Builds open-plan home by hand with Japanese-inspired carpentry

- Tim Seggerman bought a rundown shack in rural New Jersey to build a house out of simple materials with his own labor. “After clearing away the unhappy rotted house, I set out to build (essentially by one carpenter, me) a simple modernist cabin for c. $125 a square foot using Cypress, Douglas Fir and Common White Pine available at the local yard.”
It took him 7 years to build and Seggerman estimates the materials cost him around $100,000, but the home is spacious and light with views that soar into the surrounding forest. It’s mostly cypress that Seggerman purchased from Tinsman Lumber in Lumberville, Pa., “a family-owned yard dating (continually in the family!) back to 1785 in the same spot, all the many yard woodsheds still clad in the original 240-year-old cypress."
He didn’t treat the wood because he wanted the house to be indistinguishable from the surrounding woods. And as the woods change with the seasons from green to red and orange to brown, the house reflects these colors off the wood. Seggerman’s niece lives in the home and says she can watch the woods for hours.

I like that you don't put music over your vids, it gives the viewer more opportunity to feel the true vibe instead of being directed by the music.
I am heartened that Tim and his neighbors fought eminent domain and won!! The List of the Harmed in PA is extensive. Love the house and Tim''s sensibilities! Thank you
The house has a lot of character and blends in with the surroundings so peacefully. Hats off to the guy for building his house with his own hands.
A real house made for living, warm, functional and incredibly well thought out!!!
People in cities live in lofts. I've been in many houses that are not full of walls. I absolutely love it. Especially the very large porch. 👍❤️ Well done. Thank you do much for sharing.
How this video deserves to be spread and shared all over the World.
Tim, your house is a true piece of art. 🏆
Thank you for showing us how beautiful and simple it can be done!!
I love it! The whole Japanese aesthetic is lovely. I could move right in. A bit more space than I need, but having the whole downstairs for an art studio - amazing! People continue to amaze me - and you seem to know how to find them, Kirsten!
Beautiful place, his niece is extremely lucky to have this living arrangement. ❤️
Lucky grand daughter to have such a talented Grandpa. I am in sync with his ideas...I love modern Japanese styles.
Watchin the wind for three hours. Respect.
I'm thrilled that Tim and his neighbors fought eminent domain and won. The house is a wonder. I particularly love the sliding bedroom doors.
Stunning home. You are a master builder. Japanese architecture is amazing.
I love no walls and the space he made using what he had. It's perfect.
Kirsten, you came to New Jersey!
Its crazy how 10 years later you were able to meet up with Tim again. I adore his philosophy on the Brooklyn house you looked at back in 2013, and this is no different. Thank you for sharing his ideas and stories, and thank you for the work you do!
Tim is very knowledgeable. I could talk to him trying to absorb his insights for hours. Hopefully we can visit sometime again!
Is there a link to this 2013 video with Tim? Would love to watch it. Thank you
Amazing design and execution. So simple yet you can see how much work went into it. By far one of my favourite homes 👍🏾🇬🇧💙
Hats off to the builder..
This channel is a seemingly endless fountain of ideas on how to live better
Lovely.
To live in a structure of wood, built from vision, craftsmanship, depth of soul and creativity, emersed in pristine woods to experience, reflect and ponder the essence of trees, while watching the spectrum of light dancing through your days and the moonlit nights.........
I too live in a home built of wood, of Cedar and Pine, a chalet/cabin designed and built by my parents in the early 1960's, in a pristine forrest of Pine and Cedar in the Sierra Nevada. Homes created from dreams, labor and heart are truly a gift to many generations to follow....... Ode to those who create habitats to enjoy, sharing such beauty, environments to simply be, to thrive and to live so well.
Wonderful.
This is beautiful. I wish I could smell it! Good on you for fighting the fight and winning.
This house grew from the ground in to a work of art. Incredible!!!!!
Great sense of design and execution of his vision
I live these mini road trip clips in your videos. Thanks for sharing so much beautiful views with us 🙏🙌
God, I would love to live there... to be IN the seasons as the light and foliage changes. I'm reminded of a NYC loft, my aunts live in loft studio broken into zones. And yes, a loft bedroom for guests would be most lovely!
I really love this! I think that I would ad another two bedrooms downstairs. That would be everything to me. That’s such an awesome layout!
Thoughtful. Simple. Beautiful.
I could not like this house more. It is gorgeous.
This is one of the coolest houses (inside & out) that I've ever seen! Good for you! Even though it was quite a journey to finish it, I hope you feel proud of your work.
The ones where the person talking is the one who designed and built the place or things are my favourites 😌.
We used to live in that county of NJ 35 yrs ago. My family is still there. Were now in Wisconsin...
Tim is amazing, great design~builder, great philosophy..... also Love his Brooklyn house....
I love everything about this video. The politics the aesthetics the do it yourselfness. All of it.
These kind of homes are my favorite
Someone is a pretty decent SINGER!!! :)
I love it! What an inspirational video. Tim, you are fantastic! More videos like this please.
I love how unassuming it is
What an incredibly beautiful house! I love the interior!
I love this space! The basement was such a pleasant surprise. Love the high ceilings and beautiful wood. Could easily live there.
It's absolutely gorgeous. I love the open floor plan and WINDOWS
love the sliding doors!
Congratulations Sir! It is really beautiful! 💖
that is one happy cat to live in this house, plenty of wood to scratch its claws on. Lovely house!
I remember him from a past episode! Nice to see you feature him again!
Utterly wonderful.
I like the self built episodes best.
I’d be living at home in my 40’s too if my father built a house as beautiful as this.💕
Stunning work by this man .
You can tell he's very design sensitive. You don't have Noguchi fixtures and Alvar Aalto Chairs without appreciating design. Awesome story. Happy it's being lived in!
So beautiful! Such talent! I love the cypress look!
Beautiful simple.
What a wonderful build 👏 ❤
Absolutely beautiful!
I really like this place. Nicely designed, nicely done. (My wife might freak out about sliding doors on the bedroom, though. 😄).
Wow, would love to live there. Functional and beautiful.
As always I enjoy the difference in all of your videos, Thanks
Wow !! That house is just a Dream! I love all the cypress & bamboo! Two of my favorites. The Windows everywhere are just beautiful. My dad was a craftsman built all kinds of stuff including cypress swings , plaques & Endless birds owls miniature cowboy boots- you Name it! He would have Loved You & as for me I wish I could’rent you out’ lol Lovely place! ✌️
I just love this house! It's educational, it's simple and yet an elegant home! ❤
What a beautifully conceived + crafted structure. I would LOVE to live there, in it.
Amazing work ❣️
stunning, heartful, quality
LOVE the house...gorgeous...love the open spaces...
One of my favs!

I'd love to finish that place off....
Lloyd Kahn would love this guy
Very beautiful house!! You’re such a brilliant builder!!
One more marvelous example for "less is more".
I wind vine around the poles in my house for my cats as scratch pads :-) keep it minimal
👍🏻amazing man - amazing house! 👍🏻
The singing kid!😁
It is fantastic…I wouldn’t change one thing…(add sleping area)
Beautiful 😍
it's beautiful.
Love it.
Bless you
100k, are u joking us, or what !??? AMAZING!!! TY
The total cost in materials (not hours put by Tim) is slightly less than 100K. You’d need to buy the land, apply for planning, etc. But yes, that’s the cost minus Tim’s hours on it.
@@nicolasboullosa Still, so reasonable for such a beautiful design, practical design! 👌
superior, I want exactly this one.
Outstanding
Super!
Nice
Amazing!
I shudder to think how much the taxes are.
Thank you for another excellent video.
Really kool !
Love the idea of architecture connects with the environment...We’re part of universe need to be humble 🤍:)
The material matches same tone like the trees 🌳 ......lots of windows sunlights 🌞
Nice design.
Lila is a very lucky girl
Amazing 😍😍😍😍
What about heavy snows?? Is the pitch steep enough? I love the house! Thanks
I might have missed it but what does or did he do for a living?
I’d like to know too. And what the niece does too because she said she starts her day looking at the wind for 3 hours 🫠
Hehehe ☺️ in all fairness she said she wakes up really early so maybe a few hours between ~6 to 9?
awesome
❤❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💪🏿👁💪🏿❤️❤️THANK YOU🙏🏿
Beautiful. But would be even more beautiful with less clutter. Just my opinion ;)
Very nice place, but who is the owner... Leila, Tim ? his sister...
What is the square footage of the house ?
What was the cost of construction?
Nice house. I would just have less windows in the bedroom, light it not good for sleep quality.
❤😊
