In this weeks episode we visit Nicola and Arron, a dynamic young couple who have some big dreams for the future, that have been made possible thanks to a tiny house.
So many young people have given up on the idea that they will ever be able to own their own home. In cities like Auckland, where the average house price is over 1 million dollars and climbing fast, many see their dreams of home ownership moving further from reality.
Thankfully, with a little creative thinking, there are still ways to get started on the housing ladder and this innovative young couple decided to get out of the rent trap by purchasing a pre-loved tiny house so they could start paying off their own home and begin saving money to purchase land.
Their tiny home is incredibly clever in its design. It’s spacious, with more than enough room for the couple and with an abundance of storage. Throughout the home there are super clever design features, such as the innovative office loft, and ultra clever pull-out stairs. The entire centre floor of this home opens up into an abundance of additional storage space, and dual french doors ensure the home has an abundance of light and connection to the outdoors.
Nicola and Arron have big dreams for their future and plan on one day living on a stunning sustainable property surrounded by fruit trees. Every month they purchase a new fruit tree together a a reminder of the dreams they share and the goals they are working towards. This tiny house is an essential part of that, as they are now able to live in their own home which will soon be paid off and enable them to begin saving for land.

We hope you all enjoy this weeks video! It's so inspiring to see how tiny homes are helping young people accomplish their dreams in life. I absolutely love their vision of starting an orchard and how they are already collecting the trees. We can't wait to visit this home again future to see it once it's all set up!

''Tiny House Affords Young Couple Big Future Dreams''
i tried to read it and what the hell the way you put that together haha..
Beautiful house 🌷
It's just amazing👍😍🤩
Ooh boy we're getting to a place where people are buying tiny houses second hand! That is amazing news for the tiny house market and something I would totally consider
With time maybe the price of tiny house will go up!
Defeit the purpose isn't it?
People escape to adopt tiny house initially bcos its affordable and dont have to serve the bank loans.
Foziah Ramli as I said in another thread,
A mortgage is 30 years
Lot rent is forever
A home grows in value
A trailer will never
I bought mine second hand almost 2 years ago 😊
In the south island of New Zealand
Nothing like buying tiny house and moving back on your parents plantation
@@foziahramli3001 lol that's not the main purpose actually. the main purpose is it's better for the environment and lets people live a minimalist lifestyle
"Young couple" and "affords" in the same sentence!? In 2020!? It's a miracle!
🤣😂
check @1:00. They just built a shack behind their parents mansion and called it their home. They probably go into the main house to take a shower or when the bugs during summer are too overwhelming.
And they are such a lovely couple to booth?
@@user-ix6qr5if5y wow they’re so blessed I’m jealous 😭
@Charlie Pryde They bought it used.
His parents the king and queen of Auckland? That house is massive
can i have that parking spot as well please
Haha my thoughts exactly lol 😆 🤣
Isn't it huge! I love that he said he never wants to live in a 'normal sized house' again
It's like an anti tiny house, house.
Must be from all those honeys
huge garden and BEEKEEPING!!??? what power couple is this!?
I know, right? Awesome 👍😊
It's on the parents land
I love ferns and bromeliads. This is sooo great. Plants don't do well in a cold wind...tropical plants need warm damp weather
@@jmk1962 that is good
Ugh. Buying a fruit tree every month is such a beautiful tradition!
It really is!
They are such an adorable couple!
Barf in my mouth when I heard that rubbish
So cool indeed
@@fireboltaz Ok, that made me laugh what you wrote, but to their credit, at least it is something that will bear fruit later. But Seriously folks, I thought it was cute. I'd switch to every year but that is me.
Let’s just say the obvious; they’re SUPER CUTE.
Just about to comment ha, So Cute!
They really are🥰
The honeymoon stage
the stairs is really a show off 😍 can't blame her for being proud of that 😀 I loved how it is built..such a brilliant idea.
I certainly liked seeing those “stairs” in action
9:25 He just had to sneak that in LOL
it wouldn't be an episode without it
LOL
It's really cute that the guy clearly dotes on her! 💖
The toilet thing?
Haha I love it 😂 its the reality of relationships sometimes.
It definitely helps to have a double income and free family land to park on and save for your own land one day.
Why are you assuming that because it's on family land its free????
They said right at the start that they pay their parents board.
That’s what my fiancée and I are doing - we’ve had our own small house made on my partner’s parents’ property and we pay a small rent fee plus our own amenities. We’re saving up for our own property 😊
This is a fantastic design, I love the raised floor with storage! The hidden staircase, the huge kitchen, the double doors! This young couple are doing everything right, buying a home they can afford, living in the parents yard, (something that was common amongst my friends in the 1980s), paying off their mortgage then saving for their land. I had trees in pots too, waiting for our own land to plant them in. When we moved, I took cuttings and seedlings of my trees to my current home.
This house has some brilliant space saving ideas. However the parking space is what makes the difference, not everyone has parents with big property like this
Good thing there are rv and trailer parks so you can stop being a crybaby
@@tonyak2446 true but you pay rent there right?
@@tonyak2446 and you wouldn't have such gardening space in an RV park.
Luckily, that's how they're saving for their own property. I love that Arron said he never wants to live in a 'normal sized house' again. If that's where he grew up, that's an amazing statement to make.
Who cares? This is what worked for them lol
I’ve noticed all the tiny houses don’t have screens to blockout insects 🐜 I couldn’t imagine building a tiny without screens specially in Australia.
Yeah, even in New Zealand it's becoming more common for insect screens to be put into homes, but our doors and windows don't come with them standard like they do in the USA.
@@livingbig I want to live in New Zealand, sounds like you guys don’t have a big insect problem like Australia and plus you guys have the best Prime Minister 🖤
@@Nur-dh1ju best PM for anyone who is not a kiwi
Sandflies! I was covered in bites. Milford Sound was worth it though!
@@XJLCA Amen.
living in a tiny house on their parents land is a good start for a young couple, they have their own house to take care of, they can learn to live on the money they have coming in, but they are close to parents if they need help, or if the parents need their help.
and, you should keep this video in mind if you make another storage idea video.
Oh, they are so adorable together.... it makes me want to cry!! And what a lovely home - the stair design is brilliant! I wish them both long life and happiness in their wee home.
Aren't they just!
Thank you Jackery for sponsoring - yes, we do stay to watch your ad b/c we appreciate having Living Big In A Tiny House channel.
Thanks Greg!
Same. For channels I really appreciate, like this one, I view the ads in their entirety.
I like how they saved money by buying it second hand. “Like new” but with a smaller price tag.
MUCH smaller - if his parents (2:59) waived their paying for the land. How many have an opportunity like that?
@@Django44 just about everyone featured on this channel
My fiancée and I did something very similar - we got an old flat on wheels from a retirement village for $3,000 and built extra rooms off it with cool room panelling. Had to replace some of the old mouldy floor and in-built cabinets, but all up it was $20,000 for a 48 square metre home for us plus our friends when they visit. We’re renting cheap on the property of my partner’s parents while we save up for our own property.
Very interesting. The house is like a combination of many great ideas we've already seen separately in other houses. I saw such stairs before, the floor doors for storage, the two huge doors on both sides of the house for example, the hole in the loft for legs so it's comfy to sit at the desk.
Yes, those were all the things I took note of. Great to see them combined. The foot well had a nice additional touch - being part open and with support for your feet, as well as being able to put things on the shelf to pick up upstairs.
This particular design hit the market in Sept 2017, so maybe some of those design ideas were inspired by this one, haha
Totally agree! And its beautiful!
Such a LOVELY couple, they seem like a perfect match for each other. I wish them a ... LIFE LONG story book romance.
That pull-out stair design is my favorite so far! I love this couple’s story, and the house is so cozy’.
Yeah I've never seen that before.
Many of my favorite things combined in one tiny house...💛 Brightness, greenery, huge windows and a lovable partner... 💚
it really looks bigger from inside than what you would expect from outside
lots of glass.
I didn't know you had a book. I'll have to check it out. Looks like you're coming up on 4M subscribers! Awesome Sauce!
Thanks! And yup, it's super exciting to see almost at 4 mil!
@@livingbig I was able to order the book on Amazon and will get it in early December! I'm so excited. 😎
Those stairs, awesome
This makes me want to start a Tiny House movement in JA. Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲
What a great idea! You should totally do that 😃
Girl same thought process but we would need so many open minded persons, and great builders🤔🇯🇲
J.A. would be perfect for it - get a few people together and buy some land and create a tiny house community!🇯🇲
@@janinafisher101 i would be down for this what area?
@@ms_breexo Jamaica has great builders. Ppl use to have one room house. So these tiny would be great. Because it has everything. Under one roof.
Always watching your video to make me feel better in these times of pandemic.
Thanks Dave!
@@livingbig wow thanks for recognizing me by the way Iam from the Philippines.
Living tiny should be normalized in the Philippines!! haha
Same
And here we go again aye Bryce
Such mixed reactions to this one. I get a backache just thinking about having to frequently reach down into the floor for stored stuff, & it seems unsanitary to walk onto a kitchen counter to get at a ladder to go to the loft. Also, where do they put the outdoor seating cushions when it rains? But I absolutely LOVE the color-changing lights, fairy lights, and slide-out zigzag stairs!
What a nice couple! Humble, truly thankful for everything they have and each other, but not prideful!
That staircase design is very clever!
It sure is!
It looks like a piece of art, doesn't it? Very striking.
Love it!
What a lively, clever couple with such a poetic, natural spirit! I love that they have so much light, & have a home that is not a tunnel. They seem like modern day indigenous.
I feel like the designer/builder of this house is my long lost twin😂 it literally has all the features i'd like to have in my own tiny house in the future
Yup! The designer of this home definitely did an amazing job.
It’s from Gina Stevens ❤️❤️ the designer has a ton of smart builds
@@EldritchCloak Oh Thank you!! I'll definitely check them out!!
Never seen such tiny houses in Kenya but I'll give it a try and set up one,weeknd complete now
You should totally do that! Super idea!
You can set it up for far less money than what most tiny houses cost. And besides land is cheap here. Goodluck.
I think I saw a woman in ngong who had a tiny house,was some time back though .... All the best ,hopefully will get to see it
Some are just built out of shipping containers very affordable.
@@AnnaLVajda no not at all a 20ft container is like 200k a 40ft container is 300k if you need the whole house done let's say 1 bedroom it will cost between 700k to 900k I really looked up to having a container home in kenya but the general price of finishing it was way too much. A nicely done interlocking bricks is way cheaper and you can still incorporate a nice terrace at half that cost.
I love it, such a cute tiny home, and I love how they made storage in the floor, what a clever idea. I think it's a great way for young couples to start out and a very wise choice so they can save money and not have a overwhelming pile of bills to pay. I wish them well for the future.
Thanks so much! Glad you like it. :)
Please followup their journey so that we can know how they have chalked their way for themselves.Cheers!!!!!!!
We need a 'Tiny Houses Revisited' channel....
Actually they have revisited some of the tiny houses...
@@janinafisher101 Need to watch (even) more of this channel then! Lol
@@wakingtheworld Yasss!!!!!
@@janinafisher101 Ya, I know but it is also good to see how have they found it after so many years may be! Btw i am all for a tiny house::))))
What a beautiful house and a great start for a young couple! It is going to be especially nice for them when it is surrounded with their orchard!
Wow that umberella shelter was so awesome and cool.... .. sitting under it enjoing nature like a fairy tale......❤❤❤
Those stairs are amazing... And the floor storage.. 👏👏
What an intelligent, sweet young couple. They have it all and then some. Beautiful 💝 home & gardens.
Lovely! The floor storage and pull out stairs are great ideas! Very nice people, too.
That sliding stairs to the loft is just clever! What a lovely tiny house.
Wonderful home and property. Adorable couple with the cutest barefoot plant-loving husband. Lucky girl. ❤
Love all of these tiny homes you feature! You've truly inspired me to build my own tiny home in a few years with my father when we buy bigger land 😊 thanks for all your hard work Bryce and Rasa!
You're welcome Nova! Keep in touch and let us know how your build goes! :)
O.H.M.Y.G.O.O.D.G.O.D!!! This is one hell of a tiny house and second hand!?!?!! And the stairs and the office 😍😍 and don’t even get me started in the double French doors and the view of their absolutely stunning garden!! And BEE KEEPING!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAHHHHHH I WANNA LIVE HERE PLEASE ADOPT ME!
Beautiful place
Hope you don't run out of NZ tiny houses ! Would so miss seeing all the clever designs every week, plus the green, growing things. Best to you both from the shore of Lake Michigan, which now looks like dirty, greasy stainless steel in the November rain. Sigh. Such is the trade off for our glorious summers.
I live in Cincinnati now, but loved michigan, even the dirty snow, it smelled good. I like winter. 😁✌️
Edit, and michigan Winters!
My country was just devastated by hurricane ETA... Watching these vídeos has brought me joy. I love their garden! I will do that tradition of buying trees with someone someday 💜 My favorite part were those loft stairs and their kitchen!
❤️❤️❤️
The idea for stairs was amazing...👍👍👍👍
Wonderful tiny home. Thank you for your videos . From Cape Town. South Africa.
A tiny house is my dream❤️
The stairs are so cool.
This house is amazing but my favourite part is that shelf above the kitchen to grab things from the loft. So simple yet so practical!
One of the best designs I've seen! I love how the top of the cabinets become a foot rest and the floor becomes the seat.
Good storage in the mid section but it kinda loses a potential lounging area.
Very true!
I thought that a couple of beanbags would solve that problem. Easily moved to access the storage.
It shrieks hazard alert
The tiny tour from October 15th 2020 has good solution for their lack of comfortable seating. They could definitely have easy to move seating that looks really nice.
And that's the reason I didn't buy this model, I did steal my future stair case idea though hahaha
Well, that and the extravagant cost
So jealous of them! If only this was possible in Singapore...
My sentiments too. Sigh
Why not? Have you googled "tiny house Singapore"?
@@chezmoi42 I’ve done it. That’s the shipping container hotel. We can’t own one in sg ourselves
It makes my day every time LBIATH uploads ✌🏻
Thanks David!
Great idea for the pull-out stairs going to the bed loft. I like the no shoes too 👣.
I went ‘Ohhh 🤩’ when she pulled out the stairs...
Yaaaaay! Finally! I thought this week will end without a new video. Thank youuuuuu!
This is one of the smartest designs I've seen! Love the stairs and the desk
Totally unique concept for the retractable stairs - ingenious space-saver as well as just plain looking classier. LOVE IT!
The hidden staircase is brilliant. However, I wouldn't like to have anybody's feet at my eye (and nose) level while I'm cooking. Climbing to the loft using the kitchen cabinet would also be a no-no.
Yeah, that occurred to me, too. I noticed that Arron was in bare feet outside, so his feet are probably constantly dirty. Then he stands on the kitchen counter in his bare feet. Not too sanitary.
I'm sure you know that YOU can build YOUR TH how YOU want correct????
@@jemma50 I went to school in NZ for a bit and lots of kids would take their shoes off and go out barefoot to play for recess/lunch and physical education time. This was a long time ago but I wouldn't be surprised it a lot of Kiwis still grow up being very comfortable with being barefooted.
@@ninetyminutestd I have no problem with the bare feet; I wish I were more comfortable myself without shoes. It just doesn't seem very sanitary to be stepping on the kitchen counter with (probably) dirty feet or having them hang over the kitchen where you prepare food. To each his own and they are obviously comfortable with their setup. I just wouldn't be. :)
@@clarkclarke you betcha! :)
I have a Jackery battery and solar panels. Just got them and living in Fl. I appreciate them a lot.
Good to know! Thanks. :)
This is such a PERFECT home. Simply gorgeous.
This tiny house is so magical and peaceful.
Thanks, Bryce! Thanks, Rasa! Thanks, Nicola! Thanks, Arron! 🏡
Wonderful design: so much light!
I love absolutely everything about this Tiny House. So many windows, big kitchen with a clever layout, the bathroom is very spacious (would swap the toilet for a composting one), the stair is incredibly smart, the workspace with the feet dropping down into the kitchen area is a bit unhygenic, but one could solve that by putting a bit of an obstacle behind the feet(so that the dust and dirt can't fall into the kitchen). Personally I would add a skylight and a seethrough separation for the sleeping loft, so that the smells from cooking can't penetrate the sheets. I don't know how well the floor is insulated bcs of the storage in the floor. BUT never the less I'm in love with this design.
Their love of plants is amazing! I have never been able to keep plants alive. All the lush greenery around their home is so beautiful!
That slide out staircase is the coolest thing! Never seen one before. That is why we love watching your channel guys, we get to see so many exciting new ideas! Thanks for another awesome piece of inspiration!
It has possibilities, but is far from being finished. They actually have to climb up from the outside into their living room. And the living room is actually just a big floor-closet, which they can't access if they ever want a couch or other seriously comfortable lounge area. Never mind that they can't sit comfortably at home, but what of their guests? Do they just stand around or sit on the tiny floor cushions? Considering the price of this beautiful home, I would certainly want a more inviting living room area. Everything else is great, especially the kitchen. And now it's time to build a wrap-around deck.
I totally agree! I'm not much of a cook, so I would sacrifice some kitchen space to have a cozy lounging area. To me, that's pretty important.
They showed the floor cushions in the storage area that they can pull out when needed.
Far from finished for who????? They've been in the house already for a year and a half.... clearly it is working beautifully for THEM ...
@@laraffinee Yes, and I've seen the shot where the little pillows are out on the floor. But the word lounge describes comfort and ease. Even teenagers would like to plop themselves on a soft, cushiony couch. I can't envision any guest over 30 being happy with this arrangement. True, there is a lounge area outside, but that only works when the weather cooperates. And, by the way, I don't remember seeing a heat source inside. I better watch the whole thing again in case I missed that vital piece of information.
@@clarkclarke Yes, dear. Whatever you say.
It happened that yesterday i came across a video featuring unique design ideas, and i saw the stairs, it's a really unique idea to have the stairs like that
I feel sooo encouraged, thank you for showing us all these inspirational couples, families and tiny houses😍
Oh my, oh my, smile on my face watching this one... Such a lovely couple and what a fantastic start for them. Their place is superb. The change in floor levels to delineate different living spaces is clever, that retractable staircase is genius and the lighting is so cool. Now to read the other comments!!
I get annoyed when people always point out negative remarks when a tiny is on parents property. Ive seen so many posts of people finding parking spots on their own. Where theres a will theres a way ;)
Yay I couldn’t sleep I’m so happy this video popped up 💚
WOW! LOVE all the windows and lights they have creatively placed throughout their home. So many workable, "thought through" wise additions. Plants/Trees/Bees - OF COURSE! And the most important ingredient is their love and care of one another. I do look forward to your "revisiting" this sweet couple in the future. I always look forward to your "Tiny House" episodes. God bless
Wow what a beautiful green house
Yay.. it was 9.04 pm here when you uploaded this video. This tiny house is so nice. I love the location as well with beautiful green view. Greetings from Indonesia. 🙏
I like their love of nature and how beautifully the young couple connects to nature. Love from India.
Thanks for another great tiny house story! It's not just a tiny house, but a story of people together in a space - regardless of its size.
Lovely couple and admire their perspective of life being that young. Congrats
I can't believe i'm late today😂 i' so excited to watch it now😍
Thank you for your hard work!!
The tiny ipod shuffle in that massive speaker unit(relatively) is kinda funny.
I love the center floor, french doors, pull out stairs, and dangling area for the legs! Obviously the garden as well!
So much fun looking at this couple - they are obviously so deeply in love. Beautiful house & the garden is amazing!!
I really want this kind of tiny house 😭
This exactly perfect 💕💫 I wish I own one of these.
I love this beautiful lovely tiny house. This couple is so awesome. They even like gardening. They're full of responsibility. Love that.
Way to go kids 👏👏👏👏 Love so many of the unique features. All the very best for a blessed future and a wonderful life experience on your own land with gardens and an orchard. 🤗
Oh, how I wish to be in a couple and live in a tiny house with them!
You forgot the most important part... being part of a GOOD couple. Because people in BAD or OK relationships can live in a mansion and still drive each other nuts and hate their life.
Nicely done, but stairs is surprisingly hidden, superb
OMG.. The spring of Love! I'm in love just watching this couple ! Plus their home ~
What a wonderful couple & pair of role models!!! 🥰
Watching Tiny House videos especially on this channel makes me feel relaxed while learning ideas at the same time. Thank you for continuously giving us such amazing videos! Can't wait to make my own tiny house soon! :)
I absolutely love tiny houses except I need a fully functional bathroom like a regular house . Thanks
Good kids 🌞 (ooooh! bees! Yay! 👍🏼)
What a lovely home! The double French doors? Wow! The hidden steps? Wow & wow. The step down bathroom that just gives a restful atmosphere? Well, amazing! The vibrant colours emanating from all the vegetation all around ? I am truly amazed. The philosophy that this couple lives by and their plans for the future? Super inspiring! Thank you for showing us this home. May all their projects come to fruition. 🧡
absolutely amazing, my dreams:, thanks for the inspirations:)
Sending so much love from Kenya
And from South Africa!! 💛
Congratulation! So far I find this tiny house is the most effective for living , love the glass doors n windows designed faced to face looks breezy n cheery. And the hidden stairs is great saving space
Thank you ...another beautiful find ... safe travels
It's such a beautiful house 😍❤️
