Would you live in a house like this??
Watch the full episode here -> bit.ly/2GBRll3
But so much wasted space? By making each pod having a wing on each side as opposed to one, yoi've just massively increased usability inside it's existing footprint.
Channel 4 Living with curtains and actual stairs I would, but the architecture looks awful and has a stupid amount of head space
Heck no!
There is no information in this video on who designed or built this modular micro-house nor where you can buy it ??? and even if you clicked on watch the full episode link it will take to channel 4 amazing spaces main list where you need the brows and watch all episodes of all 8 series in order to find what you looking for if ever which counter intuitive and very frustrating ..
@@MrAlin311 a proof of concept would be a person or a family living in this🙄
If you injure an arm or leg you gotta chill in your kitchen until you're healed
Remember the bathroom is on the floor above and the staircase to that floor seems to be the worst of the flights in the structure.😂
'Vertical urban living on a nano scale' is an interesting way of saying 'glorified shed' 🤔
"bags of space" As in 4 plastic bags.
4 boil in the bag rice bags.
that’s just vandalism waiting to happen.
I thought that too. Those ribbons would end up all over the place.
Maybe in London, yes. But it would be fine in other countries.
Especially in a shit hole like London
@@Nick-xc4fy Not in any city in america
@@Nick-xc4fy no. Any where. And they won’t age well in sun and heat. It will look tacky
Doesn’t look very fire safe to me considering the kitchen is in the bottom pod and you’re stuck 3 pods up with nowhere to go.
Out the window I'll go.
That's the price to pay 😅 great idea
Just out ya big puff. You southern woofters man 😂
It would be better if it was just a normal box shape stacked in a normal way, when designing something that's supposed to be affordable dont focus so heavily on something that's visually intricate, the main focus should be function and security, this is supposed to be someones home where they feel safe and comfortable not a piece of art for everyone to pry at.
Indeed, he said it has to be tapered so that it can be cantilevered and my immediate question was ‘why is it cantilevered?’
How not to do a tiny house 🤦♂️
Has it come to this? Living in a cheap combustible shoe box?
😂🤣
Yes. Yes it has.
Yes, we are becoming china...plus this won't wk for anyone who's disabled...
Britain doesn't need tiny houses, it needs to address it's overinflated property market
I'm sure its just a London thing. Its a fucked up place
Hmm. Living room next to toilet.. No windows that open... smells like a great idea.😂😂 Where is the oven an fridge and freezer?
'Such a nice place', the bedroom is literally two pillows and 2 singular bed comforters on a slab of wood. I prefer an actual bed and matress thanks😂👌
What exactly did you expect for 30k in Central London?
And you only have to dissemble the whole house to get a desk or mattress in there...
Does it come with a complimentary package of antidepressants for as long as you live there?
That was awesome!
😂😂😂😂
Just fenezai
The problem is, the land that is on would cost £150k, at that point you may as well but something worth £100k on it
@Jenson Jenson have you been to London?
Came here to write this exact comment!
Those stairs don't add up to a good outcome for me after a few beers
I was just thinking that hahha
lol you have company over, you've been spending time in the kitchen, and you just decide to sleep on the first floor.
Splinters and nasty falls
With my weight, I don't think I would trust them!
breath testing. sorry sir, you're over the limit for ascending. please wait longer.
30g to live in a stackable shed complex
mmmmm,looks like a death trap to me.one way in one way out, made of combusrable materials kitchen directly underneath the living and sleeping pods nahhhh not for me.
@Robert Jerome this isnt america mate
@Robert Jerome what the fuck are you on... About ... You..... Fucking ... Paigon....
C. B looooool
Windows are an exit. Close enough to the ground to avoid damage from a fall
and where in Central London will you be allowed to plant these? This is a stupid design and won't even deliver on the question.
So i would dare the arquitects behind this to really go and live on one of this for 5 years. And then they can tell me what they still think about it.
my man said arquitects
@@lc4.50ppppp 😂😂😂😂
Look, it's fairly clear that this is a particular type of housing. Mainly it's suitable for youngish and fit people happy to live in a small and unconventional space. Many occupants might only be able to stick it for a year or two before moving on. But that's missing the point. It could widen the available options for housing and that's got to be a good thing. These ideas rarely seen to gain traction though. This vid is from 3 years ago and I haven't heard anything about this project since then.
I can see these working as holiday lets, but not full time dwellings.
Ribbon cladding sounds incredibly combustible
It's all good and well when it's just one unit. A bit of an oddity in the middle of a small park. Think hundreds stacked together. A shanty town. Also, think having the runs and have to climb or descend a step ladder to go to the loo...
And then someone decides to start a fire.....
I would definitely design it with a toilet on the bedroom floor. Oh, but then if you are in the kitchen, you have to climb two ladders for the toilet. It's a design made for agile people who like climbing.
It has nothing in it in this video. People have stuff, and generally quite a lot of it, you know, like, Clothes.
You’re a bit stuffed if you want to take a cuppa up to bed with you 👀
How exceedingly silly are these so called pods or micro-flats. People deserve decent places to live not shoe boxes.
Jeeeeez, this is ridiculous! Some people live in mansions or expand properties on the vertical such as blocks to allow for more space for people to live on the same patch of land, and the best house concept these people came with is a stack-up sardine ribboned box.
Great design. : sarcasm:
The windows won't open! If, for example, fire occurs during sleep, you will die before you reach the door.
Soundproofing? It's great to hear everything from the street.
Curtains? So the man who lives here will be a window dresser. Very tempting offer.
This box house in a forest would be good for a weekend cottage. For a few days.
Exterior decoration? Some drunk people will surely ruin the little "strings".
The bathroom is like a prison toilet.
Do building regs get considered? Or just an artistic exercise?
Beautiful inside and out. Great for a teenaged boy living in his mum's garden.
You'd think they'd start off with a rectangular base because they're easily stackable, more stable and if you're going to begin the cantilevering on the first floor, why the fuck wouldn't you start with a rectangle base?
And using triangles? They taper but this structure has no triangles.
Imagine thinking single-family fully detached homes is a space-saving solution. With windows on either side, to further limit where they can be placed for light or privacy.
Imagine coming back drunk and trying to climb up those steps to your bedroom
Impractical! If I fall sick, how can I do the steps to my bedroom?!!
Tinder box. If it catches fire, you are screwed.
Presumably, you can get it insured against fire.
Do you want Mega-City One? Because that's how you get Mega-City One!
Drokk! It's perfect for the Mutie's.
My knees hurt just looking at it. Plus, that bathroom is like public toilets, it’s just missing the collection of soiled sanitary towels and loo roll scattered artistically over the floor....
That's a child's play house and those ribbons would last about a day in London
"i could live here" - it would take one morning of being late to work to change your mind
2:40 That's not ergonomic when you have to mountain climb to your bedroom
The bathroom sort of reminds me of a prison cell
Filmed on the one sunny day a year in England
I love the idea and internal look of this space, but its just such an eyesore!
Not sold on this concept - need bathroom middle of night = climbing, cold day, that toilet seat looks chilly, forgot my socks = everest mountain climb to top. Too inconvienient after being designed to be convienient to move. Just design compact but proper homes for people?
If u fell/slipped off those stairs in the middle of the nite, u'd end up on the 1st floor and end up peeing all over urself...
Fine for someone who does not own anything. Not a book or a CD! Or even extra shoes!
What’s next living in a phone box 📦
If these catch on they'll become to new slums imagine working for a crazy amount of hours per week and that's what you get to come home to
So this is what it's come to, living in a 30k tree house...the future looks bleek if ur not wealthy...
It's been bleak for a long time
This the inevitable end result of selling off all the council houses on the cheap in the 80's & 90's & not replacing them.
I understand this is an architectural solution to a problem of extortionate housing prices, but how is it that prison facilities (at no cost!) give you more square footage and comfort? How is it that our perception of these tiny, inhumane space are amazement and brilliance? Is this not a clear signal of a housing crisis? The government needs to actually tackle this solution, as opposed to inflate it. Share/Help to buy have just inflated the market and caused unsustainable private debt! They should be introducing regional rent caps like they have done in Berlin to give first time buyers the slightest hope of saving. They should be exploring enacting legislations to hinder investment of property, whether overseas or internally.
If anyone wants an idea of what this will look like if it continues, in Hong Kong £350k gets you a 2m x 2m room!
If space is at a premium, then why would you make the pods alternate, you would still occupy the same verticle space.
If you are upstairs, don't eat too much, otherwise you can't fit in to get downstairs.
Student accommodation? How much is it per month/weekly?
@@eri7772 hahaah fucking idiot
This shit Is inhumane, prisoner's live better for free! Oh but it's the centre of London, or just move away from that mass immigration filled shithole where terrorists attacks and stabbings, moped robberies and acid attacks are happen at least once a day
I probably would live in this it’s not bad just how much is it?
I've been watching The Voice auditions, and then moved on. Then I heard the narrator and thought I clicked the wrong video and back watching one of those audition videos again.
Burglars will have a field day
Nah there’s no storage so all they can take is your ribbons😂
It's a human fly trap....and if ur living in this, u really won't have much that a burglar could steal/wouldn't be worth the effort....
This would be great if you live on the beach with one weather season. Where is the storage for ever changing weather in England..
How do you get a mattress into the bedroom? Looks like they just put sleeping bags on plywood.
Perfect for lockdown!
This is not micro. Visit single bed-size rooms in Hong Kong.
Such a dreamy nightmare 😅😅😅
show me where to buy never seen for sale ever
It's a no from me there could be shanty towns of these if they put them up tho
Considering many of the posts below, surely the point is that many people would be willing and able to live in a dwelling like this for some time. That itself may help offload demand on other housing sectors.
I'm lucky to be living where I do, but this really appeals. 👍👍
I doubt many people would be willing to live in a building like this for some time.A couple of nights and the novelty would be over and you'd want to go back to proper building.
Or you could just live somewhere that isn't London
Honestly couldn’t pay me to live back in London, moved from there to Cumbria a year ago and my life has improved tenfold.
@ it's actually like one of the worst places in the country let's be honest
Florence Faulkner yeah it’s definitely up there!
I live in the best place but not telling you where it is.
looks good
Feels way too claustrophobic.
Another good episode but
“George” I’m a Sunderland Lad also and Seriously you Really need to come up with another word for ABSOLUTELY!!!
There’s:-Perfect,Stunning,
wonderful,cracking,Superb,Amazing, etc etc but please use at least one of them other than ABSOLUTELY!😜
I lose count every episode on how many times you use it.
It’s even now a guess how many times George will say Absolutely!!
Tenants would only spend two days aweek in these mirco houses and flats because it's close to work.
You would definitely need more than 37 square metres to live because relaxing in a small space would have a negative effect on your health.
Yet micro flats of 7 square metres are now been built.
Its uncomfortable and forces tenants to rely on disposable items.
Relying on living spaces smaller than 37 metres makes life very expensive.
I coild see this on the edge of a forest, in a community, like a group of bungalow. In the city is just dangerous
I could deal with it as a holiday place but it’s just too small for a full life.
Your skrewed if u break an arm or a leg u cant even go to the bathroom
If you stopped blurring the video we might be able to see what you see
That staircase up to the bedroom looks terrifying...!
Just try to get planing permission for one ! Ha Ha Ha is what you hear
A shoe box made of wood. Plenty of ladders to get to each rabbit hole. Oh wait, it's valued at £30,000. Well that's okay, I'll let my cats move in instead, the exercise will be good for them as they love climbing ladders. Top room can be used as their litter box room. 😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's exactly what I was looking for. It suits my sleepwalking twice a week. 🤣
😂😂😂 or weak bladder
Thanks 👍🥰
How many people are physically capable of living in a house like this? Even if they are capable, how are they going to safely manage a middle of the night trip to the bathroom when they are not fully awake?
Awesome
Why??
If you're trying to actually house as many people as possible as cheaply as possible, with decent living conditions, your far better building prefab multistory apartment buildings. But of course the designer of this shoebox wasn't trying to make a practical solution, he was trying to make some work of art to show off how clever he thinks he is.
I rather make a home in a cargo container that can be loaded up and moved again rather then try to navigate this nightmare.
Fire hazard. 🔥
when boris jonson starts tier 10
Curtains?
What's Richie Kotzen doing in this 3 storey rabbit hutch? 🤣
yep that will be great in a gale !! go over like dominoes
It’s not for everyone and it doesn’t “solve” the housing crisis... but for those who CAN use it it’s an ingeniously efficient space and a very attractive addition to the tiny house phenomenon.
Let it be one option among many. An accessible option should be next!
Perhaps can be a holiday chalet-like in the outdoor surrounds by the lake, mountains, and forests in Norway, Iceland and Finland. Will be quite a good experience but not as a home. Not practical and the bathroom is a no-no.
Is the is an IKEA house?
Ouch i break my ankle, cant go to bedroom
30k for a frigging treehouse? And it's not even in the woods with some privacy. But instead you have the neighbors and walkers watching inside your bunker. No thanks.
I could not live like that 😩
Did you know there is a thing called camper van?
I think it's brilliant.
WOW!
Any follow up on the actual feasibility?
Ridiculous concept that turns a home from a place that you live in to somewhere you exist
If I were him, I would leave my shoes downstairs...LOL! going upstairs til the Bedroom with shoes???
I wonder how much it costs with the pandemic now
It looks like an incredible accommodation....for an oompa loompa. Even the presenter looks like a giant on that bed
