  • Meet Christo, a musician & DIY builder extraordinaire. He built a truly awe-inspiring tiny house on foundation using mostly reclaimed wood and salvaged & recycled materials. Initially, he planned to build on wheels but pivoted when the zoning of his land changed. This allowed him to build wider & taller, so he added an epic recording studio!

    When the zoning of his land changed, Christo turned lemons into lemonade. Instead of building a THOW, he built on a foundation. This allowed him to build wider & taller--perfect for adding an epic recording studio! He used mostly reclaimed wood and salvaged & recycled materials in a truly mind-blowing way. BTW, all the music in the episode is written & performed by him! 👉 *WATCH a succinct look at a high-quality tiny house build process & amazing park model tour:* th-cam.com/video/naf1OntFGr0/w-d-xo.html

    Christo is a true artisan. As a woodworker/cabinet maker, I can appreciate the amount of work that went into creating this house. The way he created the space, with the overall color scheme throughout, and the use of different wood species to create that color scheme is amazing and harkens back to the Craftsmen era. The way he designed the storage around the appliances is creative and awe-inspiring with its symmetry and balance. The most impressive home I have ever seen. I would take this home over any million-dollar mansion in a heartbeat!

Considering this video is a tiny house, it's about 5 times bigger than what I live in; it would feel like the Taj Mahal.

      Most tiny homes look very temporary to me. IMO, they’re just too small and have too many compromises for (most) people to live long-term. I realize that this one is on a foundation and able to be a touch bigger. But, this looks like the minimum size for a long term home.

    Wow! I agree that this entire house is a work of art, made with found objects as many artists say. I, personally like the fact that it’s built on a foundation, giving him the opportunity to raise the roof and offer standing room in both lofts! I also really like the beauty he added to the lofts with the big square windows between stacked smaller windows! Beautiful! I wish him well in his tiny house!

My grandfather built their little cabin in the U.P. of Michigan all by himself. Had himself a personal makeshift sawmill, back in the early to mid 1930's. It was my favorite place to be. Woods, a creek out back and a view of the lake out the dining room. It was small, two rooms. One was the eating, sitting and kitchen area. The other room had two full sized beds in it. Heated with a cast iron wood burner, along with the cast iron cook stove. So looking at your beautiful home sure brought back all the smells of woods and grandma cooking up fantastic food on that stove. Nothing like homemade bread out of one of those woodburning cook stoves.

    I'm a musician, and this is basically the tiny house I've been attempting to dream of the last several years--trying to figure out how a double loft might work, with the 2nd being for a recording studio. I just hadn't imagined it as beautifully as this guy did. At $80k, I could pull that off too in theory, but of course, that is his number cus he has the skill to build it himself. Damn I wish I had that skillset. I could totally live in a space like this and finally ditch the corporate life.
    I wonder how much this build would be if you factored in labor. But good lord, this place is perfect. And, unlike most other tiny homes, it has a full, actual kitchen, and real headroom in the lofts.
    I am going to watch this video regularly and frantically try to figure out how the hell I might pull something like this off.

I'm in Missouri and we have a lot of companies(many are Amish) that sell pre-built cabins/tiny homes that are just a shell (the entire cabin framed with siding and roof) for less than 20k. For an additional cost they can finish the entire interior. I know a lot will even accept designs if you are interested in doing a double loft. Not sure how much carpentry you can do yourself, but I know most people can DIY the interior if they have a completed shell to work with. I know of people who have finished an entire 16'x40' place for less than 50k.
