  • Meet Christo, a musician & DIY builder extraordinaire. He built a truly awe-inspiring tiny house on foundation using mostly reclaimed wood and salvaged & recycled materials. Initially, he planned to build on wheels but pivoted when the zoning of his land changed. This allowed him to build wider & taller, so he added an epic recording studio!

    When the zoning of his land changed, Christo turned lemons into lemonade. Instead of building a THOW, he built on a foundation. This allowed him to build wider & taller--perfect for adding an epic recording studio! He used mostly reclaimed wood and salvaged & recycled materials in a truly mind-blowing way. BTW, all the music in the episode is written & performed by him! 👉 *WATCH a succinct look at a high-quality tiny house build process & amazing park model tour:* ruclips.net/video/naf1OntFGr0/видео.html

    Christo is a true artisan. As a woodworker/cabinet maker, I can appreciate the amount of work that went into creating this house. The way he created the space, with the overall color scheme throughout, and the use of different wood species to create that color scheme is amazing and harkens back to the Craftsmen era. The way he designed the storage around the appliances is creative and awe-inspiring with its symmetry and balance. The most impressive home I have ever seen. I would take this home over any million-dollar mansion in a heartbeat!

    This has got to be one of the BEST tiny houses I have ever seen, because all the wood is different colors from really light or golden colors and then richer darker colors the home feels very spacious and contemporary, and so many nooks and crannies closets and storage areas, its just an amazing tiny house, this man is such a artist from DYI music instruments to building and design just such a talented person.

      Most tiny homes look very temporary to me. IMO, they’re just too small and have too many compromises for (most) people to live long-term. I realize that this one is on a foundation and able to be a touch bigger. But, this looks like the minimum size for a long term home.

    Christo, The truth is, you are a creative genius. You simply have no idea that you are. I bet throughout your life, everyone else seemed odd; you couldn't figure out why you were always unhappy with the people around you trying to place you into a box. Every single area of your home is a work of art. You should consider inviting others once a week to dinner outdoors. You'll get a chance to show off the kind of food you really wanted to create for others to experience when you were in the restaurant industry. Then, add some musicians to play your music. You would probably have a ball. Okay, ...maybe once a month.... invitation only. Thank you for inviting others to see your beautiful work. It was spectacular!

    I usually don't comment on these tiny home videos, but, this home just blew me away. All the woods used are so beautifully done. And he had a great story to tell. Thank you for sharing Christo. My grandfather built their little cabin in the U.P. of Michigan all by himself. Had himself a personal makeshift sawmill, back in the early to mid 1930's. It was my favorite place to be. Woods, a creek out back and a view of the lake out the dining room. It was small, two rooms. One was the eating, sitting and kitchen area. The other room had two full sized beds in it. Heated with a cast iron wood burner, along with the cast iron cook stove. So looking at your beautiful home sure brought back all the smells of woods and grandma cooking up fantastic food on that stove. Nothing like homemade bread out of one of those woodburning cook stoves.

    I'm a musician, and this is basically the tiny house I've been attempting to dream of the last several years--trying to figure out how a double loft might work, with the 2nd being for a recording studio. I just hadn't imagined it as beautifully as this guy did. At $80k, I could pull that off too in theory, but of course, that is his number cus he has the skill to build it himself. Damn I wish I had that skillset. I could totally live in a space like this and finally ditch the corporate life.
    I wonder how much this build would be if you factored in labor. But good lord, this place is perfect. And, unlike most other tiny homes, it has a full, actual kitchen, and real headroom in the lofts.
    I am going to watch this video regularly and frantically try to figure out how the hell I might pull something like this off.

For an additional cost they can finish the entire interior. I know a lot will even accept designs if you are interested in doing a double loft. Not sure how much carpentry you can do yourself, but I know most people can DIY the interior if they have a completed shell to work with. I know of people who have finished an entire 16'x40' place for less than 50k.
