Young Woman's Beautiful Tiny House Gives Freedom From Rent / Mortgage
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 25 มี.ค. 2020
- This beautiful tiny house on wheels has become a dream first home, allowing one young woman to escape the rent and mortgage traps and get her start on the housing ladder!
Stef was drawn to the idea of living in a tiny house as she wanted to live in a place which was simple, minimal and which would give her the ability to focus on other parts of her life.
Life in a city like Auckland can be crazy expensive. With the average house price around 1 million dollars and the cost of rent through the roof many end up getting stuck in the rent trap and have given up on the idea that they will ever be able to own their own homes.
When looking for housing options in Auckland, Stef began searching for alternative solutions such as shipping container homes. When her childhood friend decided to move overseas, selling their almost complete tiny house, Stef jumped on the opportunity to become its new owner and get her first foot on the housing ladder.
At 17m2 (182ft2) this tiny house has it all, including an amazing parking spot, close to the beach and with sea views! Enjoy the full tour of this beautiful tiny home.

I hope that you're all keeping safe and well! I'm sure many of you watching this will currently be in self isolation / quarantine due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Rasa and I cut our Australia tour short and returned to New Zealand, where we have now been in self isolation for just over a week. New Zealand has just gone into level 4 lockdown, which means everyone in the country is self-isolating for at least the next 4 weeks. It's crazy times out there, and I hope you and your loved ones are all okay. Fortunately, we have enough videos already filmed from earlier in the year that we will be able to provide videos for at least the next couple of months - and after that, unless travel restrictions have been lifted, we might have to get creative. We are all in this together though. Stay home, stay safe, keep well. I hope you enjoy this weeks video. With love, Bryce & Rasa
Stay Healthy and Be Safe! Thanks for keeping up with the inspiration and lovely videos during this time.
Keep safe and well.
Living Big In A Tiny House maybe you could do some more flute music!
I have a suggestion if you need to get creative later. How about DIYs inventions for tiny houses OR maybe talk about tiny house laws around the world? You could cover a new country each video:)
Also stay safe and thanks for your great videos.
This might seem trivial, but I love that you always ask permission to enter someone’s home, and even to enter the more intimate spaces. The respect that you have for people’s homes shines through in the quality of your work. ♥️
Sugaz Malone That's a lovely observation
You didn't know that he was a vampire?
Yurrah Al-Hadi ,, 😂😂
Great observation, I also like that.
I want someone to reply “no, now’s not a good time”
Honestly most of these tiny houses are a lot bigger than my apartment. Especially if you want to factor in all the outdoor usable space.
Sshhh Trouble like dead ass
Having the outdoor area certainly does help to expand the home!
This place is 182sq/ft. Where exactly are you finding houses, or apartments, that size? NYC?
well, it's a tiny HOUSE. they're tiny compared to houses.
@@ronin84 also in lots of big cities in europe
Bryce is always nice and respectful when talking to the owners, keep up the good work dude!
Thanks Giovanna!
I agree with u.. he is so decent..
What do you expect Giovanna? He's in a video. Just kidding Bryce.
And you are nice and beautiful, keep it up!
Giovana and Bryce sitting up a tree.....
"Tiny house people still wanna have friends!" Lol.
It is mine and my friends dream to buy some land and have a tiny house community.
That's a great dream! I wish you all the best in bringing it to life! :)
Your dream. Someone call retirement units 🤣🤣🤣
Same, have a small community with plenty of land to grow food, raise chickens, maybe a few goats, perfect lifestyle.
Sounds like a wonderful dream
@Mr Lion why so rude tho
Im only 14 but my dream is to live in a tiny house with a mini herb and goat farm. I really like the layout of this house.
That sounds like a lovely dream. 😊
I'm 45 and I am writing this from inside my shepherd's hut tiny home and my six Boer goats are just outside where I can see them. I don't have a herb garden, but I have chickens and ducks. It is a dream, Soph, and I hope you pursue yours!
Never to young to dream
I had goats when I was 14, but I wished I had waited until I had my own farm, because I had to say "good bye" when I went off to school. They are so beautiful and so, so smart. I hope you grow them for love, not food. FYI, keep the herbs away from them!
Best advice I could give you as a 32 year old buying a house via the traditional route; as soon as you start working, set up a second bank account & start saving money for your house. Even if it's just a small amount each month, it will add up & put you years ahead. I really wish somebody had said this to me when I was your age because I would probably have been in my own house about 4 years ago but I'm still having to save.
Your videos are our favourite show everytime my husband and I eat.. They are very entertaining and somehow make me forget about the pandemic. Your videos give me hope that one day, everything will become better and we will build our tiny house too in Spain (where my husband is from) and we will invite you to visit us. Please do not stop uploading more videos. God bless you, Bryce and your wife. And also to all the people you have visited and unselfishly shared their stories. Thank you so much!
Thanks so much. I'm so glad that our videos can provide a little reprieve from everything that's going on. One day, things will get better and we will all be a part of building a brighter future together. I'll look forward to visiting your home in Spain one day. Blessings to you too and thanks for watching. Stay safe! 💖
My boyfriend and I watch these during dinner, too!
@@livingbig big hugs from Bergamo /Itália.
ah yesss.. either this channel or cartoon.. both always made our day.
@Paulina Nchama ndong What? Are you serious? In that case which god are you talking about? Thor, Shiva..?
At the moment it seems like all anyone can talk or think about is the virus, but I really appreciate that you've stuck to tiny houses, and tiny houses only. It's a breath of fresh air, and has really taken my mind off of the madness, if only for a while. Thank you!
The house is cool but the owner seems cooler
Yeah she's cool as
This is another excellent presentation. I love the way Rasa sets the environment with aerial, distant and close up views. You define how the space is being used by panning away and including activities while the discussion continues as Bryce adds the emphasis on purpose. I’m a fan! Much appreciation for your work. Please stay safe.
Thanks so much! So glad you're enjoying our videos. Stay safe!
I agree ...she does it so well, Im in awe...so professional and artistic...understated excellence!
Absolutely, the filming is 100% brilliant, so well done and the perfect partner to Bryce's respectful and endearing ways 😊 you both are such a great team. Love you Rasa and Bryce xx❤
Wow, Steff is such a well spoken young lady. With this tiny house, it seems like she's go her head screwed on right and living life right.
goulash75 why thank you very much 😁 I truly appreciate that!
@@weareallsunlight5359 wow, it's actually you, cool. enjoy your new place
Bryce is such a kind soul. He does such a good job interviewing. Her home is beautiful!
Since late last year I started to suffer from anxiety and stress. I don’t know how it happens that these videos make me feel relax and in peace. Thank you.
Can you imagine big celebrities living like this? So many of them own mansions, only for it to house 1/2/3 people :(
I dream about my OWN tiny house, I really hope this movement will keep growing and force the governments to make it easier for people to downsize. Greeting from UK
It should always be a choice and not people being forced into Tiny Houses. It should be a right.
They will probably make it harder if this movement grows. less taxes going to the government...why would they support it?
I have a feeling more people will be interested in tiny homes after this pandemic is over. Keep up the good work.
@@loverlei79 There's room for all that and more if you are creative - a skill that is also a must if you want to design and build your own tiny house. Don't worry, you probably won't.
Wellness to all wherever you are sheltering in this world! Bryce and Rasa, thank you for quality content to keep us inspired and mentally sharp. Lots of time to design and dream these days.
Very true! It's a great time to design and plan for the future. I hope you're staying safe and well! 💖
She Who Loves The World 💕🇺🇸
I think that I will take the pandemic and lockdown as a chance to build my tiny house. I am currently living in Belgium hoping that we don't need to spend 2 more months in lockdown (this is the 3rd week). If not, I have a chance to return to my home country Latvia where I can spend time in the countryside completely isolated from the rest of the world. Materials are available and if I manage to get equipment- I will go there and build my tiny house. It's been good 3 years of watching your tiny house videos and I'm ready to go for it. Thank you so much for sharing these amazing stories and continuing to inspire people
That sounds like an amazing way to spent your time in lockdown. Be sure to keep us in the loop and let us know how your build goes. All the best and stay safe!
Hello Renata, I do hope that you are safe, and that it’s not too long before you are able to return to Latvia, and your friends and family there. This time is certainly providing a time to consider our priorities, and hopefully making us appreciate all the good things that we have in our lives, and to treat the world and each other with more respect. I wish you every success with your plan to create your own home, and hope that you enjoy every happiness in it. With best regards.
Good luck with your build!
What a lovely lady, and a lovely home... Thanks for the invitation to visit. 👍🏼😊
I don't have job, I don't have my own home, starting bored in this pandemic situation, but I'm very grateful I can still enjoy another happines, like watching the videos from this channel 😍 Thank you so much for your hardwork and passions, it brings joy and I really appreciate it 💞👏 Please stay happy, healthy, and safe 🙏
Have a nice life
You will someday.😊
@@hollyvick181 absolutely true, 4 years later and my life getting much better ❤️
Those views alone are worth the $$$....really pretty home.
I am soooo grateful for these videos, especially right now. With this global pandemic and everyone on lockdown, it feels like all we're getting is depressing and terrifying news reports. One right after the other. Doesn't matter if it's on tv or the internet. This channel is my happy place :) Thank you Bryce & Rasa!
Beautiful home and such a sweet girl, God bless her and her home!!!
The young lady has a great head on her shoulders. She is*Tooo Cooot*... Love how she has decorated her home. You Go Girl!!!😅🎉❤
Conspiracy theory: Bryce is actually a vampire. Notice how he always asks for permission before crossing the threshold? We just need to figure out how he operates during the day and he will be exposed!
😂 This is the best conspiracy theory so far. Thankfully it's out in the open now, I can start filming the tours at night.
What We Do In The Tiny House In The Shadows. I’m waiting for that crossover!
I love how you interact with the home owners because it really gives an insight into their personalities and helps us understand their living space better!
Beautiful young woman with beautiful tiny house. Good luck in the future 👍
Such enthusiasm and positive ways. Thank you for my virtual visit.
IM TRULY IN LOVE WITH THE DESIGN OF HER TINY HOME. CONGRATULATION TO HER AND THE DESIGNER. IT'S PERFECT.
Thank you, I appreciate that! A LOT of hours went into designing it :) (from the "designer/builder")
I got a little kick out of seeing one of her books on the Shelf was Hidden Figures. whenever I meet people from a foreign country it just amazes me how much American culture, meaning, books, television, a music that they actually know.
its kinda like entertainment media isnt endemic ;)
USA cultural dominancy is pandemic
Just binge watched a NZ show called Outrageous Fortune and there were all sorts of American references in it. Mostly related to media and pop culture. Although there was a tow truck driver who had a confederate flag in his tow truck. I thought that was odd and funny.
Kangol Yeahh The confederate flag is known as the rebel flag around the world. It seems it’s flown by many different people.
Almost all tv shows are American.
Nz only has shortland street, a boring show about community drama(eg "oh no Stacy cheated on her HusBanD!!! Gasp"), and it sucks.
Those who can utilize the tiny space and make amazing decorations are geniuses
Earlier had dream of having big million dollars house
But not anymore!!!!
I'm totally going for such house now. It is sooo beautiful.. that's my dream house now!!
I am pleased to hear that you have a backup of videos for 2 months!
Us too! Crazy times!
Good Lord she's absolutely stunning
Something to enjoy during boring quarantine period
You can tell that she adores her tiny house. Looks very lovely. I'm in love with her kitchen
You can feel how simply and nice person its this girl... fells like shes no into other girl normal problems... reallly cool person...
with 85 k... iin argentina you can buy .. a 61 acres ranch,, with a 4 bedroom nice house in it and barn a lake .. and a brand new toyota hilux... of course in country zone like where i livinig already Misiones - Argentina... and still some money left
This is absolutely breathtaking! Never seen you touring any of the African Countries. I'd really love to see your African tours.
What a perfect situation for all involved…..more and more I am inspired and hopeful for the future of our planet. As more and more people start to realize the basic requirements of a happy fulfilling life are simple and basic…..shelter, healthy food, clean water, integrity, community. Love this beautiful young woman. She makes my heart sing!
BRYCE AND RASA, i figured from the date and the handshake that this video was produced before New Zealand faced social distancing. I'm also happy for you two that you made it home, where, even if you can't gather with family, it will reduce your worries about them. Also, I'm glad you have some other backup videos, as I live with my dog, Harper Lee, and my cat, Squeakie Doodle, and we all love y'all and your videos as they are interesting, well-produced, and let us visit beautiful people, places and let us dream of owning a tiny home. We have a single story 1200 sq ft condo with a small front, one side and a small backyard; which, at 76 years, with a chronic pain severe scoliosis back, are all too big for me to keep up. A tiny, loftless, totally open home around 200 sq ft home would be perfect. Your bright, cheery New Zealand open and friendly personalities shine right into my life in South Carolina US. Stay well and safe, and take special care of each other; and y'all will have no trouble with your talent and creative minds in coming up with special, totally appreciated new programs. Love and safe distance hugs, Alice Sullivan.
She makes me smile so beautiful what a gorgeous young lady and sweet little home my favorite tiny house such a useful design.
We are still only in the opening stages of this pandemic.... things are certain to get much much worse. Optimism and positivity are tremendously helpful, but they need to be counter balanced and kept in check with realism and preparation. The idea is not to dwell on speculation and fear, but to acknowledge that extreme dire scenarios are very plausible, if not probable, and hedge against them. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst. My hope is that after we emerge from this crisis, great lessons will have been learned and that we will change the way we live our lives, so dependent on the system, so that the next time crisis hits, we will all be more independent, self sufficient, and prepared.
Absolutely, I do believe that out of this we will discover opportunities for creating a more positive future and that more people will move towards self / communal resilience. I hope you're keeping safe and well!
CAPITALISM IS FAILING THE PEOPLE. 21ST CENTURY SOCIALISM IS THE FUTURE.
@@robinhood7874 does not matter what system you have there are those that find a way to corrupt it towards their own gains, and you can see that by countries that have each system yet they are failing, it is those who are in charge your politicians congressmen and senators , councilmen , lobbyist and they can not make money off tiny houses and the minimalist living life style . and that is a perfect and important point for those who are against it when it comes to elections and who not to vote for
@@fockewulf2352 Agree 100%. This or that -ism - capitalism, socialism, creationism, etc. - are labels we have used for too long to blame others when life gets tough. This channel is a wake-up call. Move away from the big cities. Get off the grid while you can. Be self-sufficient. And do not succumb to AI or 5G or believe everything put out by any media. Love. Laugh. Do not be afraid. Never be afraid. Thank you, Bryce and Rasa, for the humanistic soul-work you are doing.
Ming Lim Brilliant.
I love this home! Seems very spacious! Anyone else binge watching Tiny House videos while in isolation?
I love her lil garden, the stairs, the organisation. I'd love her as her friend haha
I'm glad you're safely home and in isolation. We are in some seriously scary times right now. I have to go to work each day but they have made it as safe as possible. We are doing everything we can. I pray we get past this without many more lives lost. Thank you for your videos to keep us entertained as we make our way through this. Stay positive and safe friends.
It is like being on holidays every single day. At home 🏡 😉🌹
The spacial design is similar to most of the tiny houses I have seen but it surprisingly has a lot of extra space. This tiny house actually looks spacious.
A cool home owner with good vocal and gesture,,,love and respect for the presenter and steff.
Hello again Bryce - I absolutely love this beautiful home. The young woman - equally beautiful in her own right - was so fortunate to have friends that designed and built this beautiful home sell it to her - that's a dream come true! I wish EVERYONE the very best during this global lock down. We'll all come out on the other side and I pray we're all the better for it. Thanks Bryce and Rasa - take care my friends. :)
Thanks so much Charles! I hope you're staying safe and well my friend.
Living Big In A Tiny House I am, thanks so much. The same to you and Rasa. Be safe! 🙏
I definitely need a tiny house. After this pandemic is over, hopefully I will be able to find a tiny house and have the space to myself.
This place is bigger than some South Hampton apartments. I like her double-sided staircase. You only see that in mansions.
Video idea for you - get in touch with homeowners from previous tours and have them take videos of themselves answering "How is lockdown or social distancing going in a tiny house?" It would be a way to get some more content if this drags on and you run out of prerecorded stuff, and I'm actually quite curious how folks are doing when they usually spend a lot of time outside their houses and are now confined in. :)
The double staircase reminds me of the Lilypad tiny house
Mike H. Just thinking that, same design but modern vs funky. Tbh it's seems the best use of space that I've seen so far in tiny houses.
Yes! I thought so too, love this design.
That's what every one of us wish for! A home to call our own and a place to feel free. The great nature around and the possibility to be of the grid is amazing! She took this tiny house and made the best of it.❤
She is truly a lovely young lady.
The house is excellent.
with a sofa and a covered deck it will be perfect!! The sea view is breathtaking!
Thanks Bryce and Rasa for showing us another little gem! 💞
Wow....dude! Over 3 million subscribers! You go, darlin'!
I love the concept of tiny house but a country like Nepal has no such concept of living.But I want to be the first to do so in my place.
Ikr!!! I also have a dream to have a tiny house here at nepal
I wish I could own one of these houses
Its a very stressful time in the world With Covid-19 ,but I think people have seen how the virus has begun to remove the widening disparity between the wealthy and the poor and we can see that Capitalism and the endless pursuit of more ,at the expense of others does not work. A pandemic does not respect money, power or position ! We are all people sharing a small planet and we all need to find joy in small things and that includes tiny living ...thank you Bryce for showing so many of us a better way of living and a better way to be !
Beautiful. And 2 lofts!!!!! Love it 99%. I would only make the dining area more comfortable then 100%. Great job Stef.
The stairs definitely charming! Never seen an open stair like that for storage, creative and beautiful :)
This tiny house is beautiful and I love the pieces of her culture shes placed around her home💚
She’s so young yet she already has a sense of what her values are and has put them in motion. Happy for her.
New Zealand are really really safe and the people are very nice, cheers from Malaysia🇲🇾
Such a lovely home ! I live in the UK 🇬🇧 and my dream is to move to NZ one day and have a tiny house like that, with the view of the 🌊 ocean ! 👏👏👏👏
Beautiful little home in a gorgeous place! Tiny houses make so much sense and fulfill many of our homey needs! Love these tours & hearing from tiny home dwellers! Cheers, thanks & love!! :-)
Sea Tree Wonder thank you! :)
The stainless steel kitchen counter is beautiful. Luv it.
Loving the double staircase and lofts. The master loft is beautiful! 👍🏻
🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
Bryce, you found your dream job brother. I'm 37 and I wanna be like you when I grow up partner. Peace & Blessings homie ✌️
Thanks so much! It really is a dream job. All the best to you!
That's a beaut. Love the dual stairs with storage and the space in the dining end. Would add a super cozy couch there and make it more of a lounge. Thank you, stay healthy, none of this is worth stressing over. God bless!
These tiny house videos are getting me through some tough times!
I binge watch this channel, and didn't realize it was the next day, that's great this channel is.
You two’s kiwi accent reminds me of my Uni time in NZ. I miss my friends there ❤️
I know it is Friday, 2 am here but excitedly waited for the notification. Finally 🙌! Thank you Bryce and Rasa.
Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy the episode and then get some sleep!!! 😴
@@livingbig yes I will!
It's Thursday 17:00 here in BC, Canada.

These Tiny houses seem to be getting bigger and bigger!
Tears of the Massai.... Saw the book 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪😘
I really like this one, it's contemporary and practical. My jaw hit the floor at the price but if you have the skills then it's amazing what you can achieve with very little. Loved the kitchen especially.
Loving !!!! The double staircase 💜💜
Bryce, I LOVE the music you use in all of your videos. It’s so soothing and PERFECT! I hope it always remains! ❤️❤️❤️
The home and the owner are both very lovely! Her eyes are very open and her mindset very smart.
This is wonderful. I'm designing a few tiny houses and this has just given me another great Idea .
Love this home Bryce and Rasa!😍 Just to give hope, my friend has the SARS-2CoV which is the cv that causes Covid-19. She is feeling better after only 5 days😅 A French Professor and Virologist of la Timone Hospital in Marseille France named Didier Raoult has come up with a cure that is currently being tested👏👏 Keep up your immune systems with Vitamine D3 and liposomale C, lots of fruits and veggies and stay safe all💞💞💞
So glad you enjoyed the video! Stay safe and well!
I like the layout of the place. Its really open. The kitchen is a nice size and a lot of storage. Also love how modern it is on the outside
Hello Valerie how are you doing!!
How beautiful! I can see Gods hand providing this for you as it was so easy! Awesome!!!
I love the interior! Beautiful house Stef! Adding to one of my favorite featured Tiny House! Thanks Bryce and Rasa!
zeroexia thank you! :)
Love this! Things id add- a curtain over the wall for privacy in bedroom. A laundry shutter at bedroom. A pully system at other side for snacks/dishes upstairs at other side. Full length Towel rails and caddys In bathroom 💖💖💖💖
Hi Ema Jay - All good ideas. I couldn't live with the exposed toilet plumbing in the bathroom. I'd have to have it boxed in or otherwise disguised. Cheers from Downunder, Nadine 😎🙃
Отличный дом! Отличительно и со вкусом поставлена и соблюдается беседа.
Beautiful woman and beautiful small cozy house
loving the double staircase!
I'm in love
Beautiful Home Beautiful Lifestyle
Bryce & Rasa superb just superb cleanly designed & laid out. One thing left out is baby play area!
I learned everything I know about Auckland from binge watching Outrageous Fortune on Amazon Prime. 😂🤣
“Here is how this woman thinks outside the box” => proceeds to show a box
Yes but she only thinks when she's outside of that box...
Very elegant tiny house! I love it!💖👍
Hello Editha how are you doing!!
this is one of my favorite designs but i also like her idea to make the bedroom more closed off--maybe some more leafy, hanging plants over that area could add a nice privacy feature :]
I really need something like this due to covid19
Yeah, I think there will be lots of people looking at tiny homes as a secure housing option after the pandemic. I hope you're safe and well.
Are tiny houses exempt from building codes regarding stairs. I've noticed in just about every tiny house the step and riser very significantly from those allowed in regular homes, along with the omission of hand rails.
They must be exempt. I think it’s classified as a vehicle and not a permanent structure, which are classed differently here in Oakland, California, as far as I have researched.
This is the best setup yet. The view, the stairs, the layout... She knocked this out of the park
I REALLLLY LOVE everything about this tiny home!!!
Leesa thank you leesa
