Stunning Tiny House with Smart Detachable Trailer Design - Full Tour

In this video we’re checking out The Nest: a beautiful minimalist tiny house that’s 23 feet long and 10 feet wide. At 230 square feet, it was designed for 1 or 2 people to live in, and what’s really unique about it is that it can easily be attached and detached from a trailer which offers several advantages over a traditional tiny house on wheels: it means you don't have to build around wheel wells, it saves money because the foundation system is a third of the cost of a trailer, and it makes the tiny house more durable because the trailer is the part that could rust or need replacing before the other building materials do.
One of the goals with this tiny house was to make it feel open and spacious, so there is no loft or bedroom in this house, instead they have a large couch that doubles as a bed, and can be extended into a Queen-size bed if two people live here. The couch has storage for the bedding inside it, so the bed can be quickly made up and put away each day.
It has a surprising amount of storage with the full sized closet and lots of kitchen cabinets and drawers. It also has a flex space that could be a desk or a dining table, and a very spacious bathroom at the back.
The home is heated with an in-floor heating system, and it has a ceiling fan and plenty of windows to circulate air. There is also room to add a ductless mini split for A/C if someone wanted to add that in.

I’ve spent many hours watching Tiny Home tours, and this by far is the best one I’ve seen. Good size kitchen, love the bed/living room, bathroom is a great size, love the closet space and washer/dryer combo placement, the windows, and that tv. Only thing, I’d put an AC in there, but other than that, this tiny home is perfect. Also, that floor heating? Truly makes it better.

@ranmakuro 3 года назад

That was the part when he got me. Some ppl built these tiny homes to sell them as you would say for pleasure, but with no real impact. In this case it really has an impact. I just saw videos about homeless ppl in Seattle and I think for some such a tiny home would also fit for a while to come back on their own feet.

Rv Parks are not built for 10" wide trailers - they are crammed so tightly together it is not as nice as you might think. The one floor is great for seniors. Better to have a piece of land to put it on.

@dianelavoie6110 3 года назад

@@icturner23 If they were 10 ft longer a bedroom could be added with a closet. that would be enough for me. I would not want to convert a bed or crawl around in a loft.

@dianelavoie6110 3 года назад

@@kallasusort2986 Where I live the lot sizes are about 50 ft by 75 ft so a good size but none of the mobile home parks are accepting tiny houses. We are having a battle with the district because we can't live in an RV on our own property and a "house" must be over 1,000 sf. So a tiny house that is not on wheels will still not qualify as a house and is not a legal residence. Temporary frustration but we will get there.

@sandrakleiserblack5140 3 года назад

I was thinking how clever and thoughtful this design and build are and then he starts talking about it being a prototype and the non-profit. Then, the color scheme and now, I'm crying.....over a tiny house! This is a first. The couch design is perfect for this unit, and those extra large drawers are far less obtrusive than twice as many smaller ones would be in the same space. Floor heating is awesome and the air circulation unit is something that seems lacking in many other tiny homes. Here's a challenge for you.....design a home that is handicapped accessible with a bedroom on the first floor, plus two loft bedrooms. I know a Murphy bed will have to be part of this design, but wonder what else could make this happen. Great job!!!

@1982MCI 3 года назад

There are already designs out there that have the same design as what your describing and can easily be built but you will end up with a unit that is a good bit bigger of course and is going to drive the cost up a good bit higher but it can easily be built in that configuration

@tinekejoldersma 3 года назад

It's a beautiful house, I know from experience the bed will be made and only when visitors come, turn into a couch. And sleeping couches are always less than a bed. Even with a topper, it won't sleep the way a bed does. Perhaps with a bed you raise to the ceiling, and a normal couch underneath, perhaps a murphy bed it will be the perfect little house.

@jmk1962 3 года назад

Agree. There are some amazing Murphy beds now that also have a desk feature so killing two functions in one built in unit would work well in this home.

@estherstrategicadvisor749 3 года назад

I agree. A Murphy bed is the first thing that came to mind as a more efficient use of space.

@annettefournier9655 3 года назад

Yes. Put the desk where that useless sofa bed is. They break down in less than a year and are very uncomfortable. Put a Murphy bed sofa combo in instead. Using a couch and using it also for a bed breaks down the surface quickly. Then you have neither a comfortable place to sleep or sit. Otherwise nice design. Perfect for one.

Really interesting about the hydronic floor heating and bacteria. Note to future-self! Great video :)

@sherrydee7880 3 года назад

I need something like this in an 8 foot width to put in the backyard. It has everything I need! And to the people who are saying they don't want to make the bed everyday....install a sideways Murphy Bed or just forget the sofa and leave it as a bed with a few storage nooks to stuff your bedding into for a quick clean-up! That closet is almost big enough to put a bed into!

This tiny house is practically perfect. Especially the design of not having to move stuff to get to stuff. The heated floor is a definite win in my book too! I also appreciate that the sleeping area isn't a loft. I'm not a fan of those. I think this house was beautifully designed. I would be perfectly happy living in it for the rest of my days.

@commonsensepatriot9450 Год назад

This is my favorite by far. Everything you need and nothing that you don't. I agree that using cooktops instead of a built in stove top is the way to go. Love it!

I owned that sofa/bed from Ikea and I must say is the worst bed I ever slept in my whole life. It is NOT a good option as a bed, or as a sofa because in a couple of weeks of use, the foam will start sinking.

@Cosmicgrrl 3 года назад

Very true! Futon couches are the worst for long term sleeping arrangements

@davidfuller764 3 года назад

Except for that, how’d you like the ikea sofa/bed.

@1982MCI 3 года назад

There are so many other options that you could apply there tho in that space to accomplish the same goal, it will just cost a bit more is all. I don’t care for any of ikeas products that I’ve seen so far anyways. They all seem to be manufactured as cheaply as possible and they seem to cut corners everywhere in order to cut costs. Spend more money upfront and you’ll be much happier, otherwise you’ll be spending more in a year or two to upgrade anyways

@uhpenyen4291 3 года назад

It looks like it has to be whacked periodically to keep it from sinking. Since you used to own one, you must have done it already.
