks, so excited for it!!)
Congratulations on finishing your exams. Good luck with your future endeavors in training to be a civil engineer. I hope you do well in college.
IGOT7 Congratulations! Wishing you much success😊
Congratulations! Look forward to all the “engineery” features of your future TH. 😉
Congratulations! :)
Yooo Im a senior Civil Engineering student at UT, and im absolutely obsessed with tiny houses too! Good luck to your future schooling
they have Guard Cats protecting their backs.
Hahaha. There is no such thing as a guard cat. They are all assassins.
@@livingbig ahh, yes, i have heard that before, but didnt believe it....
I love the fact they got those cats to pose just so, on the patio!
@@diannt9583 All cats know how to pose better than any supermodel. Cats are beautifull and they know it.
The two cats were the real owners of this tiny house as they owned their humans. Look, they even hv own closets for their stuff. Both black cats were so beautiful. Bryce shld hv interviewed them too.
Haha.
The full size feel and lay out of this tiny house are outstanding!
Long counter tops really gets me everytime....this show is so addictive.❤❤❤❤
I love that every section of this house has a little space for the cats' use or related to cats' stuff.
It's built by true cat lovers. Purrfect home.
I'd vent out the air from the back of the litter cabinet and pull in the fresh air from the kitchen to get rid of the smell. An idea stolen from another kitty loving tiny owner. But for all I know they did do that lol
They absolutely KILLED it with the design here! Bravo on the home, the plan and the dream!
This tinny house is well thought out and homey. Love the couple they are adorable, so softly spoken and quite humble in their approach to living together in a space they have created. beautiful.
What a beautiful home, and what an adorable young couple! Thank you for sharing!
I really like this tiny house. It's prefect!! It doesn't look "tiny" at all. Love all the windows, the kitchen is fabulous, the walkway to the loft area is a brilliant idea, and I am really impressed with the "office" where you can dangle your legs and not get cramped working.
I've seen so many of these videos and each time I'm surprised by what people come up with but damn these two really had me surprised with all the clever use of space and dropping the floor down where you're able - something I definitely never considered... yet :D So thank you!
It's so beautiful to see young folk get a leg up on life like this. I was so glad to hear their next goal is to get their own land. Lovely and inspiring!
This tiny house is an absolutely brilliant design and what a lovely couple i wish them all the best.
I love that this comments section is so positive 🥰
This has got to be the best layout and use of space in a tiny house I have ever seen. I LOVE IT
This house is so clever! Keeping the seated areas short to maximize space is so unique
I really like the office idea and how well they executed the sitting table in the loft.
This is one of my absolute favourites so far. Could really imagine living in that house right away
Me: how many black t shirts do you own??
Bryce: yes
You're bad! 😊
Why has Bryce not seen this... Lol😂😂
Lmao💗😎
i do this, i know a lot of dudes that do this.
I have alot lol
Lovely couple. She seems smart and he looks so calm and cool. Both really deserved each other and what a lovely tiny house
Just so happy you are out and about and producing stellar content for tiny house addicts like me!
Their builder is definitely that gorgeous lady who is also a professional diver with a daughter... The layout is almost identical and honestly probably the two best tiny homes I've seen
Absolute the best most clever tucked away second floor walkways in a tiny house yet. Great design
One hell of a dream! I would LOVE to have a tiny house like this!
It's such a lovely home! Glad you like it.
This has got to be the best tiny house I've seen so far! It's stunning.
What a lovely couple! They have an eye for decor and minimalism. Greetings to them both from Chicago!
Oh beautiful tiny , I think this plan is my favourite...really open and spacious .
Thanks Jen!
Living Big In A Tiny House is this built by shaye who had the tiny business , who was featured a few weeks ago . I see lots of her features.
Me: Hey Bryce
Bryce: Ohhh, this is lovely!
This time he changed it up to beautiful hahaha.
The tiny house IS SO BEAUTIFUL and i can see they didn’t try to compromise so much. It still feels spacious and homey. Really beautiful design
Creating standing room in the bedroom lofts by lowering the floor over the kitchen cabinet area is genius; this is only the 2nd time I think you've featured that so far. It increases the livability of all the spaces 100 percent! Something that isn't usually mentioned -- what about soundproofing measures in tiny houses? E.g. for creating a quiet office or increasing privacy in the sleeping spaces, etc? Or is the space still to small for extra measures to be very effective?
Thanks for sharing this calm and peaceful design!
What a beautifully designed home with high quality materials in the details. This young couple is off to a very good start and their vision for the future is great - I wish them all the luck!
Hehe about to comment for the 100th time 🙈 “this is by far my favorite tiny house” 😅
This is more spacious than my friend's apartment! The views of this house are beautiful
That is a lovely home! Every now and then you see one that makes you think 'I could totally live in that' it is always a little exciting when you do.
ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS HOME. It had so many lovely features AND I absolutely loved the kitties.
I love how Bryce leads the tours by asking to see the next space or to be told about a feature, and all the openings he leaves for homeowners to share about their choices rather than barging through the space
You wake up to this in the morning and have that cool, chilling, impressive feeling that yes I have achieved something
The house, the family, and the kittens are just awesome!
Everyday, each video this channel uploads makes me want to go as minimalist as possible!
Thank you for this great culture. ♥️
I think this tiny home is one of my favorites! I love the leg well in the office and the walkway connecting the two lofts. Everything is very nicely thought through and the end product shows it! 👏👏👏👏
The cat cupboard is purrfect! Hides away the litter box but easy to access for cleaning, and all the supplies right there.
I have watched hours upon hours, if not full days upon full days of alternative living. Hands down, this is likely the most well thought out and designed tiny home I have come across!!! The owners and design team should be very proud of themselves.
Thank you Sean :)
Essa Tiny House ficou linda demais! A cozinha ficou bem ampla e com bem dizer 2 quartos. Incrivel!
Just watched this episode twice!
Beautiful tiny house 😍
that looks like Shaye's design "hazel" it is such a great design.
I think it is her design! So cool to see another version. I love how this couple customized their home.
Shaye gets more credit then she deserves
@@computerjantje What a useless statement.
@@CarysLibri this is Hazel 1st.... many adaptations since.
@@CarysLibri : Shaye's the builder as well.
Bryce (also my Son's name), I appreciate all that you do so much! Great videos showing all the details of these tiny houses helps tremendously when one is trying to see what will work for them. This is another example of a well designed tiny! Thank you!!
Definitely one of the nicest tiny houses! you get what you pay for
