Don't Judge This Skinny House From The Outside... It’s Better Than You Think! 

$295K for the pie house is a freaking bargain. Here in Sydney, Australia that size house would easily be a million dollars or more in 2022.

What constitutes a small house depends upon one's point of view..... Average house sizes vary around the world: Australia = 214m2, US = 201m2, Germany = 109m2, Spain = 97m2, UK = 76m2, China = 60m2. So how small is small?

How well would these tiny eco-friendly homes hold up during a hurricane/tornado/earthquake though? That's the question I don't see being asked.

I love the last one, kitties got their own custom "room" too! Sweet!

$315,000 for that "starter home" in Louisianna seems ridiculous. If it was in Los Angeles or NYC, I might understand that price, but I thought Louisianna was a relatively low-cost area for housing.

I am claustrophobic. I could never live in a skinny house. They are cool to look at though.

The Keret House looks like a air duct for a commercial ac unit, and reminds me of the Hole ( Solitary confinement) I was in in Texas. Could live there easily.. And Im Polish too. Was fun to watch. Great video

ive been to london once and my god was it crowded. i live in a town 5 hours away from london but it is weird how ridiculous and tall and towering building are. feel claustrophobic writing this.

Well, my approximately 200 year old L&N Railroad bunk house is 17 feet by 45 feet two stories with now enclosed two story porch along one side. So, it is smaller inside than it looks outside as you drive by. Still, with all the interior doors lined up along one side on the first floor, shotgun house style, the rooms are of a decent size. The single bathroom was cut out of the rear room when it was added, making that room smaller. And the stairs to the second floor are exterior to the upstairs porch, which as I said is now enclosed. All the upstairs rooms have separate entrances off the porch, but also doors between the three rooms. Non of the second floor has electrical outlets yet. This old house cost me $23,900 and will need plenty of repair and remodel to bring it up to modern standards, but it will likely be worth more on the modern market than I will have in it when it is done. Worthy investment, I think.

i just love the sophisticated yet simple humor delivered with a no rush type narration, just perfect to enjoy while sipping on a glass of wine!! 👌

I’m glad you mentioned Boston. There are so many small houses and apartments in this city. Nothing small about the prices! And the Spite House is definitely one of the coolest here. Thanks for the shout out.

Out of all the homes, the skinny house in Japan looks to be the best looking and most liveable. It makes use of it's space without looking shabby, has room to move about, and looks calming and relaxing inside. And the illusion of space is not half bad. The other homes look either mostly industrial or rundown in some way.

It’s weird how the large and small houses are pretty but the medium ones are hideous most of the time Edit: omg I got more then one like this is a achievement! Tyyyyyy!!

The Cowboy Boot house is awesome and makes dude a good chunk of change too. Was fun to watch. Great video

I drive past the the "Spite House" in Seattle many times a year. I believe the second tale is closer to the original story of what happened.

The last house was shown on big living in a tiny home by Bryce. Its absolutely gorgeous. The catio, is for of course their furbabies. They have 2 cats. Where they live, animals can prey on the The cats. So unordered to keep them safe from animals and hawks they built that. The litter box is also placed out side, and cam be accessible through the stair case. The opening is also through the staircase to. The guy is a plumber I believe. The inside is absolutely spectacular in style and clever storage.

Yee-haw! I would love to live in the boot house or the hat home. They have one of the best and most spacious accommodations I have seen and they also look really pretty and livable. The boot house and its warmth of color really surprised me. This definitely put a big grin on my face. Great video!

You’re voice and manner of speech is as enjoyable as the content of the video. This one was lots of fun. Those houses were really quite lovely for their slender size, not claustrophobic at all. Thanks for the lineup and tour.

Well, I've learned that I can't even afford a tiny house. Doesn't give me much hope for the future either lol

My favorite was the one with four bedrooms in it. I would love to have the floor plans for that one.

I can understand houses being so expensive in Europe where there is limited space. In the USA though, it is robbery what they are charging for houses. Even RV's & Tiny Houses are ridiculously priced....and that is IF you can afford a spot to park them in.

I would like to live in any one of those houses, but I'd paint them to make them so vibrant you'd need sunglasses to look in it.

That Japanese house looked pretty nice, I kinda wanna live there.

How angry do you gotta be to build a whole house out of spite? 🤣

I’m not big on tiny homes but if I had to choose I think my fav was the last one. We have cats so that would PURRRRRfect for them. I loved the outside area with a tube coming from the house for them to go through.

I honestly love all but one of these! As a single person with no kids, but one cat, I love the last one. They're all so beautiful and nicely furnished! I just don't think I could handle the one in Poland. I think it would drive me mad like Jack. Too claustrophobic lol.

I recently subscribed to this channel and I’m loving it! The content is straight to the point and the thumbnails are NOT clickbait! And the jokes, puns and references are something else! Thank you, BE AMAZED!

They're all so fabulous and quirky, how can you choose a favourite?? I love the Living Big in a Tiny House channel, they feature phenomenal tiny houses from gorgeously quirky to hyper modern, they've done a tour of the last place featured with the catio ❤️

Why would a house needing to be a certain distance from the sidewalk lead to a pie shaped house?

I could never live this minimalistic but I very much appreciate the creativity

I had the idea that when i have enough money ill buy lots of sea containers and build a home from it. Like 2 for a master bedroom, 1 for a guest room, 1 for bathroom, 3 for living room and kitchen, 1 for storage, 1 for cleaning clothes and 1 as office Edit: maybe 2 or 4 extra for a neat design

The pause @ 0:33 made me anxious for the video lol. Love the presentation on this channel 💯❤️ Idk if anyone else caught it, but that boot house had a piece in the shape of Texas on it. That's a cool incorporation.

London isn’t the capital of Britain. It’s the capital of England. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own capital cities. I really liked the Texan cowboy houses. I’d live in them. Very interesting video. Thank you.

YeeHall! I liked the boot and hat the best. However, the last one (the trailer) is great also.

The yellow Puerto rican house gives me anxiety aha not being able to lay down sideways in my house would cause me some serious claustrophobia.

I absolutely love it. Affordable and shockingly enough, pretty cozy..

Tysm

I just love it when I get notifications saying "Someone has liked your comment" or "Someone has subscribed!" Makes my day better!!!!!!!!!!!😍

So happy for you! Congratulations for 10M subs!

I would live in one of those not gonna lie :D

Congrats on 10 million subscribers you deserve it Lot of love from Bangladesh ♥️🇧🇩

It’s not the size that shocks me it’s the prices that people pay for these houses

10 million subscribers. Congrats!!🎉🎉🎉👏👏

10:34 Talk about "there once was a lady who lived in a shoe" 😁 Im sorry, I just couldnt help myself LOL.

10m truly amazing in itself,bless you!

I wonder a few things: Are these skiny tiny houses even legal? What is the statutory minimum living space standard and the statutory minimum floor area standard? And how can you live in a wheelchair and with a rollator in these skiny tiny mini houses, ie how is the mandatory accessibility requirement met in these houses?

I love that these SMALL designs are very LARGE ideas.

The skinny homes not sandwiched between other buildings look like a strong gust of wind would knock them over. Then all the ones that go up to make the necessary space is way to many stairs for my liking. Not mention the ridiculous prices. The $113,000 home isn’t too bad.

This channel is truly amazing

For environmentally friendly I'd rather have a Geodesic Dome Home. My favorite is the Double Mulberry since it would give the SO and I each an office and rooms when we have kids. And, since you have to build it, we could add stuff for the cats without causing too much mess. This particular model also contains a library, perfect for studies and homework! By the way, I highly doubt most, if any, of these places are ADA compliant. And no, I do not call that little strip of pavement in Boston 'outdoor space'. I can't live in a house that has no real outdoor space and is bunched up to the neighbors like that.

There's a "Spite" house in St. Paul, Minnesota. The address is 1250 3rd Street East at the corner of 3rd Street East & Gotzian Street. The lot is triangle shaped due to Gotzian Street running at an angle. The owner wanted to build a bigger house but the city of St. Paul said it had have a sidewalk on Gotzian Street. The owner built it in a "Pie/Wedge" smaller version of what was had been planned originally...w/ no sidewalk. Google Earth/Street View....1250 3rd St. E. St. Paul Minnesota. See for yourself.

Wow a channel that actually had a story for the thumbnail👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼. Appreciate that.

I wish some of the more affordable houses had 2 bedrooms. It seems as if most of the people living in the smaller homes don’t have children. I would love to do this but would have to have 2 bedrooms so my son isn’t sleeping in the same room as us until he is 18! Lol

It amazing how some places all homes look alike and some all different in every way!

I have been around Keret house. I walked past it before and took a picture. Its pretty cool!

I have nothing to say about these houses, except be amazed. 🤩

These all are super neat. I'd be happy in one. 😊

I cant believe they can fit so many things in a house that is only 6 feet wide !!

I drive by the boot and hat a lot. It’s great to finally see the inside!

Houses are so stupidly over priced that I can sell a shoe box as a home for 100K dollars...LOL

Seems like there'd be so much negativity attached to the spite house.

I love the pie house!! And the starter homes

OMG I want that last house! It's so cute and I always thought 'Tiny Homes' as they are called, would be so much fun to live in!

I’m from Texas and still live here and the cowboy boot and hat homes do not surprise me at at all. That would be cute rental property for BnB.

I like how he goes straight to the point on the shown thumbnail

my dream is to live in a mini house, with cats and a dog, and i won't give up the mini house part lol

5:41 My only complaint with that house would be the giant window right in front of the stairs. I don't understand the appeal of windows. I don't want people to be able to look in on me when I'm in my own home.

If you love Dan's cowboy houses 11:15

Glad to see the inventors of the TARDIS have gone into real estate.

My god, no wonder there are so many homeless families.

At 10 minutes the house made like a boot reminds me of the book “the old woman that lived in a shoe” haha 😂

Ive passed by la casa estrecha! Im always visiting san juan, its a really nice place to go to, but ive never seen the house on the inside so its nice to see it for once

Keep going strong “be amazed” you videos continue to amaze me. 10 million and counting congratulations 🥳🎊

We support you Ukraine God bless you all fight until the end!! X

Only 6 feet wide? I would be worried about structural integrity with high winds.

- 21:57 that's my FAVORITE house 🏠!! Especially love the cat playground. Super awesome. Do they have their own RU-vid? I want to see more of their house.

Be amazed your vidios are so interesting to watch and entertaining 😀

I will live in any of those, any day.

Good job on the 10 mill I been watching your vids for a few years wit different acounts and I love them

That Horinouchi Japanese house is sooo pretty 😍💙

That wouldn’t last long in tornado states

Ur m'y favorite youtuber

Actually I used to live in a apartment with 1 and a half bathrooms, but we didn't call it a half bathroom obviously. We nick named the bathroom the "closet bathroom" becuse it was relatively small, there was room to move a small bit, but that's it. I dont know why I felt the need to comment this, but still! Also love your videos!

“The kitchen, dining room, and living room seamlessly and spaciously flow into one another”… otherwise known as a trailer home. And no. Walls are a beautiful and necessary architectural wonder, and for one simple reason. They create “rooms”. And just like the lack of walls so widely accepted by the previous generation (with some equally wild selling of the idea via HGTV, BHG, and similar outlets) to make them palatable. The only people truly making a killing on these things are the developers. The cost of NOT building actual rooms anymore, is never reflected in the actual price, just as in those tiny urban “starter homes”. $335,000 for a slice of a house barely 500sq feet? You would think the reduction of materials required, less labor and time as well, would cheapen it up a little. To be honest, I wouldn't feel this way except for the fact that people are exploiting other's desire to live more responsibly. While they in turn charge buyers outrageous sums and then move out to the suburbs to massive houses taking up acres and acres of land. Nothing like creating a marketing fog that enables the greedy to profit off of the easily taken, yet good intentioned. In essence, we've been sold a bill of goods, playing on our desire to be ecologically responsible, etc., except with a caveat. The developers make a killing, selling a shack that looks good, but within a month is guaranteed to lead to some serious buyer's remorse. We're indeed reaching a population level where warehousing just the poor and elderly is not enough, we have to do the same with our young, upwardly mobile as well. Only to sell this to them, developers have to trick them in much the same way they tricked their parents into believing walless expanses of a 2500 sq. ft. house was somehow a thing everyone really wants -- because they saw it on tv. Only this time it has to play to the current generation's ideas of personal responsibility, hipness level, and a sense of social conscience. But it is because it isn't coming from the right place or spirit, that I consider it so phony.

Cute house, but, the opening picture of this video is quite deceptive. I thought the whole house was just three feet wide. Yet, it expands at one side to accommodate larger things. I was like - """ There's no way someone could live in a 3 ft wide house ! """ Then, I saw how it expands. 😉

keep up the super good content love your vids

9:51 I think I have heard of this builder, Dan Phillips, before. What a genius!

These tiny houses are incredible, I'd seen a couple of them but that boot😄👍 If my overcrowded workshop is anything to go by, if I had one of these houses, it wouldn't end well 🙅‍♀️

“Its not about the outside, its about the inside”-Unkown

The sound quality on the video is a lot better than the last one

Love you man I watch your videos morning midday and when I'm eating dinner

Pie house Illinois was built in my town Deerfield Illinois. People were So curious when it was built .Because everyone else was building McMansions at the time. Perfect for the little slice of life in Deerfield! 🏡🥇🥂

ur cool!:)

Hi amazing

I grew up down the road from Pie House IL! Saw it every day going to and from school

Thank you for actually including the videos thumbnail first instead of making somebody watch the entire video just to see it

I respect everyone who were involved in this Seriously the best piece that i ve ever seen on RU-vid 💌 Hate off to well all 💟 love your videos ❤ .

These houses are cool!

I grew up in Deerfield, IL. My dad & I would visit it all the time.

Buy a slice of a house... Talk about a 52 fake out😂🤣Cool
