As the notion of tiny house living spreads, and the demand for housing increases in inner city markets, Will Johnston and his team have managed to develop a tiny house village in Atlanta, GA based on the pocket neighborhood principals of Ross Chapin. Both attractive and efficient, these micro-layout neighborhoods could be a game changer for both urban and suburban areas looking to minimize a development footprint. As you'll see in this guest- video from Will, nothing is really missed nor omitted from this small house community- with the planners and designers even going so far as to incorporate edible gardens and landscaping into their grand plan. Porches, sleep lofts, usable bathrooms and kitchen, and community space- these tiny houses designs seem to have it all.
Will Johnston os the Executive Director of the MicroLife Institute and a thought leader and innovator in the micro living world. Over the past six years, his organization has enabled policy change and brought acceptance of micro structures in the Southeast through events, projects and advocacy.

What aspect do you like most about this village? What (constructively) might you add or change?

@BrianS2464 2 года назад

I’d just add that tall trees will give folks a huge headache eventually. There’s no room to get any equipment in there in case they need to be trimmed or topped out and they’ll block roof top solar electric or water heaters. Nothings impossible just cost more to take care of it. I’d go with fruit trees that don’t get taller than the houses.

@cleoharper1842 2 года назад

@@BrianS2464 I understand what you're saying, but honestly for me the trees make the property. Where I live (FL) the owners of the community property keep cutting down all the trees - big live oaks that are at least a century old. This has displaced vermin into our houses, killed us with hot summer sun, spiked our electric bills (a/c) dramatically, and has allowed big storms to cause more intense damage (live oaks don't fall down easily/break winds). All sorts of other fiascos that we are directly financially responsible for (which we must handle ourselves). What was once a shady, breezy, cute little community now resembles a parking lot full of peeling paint. The trees were removed for the exact reasons you listed. Quality of life has suffered overall, while the owners (whom I now refer to as slum lords) have switched over their expenses, to our expenses. While raising our "maintenance fees" (rent) by over 23% over the last three years. Honestly, I would rather have the trees and the additional cost.

@cleoharper1842 2 года назад

Honestly, I loved the meandering positioning of the houses. As the presenter took us through the property, I got the sense of going back into a safe little alcove. It felt deeper than it actually was, more secluded. Which is ironic because I hate navigating meandering streets by car. Also I loved that each house had a defined, not-container-like shape that really bothers me with other tiny houses. They looked like little *homes*. Just enough. Which is all I ever really want. XD

@ChazEvansdale 2 года назад

What I like best is the freedom of design, you're not limited to a 8' wide tiny house on wheels / bus. Way more freedom in design if you can add a couple feet here and there to fit your lifestyle into the space, while still living simply in a tiny/small home. What I don't like is that most ways to legally live tiny you're either far from the city, work, family & friends, or paying rent (HOA for this place) so it takes away the dream of owning your own place and takes away of benefit of it being cheaper.

@IamCree 2 года назад

The home designs is so cute and inviting. And I love the location. I personally would need my own yard and space to be further away from people and let my dogs run. One of the reasons I like tiny homes is being able to escape the suburban feeling of houses right on top of each other and HOA's, so for me, it wouldn't be a good fit. I'd rather have a little more separation and a communal area that people maintain together, either through allocation of duties or pooling funds just to have lawn maintenance. I think some gardening and stuff can be a positive aspect of living in tiny homes and paring down/getting closer to nature and like minded people

One thing many people get wrong about a project like this is this is living small but it isn't living cheap! I was in a related industry for many years and we had people on a regular basis looking at tiny homes because they assumed they would be cheap to buy as compared to a larger home. They are less expensive because of the lower sq. footage but they ain't cheap. These are primarily for people who choose to live in a smaller space and not for the people that have to because they can't afford a larger home. I do not know about this project but in most cases the sq. footage cost in a tiny home vs a let's say normal house is quite a bit higher. I love the concept here but I just want those looking to understand what is involved. I would bet these homes are zoned for at max 2 people and most have an HOA fee on top of the payment for the house itself. That all means you can in many cases rent a larger apartment for less money.

@latonyalee7821 Год назад

They sold starting at $200,000 so you are definitely correct. Most of the people who live here could probably afford a regular size home if they wanted to.

I really like the community. I would prefer a built in shelf on either side of the bed. I always have to have a glass of water. These are a few feet closer than I would want. Sometimes the over 55 age can be hard of hearing and that can make it pretty noisy for someone who can hear. I would prefer them to be offset, so you didn't have someone directly across from you. I would also prefer a screened-in porch especially in the south. I live in West Virginia and have one and love it. If you could project the porch a little so that a cross breeze could go through would be nice but I realize it is very humid there. I think these homes would be great for a senior community, as well as for singles. Since I know how noisy it can be by the fire pit, I would move it to the opposite end. 😁 But it depends on your community and if they are quiet at night for those that are not night owls like myself. Or quiet in the morning for those that are not morning people. I might also put in a golf cart path depending on if an activity building was going to be built later on.❤️

@cleoharper1842 2 года назад

While I admire your dream, actual shelter deprivation is only a small part of the homeless issue. There's a great deal of mental illness, disabilities, etc that plague the homeless. If we concentrate on treatment the rest can follow - horse before cart. But if we don't address the mental/emotional instability of sufferers then giving them a house only "fixes" things for a few months at most, before it falls apart again. This is because we're only beginning to understand the reality behind our less-fortunate population. We prescribe a band-aid where surgery is needed. The reality is sure, they need a boost and a safe home - but they also need a support system like all the rest of us. Something homeless people rarely have. Unfortunately almost everyone trying to help stops at shelter because in reality, the necessary solutions are overwhelming. I hope you're braver/more determined than most and if you are, you've got my vote. :-)

The indoor living space is nice, but the lack of personal gardening space is a negative. I’d rather have row houses with personal backyards that could be used for household gardening, pets, barbecues, etc. with a communal front yard or courtyard (depending on the layout). As it is, the houses in the community aren’t much better than living in an apartment. I’d love to have a non-city alternative. - perhaps a mini-village surrounded by farm land or a wildlife-protected area.

I don't want to live that close to my neighbors, but apparently there are people who want to live on top of each other.

Beautiful But how much are the small houses,and the financial costs of the hoa fees

@islandgirl5382 Год назад

So, what is the cost to build? How do you obtain these house plans?

@mjbenjamin9199 Год назад

Love it what’s the price range on these?

@latonyalee7821 Год назад

$200,000 and up. Check out their website

That fire pit that close to so many houses makes me a little nervous. I'd like to see this done with more modest houses. It's good for what it is, better than covering open land with a slew of Macmansions.

As long as people realize that it's not intended for bonfires they should be okay.

Cute house, great idea of pocket neighborhood... Love the dog!!! Sadie stole the show!!!

@BrotherAlan Год назад

Love the pocket neighborhood, small homes. I need a fenced yard for dogs and we want to do our own landscaping both vegetables and flowers and gardening. Won't live in a place with HOA.

@CanYouRememberWhen Год назад

Exactly what I'd like.

I said the same thing and when my neighbor painted her house pink to support a friend that had breast cancer, I was so grateful for the HOA. It didn't stay pink long. HOA's aren't always bad but I understand and respect those who don't want them. Even if there's no HOA, there needs to be Covenants to protect the peoples interest.

Will you ever build properties without HOA, POA, POAA, and DOE?

Where is the hot water tank stored?

@janmontarsi.-blendangles7960 Год назад

Curious what the range of prices are for these homes as well as the monthly HOA fees.

@latonyalee7821 Год назад

They sold starting at $200,000. Which, in my opinion is CRAZY!

@norma5044 Год назад

Keep up the good work guys. Maybe other cities will follow suit. There is a housing crisis across the entire country. Thank you.

So many resources used! Why not apartment/condo buildings?

@maracohen5930 Год назад

“Enough is as good as a feast”, is an aphorism we in the USA haven’t figured out. The until now. And in fact, in this case, better. Too fat, too much stuff, and far too often, more space used too provide storage for too much stuff. I like the fact that Permaculture Design has been utilized by the HOA, and essentially this is a small village.

HOA!!!

@brentcunningham5580 Год назад

Where can I get floor plans?

@valeriebelmonte9556 Год назад

How much are the cabins and HOA fees

@cholt27 Год назад

Tiny houses aren't as affordable as they use to be. And now that they're becoming more popular (out of desperation) the prices are getting higher.Add on an HOA fee that's probably not cheap either. Really truly affordable housing for many is a crisis. When does the greed stop.

@dcg590 Год назад

It’s not greed. It’s a business like any other. You aren’t owed cheap housing.

@vivoyeur Год назад

It looks nice. I hope Clarkston grew to become a better place to live because when I lived there, I was surrounded by idiots and bigots. 1 year was enough for me. I wish you could've shown us the backyard. How much are the HOA fees?

@susanbeals7597 Год назад

This is fine for someone with mobility issues (paved sidewalks), but I prefer a more densely landscaped, lower density housing, like Incredible Tiny Homes has in their Forest and Mountain communities, where I'd have more privacy, and more of my own outdoor space to landscape as I wish. The ITH tiny homes go from 8'x16' up to 10'x40', and also offer a 12'x20'.

@theoblongbox4909 Год назад

These are really big in comparison to most tiny homes I have seen. These are basically the size of a regular apartment.

@latonyalee7821 Год назад

It's funny you would say that, when I mention I wanted to build a 500 square foot house, I get negative responses (I laugh) because so many people live in 500 square foot apartments. I guess it's okay as long as you're paying someone else's mortgage. Society has been brainwashed into thinking things are normal when they actually are not.
