Most Ideal Tiny House Size?! Permanent Pocket Neighborhood 

Hope you enjoy a tour of the Hiatus, an amazing livable tiny house on foundation! It's 400 sqft, with 2 lofts, it's 598 sqft (see description above for more info). The Hiatus is also the name of the pocket neighborhood, featuring 22 tiny homes clustered around lovely shared community spaces. 🏡🏡🏡👉 *Watch More Tiny Home Community Tours:* ru-vid.com/group/PLlvBXhDyr9H1KYgiaoNKa-OZfOq6vXbkm

If I'm paying that kind of money, I want to be able to stand up in both lofts! No crawling on my knees for almost a quarter of a million, no sir! That's insane!

This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things ru-vid.comUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.

this price destroys the whole point of tiny houses lol

This is a wonderful concept, and I appreciate that the comments on unaffordability are left up, not deleted. Because I think there is something wrong with our American economy that these homes are not comfortably affordable to households with income less than $50,000 -- which is 40% of American families. I would like to see the city of Bend (and all other cities, too) work with builders like this one so these kinds of wholesome, beautiful, welcoming communities become more accessible.

Remember when the movement started and we'd hear about folks building a home for under $20K?

The price...it absolutely deviates the whole purpose of going tiny...rent, mortgage, taxes, etc. Way too expensive 😔

I still love this layout even after three years. It's still a very well-thought-out home.

You had me hooked until I realize there wasn’t a single closet in the entire place and when the price came out…uffdah! $250,000 for a house with less than 600 ft.² …that is some pricey square footage. Except for those two issues…I absolutely love the design of the house and the fact that your electricity is completely taken care of by the solar panels.

this house was beautiful but for 249,000 I can build a 3 or bedroom ground up

Love the houses and the idea but that price is a deal breaker

I thought that the point of buying a tiny home was for them to be cheaper.

$250k?!?! Hell no! Only a total idiot would pay that

Are they kidding, 250,000 for a tiny house. THATS NUTS... Budget 70- 80,000 for a really nice tiny house. Get out of the city and buy 10 acres and STILL come in lees than half of this!!

Very nice. You're really paying for the land and community as well. This is the new modern trailer park for the Robinhood kids.

“All the paths are designed so you run into someone and have to talk to your neighbors” Introverts: “no thanks, I’ll pass”

Gorgeous home but need more privacy for that price. Will be following!

This is what society should be like, nice, peaceful, communitarian, and clean.

It looks like he just had the idea to turn a trailer park concept, into a "tiny house" or "eco friendly house" park. Unfortunately at the end of the day, these home owners will probably have similar problems as people who own their trailers in a trailer park. If you don't own the land that your home sits on, it opens up the door for you to be robbed blind by the land owner every month.

Love ❤️ love tiny houses 🏡, how ever, my budget for a tiny house is never going to be their outrageous prices.

Those houses are too close. I wouldn’t want to be forced to “ bump into” my neighbors or for them to see what I’m doing on my porch 😂 love the design though

It feels a bit like a deconstructed apartment building. I really like the concept, love the zero energy, even that it’s a community just too close together for me.

It's a community. How fab!

Lovely design. The price definitely would not work for me. The movement started for several reasons: affordable housing, less environmental impact, end to mortgage, etc. Now it's become a status symbol almost to be able to live in one or own one. I had the opportunity to purchase two about six years ago for 30 each. Kicking myself that I didn't because things have really changed. All that said, I understand the high quality materials and cost of building has gone up. And aside from all that, this is a very well thought out design. Beautiful.

When i 1st started watching the tiny house movement on youtube the homes were cheaper like $20,000. But honestly i live in Oakland California across the bridge from San Francisco the average 1 Bedroom 1 Bathroom Condo is starting off at $700,000. So for me i would be willing to spend $250,000 on my tiny home because i personally appreciate modern day appliances and furniture. If you are someone who dont mind staying in a one room Shake, sit on top of milk crates, collect rain water to shower and wash clothes in a river then Yes you probably can get away with spending $20,000 or less for a tiny home. Just remember its important for you to feel comfortable in the home that you live in big or small.

If I could get a few friends/family as neighbors this would be amazing. It would be so nice to be this close to all your friends/family because you can hang out for a bit and go home like it's no big deal.

More people should live this way.

What a great community! The price is definitely too high for me, but a great concept nonetheless. This is the reason I want to go tiny...too save on energy and plant my own food

Geeeeez. That price point unreal! My 3 bedroom home was almost the price of the this is unreal.

I love watching these videos. I use to live more like this before children. Honestly since the pandemic and being stuck at home I really am grateful for my extra space, and being able to store a month of supplies. I need a happy medium. Maybe 750 square feet with a shed.

Kinda dream house right here, I would just use different materials and a different outdoor deck system, but wow 👏💯

I'm glad you like this book. It sounds like a very useful and informative resource for shed-building enthusiasts. ru-vid.comUgkxzaRUJNcbypw-fRBDbqqz43ULIa-1EGP- The author seems to have a lot of experience and knowledge on how to build sheds of different styles and purposes. You must have learned a lot from his tips and examples. The photos are also impressive, they demonstrate the quality and beauty of the sheds. The book itself is also well-made, with glossy, thick paper and a soft cover that is pleasant to touch. This book is a wonderful choice. blush

WOW! These are stunning! I love everything about this project. I love that there is a front and back door, the only thing I would want to "tweak" is to move that back door over towards the kitchen a bit more, in order to fit in a second set of proper stairs and lose that ladder. That's literally all I would change. The colour palette and design choices are not exactly what I would choose, if building a one off for myself, but that's a personal thing and doesn't reflect on quality or ease of use. I really love that the lounge is in it's own designated area, and isn't just lost as a foot traffic space to access the rest of the house. Anything that interrupts with your enjoyment of the home is always a big turn off for me, such as converting sofas into beds, or having people enter the home between the sofa and the TV. One thing I really DO NOT understand, as a non-American myself, is the common use of the front porch for entertainment, foot traffic, family BBQs etc, as it's so exposed to the neighbourhood. That offends my British need for ultimate privacy, and being disturbed while I'm sitting outside relaxing. 😂 With most tiny homes, they generally have a front porch and that's the only entrance door. I always immediately look for somewhere within the home that I could fit a more discreet main front door, so I could picture living in the home using it back to front. That way if I'm chatting with a friend on the porch, overlooking my private BACK GARDEN, and someone knocks on the front door with a parcel or whatever, I have time to slip a robe over my swimwear or pyjamas before opening the door. I'm all for keeping cordial conversation with neighbours, but I want to sit on my back porch and do my own thing, not be forced to engage in conversation simply because the front porch faces the main street with the world and his wife strolling by triggering meaningless chit chat. And even though these homes are nestled into a compact lil village, they've even figured THAT aspect of living out. You can sit on your back porch discreetly, private but not shut off, so if you aren't facing people directly or making eye contact, they can respect your alone time without feeling blatantly ignored. It would be hard to avoid that on an open front porch without people thinking you're rude or ignorant. But the main traffic area, parking and postal deliveries come to the rear of the home, which essentially becomes the official front door, and that area is designed to be somewhere that people can mingle and call out to each other without fear of infringing on anyone's privacy, and that is SUCH a unique design, and cleverly understood need for human interraction AND privacy, that I've NEVER seen on any other tiny home community. Even without considering the DESIGN of the home itself, just that vision, of picturing what this village can offer in terms of true human contentment and fulfillment, I am SO IMPRESSED with. It wasn't purely profit, roofs over heads, unique design features or gimmicky trends that drove this place to exist. Before one contractor turned up in a truck, the true foundation of this village was the concept of living experience, harmony and contentment that human beings would get from living here. The quality of life over the practical needs of a building. The selling of a lifestyle rather than the selling of individual houses. Everything fits in perfect balance. A sense of true old fashioned community that barely exists anymore. No person dying here would go unnoticed until the stench of death forced residents to even ACKNOWLEDGE they had a next door neighbour! 😳 Yet the same community also respects and supports personal space and privacy. Growing and eating fresh foods is something people can engage in, or not, as they choose. Energy bills taken care of. Landscaping and maintenance that is beautiful, safe, tranquil and calming. This place is very very special. ❤

I love this tiny house, it has good floor layout and so much potential to personalize the space.

Love this layout, love it's a permanent structure!

Fantastic! Clean lines, elegant and with solar for electricity, add to that the 'community' feel of the place! Brilliant! And, funnily, the size of my flat in the UK. - If I didn't live across the 'pond', I'd move into one of these houses like a shot! An idea to think about: a community work shed, for 'handy' people to 'make' stuff / repair stuff. Just with work benches and shelves, people to bring their own machinery and tools.

The under-stair storage drawers should be on nice smooth slides for $250K

I think this is a beautiful tiny house and they aren't just for people wanting to buy cheap, they can be for anyone and especially for anybody that wants to downsize and simplify their lives, reduce their possessions, live off grid if possible and reduce living costs. I wish we had more like these in the UK but land over here is very expensive to begin with and then you have to try and get permission to build an off grid home.

Love that you can actually stand in the bedroom. The loft on the other side would be used for storage. I wouldn’t want to crawl underneath the house. Very nice Tiny house.

Simply beautiful.

$250k is bloody ridiculous.

Final sale price starting at $249,000! Good grief. I know it's Oregon and like anything else on the west coast it's going to cost you the soul of your firstborn child, but I'll stick to the Ozarks where for that kind of money I can get some major acreage, build my own house, and have money left over.

Amazing tiny house!!!Extremely stylish!!!

My favorite Tiny house ever! ❤❤❤

I like the smart, functional layout. This is a very beautiful tiny home but out of my budget even though $0 electric bills help soften the blow. Thumbs up.

They are lovely homes. It's such a beautiful lil community. Love it

Am I the only one that gets a "Brave new world" feeling from this hole tiny house movement?

One of the BEST tiny homes yet!!!

Beautiful house, but I think the average American can't afford it.

Beautiful designs. Love everything especially the second loft. 💕

The coolest tiny house I've seen!❤

So glad to finally see these houses and the neighborhood finished, they are beautiful!! Its the location that's so expensive, this wouldnt be near the price for a home if it was built in Oklahoma. I live in a remodeled 1300 sq ft home built in 1925 and I paid 93,000.

Very beautiful! I love the wood, black and white colors in this.

It is so WONDERFUL to see all the small living options that are possible! A beautiful pocket-neighborhood like this offers an amazing way to actually own a quality home in Bend, Oregon.

That price tag is crazy! I’ll stay on my private land with headroom thank you. Seriously, the cost 🤯

This is really nice. I like the house and community. The only thing I didn't like was the ladder access to the 2nd loft. Would be a great space for a single mom with one kid, single person, or couple who doesn't have kids at home.

Nice layout, but the price is way too much for the size.

I could see myself living in a small community however, I'd like a lot more space between the houses.

Brilliant!!! the houses are perfect, the community idea is awesome, walking paths, gardens and a pond. Love it all.

The house looked lovely and the shared community space is beautiful. It looks very liveable and good for environment. Something to appreciate when many of us around the world are in lockdown. Thank you for sharing.

Love the idea ❤ but can't do ladders and I feel they are very expensive. Love the community! Simple inside so it really let's you decorate and make your own.

Fabulous designs, purpose and function!! I’m a die hard believer in tiny homes. I hope you can get to a place where they can be more affordable. Kudos!!

Introvert's worst nightmare: You are forced to bump into your neighbor every time you go outside 😂

Beautifully Designed !!! It does Not feel tiny at all !!! And location is also really fab !!! The pricing needs to be relooked at !!! But beautiful finishes and Lovely space saving features!!!

I want one in my area....the house and the community. This is wonderful!

The way you designed everything is magnificent. I would love this idea as a family compound. Each having their own tiny house. We all take care of our Mother with Alzheimer’s. There’s four siblings. Our Mother could still feel like she has her independence with all of us close by. We kinda have it like that now. Our Mother lives in an apartment in my sisters house n they’re right around the corner from my house. Between the two of us our Mom is never alone. We have cameras to watch over her when we’re not in her apartment with her. We want her to have her dignity. We know there may come a time when we have to hire a nurse for her but we’re never putting her in a home. Fortunately we have the option of taking care of her ourselves. I know not everyone does. This would be perfect for us. 💝🌎💝

Love the bike box option ❤️

Absolutely beautiful!

This place looks so nice!

Really beautiful.

What a beautiful tiny house Jesse, absolutely fantastic !!! 💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻💯👍🏻

Yes! Please Make Some Permanent Tiny House Pocket Neighborhood's In California!! 💞🤟

Wooooow!!! I looooove this tiny house 🤗❤️

The houses are beautiful and I love the concept. I'm looking to do something similar in New England.

So much in small, it is very thoughtful design.

This is absolutely exceptional - what a fantastic vision and it's come to life so beautifully! Inspired!!

Finally a developer who is sane! Let's hope those Damn laws get changed and smaller homes/developments get a fairer go at it. Well done overall with some very thoughtful design.

What a gorgeous place! I live in a 530 square-foot studio condominium and I would gladly trade my space for this one. By the way, my tiny condo is in Seattle and has been appraised at over $300,000! You have done a fabulous job with your landscaping and common spaces. I can see why people love living there!

Looks very comfortable. Great job

Soooo in love with this house and the concept!!! So nice!!!!

Love them thank you for sharing

This would be super cool to build a small community like this with dog owners and have a shared fenced area where all the dogs could run and play!!

It's so spacious love the fact that you have a proper staircase but not in the way well planned out love it ..

A quarter of a million dollars. Seriously?!

Beautiful houses! He looks like Jim Caviezel!

Totally liveable space. Love the concept!

This music is as cool as the houses!!! Yes!

Nice layout, but the price is ridiculous for a 600 square foot house without garage or yard.

Not enough room to say all the wonderful things I have to say about this project but Kudos to all of you ! If more people thought the way you guys think the world would be heading in a very positive direction,, I really love the house that is viewed here and that ironwork railing in the fact that it has a bath tub?? Wow...there's nothing small about this tiny house.. This Is the kind of environment you would want to come home to at the end of a long stressful day and just detox and re energize...

wow this is really really nice! such a great way they have thought of everything (parking, pond, walkways, zero energy, etc) Nice work!

Absolutely Amazingly Stunning 🥰 Love The Layouts 😍

Overall, I love❤ it but with the ladder, you can't age into the home. Ladders are for age 5-25... after that, if you take a tumble, ur OUT.😉

Love the houses....but I would NEVER live in OR again...Spent almost 6 years there and was so glad when I was able to move. The cost of housing is horrible.

Got my 3 bedroom, 2 restroom, office, 2 car garage, open concept, and pool, and in a golf course neighborhood for 208k. (South Texas)

This is my favorite by far💜

Handsome houses, but seriously I can't imagine a couple trying to make do with so little clothes closet space.

I would make at least half of the other loft closet/storage

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice place.

STUNNING 😍

Ok, so I'm guessing they're located in a part of the country where a two bedroom home is over a million dollars....There's no way I'm paying $250,000 for a tiny house....SMH...
