This is probably one of my favourite tiny houses. The clay just feels and looks fabulous and it looks spacious . Not to mention the greenhouse. Absolutely fab. Well done guys.
Smart Couple. They seem to be made for one another. Its so pleasant to see couples who are kind and considerate to each other. When you dont put a fortune into a house, you are free to do so many other things.
It’s so cool that they can literally pack up and move their entire set up somewhere else. Once there, they can then do additional modifications because it’s designed to be tweaked without major demo. That’s so much more logical. It would be cool to see their finished home project in the future. I love this show. It leaves me feeling inspired by the younger generation.
Wow the use of clay and the water and urine solutions for watering the ‘inside/outside room’ and the inside outside room are next level thinking for those who cannot build a classic Earth Ship! Great work. Shows you what is possible whatever your energy, time and budget? Thank you for sharing. Go well All
i love this couple and their house. we turned our back garden into a veg garden during lockdown but i wish i could have a green house attached to the house
Since I didn't see any solar panels or water catchment systems I'm gonna assume they're not off grid? After living on a boat this place must feel like a mansion. I'm always impressed when people have the confidence to undertake things by simply watching RUclips videos.
@@itsBIGTIMMYC There's honestly not much snow in Denmark these days, seeing as there's very little snow in far southern Sweden either. Think we had like 3 weeks of snow this winter, if even.
Tiny houses are 13.5 feet tall. I think people are always set on lofts, but there is an opportunity to have one level with 30 inch high crawlspace storage. And room for Eddy Munster overnight. 😂
'Friland' is a designated society/community where people can build experimental homes. It is laid out from the beginning to be on grid. Most electricity in Denmark are from wind (and most heat from district heating from clean incineration of trash).
Such a lovely home. The greenhouse makes it for me! I think this home and the one you did years ago - the house was inside a green house - are 2 of my favorites. Thank you for providing us with continuously wonderful content.
It is almost impossible to live 100% off the grid all year round in Denmark. Some do it in the summer, for example in an allotment house, but you are not allowed to live there in the winter. In Denmark, there are many regulations and environmental laws that must be complied with with regard to waste, sewage conditions and water. These conditions must be in order. There are solutions that can be installed and make it almost possible to be off grid in relation to water, electricity and sewage. But these solutions can be expensive to install. Therefore, some live off grid in Denmark illegally, others circumvent the laws by settling in another person's backyard.
wonderful place!!! i loved the simple, fairly open design. and i LOVED the clay wall treatments! yes! i think it's so smart to have the greenhouse attached.
A lot of smart choices. Love how they also had made it easy to change and be flexible. Even easy to add an extra structure if they wanted more space later depending on the size of the lot of course.
Yes I don't think this house would be allowed on a regular plot of land in Denmark but maybe they got a better plot in Friland. It's an eco village where people are allowed to build differently and experiment. The challenge with tiny houses is often where to put them - same is true in Denmark
This is a simple, sober earthship without all the hippy dippy bad taste. If you put a tent on the flat roof, you would have more space, it would provide more insulation and offer more protection from the spaces in the back. Great stuff, thanks for posting. Regards
In my opinion this is the aim of building small, to live as sustainably as possible , to recycle , upcycle , improvise and to build a home that utilizes simple technologies to construct a home that is healthy and safe to live in.
@@Brian-jv8iy Tiny House has never been, except for being smaller than a normal sized house, defined precisely, meaning that everyone can have his/her own interpretation of what a proper Tiny House is. That's good.
Denmark is *worse* The land zone, i.e. the country side, is the easiest place to get something done with the least amount of red tape (legislation and other rules).
Lovely concept. The only question that I have is the well and plumbing situation. When they move they will obviously have to disconnect the water works and reconnect to another well. This is the same for the electricity.
If you ask me, he did the right thing when in school living on his own boat. Why throw away rent money. and then later, start off small and then build addon's. Also gardens, growing your own food is becoming more and more the way of the future...until the next one !!
I really love the concept of having a green house. Free heating, double the size of the house, and sitting 'outside' most of the year. Like bringing Bali to Denmark. Is there any info on the neighbouring house though? I love the veranda but also wonder how they will move the house when the plot is no longer available.
This will be fascinating to follow up on in 5 or 10 years, especially after they move and if they have a few kids and build an addition. I can imagine a 2-story addition arranged in a T or L at the back of the house where they have their stairs and loft. You would need 3 bedrooms (masters bedroom, girls' bedroom and boys's bedroom big enough for bunk-beds), probably a 2nd bathroom and some sort of living room / play room area. The existing house would probably become the kitchen/dining/laundry area.

1st In Denmark, you would has to be the owner of a plot to do the following, 2nd On the country side, which is called the "land zone", you will need at permission to put something on the ground, house, outhouse, barn. Basically everything who is going to be a permanent structure. An unused permission expires after 5 years. If your has building(s) who aren't yet constructed, you would to has to get a new landzone permission. 3rd A building permit After you had got that permission, you can start building. An unused permission expires after 1 year, i.e. because you hadn't yet started building e.g. the house. 4th a permission to live in the house: This is needed because the municipality are legally required to control that the building codes are adhered to. This prevents e.g. a building from collapsing in e.g. the first hurricane, because of sloppy work during construction, or the workers did something differently which makes the building dangerous for everyone in and around the building. The permission is only needed once. All tnew owners of the house doesn't need that permission with the exception of the house becomes a ruin, e.g. the house had burned to the ground.
@@YellinUpAStorm Hi! The reason we do that is due to Clay abilities to create a healthy indoor climate, by regulating temperature and humidity. It's also better for people with allergies 😊
@@RVBadlands2015 that is great to know the next time there is a outdoor water ban, I will just ask all my neighbors to leave me buckets of their urine and my veggies will be well through a dry spell
Surely someone can build one of these environmentally-conscious "earthships" that doesn't also look like a pile of trash? Haven't seen one yet, but I assume it must be possible.
You're promoting a very valuable culture Kirsten ,
may the force be with you sister .
This is probably one of my favourite tiny houses. The clay just feels and looks fabulous and it looks spacious . Not to mention the greenhouse. Absolutely fab. Well done guys.
Finally an example from denmark! love it, very spacious and cohesive space. The greenhouse + clay walls work really well together
Smart Couple.
They seem to be made for one another.
Its so pleasant to see couples who are kind and considerate to each other.

No kids yet so they can "focus" on each other. Hehe.
I like the greenhouse directly off the house idea
Me too, I have a winter garden planned
Kirsten and company really get around. Thanks for showing everyone a better way to live all over the world.

this couple are speaking my language! yeah! simple, smart doesnt need to cost 1 million or a half a million.
Such a Beautiful space and hope their new plot of land is just as wonderful. Thanks for Sharing
No children so you know they have lots of "free time".

It would have to be a generator or on grid due to the snow in winter (I'm assuming as the only panels I saw were on neighboring houses)

They have a cat and watch Futurama so I approve 😂, kidding aside, I love the greenhouse idea ❤
Very cool, that green house is a game changer. Love that they thought about expanding as well.
Dream living space, thank you for sharing it with us 🙏
Totally agree great innovation. Earthship on a budget!
So cool of you guys to come and feature Denmark.
ohhh my gosh!!! ths is the greatest tiny I've come across. Awsome achievement
wonderful place!!! i loved the simple, fairly open design. and i LOVED the clay wall treatments! yes! i think it's so smart to have the greenhouse attached.
This is great. I mean you can actually spend less on building a house and spend more on buying a piece of land that you love.
Makes sense! Good observation. Also I’m wowed by the Earthship design on a budget….. :)
A lot of smart choices. Love how they also had made it easy to change and be flexible. Even easy to add an extra structure if they wanted more space later depending on the size of the lot of course.

I wonder what they do about all the moisture that greenhouse produces. I love the idea, but I'd worry about mould.

How do you get pollination without bees in your face?
How can you legally move to a plot? Please explain!!!
