@@lcwathome821 Go to their website. It's in the info section above, and on screen at the end of the vid. Too many sizes and options to quote flat prices.
Lack of housing isn't the driver for homelessness. Plenty of poor people have tiny homes in tiny home communities, they are called ghettos. We tried building lots of cheap housing in the 70's, we got tower blocks that became havens of crime and violence.
I agree if I had money I'd want to help fix our homeless issues in America. Sadly, after working with this population of people regardless of color or financial background. Mental health is the bigger issue. Some are stubborn, wanting to live life on their own terms. They don't conform to traditional go to work and pay bills. Others just have been addicted to alcohol & drugs so long they function 3 weeks out of the month and relapse every 1st week of the month. It's a sad vicious cycle that some never get off.
Homeless people aren't homeless because there are not enough apartments of houses, good sir. I understand your motivation and I'd do the same but you (or I) wouldn't help to address the issue of homelesness.
Small is not just for those who cannot afford big. Some of us always wanted to be in smaller dwellings, and the fact that this is beautiful simply makes it more appealing to anyone who loves small.
I have sold my 4-bedroom 2 1/2 story house after I noticed I was only using maybe about 20% of the space 95% of the time! And maintaining it uses up a lot of my time that I have less time left to do the things I really enjoy. I downsized to a small house - fitted it with hi-tech and smart devices though - and it gave me more controls and, interestingly, I felt more secure.
Very beautiful. The 200sq ft home is much too small for me, but I'd go for a 400 or 600 one. Extremely disappointed there is no mention of pricing, even on the builder's website. I see some tiny home companies quote the reason for building and designing homes as an alternative to the inflated housing market but then price out their tiny homes for 100k, 150k, or something like that. Kind of defeats the purpose in some cases.
Well...the world is different 2day. One day prices are "such-n-such", the next due to supply chain scenarios...may double,,...then drop again for the same reason..
@@frankfromupstateny3796 That doesn't make sense from a real estate perspective. Housing prices for a single home are not in constant flux. Yes, it's possible to change but it's not a day to day change.
@@essentialadvantages6790 that’s insane. $445/sq foot! My house was $145/sq foot when purchased 10 years ago, now “worth” closer to $229/sq foot. I seriously can’t comprehend what the $$ is for, when there’s so much less quantity/labor/time? I understand paying for good materials and a job well done…but at a point it starts teetering towards fraudulent and unethical.
I like the automated shades on the big window, but I would want the shade to go from the bottom up instead of top down, so I could have some privacy but still be able to see out and have some light come through the very top.
I was a member of this channel around 2012 and I lost my account in 2016. I was so surprise when I found this channel again and saw how huge you guys have grown congratulation. I'm so happy seeing couples doing great stuff and progressing. Thanks and God bless your journey.
It looks fantastic and we liked the fact that they can adjust it for off or on-grid. We would also add a small cabinet or a few shelves in the bathroom, to store medicines, soaps and stuff. This would be a great solution for so many couples!
I don't get why these are viewed as "innovative". They are essentially an RV that is done in a very modern design. For the most part, they are not affordable and won't sell in super high volume. None of these solutions seem to be real solutions for say homeless people. Just sayin
How would these homes hold up in Canadian freezing winters? (-40 Celsius then throw in wind chill😨) I think this is an Awesome tiny home! And I love that there isn't a loft!☺👍
The kitchen is pretty small and lack counter space, but then I realized we can use that table to create more counter space. The house is comfortable and functional, thumbs up! And thankful for the sponsor Jackery Explorer 1000. Has been searching for a portable battery like this. Will find out more about it. Thank you for this video!
Induction stoves can be removed so when you aren’t using them , they aren’t on the counter space. Tiny dishwasher is unnecessary. Love the huge window and the larger bathroom.
The dishwasher was a surprise! I want to see that closet though. I have a few things to hang up, not much but some things.... lol. Actually, it's really cool what you are doing. I like it for temporary housing as well, for victims of natural disasters for example. Not sure what your costs are, but there are many applications for this. It's also great to put on a property to house guests. It's just really very cool! Thanks for this video.
Very neat little units! I can see these being used as cool scenic Airbnb's or "in-law" suites. Storage seems to be non existent though. I can't see where one person would store their clothes, bags, and jacket for even a weekend stay, let alone to live in permanently.
I believe the display shelving left of the sofa nearest the large window is customizable. The builder said that these can be used for clothes, etc, but I'd prefer if they copied the look of the kitchen using actual cabinets/closets. If i were to choose, the whole shelving unit would be a 4-section closet; top for carry-on luggage, next a hanging closet section, the 3rd section would remain open to function as a shelf for accessories at night (phone, wallet, keys, tablet/laptop), and the lowest portion is 2-3 drawers for folded shirts, underwear, socks, hats, gloves, etc. Keep the bottom open or make the lowest drawer half the width of the others to accommodate for a pair of sandals and extra shoes.
There seems to be void space above the bed that can be used to place storage. Also the space either on the sides or in front of the window will support storage.
Yes a floating sunk looks great. But for a tiny home you may want to give the option of another drawer if someone plans to spend more time there. Lack of storage for that kind of use :) and dishwasher not something everyone needs over drawer space :). Nice :)
You mention nothing about pricing, nor does the website. I understand certain fees will differ via context (e.g., location, distance, options, et al), but pricing is important. I've appreciated many smaller buildings, but the cost benefit analysis is often off the charts (as in, the cost outweighs benefits). I've found, since teendom, that the best bang for the buck is finding the "right" used property (land and building). I wish that weren't the case.
A conventional prefabricated house(single wide) is around $90k for 900 square feet, that is before transport and setup fees. So Im guessing this is 200 square feet with very high end finishes and materials, after doing the math, something like this would be $50-$60k before setup and transport costs.
I would add two more feet to the height, and loft the bed....add a closet under it in the living room area...add shelves or storage in the bathroom as well. Cool little baby home!
I like how the table can be used as a prep area in the kitchen. Counter space for prep is non existent. 😬 Not sure a dishwasher is even needed. Also, where would one store their clothes?
It's the law here in Seattle that micros now have to be 225 sq ft min...but there are lots of units like this one. Induction & microwave combo I've seen, but the dishwasher?? Even the sink is larger..
It's counterintuitive, but modern dishwashers actually save energy & water, so in many remote or off-grid applications where either of those resources are hard to come by, it can make a lot of sense to carve out some space for one. Agree about clothes storage though. The H/W heater in the tiny closet definitely doesn't leave room for much of a wardrobe, so prospective owners better plan on squeezing in a small, efficient washing machine somewhere too if this unit will be used as anything other than temporary accommodations (i.e., guest house/bunkie).
I adore these small dwellings and understand all of them aren't for full-time living. I just wish they would showcase practical uses as well. For example, where does the trash bin go? A combo refrigerator would be better and the bottom half could be used for everyday items. Plus that tiny dishwasher seems useless and could house cleaning supplies.
Beautiful and practical home especially the bed and bathroom area however I don't know why a dishwater is necessary in a tiny house. It's not for a family so washing up a few dishes shouldn't be a problem. That space could be used to store toaster / kettle. cups. etc. I would like to have seen inside that storage cupboard to see how much clothing could be stored. Beautifully designed home.
Yeah , the 200 is too small , too much re-arranging of furniture for my liking , and Murphy beds are for students not adults in there 40’s or 50’s or older ‼️
Beautiful. Very thought out. But absolutely no storage. One tiny closet, that is shared with the hot water tank. Where does extra TP go? Or paper towels or anything?? If I’m out living remotely and living full time in this, I would need another building for storage.
These designs are genius!!😁 Love that they are also set up for off grid💘I would go w/the 200 or 300 sq ft. The smallest would be great as a guest house🏠
Very nice. I am looking at a project at Point Roberts - in the US just south of Vancouver- and this looks like an ideal structure for my needs. Already sent them a message through the website.
Absolutely fantastic. So perfectly done this guy thought of everything. Nothing missing plus he realize how difficult it is to get access to property! Beautiful material also. 2 questions can it afford our winter? Second question how much cost 400sq feet and 600 sq feet? Do we have to contact them for those questions? Love the coffee table brilliant! Thanks so much you have put emphasis on a very important new way of living!!!!!
Did they say what kind of wood is used on the walls & floor thruout the home? He says CLT cross laminated timber, but what wood (the speckled wood) is it? I like the layout just wish there was additional area for desk/office and possibly kitchen counter space. Actually what make the most sense is when the murphy bed is up, on the underside is a pull up table top/ desktop. Also the couch of course would be movable to say the adjacent or opposite wall, so that as the murphy bed is up, the desk top can be use attached to the underside of the bed
