I'm really excited about this weeks video. 😊 I'm so passionate about regenerative architecture and our ability to make a positive impact on the world through good design and it's wonderful to see so many regenerative design principles incorporated into this house. I hope you all enjoy this tiny house tour. Thanks to all for watching! With love, Bryce & Rasa
I want to UNDERSTAND ALL about building a 🏡 loke this. HOW can I LEARN THIS PLEASE. DIRECT ME with THIS INFORMATION. THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU0 SHALOM🔯🀄🌹🌹🌷🍄CHOW👍
@@richardeidemiller6739 I agree totally. No need for so much negativity using mean spirited opinions. What have these nay sayers ever accomplished so the rest of us who choose to add our voices to, could speak kindly or not at all toward their creations or relationships. Bryce and Rasa have a channel to be proud of and it's positivity starts our weekend on such an enjoyable note. The comments below do not reflect the majority...
I wonder if there's a correlation between positivity and tiny house. The people behind these masterpieces are some of the most artistic and colorful people I've ever seen on youtube.
I think a lot of it is living authentically. This is something they are passionate about, something that feeds their soul and fulfills them. Your house may be bigger than theirs, but if you can live your passion, I bet you can find some of this spirit within yourself too.
I like watching the different styles of houses. Some I love and some I dont, but it is helpful to learn what I like and what I need. I would like some info on insulation. I want mine to be so good that when I fart, the house is warm!
"Every building should be built the way a flower exists in its place- it should be rooted in place, it should collect the water that falls on it, it should collect and use only the sun that falls on it; it should provide beauty and use while it's in existence, and it should have a plan for its recycling when it's all done."
Learned so many keywords of bio friendly techniques - biophilic design, biomimicry design, Aquaponics, permaculture. Thanks for this video 🙏🏼 , loved couple’s enthusiasm to experiment
@chowe9, I like your comment, but recycle is the 3rd best of 3 choices. The saying goes: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. So a plan to reuse is even better! Recycling takes a lot of energy and fuel (pollution) is involved. I wish companies would take back old products (voluntarily) and replace the inner parts with their new, improved product to sell. Imagine all the outer shells never making it to the landfill, like home air filters, microwave ovens, etc.
Everytime he calls it "My house " she looks at him, and I wonder that it's not "their house". And that he's the only one talking for the first several minutes. I hope she gets to talk soon.
If it were us, I would’ve been speaking even though my husband would’ve built it. He’s shy, I’m not. Having said that, we would’ve discussed everything because if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy 😂
@@EvilChibiIggyII Awwww, Pumpkin. Do you feel better, now? For the record, he said "my" enough times to cause several people to comment on it. So, nope I'm not deaf. 😉
Yes, meee too.. I love the way that he described his progression to consuming less and less, and how he is learning to wen himself off of buying altogether, even from good will.
Same issue here, having grown up in an extremely old farmhous with wooden doors splitting from age, my room next to my parents, that was already way tmi, but without walls and doors, on the same hight, wouldn't wanna be the daughter.
@@nevendumont I believe it is far too steep. You only need an inch to make water flow a mile with no added energy. If they get a huge rain event... most of what is on the roof will be on the ground. The man obviously love big curves and lacks a bit of commonsense.
I generally love this channel. But, I felt these people do not actually live, full time, in this house. Yes, the man has his passions but there is a kind of fakery about the living set up.
Except for those with walkers and wheelchairs. I love watching the beautiful small houses on this channel, but it honestly frightens me as well. I can't even get inside, but if I could I wouldn't get further than the hallway. It seems like a beautiful life, but unfortunately it's not for everyone.
No thanks. I don't need a 5000 sf home, but I don't need to be rubbing shoulders and not have space for my craft supplies, canning, etc. There's plenty of room in the world anyway. Stop comparing "the world" with overcrowded metropolitan cities.
"living roof" has been there, done that by many people a long time ago. All they ended up with is mold in the ceilings and leaking roof. Not sure how this design is that much different from before.
I really appreciate the knowledge Walker has and that he shared it with us. I'm rather surprised as all the harsh comments. We don't know their personal arrangement, so why are people making so many judgemental comments? It appears he's walking his talk by building this fantastic 'biophilic design' tiny home. I for one enjoyed LEARNING some new, and I think quite important things in this episode. You're a class act Bryce. I love your and Rasa's channel so much. Thank you for another great upload!
People commented that hes annoying or narcissist i didnt see it in him hes just excited to talk and i often hear him saying the qord "we" not "i" as what a lot of people here saying.
Well, was difficult to watch. The husband was very self centered. Though great job n ideas. It was irritating how uncomfortable she was, that was obvious. She really had some great designs, but then again he took over! All in all, I could not doo this, too much money. A garden on the roof also did not inspire me, and getting up to it. I do love the show!
That is a great house and you can feel his passion in his words. This channel has given me so many ideas for my tiny house build next year I don't know where to start I want to incorporate all of them in one house.
A unique home! You can tell he's excited and passionate and proud about the final result, as he should be, and she was too, though softer about it (likely due to being on camera). It sounds like he had an epiphany and followed his heart. I absolutely enjoyed their presentation. I loved how they both incorporated their ideas and went on this journey together and with the daughter. Some parts that were more 'in the know' flew over my head, but that's alright, it only made me more intrigued and the entire video was engaging to listen to and watch and had me reflective. Beautiful home with much thought into all the fine details and symbolism and philosophy made reality. My thanks and appreciation for the video.
I enjoyed their creativity and unique style as well. Reading the comments actually hurt me how some people are negative and don't see the effort of this life project. I loved it and liked their passion as well, I even shared it to a good friend that's like-minded.
@@maryhender1783 I completely empathize. I was of the honest opinion that the grand majority were reacting primally from not grasping terminology and lashing out from this "perceived attack" at their intelligence. Ridiculous yes, but it only served to show their own underbelly so to speak. It is their internal issue from the varying degrees of humbling experienced, which was of course not at all his intention and he meant no harm or ill will, but I hope he and his love will grace this channel again one day, because I absolutely enjoyed myself. He was very precise in explanations and thorough, so respectful of his love and never once interrupted her when she spoke, and so proud and excited, I was happy to have the opportunity to be present to watch and felt like I was learning from a more knowledgeable person.
Noticed on a few of these videos of late that the couple seems off step with one another. We are one partner, the gentleman in this video says me and I all the time but never way. She keeps her hands in her pockets a lot and tries to say we but it’s clearly him him him
Love Bryce’s videos but I couldn’t watch this one after the first 5 minutes because of the nonstop “I, my,” If Bryce finds himself in this situation again, maybe he could address specific questions to the other partner. Jeez, the man was insufferable.
BTW, Farmer's Almanac says this will be the coldest winter on many records east of the Rockies this year...ego-man just said since all the winters are so warm ...
Pretty design but not enough storage and that low ceiling in their bedroom would drive me nuts! Also he is SO rude he hardly stop talking to let Heather speak
I find it hilariously annoying that he speaks all about environmentally friendly and conscious but his goal is to keep the big 5 bedroom house that doesn't "function like a flower" to keep the money coming in. 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Lisa Starr - The following was posted by another commentator and made me think plus revise my initial opinion. At first I kind of agreed with comments that called out the man, Walker, and his demeanor, but then I watched the video more. He listened carefully to his partner, Heather, when she did speak and did not interrupt. I had the sense she felt fine to speak whenever she wanted to, but her partner's interests were not her own. She doesn't look happy, but I don't see there's any indication of the reason why (and I don't know how anyone can say, based on a short video, that just because she seems unhappy, she MUST be unhappy-maybe she's nervous or tired). I feel it's irresponsible for people to cast aspersions based on the video. I'm also sort of sad about it; this man was excited to share information with viewers, and many of the viewers here responded with judgment and insults. Look, Walker seems thoughtful and passionate. He has obviously read much about biophilic design and biomimicry, areas of inquiry not far afield of his career, according to what he himself said. Have Americans-and I don't know, maybe the commenters here are not American, but we seem the rudest bunch of people online-tumbled so low into disinformation and ignorance that we take erudition and passion for knowledge to be imperiousness and enjoying the sound of one's own voice? Do we devalue erudition so much (perhaps feel threatened by it), that we'll just dump a bunch of insulting comments and not take responsibility for our own issues? Yes, sometimes, on YT especially, there are rude men who seem domineering for the sake of being domineering, but I don't see that here. And there are gentler ways of saying things, especially on a channel that does so much to bring positivity into the world. This channel always feels to me a space where its interviewers can expect to be treated well, so when they are not, it's especially disheartening.
He's explaining the design of the house. Like he said, everything was thought through in the design. He is proud of his house, if you don't like people talking about their houses why do you watch?
That's nothing to do with fibonacci, just a random curve, and nature does do straight, the trees behind the house are straight up. And where is the golden ratio in that? Looks like a nice house, they ruin it buy spouting all that bullshit. It's a nice little house, just tell use about the features and comforts.
He talked so long and said “me, my mine” so much that I actually looked at the exact minute when his partner was able to talk again after the initial introductions. 6:14.
I love how they delved into their design process. They were so intentional with this. The home really captured the essence of a leaf/nature. Also, the living roof! So glad they took the chance on that:) the interior of the ceiling is like a work of art. 😍 even with the curved roof, they have plenty of headspace! Such a beautiful home.
Im so happy this is my favorite tiny house. I am studying Sustainability with a concentration in Biomimicry, and Biophilic Design is one of my favorite things!
"I", "my", "me"... Very egocentric and their non verbal communication tells me she isn't happy there. The tiny house is lovely, but just got very negative vibes from this guy.
I very much agree. As much as I loved the outside look of the house and design, I spent the rest of the time monitoring their body language, with the sound on mute - which is a first with Bryce's videos. It was a struggle to listen to. He is not the first tiny houser to build an eco-friendly, sustainable, permaculture tiny home out of recycled materials. Just everyone else interviewed who did are far less braggy. Nice house but...
B Lozano V - The following was posted by another commentator and made think plus revise my initial opinion. The last paragraph should be read taken to heart by those posters who were nasty to vicious (you appear to be judgemental about the partner but were not nasty).

All these negative comments about this couple, particularly him. He just comes off as very passionate about his home to me. He might talk more but I never once saw him speak over his wife or Bryce. Passion is a good thing 🖤
I don’t understand all the negative comments about this couple. He’s just very passionate, and proud, and I suspect the house was his project. It’s beautifully designed and I personally love all the environmental considerations. Nice job 👍🏻 Bryce, once again, is so classy and does such a great job with interviewing. Thanks for another great episode.
@MegaJman72, but some people do the opposite. It can be cruel to act like they are headed toward proposing, let's say, if they aren't there yet., or even don't want to ever get that serious. When it comes to building something, it's good to let the other person know if their investment of money or time in the project is pretty risky, or if you intend on being with them long-term/marrying. Just my two cents.
MegaJman72 He’s not dominant he’s just well versed in the alternative living. My partner is an engineer & knows a whole lot more about environmental sustainability than I do. I would have never considered some of the building practices he’s implemented since losing his home in the Tubbs fire in Oct 2017. He gets giddy as a schoolboy talking about it, much like this gentleman. On the other hand I picked out the vanity, faucets, bathtub, appliances, flooring, etc. which I enjoy.
@@HandbagDiva Alright, pinkyt67! So well said. Thanks! Thanks, Bryce and Rasa, for finding this home so full of interest and possibilities. Gorgeous. And thanks for putting up with so many who think rudeness and foul language are actually informed opinions. Best to you both.
i dont get the hate to the guy either, clearly he had a vision he brought it to life the guy is happy and excited to share his knowledge, his passion for the environment , people hating on this guy for no sensible reason
@@joebryant8500 Please don't diagnose someone you don't know based on 16 minutes of screen time. Even if you think you recognize the symptoms. Diagnosis should ONLY ever be made by professional licensed psychiatrists.
@@louibeans You know some psychologist and psychiatrics are sociopath, abuser, violent or even murderer, even id they have a ph.d. School doesnt make you more intelligent, it makes you learn some information on certain subject, but nothing replace common sense and intuition. If you knew intimately psychologist and psychiatrics you'd quickly relalise that they are not smarter, have flawed judgements, weakness, false perceptions from time to time and fears, just like everybody else.
SigmaSharp right? he’s got a good message ...but he strikes me as a recovering corporate shill. You can hear it in his tone. His wife? Seems like an accessory instead of a mate. Odd.
That’s not really his wife... she was a model placed there to pose as his wife so he wouldn’t come across as the sad lonely self-obsessed loser that he really is.
Very nice tiny house. I gotta say though, we watched this as a family and all of us noticed that we never heard this many me me me I I I in a video like this.
I love this home and I appreciate everyone's comments. My take is that Bryce spent time with them before the interview (you all must realize that they didn't first meet the minute the camera started rolling.) Anyway, his passion showed and he was very articulate in walking through the process and explaining his decisions. She seemed happy about the project and was just willing to let him have the opportunity to show off his work. Some people (and by "some people" I mean me) are just not comfortable in front of a camera. Anyway, I feel like I can't judge a relationship on a 16 minute video....
Lisa, yes on all your points. Nice to have some adults in the room. -And by adults, I mean people who can listen to-or watch-the video without spewing knee-jerk hate and meanness as opinion. We're guests on Bruce and Rasa's channel. They do great work.
So true, people are full of judgements and criticisms, always want to look for the bad, ugly & negative, how do they know if she's unhappy, are they in her head??
I think what annoye me the most is he's always talking how HE wanted it to be his house. His partner can be shy or maybe she didn't want to talk and that's fine but the fact that he said 'I wanted' all the time instead of 'we wanted' makes him look bad.
Agree. Perhaps the host asked for on of them to be the spokesperson for the couple and the man who was perhaps most knowledgeable and passionate about it agreed to do so. She spoke up when she had something to say.
This is such an important tiny house and occupants. People who understand about sustainability, and how to design their home and surroundings around that. Not only so that they have a future, but also that so many urban dwellers could do too if there was the initiative to do it. It is so vital that we listen to the message from people like this, adopt their ideas into our homes and surroundings, in order to steer ourselves and the planet in the right direction. Let's wish this couple every success in getting their message across !
i know a lot of people like to criticise the people on camera but you know not everyone is comfortable on camera so forgive them if they don’t speak as casually or forget a few details
Sushiyrolls I don't know if the couple will agree to show us anymore of their place since SO MANY REALLY NEGATIVE comments were posted about him. The worst ones were removed. Such a shame to post such things when Rasa & Bryce are so nice to continue to show us a beautiful place every Friday! THANK YOU RASA & BRYCE! WE ALL LOVE YOU ❤️
Reading these comments, wow. I must say that after living in the US for a while I noticed how sensitive Americans are. Everything needs to pass through many filters and everything is picked and analyzed. Ughh, so tiring.
Yes! And everything is “racist.” You can criticize a religion, religious belief, geographical location, political party, political platform, or even someone being of an unhealthy weight and they call it, “racist”!
He did talk a lot and he did say "I, me, my" a lot, but I wouldn't interpret it as egocentric. I think he's just very passionate about design and this must have been a project that he was really invested into, and his spouse seemed to just let him talk because he was the architect behind it. There are loads of other videos in which, if it's a male-female couple, the woman is the one that does most of the talking, because she's the one who thought out more about the functionality or the sustainability or the aesthetic of the design, and the man just stands by quietly, and that's fine too. Also, it could be that she talked a lot more in the original recording, but when they edited the video they needed to keep to the time constrain, and perhaps because he talked more about the purpose behind the design, maybe more of the things that she said were left out...? People are so quick to judge.
I agree I was just surprised in the first few minutes when he said 'I', 'me', 'mine' so often instead of 'we', 'us' ect. Maybe she'll just stay in the big house and send him to the tiny house :)
Can we have the lady do the kitchen and bath and the guy does the outside, power, living room and wood specifics? Even if the partner didn't help or came "after" the build, its cringy to watch one "partner" go on and on and on and on.........

She did participate in the conversation and at times her partner said "they" as she said " I like light" etc. What alternative universe are you viewing from? He is proud and passionate but what have his criitics done?! Let's see his critic's experimental home design!
@@ABCurry30 you would not agree with yourself. Do not speak like that, you do not seem intellectually sharp, from whatever point of view. Your own doesn't come at a cost, it seems. What means you are a target for what you fear. And you do, you are tired of not agreeing with things to end.
I always wanted to have a house with doors and large glass windows and when I looked out I saw a peaceful view of the forest. I'm just bored with city life, noisy.
Concrete jungles are cities, dominant creature is human, most hostile creature there is also the human, aren't cities wonderful?... Northwestern forests(jungles) you still have to worry about humans but also bears and now wolves (reintroduced and killing off even bears... remember wolves get as big as a young cow, so imagine a cow with fast*er* legs and sharp teeth for the better to eat us with and The Forestry thinks it's doing good.......... excuses for money and keep getting money even after the initial work
@@nightfury1591 get a good knife(good knife respect) since the only guns are ones you make (and you're doing well/great if you manage a single shot gun) learning to fight/kill is like playing rough but too rough, it's actually easily done, so easy people do it by mistake (tragic when misused)
Deep. We sleepwalk through life doing things the way they've always been done...and then we find Bryce and Rasa and they show us a different future that is now!
Yes It might be a bit up there. When you have a design like that using the least toxic materials and all the curves in the design, Not being able to use standard building technique with a lot of custom work. The labor on a build like that is really high.
The guy seemed like an egotistical a-hole. Jesus. Nice tiny house. Although it seems too cramped and too much 💰 was dumped into it for it to be that cramped. I understand tiny houses are meant to be within a square footage, but not my favorite lay out. I guess as long as they're happy. Oh wait I meant as long as HE'S happy. 😂 Cheers!
@@SynthhInHD It's not so much about having pride in the project as it was about how he kept bringing up climate change and how in tune he is with it. He came across as an extremely virtue signaling individual, not to mention, he talked way too much -- more than a professional sales person, which is kinda crazy. He also sounded extremely pretentious about what amounts to trailer park living. However, that seems to be a general trend with tiny house folks. They're kinda like vegans. They get too self absorbed with the lifestyle and talk about all the amazing things it does, as if they're trying to convince themselves, more than anyone else. Perhaps you shouldn't take other people's personal opinions to heart so much, especially online? Just a thought.
This tiny home is one of the most beautiful ones I've seen tbh, however his personality is so off putting. The white privilege jumped out! LOL "He" does have good taste though, & I really appreciate your appreciation for architecture, (LOL) also how wonderfully nice you are. 😁
What? How is caring about the environment have anything to do with race? I'm not white and I am very passionate about all of these things. You try to dish on white people and actually end up offending people who are not white but also like this lifestyle.
OMG, this guy knows a lot about what "we" should be doing. Quite the preacher. So annoyed by the owner, I can't like the house! Wonderful filming of the space, as usual.
Walker must do this on a larger scale. I love how much thought he has put into every bit of the construction and development of the house and the area. Great house, excellent video. Thanks for this, Bryce. 😍😘🤗
Better than speaking for each other. They were speaking to their wants as individuals as to what was important to each of them. He had wants she had wants and "we" accomplished them together.
Hellzap0ppin Same. I'm addicted to reading all! RUclips needs to let us mark where we left off & take a break so we can go watch Bryce & Rasa's other videos! I'm going crazy here. Also, reading puts me to sleep when I'm soooooo tired 😴
Americans always take the term "hygge" and make it this grand thing, literally it's just an everyday term for having a nice time. Grabbing a coffee or a beer with a friend can be hygge. Being lazy, watching a movie. Having a chat with someone. Yes, purposely creating a cozy atmosphere can be hygge too, but "the art of cozy" sounds so pretentious lmao, if you hang out with people you like it's automatically "hygge"
This! Now that Scandinavian culture has become trendy it’s weird hearing other cultures co-opt it and sound pretentious. Aspects of Scandinavian culture can definitely be pretentious- some Danes are total snobs about fashion and design. But hygge is the opposite of pretentious- it’s enjoying little moments with loved ones, cozy lightheartedness, perhaps indulging in a little something yummy to eat or drink. It’s cool that she’s inspired by it, but it’s more about how you act than how you decorate your home, and this couple definitely don’t give off a hyggelig vibe. They seem like they have a lot to prove. Also, if you want to get into the Scandi lifestyle, stop wearing your dirty shoes in the house! Keep some slippers by the door and offer them to your guests- that’s hygge.
Yes, it always seems a bit strange when hygge becomes a concept, when it's really just more like a feeling :) And please, Americans, it's "hygge" with a "y", like in "hymn", not "hoogaa"
Femiluv After a couple lives together 7 years, they are automatically legally married in the United States. I doubt this couple has been together that long.
I think its kinda unfair to judge their relationship off one video. And the comments of the dude being annoying and talking a lot? God forbid someone have some passion about something! Chill out dudes
@@aljoy9069 Because ofcourse you know he's an asshole from your extensive personal relation you have with him, and not just because you don't like someone talking passionately on the internet and feel the need to be an edgelord
HcFateFan You don’t have to know someone personally to know that personality type. Maybe you’ll get it when you’re older and actually have some life experience. Anyone who monopolizes the attention and doesn’t let their partner speak up is an asshole, just like Mr Joy said.
@Sharon G, watch again. Was he perfect? No, but was both respectful and supportive as she spoke. He made eye contact with her, smiled, and nodded in agreement. Could he have used the words "I" and "my" less. Sure, but we know next to nothing about these two people. Unfair to judge based on one tiny slice of their life. Besides, that's not what the video or this channel is for.
It always amazes me that people can make such definitive statement about someone after watching a 15 minute video. Time some of you negative nancys put your energy into positive thought, you never know you just might be a little bit happier for it :)
I see a lot of complaints about the owner, but I see someone passionate about his project. I'm happy the wife is supporting her spouse. And she help design the house. He is the technological knowledge and he was eager to share. I loved to learn more.
Love, love, love this house! Especially love that "aspen" tile wall in the bathroom. I used to live in Winnipeg, close to the Assiniboine Forest, which is full of aspen trees, and I can totally see the aspen trees in that tile wall. Makes me miss my daily walks there.
Those who challenge with new ways of thinking will often annoy others with closed minds. I loved the concept of imitating nature, and think this place is really special. Ok, it cost a lot, but often prototype does. So many aspects here that have inspired me. Thanks for showing this!
I am about as open regarding tiny houses as one can get and this guy was just too into himself to listen to. If he's not a narcissist, he will come and see these comments and say "wow, I sound like a dick."
It's a beautiful design! I love that so many more people are thinking about their impact on the environment. It's insane that we use clean drinking water to wash our human waste down the toilet and collect it all when it could simply be composted.
The reason I love watching these videos is not just because of the houses but also the kind of life principles that come as takeaway from the home owners. So beautiful to see these tiny home with mindful conservation of the earth’s resources
I find this to be a little too impractical, especially for a tiny house, but I admire their courage, dedication and passion towards nature. Good show Bryce.
Some builds need to be more on the impractical side to push the boundaries of what's possible! All forward movement starts as an experiment. I wanted to put a green roof on my tiny house, but found it wasn't possible with the weight limitations in New Zealand. It's exciting for me to see this one!
Roadiemort If a person lives in a large house and then realizes it better to downsize and leave less of a footprint, so they rent out their larger house instead of selling it, you have a problem with that? The big house is already there. Some people watching the small and tiny house videos will decide to also downsize. My son wants to buy his first house to be a tiny house some day when he works and saves to pay cash since he does not believe in going into debt. I have decided to downsize also.
Very cool and unique home and couple. I love the wave of the roof line and the living roof. The inside is so beautiful-love the kitchen and bathroom. It was't a ton of square footage, but sure seemed like it was much bigger than they said. Just beautiful and I love the they are trying to make a difference on the environment. I'm not a city gal at all, a country bumpkin-so this home would be beautiful look out over a forest or fields.
"I wanted", "I needed", "I...", "My...". I couldn't see her in that! He was constantly talking about himself - his ideas and needs. It is strange of how often did he talk about himself and how little did he use "us", "our", "we" pronouns. Despite the beauty of the house and considerate choices around it I wasn't able to see a space for her wants and needs, acctually. Maybe it is just an impression, but it made me quite concerned about her living in a tiny house despite not being very convinced to the project...
carolb801 - The following was posted by another commentator and made me think plus revise my initial opinion. At first I kind of agreed with comments that called out the man, Walker, and his demeanor, but then I watched the video more. He listened carefully to his partner, Heather, when she did speak and did not interrupt. I had the sense she felt fine to speak whenever she wanted to, but her partner's interests were not her own. She doesn't look happy, but I don't see there's any indication of the reason why (and I don't know how anyone can say, based on a short video, that just because she seems unhappy, she MUST be unhappy-maybe she's nervous or tired). I feel it's irresponsible for people to cast aspersions based on the video. I'm also sort of sad about it; this man was excited to share information with viewers, and many of the viewers here responded with judgment and insults. Look, Walker seems thoughtful and passionate. He has obviously read much about biophilic design and biomimicry, areas of inquiry not far afield of his career, according to what he himself said. Have Americans-and I don't know, maybe the commenters here are not American, but we seem the rudest bunch of people online-tumbled so low into disinformation and ignorance that we take erudition and passion for knowledge to be imperiousness and enjoying the sound of one's own voice? Do we devalue erudition so much (perhaps feel threatened by it), that we'll just dump a bunch of insulting comments and not take responsibility for our own issues? Yes, sometimes, on YT especially, there are rude men who seem domineering for the sake of being domineering, but I don't see that here. And there are gentler ways of saying things, especially on a channel that does so much to bring positivity into the world. This channel always feels to me a space where its interviewers can expect to be treated well, so when they are not, it's especially disheartening.
For everyone moaning about the guy talking so much and not giving his wife much credit for the project allow me to set it straight, This guy has worked very hard on this project and took so much time out of his days to have this fully realized, its not like hes getting paid for the project, he at least deserves the credit for the project.
I tried so hard to watch the entire video because I'm very interested in the owner's concepts and inspirations (+ whatever his poor wife was able to interject when he stopped for breath), but my god does he think highly of himself.
I'm really excited about this weeks video. 😊 I'm so passionate about regenerative architecture and our ability to make a positive impact on the world through good design and it's wonderful to see so many regenerative design principles incorporated into this house. I hope you all enjoy this tiny house tour. Thanks to all for watching! With love, Bryce & Rasa
I want to UNDERSTAND ALL about building a 🏡 loke this. HOW can I LEARN THIS PLEASE. DIRECT ME with THIS INFORMATION.
THANK YOU & GOD BLESS YOU0

I am sorry to see so many negative comments on this one, the couple
and even you. I thought it was a great house.
@@richardeidemiller6739 I agree totally. No need for so much negativity using mean spirited opinions. What have these nay sayers ever accomplished so the rest of us who choose to add our voices to, could speak kindly or not at all toward their creations or relationships. Bryce and Rasa have a channel to be proud of and it's positivity starts our weekend on such an enjoyable note. The comments below do not reflect the majority...
Good work bro. Love from Biafra West Africa
Very thoughtful that they've taken the health of the builders into consideration with this design.
I wonder if there's a correlation between positivity and tiny house. The people behind these masterpieces are some of the most artistic and colorful people I've ever seen on youtube.
Ronneil Cabrera the thrifty stitcher
I think a lot of it is living authentically. This is something they are passionate about, something that feeds their soul and fulfills them. Your house may be bigger than theirs, but if you can live your passion, I bet you can find some of this spirit within yourself too.
The new renaissance!!!
Walker- Totally impressive and inspirational. Congratulations on the path you are on. Hope to have my nest some day.
I like watching the different styles of houses. Some I love and some I dont, but it is helpful to learn what I like and what I need. I would like some info on insulation. I want mine to be so good that when I fart, the house is warm!
So good!
"Every building should be built the way a flower exists in its place- it should be rooted in place, it should collect the water that falls on it, it should collect and use only the sun that falls on it; it should provide beauty and use while it's in existence, and it should have a plan for its recycling when it's all done."
Love this!
Everything created by humans should begin with "a plan for its recycling when it's all done."

Learned so many keywords of bio friendly techniques - biophilic design, biomimicry design, Aquaponics, permaculture. Thanks for this video 🙏🏼 , loved couple’s enthusiasm to experiment
I loved this part. It makes sense and is beautiful.
@chowe9, I like your comment, but recycle is the 3rd best of 3 choices. The saying goes: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. So a plan to reuse is even better!
Recycling takes a lot of energy and fuel (pollution) is involved.
I wish companies would take back old products (voluntarily) and replace the inner parts with their new, improved product to sell.
Imagine all the outer shells never making it to the landfill, like home air filters, microwave ovens, etc.
I think Walker is just excited about the project, and Heather may be a little shy. Lots of armchair counselors in this comment section.
Maybe we just didnt like what we saw. To us it was more than just a 'project' it was peoples home and life.
Everytime he calls it "My house " she looks at him, and I wonder that it's not "their house". And that he's the only one talking for the first several minutes. I hope she gets to talk soon.
You took the words right out of my mouth! Is she involved, at all? At least from his perspective? I don't hear very many uses of the word "us".
@@GadsdenGal He said "Our" A Lot of times.. you're probably just deaf.
If it were us, I would’ve been speaking even though my husband would’ve built it. He’s shy, I’m not. Having said that, we would’ve discussed everything because if mama ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy 😂
I noticed that, too. A little irritating. Nicer when they are cohesive...not self centered...just sayin
@@EvilChibiIggyII Awwww, Pumpkin. Do you feel better, now? For the record, he said "my" enough times to cause several people to comment on it. So, nope I'm not deaf. 😉
I love the owners' passion about sustainable living.
fucking me too!!! very meaningful and sense-full
Yes, meee too.. I love the way that he described his progression to consuming less and less, and how he is learning to wen himself off of buying altogether, even from good will.
Love this eco-friendly house and all but.....I always have this question w/ people who have kids in these tiny houses. How do you have sex??
Yes!! Would someone please address this! How do you make it work?
Eva i thought i was the only one who thought about this 😂
Same issue here, having grown up in an extremely old farmhous with wooden doors splitting from age, my room next to my parents, that was already way tmi, but without walls and doors, on the same hight, wouldn't wanna be the daughter.
Nerdy0552 Sphinx - they live in the big house still, I’m sure the Tiny House is only used on weekends to go “camping” in their back yard.
@@dinglebarry528 At the moment maybe, but they clearly stated that renting out the big house and actually living in the tiny was the goal.
Yet another beautiful tiny home. Would love to see the roof when it is more established. Thanks Bryce and Rasa. I love your channel.
Yes, it would be great to see an update later on to see how they continue to foster growth through their project!
@@nevendumont I believe it is far too steep. You only need an inch to make water flow a mile with no added energy. If they get a huge rain event... most of what is on the roof will be on the ground. The man obviously love big curves and lacks a bit of commonsense.
Hey Lesley! Absolutely, it will be amazing to see this roof once it's more established.
Love the roof and the creative, eco-friendly design.
I found this challenging to watch. I lost count of how many times he said "I wanted" instead of we wanted.
I generally love this channel. But, I felt these people do not actually live, full time, in this house. Yes, the man has his passions but there is a kind of fakery about the living set up.
Imagine everybody in this world living in a tiny house.
Except for those with walkers and wheelchairs. I love watching the beautiful small houses on this channel, but it honestly frightens me as well. I can't even get inside, but if I could I wouldn't get further than the hallway. It seems like a beautiful life, but unfortunately it's not for everyone.
I would love to... but lofts with no side walls/barriers scare me! My children would roll out in their sleep! 😳
No thanks. I don't need a 5000 sf home, but I don't need to be rubbing shoulders and not have space for my craft supplies, canning, etc. There's plenty of room in the world anyway. Stop comparing "the world" with overcrowded metropolitan cities.
God, it would be so crowded!
There'll be no homeless anymore
I loved his design and the idea of a living roof. The "honeycomb" shelving in the loft was a really nice feature.
I was surprised the shelving was not mentioned. It looked interesting.
"living roof" has been there, done that by many people a long time ago. All they ended up with is mold in the ceilings and leaking roof. Not sure how this design is that much different from before.
I really appreciate the knowledge Walker has and that he shared it with us. I'm rather surprised as all the harsh comments. We don't know their personal arrangement, so why are people making so many judgemental comments? It appears he's walking his talk by building this fantastic 'biophilic design' tiny home. I for one enjoyed LEARNING some new, and I think quite important things in this episode. You're a class act Bryce. I love your and Rasa's channel so much. Thank you for another great upload!
Thanks so much for this comment. I'm really glad you enjoyed this video. :)

You were disappointed the bathroom was at the back of the kitchen. Where would you place it?
@@bkfacs I reckon it minimises the plumbing connections to have kitchen and bathroom in one line. That's normal enough in a Tiny Home.
People commented that hes annoying or narcissist i didnt see it in him hes just excited to talk and i often hear him saying the qord "we" not "i" as what a lot of people here saying.
agreed! it was so informative.
Sweetie, build another house and get out. He's probably a narcissist and it's hard to continue listening to a know it all. It's exhsuting. Do it asap.
Well, was difficult to watch. The husband was very self centered. Though great job n ideas. It was irritating how uncomfortable she was, that was obvious. She really had some great designs, but then again he took over! All in all, I could not doo this, too much money. A garden on the roof also did not inspire me, and getting up to it. I do love the show!
I feel the same as most, I could not finish this video. The guy kept on talking and it was all about him!!!
I said the same thing and I hadn't even read your comments. I always write my own first.
Same here…. I I I, me me me. Had to move on with this one.
That is a great house and you can feel his passion in his words. This channel has given me so many ideas for my tiny house build next year I don't know where to start I want to incorporate all of them in one house.
Cheers Kevin! Let us know how your tiny house build goes! All the best. :)
Follow your heart and that which makes you smile. Best of luck!! Can’t wait to see it on this channel.
A unique home! You can tell he's excited and passionate and proud about the final result, as he should be, and she was too, though softer about it (likely due to being on camera). It sounds like he had an epiphany and followed his heart. I absolutely enjoyed their presentation. I loved how they both incorporated their ideas and went on this journey together and with the daughter. Some parts that were more 'in the know' flew over my head, but that's alright, it only made me more intrigued and the entire video was engaging to listen to and watch and had me reflective. Beautiful home with much thought into all the fine details and symbolism and philosophy made reality. My thanks and appreciation for the video.
Thanks so much for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
I enjoyed their creativity and unique style as well. Reading the comments actually hurt me how some people are negative and don't see the effort of this life project. I loved it and liked their passion as well, I even shared it to a good friend that's like-minded.
@@maryhender1783 I completely empathize. I was of the honest opinion that the grand majority were reacting primally from not grasping terminology and lashing out from this "perceived attack" at their intelligence. Ridiculous yes, but it only served to show their own underbelly so to speak. It is their internal issue from the varying degrees of humbling experienced, which was of course not at all his intention and he meant no harm or ill will, but I hope he and his love will grace this channel again one day, because I absolutely enjoyed myself. He was very precise in explanations and thorough, so respectful of his love and never once interrupted her when she spoke, and so proud and excited, I was happy to have the opportunity to be present to watch and felt like I was learning from a more knowledgeable person.
I agree. Perfectly said great looking home. Very proud builder
Noticed on a few of these videos of late that the couple seems off step with one another. We are one partner, the gentleman in this video says me and I all the time but never way. She keeps her hands in her pockets a lot and tries to say we but it’s clearly him him him
Love Bryce’s videos but I couldn’t watch this one after the first 5 minutes because of the nonstop “I, my,” If Bryce finds himself in this situation again, maybe he could address specific questions to the other partner. Jeez, the man was insufferable.
BTW, Farmer's Almanac says this will be the coldest winter on many records east of the Rockies this year...ego-man just said since all the winters are so warm ...
THANK YOU!!!!!
Did this guy ever say "we"? He is so into himself.
Noticed that too.
I felt sorry for his lady.
Came to the comments to see if anyone else noticed.
I was thinking that too but then I started listening closely and he actually says we/us quite a bit.
Usually it's the other way around. The woman doesn't let the man speak. It's refreshing to see both in action.
Pretty design but not enough storage and that low ceiling in their bedroom would drive me nuts! Also he is SO rude he hardly stop talking to let Heather speak
Kelly U
What makes you think Heather wanted to speak? He had the most to say.
When she spoke, he didn't interrupt her.
I find it hilariously annoying that he speaks all about environmentally friendly and conscious but his goal is to keep the big 5 bedroom house that doesn't "function like a flower" to keep the money coming in. 🤦🏻♀️🙄
Agreed, + he was very obnoxious in general
There was a lot of 'I' and 'me' with that guy, with the very occasional 'we' thrown in.
I stopped watching midway through...he was obnoxious at best.
picked that up getting past the "I' and "me", this is a beautiful idea and they both executed a good model.
@@angiedefreitas5060 Me too! Unbearable.
Spot on
Beautiful home...but he's too much! He totally controlled the whole video...👎🏻

@@wendyweaver8749 Are you the guy's pr rep?
This guy likes to hear himself talk.
obviously it was his passion project and he’s excited about it. why be so cynical?
Katherine McChesney I think he is excited and pasionate about the project. I will stay out of the personal judgements.
@@ambylam the way he tells Bryce about the insulation being like a flower situation and how bryce should already know of it came off as snob like.
He's explaining the design of the house. Like he said, everything was thought through in the design. He is proud of his house, if you don't like people talking about their houses why do you watch?
That's nothing to do with fibonacci, just a random curve, and nature does do straight, the trees behind the house are straight up.
And where is the golden ratio in that?
Looks like a nice house, they ruin it buy spouting all that bullshit.
It's a nice little house, just tell use about the features and comforts.
He talked so long and said “me, my mine” so much that I actually looked at the exact minute when his partner was able to talk again after the initial introductions. 6:14.
Her silence spoke volumes when he mentioned his daughter...
I'm 1:40 in and she's talking...
A L I forgot to write again after the initial introductions. I’ll correct my post. LoL you win today yay
Sharon G I hope it’s just shyness
He loves to hear himself talking indeed :D
I love the concept of this house but i get a mixed feeling that this is a one man show 😶
I love how they delved into their design process. They were so intentional with this. The home really captured the essence of a leaf/nature. Also, the living roof! So glad they took the chance on that:) the interior of the ceiling is like a work of art. 😍 even with the curved roof, they have plenty of headspace! Such a beautiful home.
Exactly
Last time I was this early, the foundation wasnt build yet.
Haha. Love it.
Best comment!! 🏆
Im so happy this is my favorite tiny house. I am studying Sustainability with a concentration in Biomimicry, and Biophilic Design is one of my favorite things!
"I", "my", "me"... Very egocentric and their non verbal communication tells me she isn't happy there. The tiny house is lovely, but just got very negative vibes from this guy.
I very much agree. As much as I loved the outside look of the house and design, I spent the rest of the time monitoring their body language, with the sound on mute - which is a first with Bryce's videos. It was a struggle to listen to. He is not the first tiny houser to build an eco-friendly, sustainable, permaculture tiny home out of recycled materials. Just everyone else interviewed who did are far less braggy. Nice house but...
B Lozano V - The following was posted by another commentator and made think plus revise my initial opinion. The last paragraph should be read taken to heart by those posters who were nasty to vicious (you appear to be judgemental about the partner but were not nasty).

@Andrew Brent it's just my point of view based on their non verbal communication.
I can't stand people like him
@@wendyweaver8749 ok - thanks for your opinion.
All these negative comments about this couple, particularly him. He just comes off as very passionate about his home to me. He might talk more but I never once saw him speak over his wife or Bryce. Passion is a good thing 🖤
So? He's a polite narcissist.
Agree... with Forestfairy.
Exactly! He's just passionate and knowledgeable. Nothing wrong with that.
I don’t understand all the negative comments about this couple. He’s just very passionate, and proud, and I suspect the house was his project. It’s beautifully designed and I personally love all the environmental considerations. Nice job 👍🏻 Bryce, once again, is so classy and does such a great job with interviewing. Thanks for another great episode.
Thanks so much Nicola! Glad you enjoyed the video.
@MegaJman72, but some people do the opposite. It can be cruel to act like they are headed toward proposing, let's say, if they aren't there yet., or even don't want to ever get that serious.
When it comes to building something, it's good to let the other person know if their investment of money or time in the project is pretty risky, or if you intend on being with them long-term/marrying.
Just my two cents.
MegaJman72 He’s not dominant he’s just well versed in the alternative living. My partner is an engineer & knows a whole lot more about environmental sustainability than I do. I would have never considered some of the building practices he’s implemented since losing his home in the Tubbs fire in Oct 2017. He gets giddy as a schoolboy talking about it, much like this gentleman. On the other hand I picked out the vanity, faucets, bathtub, appliances, flooring, etc. which I enjoy.
@@HandbagDiva Alright, pinkyt67! So well said. Thanks!
Thanks, Bryce and Rasa, for finding this home so full of interest and possibilities. Gorgeous.
And thanks for putting up with so many who think rudeness and foul language are actually informed opinions.
Best to you both.
i dont get the hate to the guy either, clearly he had a vision he brought it to life the guy is happy and excited to share his knowledge, his passion for the environment , people hating on this guy for no sensible reason
I want to see him as a sustainable guy but no matter how hard I try, I just see a narcissist. I can't help it.
I detected the narcissism after a few minutes.
@@joebryant8500 Please don't diagnose someone you don't know based on 16 minutes of screen time. Even if you think you recognize the symptoms. Diagnosis should ONLY ever be made by professional licensed psychiatrists.
maybe you can make an effort and see him as a human being, flawed, as we all are, even the ones you happen to like?
@@louibeans You know some psychologist and psychiatrics are sociopath, abuser, violent or even murderer, even id they have a ph.d. School doesnt make you more intelligent, it makes you learn some information on certain subject, but nothing replace common sense and intuition. If you knew intimately psychologist and psychiatrics you'd quickly relalise that they are not smarter, have flawed judgements, weakness, false perceptions from time to time and fears, just like everybody else.
SigmaSharp right? he’s got a good message ...but he strikes me as a recovering corporate shill. You can hear it in his tone. His wife? Seems like an accessory instead of a mate. Odd.
Whole lotta "I" statements instead of "we." The wife looked a bit awkward standing off to the side. Her fashion is on point though
Hi Chris, I feel she is a partner who started living in later with him, he did state my kids, my partner..
Usually it's the other way around. The woman doesn't let the man speak. It's refreshing to see both in action.
I was thinking the exact same thing. The guy was all "Me, myself and I", my house, my dog. Dude, there's your wife standing right next to you.
Beautiful home. Agree with others - a lot of “ I “ me etc. statements.
That’s not really his wife... she was a model placed there to pose as his wife so he wouldn’t come across as the sad lonely self-obsessed loser that he really is.
Very nice tiny house. I gotta say though, we watched this as a family and all of us noticed that we never heard this many me me me I I I in a video like this.
I love this home and I appreciate everyone's comments. My take is that Bryce spent time with them before the interview (you all must realize that they didn't first meet the minute the camera started rolling.) Anyway, his passion showed and he was very articulate in walking through the process and explaining his decisions. She seemed happy about the project and was just willing to let him have the opportunity to show off his work. Some people (and by "some people" I mean me) are just not comfortable in front of a camera. Anyway, I feel like I can't judge a relationship on a 16 minute video....
Lisa, yes on all your points. Nice to have some adults in the room.
-And by adults, I mean people who can listen to-or watch-the video without spewing knee-jerk hate and meanness as opinion.
We're guests on Bruce and Rasa's channel. They do great work.
So true, people are full of judgements and criticisms, always want to look for the bad, ugly & negative, how do they know if she's unhappy, are they in her head??
I think what annoye me the most is he's always talking how HE wanted it to be his house. His partner can be shy or maybe she didn't want to talk and that's fine but the fact that he said 'I wanted' all the time instead of 'we wanted' makes him look bad.
Agree. Perhaps the host asked for on of them to be the spokesperson for the couple and the man who was perhaps most knowledgeable and passionate about it agreed to do so. She spoke up when she had something to say.
This is such an important tiny house and occupants. People who understand about sustainability, and how to design their home and surroundings around that. Not only so that they have a future, but also that so many urban dwellers could do too if there was the initiative to do it. It is so vital that we listen to the message from people like this, adopt their ideas into our homes and surroundings, in order to steer ourselves and the planet in the right direction. Let's wish this couple every success in getting their message across !
Thanks so much Phil! Glad you enjoyed the video. :)
i know a lot of people like to criticise the people on camera but you know not everyone is comfortable on camera so forgive them if they don’t speak as casually or forget a few details
True
100% agree!!!
Please, please revisit them when they complete second phase, the recreated eco-system project.
I can't wait to see how the living roof grows!
@@TheresaPowers Jealous much? Grow the fuck up lmao
Sushiyrolls
I don't know if the couple will agree to show us anymore of their place since SO MANY REALLY NEGATIVE comments were posted about him. The worst ones were removed. Such a shame to post such things when Rasa & Bryce are so nice to continue to show us a beautiful place every Friday!
THANK YOU RASA & BRYCE!
WE ALL LOVE YOU ❤️
Katherine McChesney
You obviously don't realize what you make yourself look like to the everyone.
I laugh when these knuckleheads say “we made this love seat sitting area for when we have visitors”. No one is gonna come over and sit on your lap bro
Reading these comments, wow. I must say that after living in the US for a while I noticed how sensitive Americans are. Everything needs to pass through many filters and everything is picked and analyzed. Ughh, so tiring.
Jasmina X aren’t you doing that too ...analysing the comments?
Yes! And everything is “racist.” You can criticize a religion, religious belief, geographical location, political party, political platform, or even someone being of an unhealthy weight and they call it, “racist”!
He did talk a lot and he did say "I, me, my" a lot, but I wouldn't interpret it as egocentric. I think he's just very passionate about design and this must have been a project that he was really invested into, and his spouse seemed to just let him talk because he was the architect behind it. There are loads of other videos in which, if it's a male-female couple, the woman is the one that does most of the talking, because she's the one who thought out more about the functionality or the sustainability or the aesthetic of the design, and the man just stands by quietly, and that's fine too.
Also, it could be that she talked a lot more in the original recording, but when they edited the video they needed to keep to the time constrain, and perhaps because he talked more about the purpose behind the design, maybe more of the things that she said were left out...?
People are so quick to judge.
I agree I was just surprised in the first few minutes when he said 'I', 'me', 'mine' so often instead of 'we', 'us' ect. Maybe she'll just stay in the big house and send him to the tiny house :)
Quite simply, the most beautiful "tiny ceiling / roof line" I have ever seen. Well done, you two!
Can we have the lady do the kitchen and bath and the guy does the outside, power, living room and wood specifics? Even if the partner didn't help or came "after" the build, its cringy to watch one "partner" go on and on and on and on.........
The silent wife listening to the guy talking about HIS house. One of the few really annoying people you have met.

Have Americans-and I don't know, maybe the commenters here are not American, but we seem the rudest bunch of people online-tumbled so low into disinformation and ignorance that we take erudition and passion for knowledge to be imperiousness and enjoying the sound of one's own voice? Do we devalue erudition so much (perhaps feel threatened by it), that we'll just dump a bunch of insulting comments and not take responsibility for our own issues?
Yes, sometimes, on YT especially, there are rude men who seem domineering for the sake of being domineering, but I don't see that here. And there are gentler ways of saying things, especially on a channel that does so much to bring positivity into the world. This channel always feels to me a space where its interviewers can expect to be treated well, so when they are not, it's especially disheartening.
Maybe she didn't participated in costruction?
She did participate in the conversation and at times her partner said "they" as she said " I like light" etc. What alternative universe are you viewing from? He is proud and passionate but what have his criitics done?! Let's see his critic's experimental home design!
Lol and? Annoying? Bet you're a woman and always want credit for what all your husband did because why not? You're a partner right??
@@ABCurry30 you would not agree with yourself. Do not speak like that, you do not seem intellectually sharp, from whatever point of view. Your own doesn't come at a cost, it seems. What means you are a target for what you fear. And you do, you are tired of not agreeing with things to end.
His “I’m so awesome” giggle. Gag 🤢
"Live according to my passions" - this couple is not a team! "I, I, me, I, me" - I wouldn't want to be with a man who talked like that.
yah that lady also looked super pissed off whenever the dude was talking. RIP their marriage.

I always wanted to have a house with doors and large glass windows and when I looked out I saw a peaceful view of the forest. I'm just bored with city life, noisy.
I think there are many people who share your feelings there.
Agreed. Noise is easy to find, quiet not so much now.
I could happily live in a home this size in the middle of a
forest.
Concrete jungles are cities, dominant creature is human, most hostile creature there is also the human, aren't cities wonderful?... Northwestern forests(jungles) you still have to worry about humans but also bears and now wolves (reintroduced and killing off even bears... remember wolves get as big as a young cow, so imagine a cow with fast*er* legs and sharp teeth for the better to eat us with and The Forestry thinks it's doing good.......... excuses for money and keep getting money even after the initial work

Lol he should have done the interview alone! Poor lady just standing there like a statue
I love this deeper explanation on every choice and the impact on the environment! It makes so much sense :)
Love it! Our tiny house is coming along nicely and so many of our ideas are from your channel! Thanks for all the inspiring support guys! Much love! X
Nice one! All the best for your build. :)

We all want to see your tiny when you complete it! 🤗
100 grand seems a bit steep with recycled components, those 8000 dollar front doors are nice though.
Probably not as much recyclable stuff as we'd be lead to believe. Lots of designer and new looking material. $100k is way too much for 250sqft.
Yes It might be a bit up there. When you have a design like that using the least toxic materials and all the curves in the design, Not being able to use standard building technique with a lot of custom work. The labor on a build like that is really high.
@@amaraeast3380 For a hundred grand I could by a saw mill and mill my own lumber build it and still have at least 50000 left over.
@@anthonyromano8565 And you'd still have the saw mill and charge $100K to make tiny houses for flash designer types lol.
Green building isn't cheap.. funny, our world is so toxic, its more expensive to buy things that aren't...
The guy seemed like an egotistical a-hole. Jesus. Nice tiny house. Although it seems too cramped and too much 💰 was dumped into it for it to be that cramped. I understand tiny houses are meant to be within a square footage, but not my favorite lay out. I guess as long as they're happy. Oh wait I meant as long as HE'S happy. 😂
Cheers!
God forbid someone has passion for a project of their design and doing and they want to talk about it.
What is it with you people? Grow the fuck up
@@SynthhInHD It's not so much about having pride in the project as it was about how he kept bringing up climate change and how in tune he is with it. He came across as an extremely virtue signaling individual, not to mention, he talked way too much -- more than a professional sales person, which is kinda crazy.
He also sounded extremely pretentious about what amounts to trailer park living. However, that seems to be a general trend with tiny house folks. They're kinda like vegans. They get too self absorbed with the lifestyle and talk about all the amazing things it does, as if they're trying to convince themselves, more than anyone else.
Perhaps you shouldn't take other people's personal opinions to heart so much, especially online? Just a thought.
@@SynthhInHD God forbid I have an opinion. 😂 Maybe not my best moment, but we're all entitled to an opinion. 🤷🏻♀️
The couple separated after this interview 😅
I never understand how the beds are made when the mattress is wall to wall.
This house is lovely!! Way too much "me me me, I I I" though 😕
This tiny home is one of the most beautiful ones I've seen tbh, however his personality is so off putting. The white privilege jumped out! LOL "He" does have good taste though, & I really appreciate your appreciation for architecture, (LOL) also how wonderfully nice you are. 😁
"White privilege." LOL!
What? How is caring about the environment have anything to do with race? I'm not white and I am very passionate about all of these things. You try to dish on white people and actually end up offending people who are not white but also like this lifestyle.
"White privilege"...haha. After looking at your playlist, you must have idiot privilege.
OMG, this guy knows a lot about what "we" should be doing. Quite the preacher. So annoyed by the owner, I can't like the house! Wonderful filming of the space, as usual.
Walker must do this on a larger scale. I love how much thought he has put into every bit of the construction and development of the house and the area. Great house, excellent video. Thanks for this, Bryce. 😍😘🤗
Beautiful, and not just talkers, but teachers and doers as well👌♥❤♥💯
But mercy please... include each other😧
Interesting people in this video. ‘Me, myself, and I” the entire time, heard ‘we’ in the last few sentences.
Better than speaking for each other. They were speaking to their wants as individuals
as to what was important to each of them.
He had wants she had wants and "we" accomplished them together.
youloveambure - he said 56 times "we" - check out the transcript.
@@fieldsleeper Must be nice to have a lot of free time.

omg i'm going to be here all day, reading the comments! 🤣
Hellzap0ppin
Same. I'm addicted to reading all! RUclips needs to let us mark where we left off & take a break so we can go watch Bryce & Rasa's other videos!
I'm going crazy here. Also, reading puts me to sleep when I'm soooooo tired 😴
They are better than the video!
Americans always take the term "hygge" and make it this grand thing, literally it's just an everyday term for having a nice time. Grabbing a coffee or a beer with a friend can be hygge. Being lazy, watching a movie. Having a chat with someone. Yes, purposely creating a cozy atmosphere can be hygge too, but "the art of cozy" sounds so pretentious lmao, if you hang out with people you like it's automatically "hygge"
This! Now that Scandinavian culture has become trendy it’s weird hearing other cultures co-opt it and sound pretentious. Aspects of Scandinavian culture can definitely be pretentious- some Danes are total snobs about fashion and design. But hygge is the opposite of pretentious- it’s enjoying little moments with loved ones, cozy lightheartedness, perhaps indulging in a little something yummy to eat or drink. It’s cool that she’s inspired by it, but it’s more about how you act than how you decorate your home, and this couple definitely don’t give off a hyggelig vibe. They seem like they have a lot to prove. Also, if you want to get into the Scandi lifestyle, stop wearing your dirty shoes in the house! Keep some slippers by the door and offer them to your guests- that’s hygge.
Yes, it always seems a bit strange when hygge becomes a concept, when it's really just more like a feeling :)
And please, Americans, it's "hygge" with a "y", like in "hymn", not "hoogaa"
@@majlis2238 Here hyggering with the boyyyys, wassup
This guy reminds me of Ted Bundy.
I just love this couple’s spirit! 💕 we need more of that in our world!!!
Idk if hes a narcissist or she's introverted/unhappy. Does he live in the house alone? He said "my house", "my closet", "my toilet". Wtf. Weird.
Sounds just like MY ex. Lmao
Femiluv
After a couple lives together 7 years, they are automatically legally married in the United States. I doubt this couple has been together that long.
@@goodliving2171 what does that have to do with anything. You dont have to be together for 7 yrs to say "we".
Femiluv Good point. He should naturally default to "we" given a previous relationship with kids.
I know! I cringed the entire time...
I think its kinda unfair to judge their relationship off one video. And the comments of the dude being annoying and talking a lot? God forbid someone have some passion about something! Chill out dudes
I don't like this walker guy. His personality goes against the grain a bit.
Going against the grain can be a good thing.
He's a man with big balls. Of course you don't like him, stupid feminist.
@@TheresaPowers Well you seem kind and compassionate. Blessings.
@@Innominated1 Have you seen his balls? If not, that's pure speculation.
This dude has achieved the anti-consumer status. Lucky.
I love the mindfulness that went into this. Also I’ve never seen a bathtub like that, very cool!
She did an amazing job.
Chris Beyers She needs to divorce the asshole and marry the builder.
@@aljoy9069 Because ofcourse you know he's an asshole from your extensive personal relation you have with him, and not just because you don't like someone talking passionately on the internet and feel the need to be an edgelord
HcFateFan
You don’t have to know someone personally to know that personality type. Maybe you’ll get it when you’re older and actually have some life experience. Anyone who monopolizes the attention and doesn’t let their partner speak up is an asshole, just like Mr Joy said.
He called her, "his partner" & was not wearing a wedding ring, so I don't believe they are married.
Why don't you like him?
@Sharon G, watch again. Was he perfect? No, but was both respectful and supportive as she spoke. He made eye contact with her, smiled, and nodded in agreement.
Could he have used the words "I" and "my" less. Sure, but we know next to nothing about these two people. Unfair to judge based on one tiny slice of their life. Besides, that's not what the video or this channel is for.
It always amazes me that people can make such definitive statement about someone after watching a 15 minute video. Time some of you negative nancys put your energy into positive thought, you never know you just might be a little bit happier for it :)
The whole open concept with tiny homes and children... nah...
Easy way not to have any more 🤣
They can watch. I don't minddd 🤪 lol
@@nightgoggles9931 , ewww
Honesty, If you think about it in a non-Western perspective, a lot of kids live in what would be considered tiny homes.
@@RedFlyingFox007 That's right.
I see a lot of complaints about the owner, but I see someone passionate about his project. I'm happy the wife is supporting her spouse. And she help design the house. He is the technological knowledge and he was eager to share. I loved to learn more.
Love, love, love this house! Especially love that "aspen" tile wall in the bathroom. I used to live in Winnipeg, close to the Assiniboine Forest, which is full of aspen trees, and I can totally see the aspen trees in that tile wall. Makes me miss my daily walks there.
Curved wood reminds me of older ships, beautiful !
Those who challenge with new ways of thinking will often annoy others with closed minds. I loved the concept of imitating nature, and think this place is really special. Ok, it cost a lot, but often prototype does. So many aspects here that have inspired me. Thanks for showing this!
I am about as open regarding tiny houses as one can get and this guy was just too into himself to listen to. If he's not a narcissist, he will come and see these comments and say "wow, I sound like a dick."
We're open to his ideas, I think his execution comes off a bit "I'm a know it all" and abrasive.
im dick
It's a beautiful design! I love that so many more people are thinking about their impact on the environment. It's insane that we use clean drinking water to wash our human waste down the toilet and collect it all when it could simply be composted.
The reason I love watching these videos is not just because of the houses but also the kind of life principles that come as takeaway from the home owners. So beautiful to see these tiny home with mindful conservation of the earth’s resources
Totally agree!
3:37 so it's HIS house, not hers... Good to know. Well, she doesn't get to talk a lot anyway, so that seems to fit.
I find this to be a little too impractical, especially for a tiny house, but I admire their courage, dedication and passion towards nature. Good show Bryce.
Some builds need to be more on the impractical side to push the boundaries of what's possible! All forward movement starts as an experiment. I wanted to put a green roof on my tiny house, but found it wasn't possible with the weight limitations in New Zealand. It's exciting for me to see this one!
By far one of my favorite tiny homes, we need more responsible humans like them in this world! Thanks for showing us this home! Such an inspiration 😊
Responsible my ass, His 5000 sq. ft homes ft. print is ok as long as it makes him money. Nothing Eco friendly to see here.

If a person lives in a large house and then realizes it better to downsize and leave less of a footprint, so they rent out their larger house instead of selling it, you have a problem with that? The big house is already there. Some people watching the small and tiny house videos will decide to also downsize. My son wants to buy his first house to be a tiny house some day when he works and saves to pay cash since he does not believe in going into debt. I have decided to downsize also.

What are you talking about, sociopath trolls, etc.?
More yuppies taking over the tiny house movement??
Very cool and unique home and couple. I love the wave of the roof line and the living roof. The inside is so beautiful-love the kitchen and bathroom. It was't a ton of square footage, but sure seemed like it was much bigger than they said. Just beautiful and I love the they are trying to make a difference on the environment. I'm not a city gal at all, a country bumpkin-so this home would be beautiful look out over a forest or fields.
Hello Brenda
"I wanted", "I needed", "I...", "My...". I couldn't see her in that! He was constantly talking about himself - his ideas and needs. It is strange of how often did he talk about himself and how little did he use "us", "our", "we" pronouns. Despite the beauty of the house and considerate choices around it I wasn't able to see a space for her wants and needs, acctually. Maybe it is just an impression, but it made me quite concerned about her living in a tiny house despite not being very convinced to the project...
First Tiny house video were I felt uncomfortable watching 😩 someone go save that poor woman.
I couldn't watch this to the be end. The continuous mumbo jumbo from the owner was too much to bear
agree totally!!🙄 first time i cud not finish an episode... sorry Bryce!.. love u and your channel 💙
First one ever I can’t watch to the end. That guy 👎🏼
carolb801 - The following was posted by another commentator and made me think plus revise my initial opinion.
At first I kind of agreed with comments that called out the man, Walker, and his demeanor, but then I watched the video more. He listened carefully to his partner, Heather, when she did speak and did not interrupt. I had the sense she felt fine to speak whenever she wanted to, but her partner's interests were not her own. She doesn't look happy, but I don't see there's any indication of the reason why (and I don't know how anyone can say, based on a short video, that just because she seems unhappy, she MUST be unhappy-maybe she's nervous or tired). I feel it's irresponsible for people to cast aspersions based on the video.
I'm also sort of sad about it; this man was excited to share information with viewers, and many of the viewers here responded with judgment and insults. Look, Walker seems thoughtful and passionate. He has obviously read much about biophilic design and biomimicry, areas of inquiry not far afield of his career, according to what he himself said.

@3:38
Him: Its MY house...so be it!
Her:
On the plus side, she's very "healthy" looking.
Well he could have built the house first, then she came along. Ya never know right?
For everyone moaning about the guy talking so much and not giving his wife much credit for the project allow me to set it straight,
This guy has worked very hard on this project and took so much time out of his days to have this fully realized, its not like hes getting paid for the project, he at least deserves the credit for the project.
A straight roof could provide comfort in the upper loft it looks. Suffocating with the celing comes down at one point over the sleeping loft
It looks great but I think it is not that practical either. I mean changing the sheets might be hard since you can't stand/go around the bed
I love when he threw in some info about climate change and the environment 💚🐮
Love the bathroom and the roof, inside and out! The environment would thank us if we all tried to install green space on top of all buildings.
I tried so hard to watch the entire video because I'm very interested in the owner's concepts and inspirations (+ whatever his poor wife was able to interject when he stopped for breath), but my god does he think highly of himself.
