As an Air B&B for short-term stays, this place is fantastic! As a long-term living arrangement, though, it doesn't work. The lack of a bathroom sink, as you mentioned, is going to make this place very inconvenient, but that kitchen is also completely impractical. Sure, if you're on vacation, you can maybe go out and eat at the great restaurants in the area, but for day-to-day living I can't imagine having to eat out every day. There is also very little in the way of storage compared to other tiny houses--this would require massive downsizing. I do like the fact that there is no loft for the bedroom, though.
Completely agree, you couldn't live here full time, no storage, where would you put pots and pans etc, it's nice to go out and eat but it's not practical every day, unless you can afford to just eat out or order takeaway. I always think places like this are designed by men lol.
I agree 100%. Extensive studies have been done on how people use their houses. All of these studies support the fact that the kitchen is the most used, most consistently occupied room in the house. So, why do kitchens occupy such a small percentage of the total square footage? I never understood that. Plus…they say kitchens and baths sell houses. The comments about this house seem to support that. Nice vacation home, however!
Please make more vids on people in early retirement, specifically those living frugal lives WITHOUT unusual homes -- I really loved the one about the couple in Vancouver living below their means and the one about the guy retiring at 39.
We downsized last year to a 38' sailboat w. a 12.8' beam. Best decision ever. Marina slip rates include water & electricity. We have a laundry on site/pumpout for black water & a pool!! Great for budgeted living. aaannddddd...BONUS..our home can take us around the world!
Nice design in general, but for me, the lack of a sink in the bathroom is a deal breaker. They could have added a flip-down sink or recessed sink into the wall. But now you either have to turn on the shower or touch the door to get out and use the kitchen sink. I prefer bathroom germs to be separated from kitchen germs.
Also, people with periods will want a sink in the bathroom. People with a chronic disease with their digestive system will want a sink in the bathroom. What if you party too much and you are sick in the toilet? A sink in the bathroom to brush your teeth asap and wash your hands would be nice. Yep. The no-sink is a deal breaker for me too.
Very chic and well done! How far can you go with it? Does the terrace make the boat tilt? Beautiful and practical design for couch and bed. Is it expensive to rent a space at the marina ? A dream boat!!!!!
Nice for an Airbnb or vacation spot but not practical for living in full time. I love the couch pull out. Great idea to use velcro on the armrests. I don't like couches that don't have a place to put your arms and many of the pull out couches don't have any.
That's because there is hardly any furniture. I would also question having an aircon unit right above the tv, I have known these units to leak when faulty, water and electrics!
@@dianeyoung2914 I agree with th a/c above the TV. But as for the furnitures, keep in mind it’s a small space, just like a tiny home, you wouldn’t put many furnitures. Buyers would be well aware of such situation.
I like the homes, they are cute and convenient but I always think about pets when I see these homes on water and other tiny homes. I'm a dog lover and pet owner & I wonder where would you keep your doggie and where to take them out to do their pet business? Also afraid of them jumping into the water and drowning. But for a person who lives a surfer beach type lifestyle this is more for you or for someone in travel mode. The pricetag is probably hefty as well. Something I'm not able to afford but I think they are cute. ❤
on bathroom no sink: im surprised most ppl dont do how the japanese does it. japan have toilets where the top part of the tank is the sink. so when washing your hands the water goes into the tank, then the water in tank goes into the toilet when flushing. it saves space and maintain how you use water.
Wonderful water cabin!!! I recommend pronouncing it Bowhouse, as in German design reference😅 Thank you for a lovely exploration. Getting out in the kayaks must be a fantastic feeling❤
Nice design..but laundry could make it handwaah with portable pool ot the spa pool... purchase drying shelf will do.coz it's still hv lots of space upstairs or sideways
Initially very attractive, but not very practical. The kitchen area is hardly big enough for one person. The cushions on the couch would move around when slept on I think. There's not enough storage space, and the lack of a sink in the shower room is a problem. Apart from all that, erm...very nice. 🤣😊
Aesthetically beautiful home. And you can't beat the setting. No question about it. But completely impractical. No real storage to speak of. Pretty much non-existent kitchen. I've seen so many tiny homes on other channels where with the same dimensions pack so much more into a home that one could actually live in full time. If this home were not on the water, where one is distracted by the beauty of that, I think people would notice its shortcomings much more.
That's a nice place. Right up to the inevitable day a hurricane or hard storm totally destroys it. There are better places to live even on other bodies of water and ways to live almost immune to nature's fury.
Id love this, but not paying for it. That said, the home itself is affordable, just not the location. Fortunately my family had docking and dredging rights to have our own dock to tie off our boats onto. But our neighbors who were not waterfront but owned sailboard or outboards had to pay an annual fee for a dock slip at the neighborhood pier. They started at like $6000 a month.....this concept is not one for people looking to save. Maybe on a case by case basis you could negotiate a long term dock slip rental rate, but I can confidently predict it would far exceed the cost of the home in the long run.
Because its expected that the type of upper class women who would buy this is also the type who would install a mirror on the wall of their tiny “home”. I just get the impression these are supposed to move in ready.
@@lungeranon7645 I hardly think move in ready necessarily means minor amenities. Don't women also like to be the ones to make style choices? A mirror might also be considered a decorative item after all. So, decorate.
Just saw the prices for the homes. And with the amount they are charging (379,000) I could just buy a 4 bedroom 3 bathroom home with plenty of land LOL Safe to say this business will die off in a few years
Thanks for checking out the video and the Bauhaus website! It looks like the exact model featured in the video isn't currently listed on their website, but the float home on their website that sells for $379,000 CAD is a larger model (almost 2x the square footage) and seems to come with engine, navigation, solar, etc. all included. Hope that helps!
There is small, there is tiny and there is ridiculously small... Nothing bad about the concept, nor the design, but... Good luck to the wanna bees!! I hope you will really enjoy!
Y'all are using this as a sales model to sell them to folks for full time living or rental investment of some kind. These are the ways you missed the mark: 1a) Kitchen - As a temporary rental...maybe. A renter would have tell folks that the 'Kitchenette' only has a microwave and a cooler size fridge. A potential buyer might not be adjacent to a nice little area with restaurants. Plus some folks NEED to cook their own food, even on vacation. 1b) Kitchen - as a full time home...not a chance. It's too small, no where to cook, and only a bar size fridge. The vast majority of people will not have the funds to eat out all the time, or even want to for that matter. 2) Bathroom - No sink. You are expecting folks to either use the toilet with the door open or to use it then touch the door handle. This is a huge, huge, HUGE cleanliness issue. Lose the robes on the wall, seriously. Put in a small rectangular sink, hanging towel ring, a mirror, and a small shelf for, um stuff, plus a small waste bin. 3) Bedroom - Too small for full time living, it's just too tight. Just an exposed hanging rod for clothes would probably work for a rental, but not as a home. Other than the under the (nice) couch & the almost nonexistent cupboard space in the kitchen, the bedroom is the only place that has ANY storage. For a short term rental, this is fine, as a full time home...ah NO. You're trying to sell a pretty view as part of the package, I get it...and so are prospective buyers. The downstairs outside patio space comes at a huge price, it's costing the living space needed inside.
I'm surprised bauhaus isn't trademarked... considering it's the name of a architectural movement. If it's factory built it's a good idea. .... it's really small.
Where are you supposed to cook? These homes aren't meant to stay there so it doesn't matter how close YOUR restaurants are. not to mention who wants to eat out all the time? Awful design for normal people.
Hi! This is a rental model for a short staycation. There are several restaurants and shops within walking distance of the location. For our sales models, we can adapt to the needs of our customers.

Question: these are "tryout" models. When you do a reglar build, will you adjust to allow for clothing & more significant storage like food & linens?
I tried to sign up for the newsletter But it kept telling me that I was putting in the wrong number???

I agree to everything you said. The kitchen is a little nook. A person can not live comfortably there.

Very close. Mobile homes. Caravans. Tents have to be at least 12 feet between units. ..
Please make more vids on people in early retirement, specifically those living frugal lives WITHOUT unusual homes -- I really loved the one about the couple in Vancouver living below their means and the one about the guy retiring at 39.
Thanks so much for your comment and feedback :) Moving forward we will definitely be trying to cover different topics including frugal/budget living.

What’s so bad about using the shower nozzle?
Uses more water to start up and will splash your outfit or your guest's outfit because it is not enclosed.
There are greywater operated toilets that have sinks over the tank. That would have been a nice design here.
@@lawrenberghanson4401 bonus wet floor
Very chic and well done! How far can you go with it? Does the terrace make the boat tilt?
Beautiful and practical design for couch and bed. Is it expensive to rent a space at the marina ? A dream boat!!!!!
Hello Beautiful how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Very nice. I offen thought of putting a small mobile home on the deck, but then there's the question of the gray and black water. Thanks for posting.
Nice for an Airbnb or vacation spot but not practical for living in full time. I love the couch pull out. Great idea to use velcro on the armrests. I don't like couches that don't have a place to put your arms and many of the pull out couches don't have any.
@Nature's Infinite WELLth a lot of the couches in tiny houses are so uncomfortable looking.
thank u for make my day better
I think they succeeded to make good use of space. It’s meant to be a small boat home, but it doesn’t seems cramped; it’s open, bright and airy
That's because there is hardly any furniture. I would also question having an aircon unit right above the tv, I have known these units to leak when faulty, water and electrics!
@@dianeyoung2914 I agree with th a/c above the TV. But as for the furnitures, keep in mind it’s a small space, just like a tiny home, you wouldn’t put many furnitures. Buyers would be well aware of such situation.
Perfect. Only thing is bathroom needs its own sink.
Great for vacation, not for long-term living.
Wow, I love it...❤
Well done looks like a great place for a holiday 🎉
Thanks :)
If you're thinking of sleeping there overnight, think again. Your life will be in danger
Wow. That floating tiny home was truly beautiful ❤
Thanks :)
I hope this really takes off for these guys. It's a great idea.
The bed is ingenious
Well done !
Look comfortable, sophisticated & aesthetic.
Beautiful build! I love the color of the door and cabinets!
Thank you!!
They could have put in a sink/toilet combination like the ones used in Japan.
Very nice!
I love this!
Lovely!! Great idea for flexibility on water, trailer or foundation.

You guys want to send one of these to Seattle? I could test it out for a year....
Outstanding!✨💯
10' width of living space is the sweet spot IMO.

A nice house boat it's so Tranquil to be on the water.
But no vanity basin
You had me at tiny floating home.
Hello Susan how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Beautiful home! ❤
For a short Term Rental - Yeah, but Long Term living the kitchen is a laugh !
Wonderful water cabin!!! I recommend pronouncing it Bowhouse, as in German design reference😅
Thank you for a lovely exploration.
Getting out in the kayaks must be a fantastic feeling❤
haha thanks Tina! There's definitely a French spin on the pronunciation happening :D
I‘d actually recommend pronouncing it like the "ou" from ouch and then add a B at the beginning and house at the end. So it’s b-ou-house
@@strangersontheinternet right, as in bow wow, like a dog says in the US, of course 🐶
Hello Tina how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Nice, feels more spacious than many over-sized German houses here.
Really? These oversized German houses dont even have sinks in the bathrooms?
Awesome job
NICE💯💯💯💯
Nice design..but laundry could make it handwaah with portable pool ot the spa pool... purchase drying shelf will do.coz it's still hv lots of space upstairs or sideways
Can't you make them for Florida please ❤
Absolutely amazing
Very very beautiful. Life is just a dream la la la 🎶
Hello Mary how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Can one of these be transported to the US?
Good question! We’re not sure but you can reach the company here: www.bauhaushabitat.com/en/

haven't seen a boat build that tries to be light weight - wouldn't losing weight improve buoyancy or improve the space you would have available.
Is there a company that builds a floating house for cruising the Great American Loop ❓
That is a huge consumer market 😮
what is the material for construction
Absolutely incredible!!

It's a lovely design and space but I'm disappointed that you didn't leave the dock, we need to see it move
That's a nice place. Right up to the inevitable day a hurricane or hard storm totally destroys it. There are better places to live even on other bodies of water and ways to live almost immune to nature's fury.
I wish these houses had solar panels, a full kitchen with a full size fridge and oven, and at least 3 bedrooms.
I ❤ this and I want one 👍
Id love this, but not paying for it. That said, the home itself is affordable, just not the location. Fortunately my family had docking and dredging rights to have our own dock to tie off our boats onto.

The perfect home.
As a woman I would want some sort of mirror above the sink (which is in the kitchen) or another space to do my makeup and cosmetic routine.
How can that be an issue to bring up? Mirrors can be easily purchased anywhere.
Because its expected that the type of upper class women who would buy this is also the type who would install a mirror on the wall of their tiny “home”.
I just get the impression these are supposed to move in ready.
@@lungeranon7645 I hardly think move in ready necessarily means minor amenities. Don't women also like to be the ones to make style choices? A mirror might also be considered a decorative item after all. So, decorate.
Oh, I need to get me one of these
If an IKEA designer sees this video they will steal that sofa/bed design. Guaranteed!
I love solutions for housing, this however is far too expensive at 150k starting price
It's nice and the layout is ok but no sink in the bathroom. One should be able to wash their hands. Thanks Matt and Danielle ❤️
Hello Cathy how are you doing hopefully you are doing good??
Brilliant!!!
Ooh I want one!

No. Went to the website. What ridiculous pricing.
Nice design, but need a bathroom needs a sink, a kitchen needs a stovetop, and bar stools are uncomfortable for many people.
There is small, there is tiny and there is ridiculously small...
Nothing bad about the concept, nor the design, but...
Good luck to the wanna bees!! I hope you will really enjoy!
Dope!
No burners to make soup?
Cool❤
I could live here full time. Beautiful! Does this monsieur come with the house too? JK! Bisous!
haha :)
The most important problem of such houses is the lack of security. When you sleep in this house/boat you will never be safe, your life is in danger.
Send me one to try out in 🇦🇺 please 😂❤❤
Would still like a washer/dryer and a bigger fridge. Think that's the only thing missing.
Wait until you find out how much it costs to maintain a boat, then this idea isn't so cute. I will stick to my rv.
yes, this is cute, but why does it cost 400k? I can buy a completely normal house for half of that in most states. It's a rip off

No shade
Главное якорь по длиннее.
Build it for 35,000.00, sell it for 379,000.00. The quality just isn't there.
There is no sink in the bathroom? Where do you wash, brush your teeth?
This is a serious for me.
Hello Helen how are you doing hopefully you doing good?
Kitchen is horrible and no sink in bathroom is impractical 😢
I will buy this house. Contact me.

worth it.
