This is the kind of home I'd like to live in. It's not tiny, but small... which is exactly what I'd like. Plus, the small stone garden is very nice, too.
Also, let me know if you enjoy these tours of slightly larger homes. I've got lots more Tiny Homes on the way (and have found some true stunners here in the USA), but I often find some other really special projects that I'd love to be able to feature. What are your thoughts?
While I was initially attracted to your channel specifically due to my interest in tiny homes, through my research, I've come to appreciate the middle ground that can be found in a 'small home'. If the goal is to live simply with a reduced housing cost to income ratio, then a small home can be just as effective while still being able to afford some of the luxuries that the extra space provides. I'm very glad that you've branched out a little to include unique homes and the inspiration that they provide, even if they are not on wheels. ;-)
Thanks so much Kristin. I totally agree with you, there is so much that we can learn from tiny house principles that can be applied to larger homes. Also, visa versa! For example my tiny house design was largely inspired through earth-ships, which are traditionally really large buildings.
Yes Bryce, I would like you to feature bigger houses. This one is so lovely. I love the Japanese minimalist way of life. My home is 89 m2 and if styled it like this house it would seem huge :)
keep these videos up if you have the opportunity Bryce! the common themes of minimalism, design, eco-friendliness, resourcefulness, alternative living, low-cost living options, and the lot are what truly speak to this community you've come to know on your channel. Home dimensions/ magnitude/ proportions although a common theme is not the sole under-lying motivation for the interest, I'm sure you could agree! thanks, Dave
Thanks so much for your commend Dave. I completely agree with you! I'm looking forward to seeking out more great homes to bring to you all. I've already found some amazing ones here in the USA!
Amazing! I have watched no.of tiny house videos, but always liked your presentation. Not only you emphasis on the details, but also appreciate the thought and hard work put in by the owner. I think this not only makes the owner feel proud but also motivates the viewers to create beautiful tiny homes with there own personal touch. Keep up the good work. Best of Luck. :)
I just thought the same! You always find what is great in a house and marvel so openly even you have seen lots of houses so far :) it is wonderful, thank you!
WOW!!! I LOVE Daigo's home! So much history and character... He did such an amazing job!! Diago, you are truly amazing! We have spent the past two summers on holiday in Japan and spent a good amount of time there.. I am so impressed with the Japanese style, so simple but majestic, functional and traditional! Love this renovation so much! Arigato gozaimasu
I know when he says "from an elementary school" that he probably bought it when they closed or renovated, but it makes me laugh to imagine him sneaking in during the middle of the night, just to take a chair xD
If it is like a lot of rural Japanese places, the elementary schools are no longer needed because of the reduced birth rate. Kind of sad, to think there aren't enough children around to keep the elementary school open. Google about Japan's rural schools running out of students. (I don't know about the facts of this particular school, but would not surprise me to know this is the reason he was able to obtain "school materials" at a discount price.)
My love for tiny houses is mainly for the design elements that so many creative people come up with. Space saving features, or unique furniture or anything that comes from using their imagination is what calls to me. Keep on showing us artistic or interesting homes during your travels and we'll keep on following your channel. Bryce you and your camera person have done a fabulous job.
I've been watching you for a couple of years now. And I think one of the many reasons I enjoy your tiny house series more than all the others is that you remind me of Huell Howser. You have the same enthusiasm and warmth, and that always makes me smile. Thanks for all the work you do!
Wow, what a beautiful space. As a woodworker, I love when you get to see places like this, with so much cool old reclaimed and repurposed lumber in it. It's a great source of creative inspiration.
This kind of turned my fairly shitty week in to a little less of a shitty week, your videos are always full of so much enthusiasm it's hard to continue to keep the grumpy up. Those doors though, I mean, the whole house is really amazing, but those doors really stood out to me. Turning doors in to what's basically art is such a clever thing, and obviously they are really beautiful too.
I love that you’re doing larger homes. I find small homes much more realistic than tiny homes despite their charm, at least when thinking about starting a family in them. Maybe one day though. Owning either would be great. :)
I love all your videos. Tiny, small, or medium houses, show them all. Getting ideas from all over the world is another plus. Don't stop, keep up the great work.
This is my favorite home. I’m in total agreement. The wood is magnificent. Everything about this home is glorious. I absolutely love the charred wood fence and the back yard. It’s a great lesson in home design and decorating.
Just saw this in 9/2020-what a very magnificent home! It is everything I would love to live in. Daigo is a true master. Thank you Bryce for finding him.
I love the beautiful, traditional housing you show in Japan, New Zealand and other places. Japan especially have a wonderful way of working with wood and bamboo that is incredibly beautiful. I would happily watch your work because it is always interesting and well made.
just wow! amazing home! so simple and humble. I like Daigo and I love what he did to this house. It so beautiful and I'm literally lost for words while watching the whole video.
Respect for everyone who chose the *minimalistic living* as our world really needs it. But what I really like about your channel is your expressions everytime you step into a tiny home! I'm so sure it must make the owner proud... You really have that air of positivity all around you!☺️☺️
Delightful to find a cache of Japanese designs here. I have designed and built several Japanese gardens and tea houses in my lifetime and these are splendid finds for me.
I quite love traditional japanese design, the panelled walls, the incorporation of wood all over, the big windows and unity between the inside and outside. My biggest dream is to create an engawa porch for my own home.
More big tiny homes, Bryce! As someone who lives in an 1886 solid brick terrace bungalow of 858 sq ft, I began watching your channel for small space living ideas, like storage and shelves. I once lived in 120 sq ft cabin in the woods in Aspen, so this was a big step up for me. Small is easy to clean, my bills are way low, and it feels cozy~ so say all my friends living in 3,200 sq ft homes in suburbia. If I could take my 858 sq ft home on the road, I totally would!
the garden is so beautiful and the house is too! my favorite part of this is the overall use of wood. it looks really cozy and earthly. it feels like home.
Your channel is soooo inspirational. We are currently 'renovating' a 1952 frame house (across from a railroad track) in Florida. It's 928 square feet (which includes 300 sq. feet in an addition from the previous owners). My family of four will live in it. I think this channel originally inspired me to live minimally and appreciate what I have. Our home will be small compared to many friends and families' homes, but we couldn't be prouder. I hope our next home is even smaller!!
Oh wow! That sounds like a truly amazing project. All the best with your renovation. Wonderful that you've found some inspiration here. Thank-you for watching!
I also love these traditional wooden Japanese homes. I have been watching Tokyo Llama resoring his abandoned Japanese home. One day, maybe my son, could do the same. So inspiring.
It's like Japanese meets Danish meets a cozy little Arts & Crafts studio home? Spectacular!! And Bryce is so good at pointing out things and shedding light and color from his thoughts!
Would be such a pleasant and cozy place to live in. I love the desk right next to the bed haha. Designing the garden to reflect more sunlight into the house was also very clever.
japanese house are really good because of the natural beauty that the wood emits. someday i'd like to design one like a modern traditional japanese house. this is a good learning material for me. thanks for making this video.
With out a doubt one of the the most stunning places.. A blend of old/new/recycled.. Hes a true artist.. So gifted.. Would love to be able to spend what's left of the rest of my life in a place like either one he's built
Daigo obviously has a wonderful talent. As he did with the last place this one is simple but the use of elements especially the beautiful timber has elevated it to the next level. Well done Daigo and the video was great as well. Thank you.
As always, Bryce, you have found a jewel to share with us...yes, anything like this is always well received! I totally enjoy your way of talking to/bringing people out to tell us about their work! You make them/us all feel like you love what you do, because you do love finding these gems! Keep doing exactly what you've been doing! I get super excited to see the newest videos! Be safe! .pgw/OR/USA
Thanks so much Patricia! I am really blessed to be able to travel and bring you all these videos. I really do enjoy it and feel very privileged to be invited into such wonderful spaces and meet these incredible people. Thank-you for watching!
I just wanted to share how much I'm loving your channel! It's such refreshing material and your authentic enthusiasm resonates through each episode. Traveling to great places like you do must be wonderful, and I love seeing these tiny homes help people live fuller and richer lives! Thank you! Maybe one day my husband and I can change our lives by downsizing considerably and traveling!
Love that you're reading the minimalists. I'm currently trying to catch up on all the episodes of their podcast. Started from ep 1 back in November 2016...still going...
This is my favorite house so far . I'm not one to judge or pick favorites , but this house cleary had alot of handmade work and time put into it. The hard work efforts truly don't go unnoticed , just Amazing , that much time yet looks so simple , just outstanding !!!
Hi Bryce, this was amazing. Just like you, I am in awe of his workmanship and his eye for design! And if you have ever tried to restore an old derelict building like that must have been when he started, it even makes you appreciate what he has accomplished there even more!
Bryce, I really enjoyed this video. I love seeing tiny homes, but I myself would have to live in a bit bigger than a normal tiny house.......So Yes, I'd love to see what other homes you are interested in showing. I very much enjoy the homes you choose to visit and all the details you show us. I get such joy from watching how excited you get to see inside each new home. Love your channel ! You seem to really love houses as much as I do !! l always look forward to the next video.
Hi Bryce, Just wanted to say "Thank you" for introducing tiny houses in my home country Japan. I really love those videos! I use to help my Aunt feeding silk worms when I was a kid. I think you made me "Homesick" !!
Oh wow! How lovely. :) You're very welcome. I'm so happy that you're enjoying the Japan series of videos. I absolutely loved my time over there. How great that the video brought back those memories for you!
the most beautiful tiny home so far... love the Japanese design. I hope Daigo made the shower and bathtub more natural with bamboo for (pipes)and stones for tub. like onsen
Firstly, I am so pleased that I see you are being sponsored! I can worry less about the business model ;-) . Also, as someone who is looking to build a small house, it's great to see the blend. I need room to work from home with a studio, so a true tiny house would be a dream, but not practical at all. Seeing both gives such a breadth of wisdom to draw on from both ideals. Thank you so much for all you do - I really enjoy your work.
Really liked the style of this place and the layout! Also I thought those doors where he used branches to make a design was really really clever and fit the rest of the wooden house.
Your home is gorgeous!! It makes you want to touch and run your hands over every surface. The toilet was adorable. I love that you modernized the home but it's true tradition was blasting through every where!!! Bravo!!
really loved this. it's the perfect size and very practical (typical of Japanese design). I like how he kept or reused old material but then added new tech stuff for the comfort of daily living.
I think a home this size would certainly be less scary for a family. It's a great amount of space, yet still small enough to be easily manageable and without excess. Thank-you for watching!
A simply beautiful project that will undoubtedly prove to be a lovely home for years to come. What a design...seems that this could be easily replicated anywhere. The garden really makes the entire house a home IMHO.
It sure could be. I definitely agree as well, the care and attention which went into the garden, and matching it's style to really fit the home finishes it off perfectly.
amazing house Also I have used Audible and it's pretty great. It turned my 1 hour traffic filled road rage waiting to happen commute to work into a fun story time.
Haha. I know that feeling! Audio books and pod-casts have saved my temper many times. Living in Auckland, the only city I've ever experienced with worse traffic so far is Los Angeles, so having good in-car entertainment is a must! :)
I live in Northern New Jersey, USA which has some of the worst traffic in the US because of the vast amount of people who live in NJ and commute to New York City for work... Normally I am not a fan of sponsors but Audible is great! ..... Keep up the amazing videos mate they are not only informative but extremely relaxing to watch. Some of the houses you have shown is are just unbelievable. You are like the Willy Wonky of Tiny Houses haha... That's supposed to be a compliment.
The Willy Wonka of Tiny Houses! :) I'll take that. Glad that you've been enjoying the tours. And yeah, I was reluctant to start introducing sponsors, but as I'm traveling so often, I need it to be able to continue bringing the homes to you all. Plus, sponsors like this are perfect, because I actually am a huge fan of audio books and digital product has a super low environmental impact, so it's ideal for my channel. Oh wow - I can only imagine what it would be like to have to commute to work in a city like NYC. At least your public transport is pretty good there though, right?
Living Big In A Tiny House I never took public transportation- It would have added an extra hour to my commute and I am not a morning person haha I am one of those fools who drove to work every day. I have no issue with your incorporation of sponsorship I think you did it perfectly and that's coming from someone who hates sponsors haha.
Thank-you! And yeah, I know what you mean about it adding on time. In certain cities (like Tokyo) the public transport was amazing and super efficient. In LA, I looked into taking the train to a place which was about 30 minutes drive away, and it would have taken me 4.5 hours to get there!!!!! Talk about cities designed for cars!
Beautiful. I love natural woods in a home, I have quite a lot in my own. This small Japanese home really has a lot of space. Grand design - I love it. Thanks Bryce - another fine video!! Take care my friend.
This home is beautiful. I personally love the wood. Very rustic. Please do more home tours like this! Small homes are nice too cause not everyone wants to live in a tiny house on wheels, but this home still has a smaller foot print. I love the split bathroom.
A great touch of the home renovation. Homestead Custom Carpentry also provide the great ideas for home renovation. The owners of Homestead take their work seriously and will not walk away from a job incomplete or with the client left unsatisfied. Homestead Custom Carpentry is fully capable and ready for the challenge!
What an incredible house. I usually like homes with more modern designes but this one is something special. Rough around the edges yet so charming with all that wood and beautiful little garden. And what a clever way to decrease water usage with that 2in1 toilet.
Thanks Emily. I think elements of this house have given it a bit of a modern edge which is perfectly set against the rustic charm from the original features. A nice mix indeed! And yeah, the toilets are really interesting in Japan. There are some super clever design ideas there for small bathrooms.
I should be thanking you. Always wanted to se inside small traditional Japanese house.:) True, it is surprising how modern doesn't make original things look old. If it was up to me there would be a lot more changes but i can see that it would be wrong as house looks really unique like this. Have to admit, 8m2 apartments' bathroom is still favorite of mine.
What a lovely person you are, Bryce! Your enthusiasm and positivity are infectious. In today's world climate, it is a simple joy to watch your videos. Thank you
I really enjoyed watching this video. Daigo-san has done such an amazing job renovating. What a labour of love. I really miss Japan. So nostalgic watching the video. 🎌
Thanks for the video! It would be nice to use shosugiban wood (charred wood) here but you can't find it. Pests (including termites) hate it and they way they oil the outside, it sheds water naturally, so it lasts forever. I've always thought it beautiful.
I know what you mean. It is possible to just do it yourself. I've seen people use blow torches to char the wood, so you could maybe look at doing that? There is a knack to it though, but I'm sure you could find instructions online.
Just the best. As always the Japanese have the most sophisticated understated style. Absolutely awesome! Love ❤️ this and how talented and sweet is the builder. Wow!
Simple houses like this is so elegant modern in nature but it still says holds up to the Natural charm of the original house I love Japanese tea houses so beautiful their houses and he did a really good job and keeping up with the same and not doing too much very simple but fantastic
Just found your channel and im pretty much addicted. Really love small homes/design for minimalistic living. Well done on these videos I can tell you put a lot of effort into them. Much respect and hope you have much more success here on youtube. Thanks for sharing this with us all.
I love Japanese home design, Its always so humble
Simple and beautiful seems to be a motto for Japanese design. The homes over there always made me feel very comfortable.
Simple.. nd.. Elegant...
For real there's no TV any where to be seen lol
Ebby yes indeed
Wabi sabi
This is the kind of home I'd like to live in. It's not tiny, but small... which is exactly what I'd like.
Plus, the small stone garden is very nice, too.
I think many people find the idea of a tiny house just too small, but these homes are much less scary.
Check out the akiya banks in Japan.
Also, let me know if you enjoy these tours of slightly larger homes. I've got lots more Tiny Homes on the way (and have found some true stunners here in the USA), but I often find some other really special projects that I'd love to be able to feature. What are your thoughts?

Living Big In A Tiny House
These are bigger, but not big, and they're really gorgeous. Keep them coming, too!
Yes, please feature tours of slightly larger homes!
Daigo , what a clever hard working, man.
Typical Japanese man
I love Daigo. I think he is awesomely cool guy.
He sure is!
Right!
That house is alive! It sings to everyone who walks in -- very low-key, natural, calm and lovely. It's soothing just to look at it.
keep these videos up if you have the opportunity Bryce! the common themes of minimalism, design, eco-friendliness, resourcefulness, alternative living, low-cost living options, and the lot are what truly speak to this community you've come to know on your channel. Home dimensions/ magnitude/ proportions although a common theme is not the sole under-lying motivation for the interest, I'm sure you could agree!

Thank-you so much for your comment. I always feel very honoured to be welcomed into peoples home and given the opportunity to share them with you.
Thank-you Adela!
I just thought the same! You always find what is great in a house and marvel so openly even you have seen lots of houses so far :) it is wonderful, thank you!
So in love with you..
Your speaking skills is awesome👍
Love the garden concept of using light colored stones to reflect light back into the house. Thanks for another wonderful house tour Bryce.
WOW!!! I LOVE Daigo's home! So much history and character... He did such an amazing job!! Diago, you are truly amazing! We have spent the past two summers on holiday in Japan and spent a good amount of time there.. I am so impressed with the Japanese style, so simple but majestic, functional and traditional! Love this renovation so much! Arigato gozaimasu
This house is amazing! I really like the perfect balance of old and new.
だいごさん、素晴らしい家です。古いものを上手に利用されてますね。
I know when he says "from an elementary school" that he probably bought it when they closed or renovated, but it makes me laugh to imagine him sneaking in during the middle of the night, just to take a chair xD
Haha! Well, that would be one way of bringing the build cost down!
HerpDerpityDude2 Actually, he did do that. I know because I helped him. Trust me, we ninja-ed the shit outta the place! 😜
If it is like a lot of rural Japanese places, the elementary schools are no longer needed because of the reduced birth rate. Kind of sad, to think there aren't enough children around to keep the elementary school open. Google about Japan's rural schools running out of students.

Wow, what a beautiful space. As a woodworker, I love when you get to see places like this, with so much cool old reclaimed and repurposed lumber in it. It's a great source of creative inspiration.
There are so many treasures out there when it comes to old buildings waiting to be revived. It's hard now to find materials of comparable quality.
This kind of turned my fairly shitty week in to a little less of a shitty week, your videos are always full of so much enthusiasm it's hard to continue to keep the grumpy up. Those doors though, I mean, the whole house is really amazing, but those doors really stood out to me.

Daigo, another project done. You are so amazing!
Simple design,simple organization and still better than so many big budget houses.
Excellency, no words to express the work and design, I just simply love it to the core.
I love the clean simplicity of this home.
I love all your videos. Tiny, small, or medium houses, show them all. Getting ideas from all over the world is another plus. Don't stop, keep up the great work.
This is my favorite home. I’m in total agreement. The wood is magnificent. Everything about this home is glorious. I absolutely love the charred wood fence and the back yard. It’s a great lesson in home design and decorating.
I like this mixture of old traditional and industrial style designs. Lots of love and respect for both home owners.
This is the first traditional Japanese home I've seen. And isn't it charming, peaceful and beautifully restored!
Wish someday I could visit Japan and learn a lot from them about traditional living and minimalist lifestyle.
Arigatōgozaimashita!
Just saw this in 9/2020-what a very magnificent home! It is everything I would love to live in. Daigo is a true master. Thank you Bryce for finding him.
I love the beautiful, traditional housing you show in Japan, New Zealand and other places. Japan especially have a wonderful way of working with wood and bamboo that is incredibly beautiful. I would happily watch your work because it is always interesting and well made.
THis house is probably one of the most authenthis i ever seen on this channel. They kept it really simple. That's fabulous
Someday when I move to Japan and buy an old farm home, I want Diago to renovate for me. Love his concept and craftsmanship.
just wow! amazing home! so simple and humble. I like Daigo and I love what he did to this house. It so beautiful and I'm literally lost for words while watching the whole video.
Respect for everyone who chose the *minimalistic living* as our world really needs it. But what I really like about your channel is your expressions everytime you step into a tiny home! I'm so sure it must make the owner proud... You really have that air of positivity all around you!☺️☺️

what a treat to have a tour of such an amazing beautiful home we'll done!
Love that you're reading the minimalists. I'm currently trying to catch up on all the episodes of their podcast.
Started from ep 1 back in November 2016...still going...
I love the simplicity of this house. So beautiful.
He did a marvelous job of using reclaimed materials to make something new but keep the history. Very nicely done!!!
This might be the best small design I've ever seen! Amazing!!! And the cost makes it unbelievable.
This is my favorite house so far . I'm not one to judge or pick favorites , but this house cleary had alot of handmade work and time put into it. The hard work efforts truly don't go unnoticed , just Amazing , that much time yet looks so simple , just outstanding !!!
That was amazing, my two favourite loves, Japanese culture and tiny houses!!! Great video thanks for sharing!!!! :)
Hi Bryce, this was amazing.
Just like you, I am in awe of his workmanship and his eye for design! And if you have ever tried to restore an old derelict building like that must have been when he started, it even makes you appreciate what he has accomplished there even more!
A lovely building and I really like his attitude towards the history of a place. Such a refreshing outlook to hear.
I love the way the firewood is stacked outside. Very artistic. Just adds to the area. Plus the house itself. Beautiful.
You can really see all the hard work he put into the house. It's beautiful! Thanks for the video. :)
You sure can! Lots of hard work indeed. You're very welcome, and thanks for watching.
Bryce, I really enjoyed this video. I love seeing tiny homes, but I myself would have to live in a bit bigger than a normal tiny house.......So Yes, I'd love to see what other homes you are interested in showing.

You seem to really love houses as much as I do !! l always look forward to the next video.
That’s amazing I from Kauai Hawaii and the Japanese plantation workers left architectural things like that in old homes and it’s so beautiful
Hi Bryce, Just wanted to say "Thank you" for introducing tiny houses in my home country Japan. I really love those videos! I use to help my Aunt feeding silk worms when I was a kid. I think you made me "Homesick" !!

I hope Daigo made the shower and bathtub more natural with bamboo for (pipes)and stones for tub. like onsen
I love all that wood! It has so much character!
Wow so lovely seeing old japanese buildings. Daigo did a great job!
Firstly, I am so pleased that I see you are being sponsored! I can worry less about the business model ;-) . Also, as someone who is looking to build a small house, it's great to see the blend. I need room to work from home with a studio, so a true tiny house would be a dream, but not practical at all. Seeing both gives such a breadth of wisdom to draw on from both ideals. Thank you so much for all you do - I really enjoy your work.
Really liked the style of this place and the layout! Also I thought those doors where he used branches to make a design was really really clever and fit the rest of the wooden house.
I really like that feature too. It's a nice connection to the surrounding environment.
Your home is gorgeous!! It makes you want to touch and run your hands over every surface. The toilet was adorable. I love that you modernized the home but it's true tradition was blasting through every where!!! Bravo!!
Thank you for showing this beautiful project. The size is perfect and the young man who renovated it is lovely too.
really loved this. it's the perfect size and very practical (typical of Japanese design). I like how he kept or reused old material but then added new tech stuff for the comfort of daily living.
I think a home this size would certainly be less scary for a family. It's a great amount of space, yet still small enough to be easily manageable and without excess. Thank-you for watching!
A simply beautiful project that will undoubtedly prove to be a lovely home for years to come. What a design...seems that this could be easily replicated anywhere. The garden really makes the entire house a home IMHO.
It sure could be. I definitely agree as well, the care and attention which went into the garden, and matching it's style to really fit the home finishes it off perfectly.
amazing house
Also I have used Audible and it's pretty great. It turned my 1 hour traffic filled road rage waiting to happen commute to work into a fun story time.
Haha. I know that feeling! Audio books and pod-casts have saved my temper many times. Living in Auckland, the only city I've ever experienced with worse traffic so far is Los Angeles, so having good in-car entertainment is a must! :)
I live in Northern New Jersey, USA which has some of the worst traffic in the US because of the vast amount of people who live in NJ and commute to New York City for work... Normally I am not a fan of sponsors but Audible is great! ..... Keep up the amazing videos mate they are not only informative but extremely relaxing to watch. Some of the houses you have shown is are just unbelievable. You are like the Willy Wonky of Tiny Houses haha... That's supposed to be a compliment.
The Willy Wonka of Tiny Houses! :) I'll take that. Glad that you've been enjoying the tours. And yeah, I was reluctant to start introducing sponsors, but as I'm traveling so often, I need it to be able to continue bringing the homes to you all. Plus, sponsors like this are perfect, because I actually am a huge fan of audio books and digital product has a super low environmental impact, so it's ideal for my channel. Oh wow - I can only imagine what it would be like to have to commute to work in a city like NYC. At least your public transport is pretty good there though, right?
Living Big In A Tiny House I never took public transportation- It would have added an extra hour to my commute and I am not a morning person haha I am one of those fools who drove to work every day.
I have no issue with your incorporation of sponsorship I think you did it perfectly and that's coming from someone who hates sponsors haha.
Thank-you! And yeah, I know what you mean about it adding on time. In certain cities (like Tokyo) the public transport was amazing and super efficient. In LA, I looked into taking the train to a place which was about 30 minutes drive away, and it would have taken me 4.5 hours to get there!!!!! Talk about cities designed for cars!
Beautiful. I love natural woods in a home, I have quite a lot in my own. This small Japanese home really has a lot of space. Grand design - I love it. Thanks Bryce - another fine video!! Take care my friend.
Thank-you Charles! Glad you liked it and for sure, natural woods are a wonderful feature. Cheers for watching!
One of the best shows ! Like that it was somewhat small but not tiny and beautifully renovated ! $25,000.00 wow and in Japan !!!! Corie
What a fabulous home, as was his other. This man is an abode artist! Thanks for sharing your visits with him.
He sure is! He's got a real eye for design and also really thinks outside of the box when it comes to materials. I've learnt a lot from Daigo!
Do you know what the footprint dimensions of this house are?
This home is beautiful. I personally love the wood. Very rustic. Please do more home tours like this! Small homes are nice too cause not everyone wants to live in a tiny house on wheels, but this home still has a smaller foot print. I love the split bathroom.
Thanks Sasha! I sure will do. Hopefully I'll find some great small homes here in the USA too.
What a creative man; I'm full of admiration for his skill and taste.
So simple yet so beautiful. I love how functional it is
Function and beauty are two things that Japanese designers excel at.
4:44 that backyard looks amazing.
A great touch of the home renovation. Homestead Custom Carpentry also provide the great ideas for home renovation. The owners of Homestead take their work seriously and will not walk away from a job incomplete or with the client left unsatisfied. Homestead Custom Carpentry is fully capable and ready for the challenge!
I have watched this episode so many times. This is seriously my dream home
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Japanese home interior design is my most favorite design of all. One day I'll have my own house designed the Japanese way!
What an incredible house. I usually like homes with more modern designes but this one is something special. Rough around the edges yet so charming with all that wood and beautiful little garden. And what a clever way to decrease water usage with that 2in1 toilet.
Thanks Emily. I think elements of this house have given it a bit of a modern edge which is perfectly set against the rustic charm from the original features. A nice mix indeed! And yeah, the toilets are really interesting in Japan. There are some super clever design ideas there for small bathrooms.
I should be thanking you. Always wanted to se inside small traditional Japanese house.:) True, it is surprising how modern doesn't make original things look old. If it was up to me there would be a lot more changes but i can see that it would be wrong as house looks really unique like this. Have to admit, 8m2 apartments' bathroom is still favorite of mine.
Wow I LOVE it !!! All that wood is gorgeous! This is perfect for me...
What a lovely person you are, Bryce! Your enthusiasm and positivity are infectious. In today's world climate, it is a simple joy to watch your videos. Thank you
Bryce is a very genuine guy. Amazing tiny/ small house!
Wow this is super beautiful. Putting this at one of the top tiny homes.
Thanks for filming about this enchanting topic.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Daigo-san has done such an amazing job renovating. What a labour of love. I really miss Japan. So nostalgic watching the video. 🎌
Wow, I loved this video! Thank you!
Very impressive. The woodwork is stunning; the bathroom door handles are ever unique!!
It's just an amazing craftsmanship, thank you a lot to let us discover all these incredible things !
Thanks for the video! It would be nice to use shosugiban wood (charred wood) here but you can't find it. Pests (including termites) hate it and they way they oil the outside, it sheds water naturally, so it lasts forever. I've always thought it beautiful.
I know what you mean. It is possible to just do it yourself. I've seen people use blow torches to char the wood, so you could maybe look at doing that? There is a knack to it though, but I'm sure you could find instructions online.
Yeah, I'd hate to be hauled away for starting a huge fire here in FL, though. LOL :-D
There are several videos right on utube with various approaches and variations of the technique.
Just the best. As always the Japanese have the most sophisticated understated style. Absolutely awesome! Love ❤️ this and how talented and sweet is the builder. Wow!
Such an awesome craftsman. Hard to tell what is original and what is new. Just the way I like it. Please show us more of Daigo's work!
Beautiful, what an incredible home! Thanks for sharing
You're welcome Carol. :)
Well done! It's simple but not boring-simple. I dig it!
This house is "big" and amazing. Love it
Simple houses like this is so elegant modern in nature but it still says holds up to the Natural charm of the original house I love Japanese tea houses so beautiful their houses and he did a really good job and keeping up with the same and not doing too much very simple but fantastic
これはお洒落！！
Wow!!!! I love it love it love it so.....cozy and Unbelievably beautiful home renovation.......congratulations! 👏👍😍
本当に素晴らしい良くできた家ですね、おめでとうございます㊗️🎊🍾🎈
Just found your channel and im pretty much addicted. Really love small homes/design for minimalistic living. Well done on these videos I can tell you put a lot of effort into them. Much respect and hope you have much more success here on youtube. Thanks for sharing this with us all.
Thank-you so much! We've got some amazing new home tours coming from the USA, and I can't wait to share the new series with you all.
