This floor layout is for FILIPINO CLIENTS. People commenting about how they want it to be is valid, but saying this layout is ridiculous because it doesn't fit their way of living is none sense. Filipinos do laundry outside. This house is designed for a Filipino lifestyle, hence, the name of the channel "Pinoy."
I understand that this was designed for the Philippines in mind. Extend the carport and lanai to the backyard so that an exterior utility room with space for a washer/dryer and hookups can be incorporated and next to it, there should be a storage closet for outdoor equipment. Most Filipinos hang their laundry out to dry but, a dryer is so convenient during the rainy season. An interior open concept living room and kitchen would be best to allow for better air flow. A split level air conditioner should be optional in the living room and kitchen space for really hot and humid days. All those glass windows could use at least some wooden shutters for typhoon season.
Do not people there need storage for thing? like towels and toilet paper and stuff? that had none! I don't think it's realisitc for even the Philippians. I agree with your ideas though.. I woudnt want my washer and dryer in the back yard and even that cover over the top won't stop rain if it's windy at all so they won't last long in weather. Cute idea but not realistic at all.
All the other comments are valid, although I’m ok with the closet cabinets. I would make two changes: eliminate the wall between the lr & the kitchen. That will make the space seem palatial. As for the laundry area, I don’t see any room inside for it, but maybe the external one could be enclosed for protection from the weather.
I really like this , off road car parking also 👍🏻 I really think these smaller homes should be the future for affordable housing or even social housing .
Loved the house. I could easily see myself there. Only change I would make is washer/dryer needs to be inside otherwise you limit the home to an area with year round moderate temperature and minimal rain. Where I live it gets quite cold in the winter and unpredictable rainy days in spring and fall. Maybe a washer/dryer combo in the kitchen
the design is well for tropical warm climate.id rather have a wall in the carport.so fumes don't get on the food.and a stackable washer dryer inside.be hard to cart out from linen to clothes outside.all the time.id add a tool place and table in the carport that pulls down.and can be locked.a green room. for garden under the solar panel's. but I'm not living in a tropical area.thank you for this design.
In many asian countries, laundry machines are outside, also wardrobe cabinets are used instead of walk in closets. Most houses in Asia are constructed of concrete, rebar and finished in tile, so you won’t find too many interior walls that use wood studs. This model has nice space saving aspects but should have a mini a/c system at least in the living room and one of the bedrooms. I like the covered front entrance and car port with canned lighting in the ceiling.
@@michaelsinclair3321 Drawbacks: No enclosed garage. Thieves, you know. And, imagine how hot all of that concrete would get in a climate like mine: Texas. And, no natural vegetation and no privacy from neighbor noise.
@@michaelmullin7941 Ok Michael you made your points why its not a win win for you but nevertheless it is a nice house that cannot be denied, in regards to the downsides you pointed out, granted security is a big concern today and i agree therefore if there's a concern about the carport just substitute it for a garage, #2 too much brick? Air conditioning throughout is a possibility, #3 from the way this house is situated as well as the wall surrounding it i see privacy and here not too many homes are close to this model, there are flowers and grass and front lawn, inside is decorated nicely but could be upgraded or refurnished depending on the style and tastes of the buyer, really the only thing i would want to add here is a pool and hot tub, a extended patio with outdoor kitchen / grill and some sliders to open the back up leading to the pool then add the rest of the wall with tall greenery around for added privacy and then it would really be a stunner but overall Michael this is a nice home with potential.
Many are so used to over-indulgence and living beyond their means but this is quite comfy and if someone chose to build it on a larger property they could mindfully just add more. Its efficient and quite nice. I also realize once you have a few people living in it space could be challenging but how much do we really need? Additions could include a satellite building in back, perhaps an underground space too for hot days (geography permitting), and some elevated space too.
So cute for the right person. Very nice and clean looking. I live in almost 1000 square feet house. I like a kitchen that has more cabinets and shelfs and need a big art studio. I work from home. I have an 8×10 ft painting studio. That is little too small. Living in my 1000 square ft house, I realized the importance of having cooking top space and lots of closet space for towels, winter blankets, proper cooking and cleaning supplies. Other wise it will looks like junk just sitting around the house. Also we get too much snow for that kind of roof. It's still super cute for someone who doesn't have to have too much stuff and doesn't care about a tub, washer and dryer. You need a space for those dirty clothes if they are going to sit around.
When you call a house cute, it's code for too small. Believe me. I live in one with two other family members and only one bathroom. Thank goodness we really love one another!!
@@kysmik8214 that would be why I said “not everyone’s experience is yours”- because they blatantly said cute is code for too small. I literally pointed out that isn’t always the case and it depends on the circumstances
@@kysmik8214 “Not everyone’s experience is yours.”- means different life circumstances will result in different opinions on whether or not a cute house is too small. “When you call a house cute, it’s code for too small”- their comments blanket calling every cute house too small and not just applying it to their own experience. No where did I invalidate someone else’s experience, I merely pointed out their experience is not everyone’s. They did the blanket statements, not me. I would agree that 3-4 people in a tiny house with one or two bedroom would of course feel cramped and small. I was responding the way I did to point out only that cute doesn’t mean too small, not that cute doesn’t mean small at all or that their cute house isn’t too small for them.
Nicely made video. House does not have enough storage (kitchen storage is up high, not easily accessible) (bedrooms need real closets with storage) (need linen cabinets In bathrooms)(needs storage for things like vacuum cleaner, brooms, mops), and having a washing machine in the house would be an essential for me.
A small or tiny house is not practical. Land in my state is very expensive. A single family dwelling with insufficient storage and food prep room, on a plot of land could house three families with just a very little extra space in stacked housing. This country is experiencing a shortage of affordable housing. Affordable does not have to mean cramped sheds, individual but poorly planned housing for single families or dense housing. It can be stacked triplexes or fourplexes in clustrs that have sufficient closets, sufficient kitchen prep and storage space, shared laundry facilities and shared outdoor space. As a child my family of 6 lived in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment. It was in clusters of two story buildings (8 or 12 apartments in a single building.) Shared laundry and laundry drying yards (which could be dispensed with in today's environment but were certainly energy efficient) were available and there was ample and safe green space for community activities where children played. It would have been perfect with one more bedroom and an additional half bath for 6 people. Each apartment had a small storage shed outside for mops, brooms and other similar uses which could be locked. Each family had a carport space with a very small storage box that also could be locked. Developments like that was common after WWII. It was not run down. It was very cramped with two small bedrooms for 2 adults and 4 small children but it wasn't obviously built for desperate people out of cinder blocks with inadequate space to gather as a family or to invite friends over for family occasions.. it wasn't cramped and ugly as some government built affordable housing was. It was adequate but definitely utilitarian. It wasn't finished with very expensive materials. In this time linoleum plank floors and tile counters would do but families could, within given rules, upgrade at their expense with approved contractors to another counter ginish or floor covering or add dishwashers or portable air conditioning units at the tenant 's expense with the caveat that any improvements were to remaine if the tenant moved. Some might upgrade and some might not, but remaining improvements would not increase rent. Those improved apartments could be rented as they become available to extremely low income and more desperate families who qualify by income. Therefore, the poorest families would get most benefit over time as tenants choose to improve thei apaartments and eventually move out. Some families might choose to live in an unairconditioned apartment and save for a home, others might prefer immediate comfort and live in an affordable apartment long term. Again, that kind of improvement would be at resident's expense, this kinid of scheme gives tenants a stake in maintenance and pride in their dwelling and encourages stability. Those apartments of my childhood were a great first home for young couples. Often they moved from this shared, stacked housing that was very affordable to their first single family dwelling. Later, much later, they were converted into condominiums. Upper apartments and lower ones were combined into spacious two story 3 and 4 bedroom condos and they were not available anymore as affordable apartments for young married couples with kids or sin b le seniors on social security incomes. It was a terriffic loss to the housing stock in my city. With appropriate maintenance and good management such utilitarian but very liveable developments could replace dying malls. Such housing stock, properly built, could serve for many, many years and greatly alleviate housing shortages accross the country. This requires federal, state and municipal investment and cetermination. These developments could be built to conserve energy with solar power and good insulation. They could be green projects but not necessarily entirely solar ones. They could be built to conserve water but not be entirely independendent of current water infrastructure. The green space and roof runoff could be built to conserve water for landscape use. Small community clinics and mental health and addiction recovery services could be incorporated into the whole community. I don't see a downside if politicians would cooperate on all levels to build such developments. They would serve well in a changing climate, be utilitarian without being totally cramped and inconvenient. They would not be tall enough to require elevators or the most stringent engineering for earthquake safety or other environmental stress, but would still meet code for lower rise two and three story buildings. If they were built on former mall properties they would already be near enough to transportation infrastructure and water is already accessible and could be adapted as the units were constructed. Parking would not be a problem either. Why aren't we pressing HUD and state agencies to work with municipalities to construct such communities of affordable housing? They need not be horrible temporary and ugly or very crowded places. It worked for me. Additionally, kids cidn't have a chance to misbehave. There were always adults around who would tell your mom if they caught you with a cigarette or if some kid was a bully. Surprisingly, community pressure worked most of the time and fami.ies that shared courtyards bonded and helped each other. New neighbors were quickly integrated into the community culture without formally bring coerced. d
I love the design. Here is the only thing I would change and add. Indoor Laundry room and put a grill where the it is now. Second move the lai to the back of the house. Doing the laundry outside in the winter would be dreadful
gumagawa kami bahay dati pero pangarap ko na ngayon maliit na bungalow. ganito lang din bahay namin nung bata pa kami pero may malaki backyard saka front yard. hindi na uso ganitong bahay sa Maynila, masikip na saka pataas ng pataas mga bahay, bukod sa sobrang mahal
It's a cascade effect, its water motif. Very hip! (But the roof is not flat it has a slope to drain the water. One side slopes to the left and the other to the right. Look carefully.)
Love the layout and overall it was beautifully done. Interesting choice of art work in the dining room. I am guessing the animator is possibly Catholic? Either way, I thought it was cool to include it. 😊
This house no doubt looks brilliant However it won't look the same if built in a high density housing estate. The real estate and landscaping makes a huge difference.
My neighborhood has 60 homes, built around a greenbelt! So, the end houses have no neighbors, at least on one side or even behind them (backed up to the greenbelt ) They are lucky, I agree!
@@sandysimmer1279 this is an excellent alternative to tiny houses. Lot size would be much cheaper. Anyway to include laundry inside? For cooler inclines?
@@spiritofanu3112 Guest bathroom can become the laundry area. Who would expect two bathrooms in such a tiny house? Yet, most everyone wants a laundry area inside.
Washer and Dryer outside? Eventually the elements would rust and ruin appliances, don't you think? Otherwise, beautifully thought out and designed home!
It is a beautiful looking house, but the master bedroom needs more space and a walk-in closet. Plus, the laundry should be indoors so the washer and dryer don't get ruined.
The first truly elegant small design I've seen. Surely this is as much house as most of us need. Lot size: perfect. Let's assume energy efficiency, as well.
Beautiful 😍 bungalow but my concern is the design of the roof. It's very flat and it will hold the rain 🌧. Not good. You need a roof that allows the rain to flow off of it.
Its gutter system is concealed mam, it still has gutter... Make sure lang na matibay ang pipings na gagamitin at well sraled para iwas tagas mas magastos kasi magleleak agad sa bahay... At number one marunong ang magkakabit ngbtanyang style ng roofing 😀
Modern homes in most of the Asia-Pacific region are made of concrete, not wood. In the tropics, it can rain for sometime and easily evaporate when the sun comes up and heats the concrete, evaporating remaining rain water.
Great design and love this simple layout but I would prefer the laundry area to be part of the house not outside as designed...this home wouldn't work as is in the northeastern USA
It gives the impression of being spacious but then imagine it being surrounded by other houses possibly double storeys on tiny blocks and suddenly you’ll be feeling pretty boxed in. It’s very deceptive in that the house in this video is merely surrounded by parkland.
Lovely but I feel like I want to push all the walls out a bit to give more space. I am not very minamilist which I know is popular these days but I would prefer more space.
Nice looking design. My three problems with it are no bath tub in master bathroom, in the living room the couch and TV placement puts the people's back to the front of the house so you can't see what's going on in the front of the house without turning your head around, so you can't see people coming up to your door, and lastly, grass against the house and walls so you can't mow it with a lawn mower, but have to either hand clip it or use a weed eater, which will damage the walls.
I have a feeling bathtubs are going out of style. As the population ages they become a hinderance and a danger, especially when people use walkers, canes etc. The water used for baths will be cost prohibitive. I see us heading for a shower society, which is not bad. It took some getting used to the idea when first presented to me, but I can see where the advantages will overcome the disadvantages in years to come. My spouse and I play to build our own design and no tubs only showers. VERY nice catch on the grass against the house. That escaped me, but I have seen it in RL and it does tearing up the walls. Costly damage.
@@uselesscause3178 well, try this, if you still have a bath tub. Put the plug in the drain, take a shower, and see how much water you used as compared to a soak in the tub. You will be surprised at the results.
A little claustrophobic, but I still like it. I see a few changes needing to be made. Then I saw how the laundry part was done....out in the back, in the open? Um....So this only exists where there's great weather all year, every day?
The walls on each side are an excellent idea for small lots and houses close together, to keep the noise down, privacy, and generally keeping it neighborly.
Lovely small home design., definitely the way to go, as a start up or a down-sizer. I’m at the latter, and this would suit me fine. Very adaptable to one’s needs, as we all have different requirements. Great concept, good work 😊👍
Obviously a house for a tropical/warm area. Flat roof would collapse in northern snow. Some drawbacks: poor storage in bathrooms, table too big for kitchen. No storage for jackets, sporting goods, file cabinets. But the outdoor space is very clever, the light in the house is wonderful, the parking shelter is nice, and materials used are beautiful.
Well if you like living on top of each other maybe. But Im wondering where the utility closet is or the laundry room? lol This works as a guest house nothing more
Pretty design, but it's not very practical. No coat/shoe closet in "foyer", no dishwasher or microwave in kitchen, kitchen table is far too large (banquette seating with a round table is more practical). Almost no storage in the wall-mounted sink cabinets, plus there should be recessed medicine cabinets. One desk for 2 children? Not workable. Put in a pocket door and there will be room for another table/desk. No issues with the MBR.
The master bed and bath felt like a hotel room. No bathtubs are a deal-breaker for me. I'm wondering, is anyone really living that minimalistic? It appears you'd either be continually wishing you had more space or living for "show" by everything being exactly so. I know this is a concept and can be modified but there's only so much tweaking one can do. Just seems too sterile. Pretty, shiny and new but bang your shins on that coffee table a few hundred times and see what you think lol
I like the whole tiny home movement thing. A roof over your head in a safe neighborhood. My guess would be, between 3d printing and robotics it won't be long before everyone can have one.
A lot of things missing in this house that would help to make it convenient.inadequate cabinet space and work surfaces in the kitchen. no closet’s in the bedrooms,the outside washing area. You would get quickly very tired of that.The surface charm can not compensate for that.
Great rendering, I loved it! There are several things I'd change (like a divider wall between the carport and the lanai--nobody wants to look at a car butt while having coffee) and the lack of closets (clean design is one thing, but we all have "stuff" we need to hide), washer/dryer _inside,_ please, plus a larger outdoor sink/play area. LOVED that it's all on one floor, walk in shower areas, clean lines and look without feeling "cold," the exterior "curb appeal" is great, and that privacy wall is fantastic! With a few tweaks you really could have something amazing. Wish something like that could be built here in Texas!
The divider wall between the car port and lanai could accommodate a storage cabinet to quickly round-up otherwise the inevitable gear adrift which in a busy household will happen!
It would cost a million dollars to get a building contractor to even answer the phone and they're still going to try and bleed you for every penny while they do lousy work. It's next to impossible to get a modest house built in the United States because our construction industry is so corrupt.
Smaller table in dining room, really like the modern touches in these designs. Updated lighting is nice. Just wondering about the flat roof & if there is enough pitch to divert rain.
2:00 Вы когда вдом заходите в дождь, вы обувь сразу в гостинной под дивани засовываете в глине и земле? Или как? Научитесь делать прихожие тамбуры в своих проектах.
These flat roofs seem impractical in a tropical country with so much rain. Do these architects have provisions for the rain? These types of homes are better in the desert. Also the Master Bedroom should be at the back more privacy and less street noise.
Very little outside space.. this is good for a single person or married couple with one child.. the outside laundry space is totally off.. I'm sure some days will be rainy.. laundry still has to get done.. no backyard space..for barbecuing or guest.. no grass or trees.. just perfect for one person really .
this channel is really INTERESTING! somehow, RU-vid recommended me to watch this. I'm a Bloxburg player, from the game called Roblox. I can copy this house idea to build my house in there. TYSM!
The one thing I now know for sure I want in my house is an entry way that won't allow a person at my front door see all the way into my house. Also that house doesn't have near enough storage for a family. It all looks so neat & tidy because no one really lives there ! ☺
Beautiful as always! I do have a question - is there space, or are they included in the design, for a dishwasher and laundry machines, at least stackable?? Thank you!
Also, why is there a separate water filter in the kitchen rather than a house filtration system?? Can you tell these questions are coming from an American?? LOL!!
I'm 58 years old and an empty nester.This would be perfect for me.The extra bedroom would be my guest/ craft room.I especially like the lack of neighbors!😂
Actually if you combined the bathrooms to make one big bathroom the place would be a whole lot better. Since it be situated between the 2 bed rooms it only needs 1 door in the hall and that frees wall space in the bedrooms and the house would accessible to the bathroom without risk to the bedrooms.
