Amazing Off-Grid TINY HOUSE Built While At University

  • Phoebe and Luke have constructed a spectacular tiny house for themselves. It’s modern, beautifully built and enjoys a wonderfully spacious design. Totally off the grid and parked up on a friends farm, the home is surrounded by captivating rural views and is certainly an enviable place to live.
    With the explosive cost of housing and affordability across the board at a remarkable low, it’s tough for young people to get ahead in life. Especially if you’ve been to University, most people start their adult life in debt and have to dig themselves out before they can even consider getting onto the housing ladder. This inspiring young couple on the other hand chose to do things a bit differently and constructed their own tiny house on wheels while they were finishing their degrees, giving them a debt free home to move into and a phenomenal start to their independent adult lives.
    With very little prior building experience, constructing their own tiny house was a huge learning curve for the couple, but the result is impressive and has provided them with construction skills which are bound to be abundantly useful going forward in their lives.
    This tiny house is paired with a massive solar system and is totally off the grid. An impressive array of solar panels and a great sized battery bank insure the house always has an abundance of power.
    We hope you enjoy the tour of this tiny home!

    What an epic start to their adult lives! When I think about all the money that I threw away on rent after I finished Uni, if only I had known about tiny homes back then!

      What an epic view. I think big I would have a hard time getting to work every day. I would be waiting to sleep in long enough to wake up to those views, a cozy, laid back breakfast/brunch. Then off to adventures at the coast, which must be close by, since they eventually want a boat.

    It looks very professional for a self build, especially the outside finish.
    They did a great job.👍😁
    However, I personally think that being able to see into all the corners while inside makes it feel smaller, not larger.
    Living in a tiny home seems so inviting though and such a pleasant way of life.

      Loved the home but it felt sterile and cold to me inside. A pup would liven it up. No art or family keepsakes or even just texture, AT ALL, other than the wood? Exterior had lovely texture and contrast, so I'd have to live on the deck, lol. At the least could photograph, frame and hang your stunning views. Those clouds!

    @magnoid 11 месяцев назад +18

    Bryce, and the Living Big team: You've featured a lot of tiny homes on wheels, which is great, but for some variety, do you think you could show some tiny-to-small homes that have foundations and are not mobile? It would be nice to see some variety because the tiny homes on wheels have very similar dimensions (and layouts) since they're building to a trailer footprint.

    • @livingbig
      @livingbig  11 месяцев назад +8

      For sure. We try to feature all kinds of homes. Our last two episodes were both now on wheels and we are always on the hunt for more.

    People dont realize how lucky they have it today (these people do). When I was a kid, unless you were into camping, these properties were not usable. Today with solar, battery storage, rain water harvesting, water filtration down to desalination, cell phones, starlink, Dish network, the list goes on and on of all the sources today that can help you make it happen. It dont even have to be a tiny house either. I know if I was 30 years younger I would find me a random island someplace and build a paradise.
