Jay Shafer’s Tiny Houses, A Simple Living Evolution
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 พ.ค. 2024
- Tiny house pioneer, Jay Shafer is widely credited with jumpstarting the modern movement. His last two tiny houses showcase an evolution of simplicity. As he puts it, simple pared-down living reflects nature-thriving through efficiency (the original “green” term). Meaningful living is key to his design approach. Everything in his tiny homes has to be beautiful and functional-Jay is a self-described “addict of meaning”
When we first visited Jay in 2016, he was living in his beautiful American Craftsman Style 119 sq. ft. tiny house. It cost less than $25,000. Fast forward to present-day, he’s now living in a tiny home less than half the size. From stylistic fortress feel to a light & airy, Japanese-style micro adobe. Though only 51 sq. ft. and under $4,000, it’s practically fire-proof and can easily expand with a detachable bathroom & kitchen add-on (raising the cost to approx. $6,000). Jay also envisions a kind of tiny house village with homes clustered around a common house with shared amenities.
While Jay’s tiny house designs are intended for anyone who wants to live more efficiently, his latest creation works well for those who can’t afford housing. His enduring legacy is that simple, high-quality living is accessible by all. Thanks for all the inspiration, Jay!

Jay Shafer and his original tiny house designs helped propel the modern tiny house movement forward and were personally a huge inspiration for us. When we first visited him in 2016, he was living in his beautiful craftsman style 119 sq. ft. tiny house (under $25k). Fast forward to present day, he’s now living in 51 sq. ft. and under $4,000. His enduring legacy is that simple, high-quality living is accessible by all. Thanks for the inspiration, Jay!
Thanks ' I'm Inspired Again "
Jay seems sad in these videos. I am pretty sure he was married not too long ago? I hope he is ok
I would like to know where I can get the tub.
All I Need is the Property ' I'm an Electrician ' I Love the Outdoors " My Dad Was A Builder & Built Several Homes in Bergen & Sussex County N.J "
@@Metaphysics-for-life I thought exactly the same as I watched the video
Single handedly creating solutions for those without homes. Takes the costs down and sustainable. Amazing!
"Sacred Geometry!!" That's why his designs always feel so balanced and peaceful
Exactly! Beautiful, functional and infused with meaning.
Dude Jay isn't the pioneer of the tiny house movement. He's the FATHER of the tiny house movement. If it weren't for him we wouldn't have tiny houses today. #JAY_SHAFFER_ROCKS
For me, the homes that Mr. Shafer designs and builds have always had that indefinable air, sense, quality and soul which makes them very special indeed!
To have designed and built this sized home is in itself masterful, but to have done so in such an utterly practical yet so beautifully perfect way is something so very special, and could have only come from the eye, mind, heart, soul and hands of Mr. Shafer.
Well said
I’ve come back to this video many times since it was posted. I love Jay’s latest tiny house, I love his personality and his philosophy. I could listen to him talk all day. Several times I have wished I could get in touch with him to ask him to build me basically the same house he is in now. There is always a sense of peace in his designs.
Also check out Dee Williams, who was influenced by Jay too. Her philosophy echoes his.
So glad to see creative soul Jay is continuing to innovate and lead the way to charming small dwelling. Always and forever thank you, Mr. Shafer.
I'm retired and in my late 60's. For the past 5 years I've been living in a tiny house built by Jay. In 2005, the home traveled from Sebastopol, CA to Louisiana. A young couple bought it there and took it to live in upper state New York. They later brought it to Sebastopol where they sold it to me. I'm in love with it.
Wow! What a journey your home has been on--a true piece of tiny house history. Thanks for sharing, Martha :)
Another beautiful house from the Godfather of the tiny house movement!
Thank you Jay, sincerely
💗
The first one was my absolute favorite
Jay is my hero! Good job, Jay :o)
A wonderful man, truly. Thank you.
Jay, love the candle heater! Heating a small space should be affordable. Would like to see more details on your venting. Also, your floor plan with no kitchen or bathroom is really interesting. Many people living in vans use the same ideas. I dig it!
Once again your kind heart, quirky humor and strength come through on this video! You are an inspiration to us all! Keep on keeping on my brother!
VERY SPECIAL AND INSPIRING, THANKS
Much love to Jay, truly an inspiration.
My favourite design was the first one.
I really want a tiny house 🙏
Nice space he built! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful
Beautiful tiny homes! I love them.
Thanks for explaining the concepts behind your designs. Much appreciated. Genius!
So good, thank you, I learn something new all the time with Jay Shafer.
I love this. I've always always wanted a tiny. that's my next goal to work on. thank you for introducing the tiny house.
he is a true inspiration. I love his house. i wanna build my own tiny house too.
Absolutely delightful
Like a lot of other folks we came slowly into raising and growing our own food, we moved Off Grid last spring. We are building two small cabins and a small kitchen. Living with less is more satisfying.
I love your design elements, it’s all done in good taste and I can tell you put a lot of heat into it. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful home, enjoy!
I shared this with the Positive Deep Adaptation facebook group because it can also be applied to dealing with climate change and extreme weather events, etc. Thanks for making this!
Appreciate it! :)
I love the soaking tub! Great style overall. If the sleeping loft had dormers, it would be perfect. I like the bookcases, too.
The micro tiny is nice, but a toilet/shower is essential if one were to live in it even for weekend trips. But the communal bathouse/kitchen would work for a fixed community.
Aww he's just adorable and so smart!
this house is perfect!
HaPpY THANKSGIVING, love the secret pegboard, and the tiny bookcase gives added bulk and purpose to the hall. Love the Japanese soaker and the front door and craftsman front ♡
I love hes energy😍and hes tiny houses😊
Very clever 😍😍😍
I hear Spur Texas is promoting it's a tiny house friendly, no trailer needed.
Might be interesting if they succeed in building up their community.
You're right about Spur. :) Now many THOW dwellers like the wheels becomes of the flexibility they provide to move as the need arises, like for a new job.
Are there plans available for this design?
who is this guy , I'm in love with his personality
An amazing person! He's widely recognized as the pioneer or godfather of the tiny house movement. After building his first tiny house on wheels in 1999, he helped launch the Small House Society and then started the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company.
@@TinyHouseExpedition I remember him saying something along the lines as he didn't have much money. Well, if he started these amazing companies, then he definitely has some very well earned money now! And he is VERY deserving of it! What a lovely soul & heart this man has! He's just brilliant! Love him! ❤
He's a genius
wowowowowoowowwo very beautiful,watching lockdown,davao city,philippines,, june 17 2020 ,,730pm,, lali..
I worry about his health, his breathing. Hope he is OK.
He may just need to reposition the microphone. He may not be gasping for breath.
He appears to be just fine. At least let's hope & pray he is! It could just be the way he's always breathed. He's such a sweetie!
@Courtney Saunders I'm really coming to you with love & mean absolutely zero disrespect sweetheart. Having said that, none of us know if he's cut out for marriage or not. If he's for marriage, then obviously it's all about finding the right partner. That's it. Some of us can find that perfect partner early on in life while some of us have to weed through so many bad apples to find our perfect person. I believe he will someday. ❤
He might just be tired, and/or getting over a cold.
@@ebonyfaith8064 Pretty sure he's married and has two kids.
Does anyone know where to find a shower like this? Or is it made to fit the bathroom? Wich material is used fot this, plain sheetmetal?
so dreamy....
Hello, Thanks so much for your videos. Do you all happen to have an update on Jay? I tried going to the website you all linked on TH-cam and some other page comes up when I click it. I would love to get into contact with him.
That is very cool. Pretty much all I would need. Though I would definitely need a ground floor bedroom, since I'm older and not interested in going up ladders or stairs constantly to get to my sleeping area.
I wonder if the houses getting smaller represents the people in his life lessening in size. The last tiny house had a social space and he even said sometimes he needed to bring in the chair from outside. Now he says he has the extra bed available but he’s not using it. He seems markedly more sad in the second house.
Loving it......I'm all for tiny living. Hoping soon I will be building my own......any communities in the Florida central region?
There are! Gracious RV & Tiny House Park in Okeechobee, and Circle Pond Tiny Community in Ruskin. You can find them and others here: searchtinyhousevillages.com
Design has come along way since then..but Jay's design still holds up very well. . How much is that house today? Tiny houses have become too exoensive and defeat the original purpose nowadays.
Are there still plans to build a tiny home community in Sonoma?
I absolutely love your tiny home. Does anyone still make an original Tiny Home? Just me and my dog.

I want one

Where can I buy jays book or get it as an Ebook? Please
Link to buy his book in the description 👍😊
No doubt jay’s houses r amazing.. firstly i saw his 5000$ house n still in that wow moment
YourEditingStylegoodtoo!!!
Why thank you!
Do we have this kind of housing in Seattle or in the outskirts? If yes, then where? and if not, Why the hell not? Tiny Home communities are a must with the everincresing greedy rents here in the city of Seattle and the surrounding communities.
THIS IS WHY EVERYONE IS SO MISERABLE!! When you have to constantly struggle to survive and barely scrape by day in and day out its bound to take a toll on the people.
It has become so difficult to afford to live for the average wage earner and it is bordering on criminal and highly discriminatory based on financial status. I am not a drug addict and I am not a criminal. Just a pretty awesome middle aged woman trying to get by and yes, I work, if you're wondering. I actually work my ass off. I do not do credit cards, if I did I might be able to stay afloat like I know many of you do. Most of us are one paycheck away from disaster, those who use credit cards may "look" like they have their shit together but we all know things are sometimes not as they appear. You too are looming on the edge of financial colapse and homelessness.
Two weeks ago, I had to abandon my 1 bedroom apartment in Lynnwood because I couldn't afford to continue paying $1550 per month. Many months I payed well over that amount in late fees. Basically I was choked out of my apartment. I was unable to scrape together the monies to find another place more affordable so I was out of options. Technically I was evicted for Non payment of rent so now I am the "loser" who has an eviction on her record and no one will want to rent to me now. So, now I am living in a hotel with my 20 year old son. I am not looking for sympathy so please don't. I have been humbled and now I am looking for solutions so, please do not send me messages of pity. I will delete and block your friendship for good.
And if you must judge me and think in your head "what a loser she must be" then go right ahead and judge me
Oh and for those who are thinking "why is she putting her personal business on here" I have one finger for you and its my middle one. You can kiss my ass. Im looking for solutions not your judgement or your opinions on my character! You try to kick me when Im down and I will tear you up. Not playing. Oh and just so you know, I can read minds so be careful. You dont need to say a word. i will know.
My son will be getting his own apartment soon at an affordable housing community where he will pay $1050 for a rocking one bedroom apartment in the same city! I will pay whatever I have to pay to get him on his feet. I may die in the process but it will be worth it to get him going. It's much newer and much nicer then where we lived formerly where I payed $1550 for the same square footage. I am prohibited from living with him because I am a loser. I am now considered not good enough to live in an affordable housing community because of my eviction.
These rules and screening criteria need a serious overhaul. To flat out deny a person who has an eviction on their record for Non payment of Rent are set by the Government, so in my eyes it's the government who is causing this homelessness issue by allowing rents to run out of control and then blocking someone who hasn't been able to afford the outrageous rents from living somewhere they can afford.
The desperegy in what the Government calls "affordable housing" and what typical rental rates are for the rest of the folks living in typical apartment communities across the nation is outrageous and should be looked at and something needs to be done.
It is greed that is driving this industry just like any industry that goes unchecked and that is criminal! The Government is supposed to protect us from this. They are in our business on everything else why are they not doing their job on this topic? Huh?
If I had the financial backing, I would build my own very affordable tiny housing community much like the one you see here in this video.
We need real change #america the not so great in my opinion, right now AND #seattle #lynnwood #housingmarket #greed is out of control
I mean come on! Do you fat cats really need $1550 for a 1 bedroom box?
the truth is our country worships rich people and they don't want poor people "tiny house owners" in their neighborhoods that's why they're illegal.
Understand and curious what you were able to do. Ty for sharing. It's def a huge problem.
Jay! You're so damned cute! (And creative;)
Where's the altar in the new house?
I Need A lot Of Tiney Homes Help Me Out God Bless
i want to design and build my own tiny house but dont know where to start
tumbleweed tiny homes and 84 Lumber have tiny homes
It's accessable for all only if you have$ to buy property to sit on! If you want to drive around you need$ for a big truck and rental for stop overs! I wish it was as easy as it sounds, but when I got interested I still had money and could work! I've lost everything sadly
The Gypsy caravan
"I heat this place with a candle" lmao
Does this man have a toilet?
🤗♥️
he appears ill. gasping for air. hope he's ok.
There should be a rule that if you build a tiny house, donate $1 to Jay Shaffer.
Co opps! Absolutely

Michael since you're open to relocation, I highly recommend taking a look at SearchTinyHouseVillages.com and TryItTiny.com. Happy researching!
@@TinyHouseExpedition Thanks ' I'm Still Looking '
The first house looks a lot like the micro apartments in Japan
I have to ask, is Jay as awesome in person as he seems? I too have been homeless before, and feel like I could be a kindred spirit with him...
🖤🦇
He certainly seems to be a warm, open person brimming with ideas. And funny too! ☺️
Build me one please
kitchen下にdram式洗濯機は置けそう。屋根裏寝室は手足丈夫でないと大変だね。寒い場所でstoveは良いね。靴箱は必要ではＷ、二件目bathtoilet見なかったね？日本styleだと広々使えるの。梯子は大変。家の周りに垪とかないと寒いでしょ。
If the houses get any smaller he will be living in an upright coffin.
Jay do built it for others
I like the sekond house. But he is using it more like a guest house. That's way there'se no shower and toilet.
Did anybody else see the spider crawling in his sink when they showed it?
Haha we noticed that all throughout the edit!
We live in the woods as well. Spiders are always in the house.
Haha, yes!! In the minute 2:57
He's majorly depressed. Hope he feels better soon. Another innovative great design. He's truly a Minamilist and practices what he preaches. What a lovely clever guy.
May 202Fans, you might try to get everyone involved with turning the HUUUGE! parking lot (save the buildings for Planet Fitness, etc.) of the closed Macy's, everything, at the Richmond (across from San Francisco GG Bridge, Richmond-San Rafael Bridge) view of the Bay and Mt. Tamalpais....Try to form a non profit (talk to nurse Meg Busses 'Camp You Can' on how to do this) to try to copy this at hundreds of closed shopping centers all over the USA. G'Day
No pecking way.
And here we have a perfect example of what you have to live in if you go to college for art.
Did he get divorced because before he was living in a 500ft house with his wife and kid?
He had a wife and children. ... ?
Guess those 12,000$ home's don't actually exist anymore 😓
either that's is a big ass tiny house or that man is really tiny.
This is horribly crampt. It's basically a prison.
WHY NOT LIVE LIKE JESUS THAT DID NOT HAVE A PLACE TO LAY HIS HEAD? WOULD THAT NOT BE THE ULTIMATE MIMINALIST?
I havent seen him in years...he sounds like the town drunk now. I hope he's doing ok.
?!?Arrogance?!?
where does this mumble mouth say he lives in south basketball?
