- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.ค. 2022
- Full tour of a beautiful 32' tiny house on wheels with a dramatic black exterior and a minimalist Scandinavian interior home design. It has a custom breakfast bar, DIY sofa and space-saving storage, compact multi-purpose ladder, main-floor bedroom, and a spa-like bathroom. This house is off the grid and has a separate systems shed for the 4000-Watt solar power system and a 2000-gallon water storage tank.
This house was designed and built by Lee and Payam from Instead Tiny Homes as their prototype model, and Lee and his family have been living in it for almost a year now. You can find out more about Instead's incredible work here:

What does the Most Inexpensive Tiny House Run.....
@@kweenmajesty192 It can 'Run' about 500 yards, but only if you attach 'House Slippers' to its foundations!
@@ianbell2288 let me be more clear I meant how much money does a person normally need to start a regular tiny home like Maybe studio suze 😊
The use of every inch of space is remarkable. It brings to light that the excess we in America are accustomed to is unnecessary and frankly, ridiculous. The Europeans live in small homes and I’m glad we are finally adopting this more efficient and sensible way of living. I love these videos; it’s got me on the downsizing track to tiny living for my looming retirement.
Cute home and cute family! It's too bad that there are not more cities allowing tiny homes. It makes so much sense!
How come? Don't you just love overpriced behemoth mansions that cost millions in slave labor to build?
Less tax to impose is not a good incentive for them.
Maybe a different tax structure is required to help incentivize more environmentally responsible lifestyles. Currently the incentives are mostly biased away from health and environmental thriving: like relying on gas sales to pay for transportation infrastructure, or incentivizing farmers to grow corn which artificially reduces the costs and incentivizes the production of unhealthy foods... But I'm moving off topic
It absolutely baffles the mind that a govt can decide where/how you live but they cant make a plan for affordable homes for the current and future generations
We have the same issue where I am, housing is stupidly expensive and you arent permitted a tiny home/home on wheels without jumping through 100s of hoops
@Tim Reilly I dislike the argument that we should avoid any change in how we do things because our current systems are incentivizing people to do things status quo. If we want to see actual change in a way that respects the environment, we need to change the systems that encourage over consumption, and material depletion. I'm fine being taxed in other ways to pay for necessary infrastructures. I have no issues with production as long as it doesn't require exploitation to be profitable.
Love the layout and the size of the home, the minimalist aesthetic is really appealing. Especially love the cladding. My only negative is the loft is too compromised for my liking - I would find it annoying.
Same here.
Good luck with Max the gorgeous baby in the gorgeous house.....
I LOVE the minimal look and feel with birch plywood, black cabinets, and stainless-steel countertops/appliances. Beautifully done!
Hi suzanne how are you doing today and I hope you don’t mind me texting you?
I thought he said pine plywood. I think birch would look better.
Really awesome design and Max is quite the addition! I wish "Instead" much success. 👍😎🇨🇦🌲
This is a beautiful home. Thanks for showing us around. 👍 🥰
We love everything about this tiny house except the loft. We aren't loft fans. Although we really like the wood and the simpilcity of the design. We hope they make many happy memories in their tiny house. Thanks Matt and Danielle for sharing their story.❤
Lofts are a great way to maximize space in a tiny house but they're definitely not for everyone. I like that with this build there is a main floor bedroom so things can be switched around in the future if they want to. Thanks for checking out the video Cathy :)
I like lofts that are a bit more roomy …this one looks too tight
Wow. I love these Tiny Houses in general. I couldn't personally sleep on that bed with the ceiling so close to my face on an ongoing basis.
Beautiful, sleek and practical. Great to see a tiny with a proper nursery and space for Max. Absolutely love this one!
Brilliant design and esthetic
Lovely family, lovely home.
Beautiful tiny house and great layout.
Thank you for sharing
🥳👍
Thanks for checking out the video, happy you enjoyed it :)
@@ExploringAlternatives thanks 👍💯👏😋
Tiny houses and alternative housing is the future folks. Let's embrace it.
That solar panel is massive
That’s what she said
4 Kw. Wonder what the output is in wintertime up in the Great White North.
Yeah 👍
I really liked the siding style.
Still love the honesty of your videos.
I am from Scandinavia and I approve this build.
Love this build. I love all the plywood. Such an underrated building material for finishing and flooring.
FANTASTIC DESIGN ‼️‼️ LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT‼️‼️ Vinny 🇺🇸
very nice but couldn't do the loft and especially without a railing, I have rolled out of bed before so imagine the damage you could do falling from that height!
This is my favorite tiny house ever
Very nice! Wow! Kiddo is ssssoooo ccccuuuutttteeeeee as well ❤️ that smile 😀
Great video! I love that he built the house, now he has a tiny home business that he knows first hand. That's great. I hope his business takes off and he is able to offer more designs, maybe bigger!
congratulations on your mini human🙂 what a great space Mr. Max has
What a beautiful home💪🏽👍✌️👋🏼🇵🇷
Love the solar shed.
Thanks for sharing 😊, and good luck for the future. 🤗🥳📸
Gorgeous home! The stacked wood underneath will attract termites.
Very lovey and interesting build
Beautiful home
I have that toaster and kettle in cream as me kitchen cabinets are cream also xxx Lovely home, looks very stylish and comfortable. We should all be living tiny for the sake of the planet. I would love to be totally off-grid... log cabin with a wood burning stove, solar power, wind turbines etc.
Hi valerie how are you doing today
I love the fact that fir irs size you can Leagally pull and park ANYWHERE . Nice
We've been following your channel for several years -- it is one of the best of its kind. And we hope some of your viewers might be interested in our new channel, vlogging our off-grid home build in Vermont. We'll soon begin construction on a platform for our 30' Pacific Yurt. (We plan to install radiant floor heat and a rocket mass heater!)
Love this build and the vibe of the owners!!
Of the hundreds of tiny homes and schoolies I've seen, this is literally the first I've ever witnessed with ceiling fans. Definitely a nice touch.
Loved it. I'm getting more and more interested in this. I'm not sure if I can accomplish it at this point... I'm not starting a family. I am rejoining my own for the moment, but I like this way of living.
Lovely place. I would have soft pillows to add to the couch for more comfort. Max is adorable.
Beautiful!
Lovely home. If/when you do have your own land, you may then have the option to build a 2nd TH for guests.
Beautiful tiny home . The only thing is the space between you & your baby . First is, babies can get into & out of areas very easy . It's amazing how quiet babies can be when their getting into mischief. I guess I'm just a worrier. Good luck
What a beautiful tiny house, you can tell it was made with love! Having the main living space so tall and open probably makes it feel much bigger than it is.
I love the stunning uncluttered simplicity of their design, yet how clever their solutions are. The combination shoe storage, breakfast nook seating bench, coffee table is brilliant! However, in their climate (I grew up in Michigan down south, but still very cold snowy winters) I would want a place to hang up wet clothing vrs stowing it in that bench. I imagine they have some kind of system that works for them though as they've thought of everything else! I would also want more head space in the loft so I could at least sit up in bed. Makes me wonder why they didn't but the skylight over their heads for just that reason and to be able to look up and see the stars.
Anyway, WOW!!!
I agree with your appreciation of the design, and also about hanging winter clothing. I’ve found that most tiny homes don’t accommodate winter coats, boots, scarves etc. Lack of such storage would be a problem here in Canada too.
Make the couch to be pulled out a bit. That way you can create an extra sleeping place using the couch. (Maybe for 2?)
Wow, absolutely beautiful and well thought out.
Love that this house is designed for Canadian weather (winter). My only complaint would be the height of the loft looks cramped
If I ever do a tiny house, it would have to be 10 feet wide MINIMUM..... I could live like this EASY!
So beautiful tiny home
Very beautiful home!!!
Very nice 👏👏👏
Interested to learn more about Instead...!!!
Such a lovely home. personally, I'd probably put a railing up on the loft, or I'd be petrified of falling down lol 😂
A great house
Wow! Fantastic!
It’s very pretty and pragmatic
its beautiful !
beautiful...
Beautiful home.
This is the nicest plywood iteration I've seen. The loft is too shallow
Thanks! And yah the loft is tight with the fat 10" mattress but usable. We're looking forward to putting in a 4" thick wool mattress to free up a bit of space. We definitely prioritized kitchen headroom here
great design and aesthetic! Rich
Beautiful
Love it 😊❤
Really beautiful home you have created ~ that loft is pretty daring to me......thanks for sharing and have a great life! Sending you light, love, peace, joy and abundance always! I love you.
Very nice. I really like the clever design of the 'pantry/ladder'. Overall a beautiful design.
Love it I want one
wow👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I wish I had a tiny home....someday maybe....😞😢
💣⛓️🕊️ it feels warm ♥️ Smart
lovely
Hey Teri how are you doing?
@@Chris-eg4xf Wow Hello🙂 I was so happy to have received a call from the architect the designed the Raven HouseOriginall which is the home I found that I love so much. I found the land I wish to nestle it in and begin but to answer your question I have anxiety with what I am envisioning. I enjoyed your video to learn how your feng shui decisions went. I wish to begin with my lifestyle change but will need lots of advice. If it does not happen for me..I got to speak with the architect. I chose the cabin with the idea to have a mini also to serve as a guest house/bath house. If you have any advice I welcome suggestions as I only have the vision and desire at the moment. Mr. Pete suggest the next step to be to secure the land but I haven't 2 dimes to rub together to make a fire..I am as broke as a bag of glass😄 but the idea was to rent them out to others until it would pay itself off and then move into it unless you have advice towards a different approach to all of this. but yes before I end up writing a novel (I just wrote blabbed)😄I hope to see this happen. Your advice is welcome. I loved how your family made use of your space on the interior. Inspiring and lovely. Enjoy and hugs to beautiful baby. Teri🌼
@@tericarter2019 wow that’s great
Where are chatting from
@@Chris-eg4xf from a vision in my mind😂I hope it can become
A lovely home!
I would cover those tires so the sun doesn't dry rot them.
Wouldn't you want to raise the tires, so you don't get lumps happening?
I am surprised you don't have a wood stove.
Great house too, and very well designed
This is such a beautiful space! Love the Scandinavian look and this beautiful wood all around. So well organized and so inviting. Like the fact they are in Ontario so it is built considering our hard winters. I was surprised though by the lack of space around the bed upstairs…except that everything is so perfect. Thanks for this tour!
Really awesome
Love the design and the stainless countertops which I don't see much in tinies but wondered why not.
Your video have helped me reach over $200,000 in stocks by age 24! Thanks. Keep the videos coming
Congrats ! I started right before Covid when the recession hit.I held those stocks and made a killing. I bought dividend stocks and made a lot during Covid.

Beautiful!!
Linda tiny house.
Beautiful design. The best I've seen. It's ridiculous that these aren't allowed as main dwellings in urban areas. And they shouldn't have to sit on trailer frames. The seating looks very confined. A sofa needs an angled back even if it eats up your floor space.
Beautiful design & build. Much to be proud of. I love the basic simplicity; the pine plywood is beautiful & will take on its own patina with age. The stainless steel countertops are really ideal. Had those in a previous home. Never need to worry about sealing like granite or potential bacteria as with butcher block. Children are so adaptable- your son won't recognize he's living tiny until he's older & by then used to this lifestyle. I'm curious about the certification & size of windows in the loft. Couldn't quite tell if they qualify as egress windows in case of emergency. Floor to ceiling height in the loft looks tight- assuming because of the mattress as you implied.
I noticed what looks like wood stored under the home-from previous experience it invites lots of critter problems & was one of our biggest nightmares. From a racoon getting stuck & dying beneath (think horrific odor) to a swarm of destructive yellow jackets I'd advise against this. We finally built a separate storage area about 15 feet away. Wishing your family many happy, wonderful years living tiny & great success with the business!
I'm surprised they aren't doing rainwater collection.
Nice design, very well thought.
As regards the yellow liquid, the family could simply do it outside. Peeing on brown materials doesn't smell and help the organic mater to decompose.
I wonder what other power options they are looking at for the winter. I can imagine the frustration of not being able to use the washer/dryer as often when it's cold outside
4 KW system is apparently sadly not enough for them in northern latitude winters. I counted 24 panels so that's only about 160 watts/panel. Money is already spent so they probably couldn't upgrade to more efficient panels, but maybe they could add a wind generator for winter winds.
@@dodgeplow it's actually 12x 325w panels, so they are already on the higher end of efficiency. I do think doubling our battery storage capacity could possibly help ride out the lows of winter, since we were frequently able to get to 100% charge during the day, but the evenings start before 5pm in the winter so it's a long period of drawing from the batteries, when you're consuming the most.
@@leeloewen2326 The panels have divisions that make them look double that number. Thanks for clearing that up. I don't recall the size of your battery bank. How much wind do you get in your area? If you're handy, you could make a DIY wind generator cheap with a used car alternator from a salvage yard for extra power. There are plenty of How-To webpages and videos about it.
@Exploring Alternatives - Hi, great videos, great ideas, thank.
Also, Would you consider creating a summary video in regard to daily tasks for living
in a mobile home. All the services that makes our life easier (for too much money) in a city apartment
will need more work from us during the day (which is not a bad thing).
It would help a lot to understand the daily chores of minimal living. thanks.
I am such a fan of E.A.'s productions. One thing I have gleaned after being here for years: You better pick your partner extremely well. Ready to retire and with plenty of resources, I sort of hope I can find a sweet woman to do this with in the next few years.
Great insight!
My favourite humanure idea is to do the deed inside, then immediately bring both outside, it never builds up in any containment inside the house. You can keep the humanure in a sealed container outside until it's time to dispose of, or compost it. It doesn't need to be inside. Pee can go out in the grey water even.
Love these concepts however I'd like to see them account for the AODA when people have issues healthwise climbing up stairs won't be feasible as well as entering a tiny space for wheelchairs walkers etc... But very great concept...
YES! 100% this is something that has been on my mind (as owner of this home). I have thought about what would happen if we were injured or what happens to the home as we age. This is a conversation happening within Instead also as they envision and plan for future designs.
@@rebeccamichelle1684 wonderful. Only noted this because I see this is growing in popularity and now that city of Toronto has approved coach houses it's just a matter of time for the proposals of tiny homes as well.. but for sure this is great and would love to see more tiny or mobile homes more accessible especially for like seniors who want options as well... Endless creativity!!
Love it ! .. We live in a 37 ft trailer in Barrie .. We're on the lake and have been here for over 20 years and we absolutely love it .. The cheap living is the best thing but our problem is, we're in a park and the hydro's included .. That sounds nice but it's not, as we only have 20 amps in a trailer that requires at least 30 .. Could you tell me what kind of Generator you have and how much? .. We have the tankless hot water by reliance which was life changing for us!! .. We also added on full steel roof so it doesn't get as hot inside in the summer and I feel more safe, as we live on a fully large, old treed lot .. It is a must see as our home is absolutely gorgeous, like your lovely home and family .. Your baby is such a beautiful blessing!! 👨👩👦🍁
From Indonesia nice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Like this design and the Solar Shed, which is a great option. I was wondering if he used the formaldehyde free plywood for the interior.
Definitely going to look up this online.
The house we're just finishing now has the maple purebond plywood for the interior- which is a no added formaldehyde ply. For ours we used a sanded radiata pine plywood. All wood actually contains some amount of formaldehyde naturally
@@leeloewen2326 Yes, but besides woods, since it's a metabolic intermediate, formaldehyde is present at low levels in most living organisms. Formaldehyde can be found naturally in food up to the levels of 300 to 400 mg/kg, including fruits and vegetables (e.g. pear, apple, green onion), meats, fish, crustacean and dried mushroom, etc. and it can be naturally produced by other chemical reactions as well.
So it's not really realistic to be free of it, just that it's level of concentration is kept low. The main issue is we don't actually know what level is safe, but natural levels are the ideal goal to keep them at... But most construction material is now very low... So much so that if you used an air quality tester, you'd get a higher VoC registration from a peeled orange than cutting into most construction wood products, including MDF.
Generally, you'd have far more to worry about from what gets used on interiors, like cabinet finishes, as those contain far higher concentration of VoC emitting chemicals and directly effect the interior air quality, which in modern air-tight homes poses additional risk if the home is not well ventilated. The industry has done a lot to clean up construction materials but there's still a lot that has to be done for furniture, etc.
Hello, nice build. It is possible to build a Murphy above your seating area in your living room. It would blend in seamlessly if you used the same wood that you already have. Could do the same in the baby room for guest. Guest stay for short periods of time, right!
They've made it legal for ppl to put tiny homes on existing house land in my city in Ontario
I'm just wondering whether the snow has to be shoveled off the roof during the winter as the pitch is not very great. I love the simplicity and layout
Hey Kathryn how are you doing today?
We actually had no issues with too much snow buildup on the tiny house. It's over-built with 3/4" OSB over the rafters and 2 fully adhered waterproofing layers with spray foam insulation underneath. The solar panels did need to be cleared off at times in the winter but we use a 21' extension with a 'snobrum' head so very easy to do from the ground
@@leeloewen2326 hey lee
Amazing! Now if only it was allowed to live in one full time on my 20 😢. The crazy rules need to change.
I like the tiny house concept, but if I went to tiny house living I would like it a bit higher so I could stand up in the bedroom and maybe a little wider. I live in Chicago in a condo and am not really happy with it, but there is no tiny home community here;; I would really like that.
This may be a controversial opinion, but if it were me, I would sleep head facing the opposite way in the loft. Appliances like fridges emit radiation - some more than others - and moving your head just a few feet further away can significantly limit exposure. Great build nonetheless!
This is absolutely gorgeous and definitely my dream home. I’m curious if you think it’s possible to have a bathtub in a tiny house? I don’t know if I would be happy never being able to soak in a tub 🛀
I just watched a tour of a tiny house called the Lux which had a full jacuzzi bathtub! It's definitely possible
I am doing a tiny home build (minibus) and I have incorporated a bath so definitely doable. Just need to be more inventive. Shower over bathtub, fold up bath tub, bath tub under the floor in the living room area or even a wider walkway, an outside tube in the verandah. You can fit them in. You just make the priorities in your tiny house what suits you the most.
@@burstmedia1829 Those are very creative options! Thank you 🏡
Do you have a water collection system? It seems that solar array would collect a lot of water? 💖🌞🌵😷
It’s definitely a work in progress and something we would like to see in place soon!
The most interesting thing about this house is the power and water shed, too bad you didnt go into technical detail there.
Well, the loft bedroom did it for me...my claustrophobia screamed out and I gave to say, "love all the thought put into this design but I'm out of here."
