Tiny House Concept Adapted Into Amazing Modern Home

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 มิ.ย. 2018
  • This stunning small home has been constructed using tiny house design principles as part of a new suburban subdivision in Wanaka New Zealand. At 33 square meters (355 square feet) it's a very compact home and is filled with super clever tiny house and small space design ideas.
    Become a Living Big Patron: / livingbig
    Constructed from structurally insulated panels or SIPs, this tiny house is well insulated, modern and constructed from very high quality materials.
    www.livingbiginatinyhouse.com...
    Building a house on foundations using the tiny house concept has allowed Will and Jen to create a home which is the best of both worlds. It's streamlined to the couples needs, takes up a very small footprint and has all the advantages of a tiny house, yet it's also not restricted to the standard tiny house dimensions and road-travel limitations, allowing the small home to be much higher and a bit wider than a conventional tiny house. It also means they haven't had to take weight into consideration in their build.
    I hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

    A stationary tiny home really appeals to me! I don't want my home to be on wheels, but I do want to live a simple, minimalist lifestyle.

      Yes, loved the use of wine as a measurement. But there's a reason why you have kick-panels. You can't stand right up to the work surface without one. A relative built his kitchen without them and I found it very awkward to do close-up detailed cake icing (or other precision jobs).

In this case, if you wanted to do those things which require you to be there for long periods, you could always move to the other side of the bench. By moving the chairs out of the way you will have plenty for space for your feet and can stand as close as you need.

      These people are older, in many new builds the bath attached to the bedroom only has a large walk in shower. There will be one bath in the house for bathing kids. They may just have the tub for soaking after a rare day of strenuous activity.
      Me, I'm a go in to the shower and contemplate my entire life person. But that's the point of the show, to show different tiny houses so you get ideas for you own build. I've seen builds where a quarter of the downstairs is dedicated to a bathroom, with soaker tubs. To each there own.

    Given the size, it was strange for them to be so miserly with the bathroom dimensions. Surely they had space to allow another 12inches in width. The size of the vanity seems unnecessarily large for the space as well. A smaller basin, just a fancy chrome waste downpipe and some shelves would have been better space savers in there than the huge vanity..

    See, I love this. And have been thinking about something like this for a long time. If you don't want/need the home to be mobile then using the same principles but with a little more leg room sounds perfect. It's still comparably tiny compared to standard, even small, homes. It's minimal. It's efficient. But it can be a little spacious at the same time.

    Architecturally speaking, this is a Very Clever design for a tiny house. I love it! Very excellent curb appeal❣️ I love the materials you have selected for the exterior and a great class in elegance towards the outside, more than most tiny homes❣️I would rate this tiny house at 10 on exterior alone… I love the Deck size & Appearance of Large Space between the house and garage, and I just can’t say enough about the Elegant curb appeal ❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
    I appreciate that you had extra money that was spent for the insulation value of your tiny home, in terms of the windows, roof tile, quality of materials on the exterior so that you had More comfort on the interior, & so on, and I do realize not everybody Can afford that, but as you said, you were looking for this to be your “forever home”.
    Aesthetically speaking, on the inside, from an interior designer standpoint, I don’t know if you had to help or not but you knocked it out of the park in terms of selecting clever but Bold choice of color throughout your home…A bright blue or a bright green downstairs and a suspended green curtain in the loft...Most people would be afraid of the brilliant colors and I not only LOVED that you used 1, but a Variety through the House...
    I love the thoughtfulness that went into your home in terms of the skinny toaster or the smaller coffee pot do you positivity that you conquered issues and the HUGE ANOUNT OF SPACE in Your Great Area (Living & Kitchen~ both Real & Implied (by the taller walls & ceilings & windows)...Which brings so much relaxation and ambience and joy & a Sense of peace the moment we “walk” into your home....💕💕
    Kudos on your ingenuity for the blowup bathtub as well as the “short faucet” in your bathroom... it only goes to show that people can resolve an issue if they just try hard enough. I think more people will steal your idea and I find the more I watch these tiny home videos that the owners of tiny homes are far more resourceful than your every day large house owner. But in my opinion, you guys have taking the prize, not because You spent the most, better because You checked so many boxes for longevity and Contentment in your home as you built it❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️LOVED IT💕

    • @DiscoFang
      @DiscoFang 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Except his rationale behind "finding" that extra wine case space was the total opposite of good design. They eliminated the toekicks which actually serve a fundamental and necessary function for use of the benchtops. He thought they were being clever by getting rid of the toekicks "because that's the way they build kitchens now". Uhhh no, that's the way you build kitchens. Full stop. The hilarious part is that it's now fairly common practice to utilise
      the toekick space for drawers. Perfect for oven trays, dishware and.... wine bottles.
