One Man's Dream Tiny House You Have To See

  • This dream tiny house is one that you have to see. This amazing small home is a unique combination of industrial and whimsical styles and is largely made from reclaimed and recycled materials, resulting in an incredibly spacious and luxurious home. Even more incredible is the story of this home's construction and its builder.
    If you enjoy our videos, please consider supporting us on Patreon: / livingbig
    The entire tiny house was constructed as a DIY build by owner Matt, who before this project had very little experience building. His completion of this home stands as a testimony of just what can be accomplished if you push through the hard times and keep working towards your goals.
    Read more about Matt’s story here: www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com...
    Thanks to the DIY nature of the build and the use of many reclaimed materials, this dream home was also built for an astoundingly low price! All throughout this home, there are artistic and high quality features which make every corner of the tiny home stand out. I hope you enjoy the full video tour of this very special tiny house on wheels.

    Both Matt's home and his personal story are incredible. I often say that my absolute favourite part of my job is the people that I get to meet and this weeks story is a perfect example of that. Matt is one of the most inspirational, creative and hard working people that I've ever met. He is a living lesson in how much we can accomplish if we set our mind to overcoming adversity and working towards our goals. I hope you enjoy his story and this video. With love, Bryce & Rasa.

    I have to say, I watched this video 5 times, in a row. This build was more than about a house. I was so inspired, moved, encouraged and amazed, by what Matt was able to do and the reasons behind it. His house is stunning but his personality is so much more. Never, have I been emotional about a house, but here I am, so honored, humbled and grateful, to have seen this video.

    I have watched literally thousands of tiny house videos and this house is my favorite. Matt is amazing 👏 and has done an incredible job creating this beautiful house. You can tell that Bryce was immensely impressed by the house and by Matt. The message of conquering uncertainty (with this build and his medical challenges) is a wonderful reminder that despite life's struggles, there is beauty in the struggle. Life is so precious and Matt reminds us to be grateful and always try to grow and be content with what you have and where you are in life.

The tiny house is amazing, but as others have said, Matt is even more amazing. I don't think I've seen another house that truly reflects its owner/builder to the extent that this one does.

If so, not for long, HA!!! LOVELY and all your hard work paid off - I would LOVE to live there! The personal touches and quality contruction is everywhere - and he did it all by himself and kept going! I love the wood and all the special materials! CONGRATULATIONS! Heidi

      It's such an affirmation of the demons we fight and conquer...And keep fighting.

    This is perhaps the most beautiful house ~ small or large ~ that I've seen in a while. I too built my own house (in 1988 and I'm 67 now in 2021) and I have loved every minute of living in it. Although my own house is a bit larger at 40' by 28', my journey with it was very similar to Matt's description of his. I built everything in my own house besides the plumbing and the foundation cement work. I hope that Matt overcomes his medical problem so that he can enjoy his home for many many years to come.

      The documentary, "65 Red Roses" brought the disease to my attention. Such a horror... up there with ALS. My grandmother died from ALS. Two neighbor children died from CF. With the technology of today, no one should ever have such disease.

    I have viewed this episode at least 6-7 times! I've saved it to my favorites so whenever I need a dose of inspiration it 's close at hand. Matt has managed to be super creative and have continuity throughout his home. So often people end up with a tiny home that is a mix of so many different styles that there is no place to feel peace and relax! Matt shares wisdom thru his experiences and makes the listener wish he was a personal friend! Hands down my favorite tiny home.......and my favorite interview of a super talented guy! Wish we got to hear him play the violin....maybe this Christmas?? Blessing on you Matt! Bryce , I enjoy watching all your videos...thank you and keep 'em comin'.

    Matt is such refreshing young guy! The way he eloquently and warmly describe this beautiful space and the friends who helped him along this journey brought a smile to my face! I wish him many, many more years of good health and happiness..
