  • If you don't like the idea of climbing into a loft to go to bed, this may be the tiny house design for you. At only 24ft, it's amazing what this family have managed to fit into this home. One of the most unique features about this home is the bedrooms, with two available loft areas, this home also has a master bedroom which is located downstairs.
    This tiny house on wheels has everything a young family needs, including full-sized kitchen appliances and even a washer /dryer unit. Best of all, owning the home debt free allows this trio to focus on the things that really matter in life!

    As the owner of a two story house-this is the first tiny house video I’ve seen where I looked at the significantly smaller space and thought “I could actually live there.” First floor bedroom instead of those coffin sized lofts, stove with an oven, nearly full size fridge with laundry next to it, and a decent sized shower were the deciding factor. Well planned man, a great livable build. More tiny house builders should think like this man and his wife.

      MacyLouWho: I know where you're coming from. We're in our late 60's/early 70's, and have health problems, so for us, needing to use a ladder to access the loft would be a non-starter. On the other hand, we could manage without an oven as long as we had a good toaster oven. On the other other hand, there's a tiny home (read about it today) that has what looks to be a full-size kitchen, but the farmhouse sink is only 24" and the stove w/four burners is only 20" wide and has a pretty small oven. The owners had created enough space for two narrow-but-separate closet areas and a large-ish bathroom complete with a small claw-foot tub, which the owner had always wanted. Their tiny house also had 15 windows. I don't think there's any chance we'll ever end up in a tiny house, although the house in which we raised a child and in which we still live has 1BR and 1BA and 784 sq. ft, which is pretty small by today's standards. It was built in 1950, when many houses were this size.
      I think I like seeing all these genuinely tiny houses because I'm so impressed with all the ways people figure out how to get what they really want out of minimal space. I love enjoying their creativity. You might enjoy checking out micro-apartments in Seattle (google search will pop it right up for you) as well as another version of really tiny places in the "oldest US mall blends old/modern" spaces. Google for that one in the part I put in quotes. Do the same in-the-quotes search on this one for another totally different tiny apartment that appears to be three times as large as it really is. Do a search for "interior designer's ultra-clever compact city apartment." I don't know if I could live in it, but I have friends who would kill for it. Either way, it's really quite amazing.

      MacyLouWho I’m not trying to be nasty at all but just being a adult and serious. I always wondered how with those tiny bedrooms how couples could have sex I just don’t think I could. And don’t laugh at me this is a really serious question I just don’t see it working very well I just really don’t yes you have other parts of the house but still a couple is going to have sex that’s a duh thing but I just couldn’t handle my bedroom being that small I couldn’t

      Catherine Duell in America, it’s basically like you’re not living if you don’t have debt. When I finish university this May I will have about 35,000 in debt. And then I have about 8,000 for my car, which I needed in order to get to my internship. I got it when I was 19 and thought I needed to get an expensive car, because that’s just what you do.
      Once I pay everything off I’ll be looking into getting my masters. And then you’re supposed to get a house too.
      It’s just kind of how everyone expects you to live. I have been thinking of going against the grain and following the tiny house movement. Minimizing my life.
      It’s just hard because it’s so engraved in the American lifestyle

    I love that they put the kid's loft opposite their loft and not above them. It's a topic that never comes up when they talk about families in tiny homes, but adults have certain activities at night and I never understood how they would have privacy in an open loft with their kids straight across in the other loft. This setup seems perfect.

    Bryce, one thing I keep seeing missing from some of your vids is how did they acquire the land? Did they buy, rent, or travel around to camp sites? It may be a silly question, but that seems to me to be one of the biggest hurdles for a project like this is having the space to build in and live. Love your stuff, thank you for doing what you do!

      Most people simply find a bit of available land to rent. In the case of this family they are renting only a short drive out of downtown Asheville in an area which is a bit more rural and has lots of available land. Most people just ask around, find a place to park up, negotiate rent and then it's all good.

      Just watched this video, my design is very similar with a Murphy bed as the downstairs master bedroom/ office/craft room by day; also I told myself I wanted a 3' x 3' shower, small sink, compost toilet; expanding the bath for a duplex washer/dryer; my kitchen doesn't have a full stove, I am going convection oven and a 3 plate burner for cooking which is under counter, my fridge will be an apt size, the same as I have now in my about 400 sq ft house. My living in a small house has helped me design my own Tiny House. I also like his videos, he wants to share peoples experience, the backstory that I feel others don't have. I love Tiny Houses, I am hoping to find a community or create one for other Tiny House enthusiasts.

    I find most tiny house builds do not take growing families into consideration. This builder maintained a simple design idea, with long term space management and made a family friendly home. If you're still in contact with them, you should recommend the installation of an air exchanging unit which is helpful in the Carolinas. Moisture and air quality issues appear to be the one thing most tiny home owners overlook. Thanks for the vid!

      Keegan Durovich, the unit you see is the mini split, which is for heating and cooling. Air exchange units are similar to vents.They tend to be on opposite ends of the home/ space and alternate between intake and exhaust to improve moisture content/ air quality.

      Quinn Gaston-McDonald - Correct me if I'm wrong, but a tiny house shouldn't really be for a growing family. That would be irresponsible for a nuclear family to move into one of these. Saying a tiny house doesn't accomodate a large family is a total non issue, because that isnt what it's meant for.

    I love, _love_, LOVE this tiny house! It's just about perfect, from the inside out - almost exactly what I was looking for, as I have two boys who'd need their own spaces, plus a master bedroom. Love the exterior, the colour and the wood; love the interior layout, and the beautiful woods and artistry used. The tiniest of changes I would make would be a different door, a change of interior wall surface, and lighter coloured ceiling in the bedroom. But those are simply a matter of taste, and not a mark against the quality or design of this build - otherwise it's perfect! And so impressed that you were able to keep the budget so reasonable, even keeping in mind that doesn't include most of the labour!!!

    1. Most City, Town and Home Owner Association (HOA aka the Nazis) won't let you park or live in a tiny house. How did you ended up here on this piece of land?
    2. If you rent this land, how's it going so far with the renter especially if they also live on this land.
    3. If you're not 100 percent off grid, tell us about your electricity, water, sewer and wifi setup.

I wish they talked about where the water came from, how they heat it, and electric source. I'd love to know how much land they are on, are they going to plant a garden? Looks pretty shady. I wonder what elevation or if they get snow in the winter? One end had a part that bulged out, I'm not sure what was in there. This carpenter is so cool, he's like "I'm a carpenter, this is what I do, I don't get what the big deal is, anyone can do this". No, I can't not by myself anyway.

The fact you can tow it and then travel anywhere you want is great.

You save in food and cook from scratch.

      FlowerGrower Smith People used to hang their wash out years ago, but it fell out of favor. I remember as a small child in the 1970's my mother hanging wet wash out on a line. She stopped doing it because she said it was too much work. Also, many newer neighborhoods and subdivisions have rules against people hanging their wash out to dry-it is not allowed. I can tell you why-it is thought to make the neighborhood look bad.

      People do, but what about when it rains for two weeks continuously? I saw one where instead of a dryer there was an interior hanging area plus dehumidifier, and thought that was pretty smart. Tiny houses do sometimes have humidity problems, so the dehumidifier served two functions.

      FlowerGrower Smith that washer dryer combo is ventless. The dryer spins to dry the clothes. Also the Smokey mountains is a moist rainforest like weather in the spring/summer which makes it difficult to completely dry clothes outside. When and IF it is nice out with low humidity I do hang my clothes to dry.

      Maybe because it is none of our business, and nothing a smart person would post for the entire world. Many have to live "stealth," and all it takes its one nosey neighbor to get the bureaucrats to pay a visit. They can share a mailbox with the landlord or rent a PO or UPS box. House taxes? What house? It's technically an RV if you leave the wheels on. Until local councils recognize the tiny house as a legitimate, livable Residential structure with a Certificate of Occupancy (in the US), people will have to fly under the radar. That's why most of these people do NOT get specific about exactly where they live.

    Brilliant idea to put bedroom downstairs instead of having to climb upstairs which can be dangerous. Beautiful!!

    I loved this home and the couple that built it. He is so capable. I hope they love living there.

    Wow, that master bedroom though, great idea putting it at floor level don't think I ever saw anyone else do it. Very smart.

    I’m designing my tiny house and I also really want the bedroom on the main floor, this is probably the best example for me on how that would look and it’s honestly amazing.

    This is the best floor plan I’ve seen of any tiny house. Wow.
