Incredible Shipping Container Home By The Sea Is A Small Space Marvel

- After spending its life on the open ocean, this shipping container landed on the shores of New Zealand where it was transformed into a spectacular home for a dynamic young couple. After living in the container home for three years, a new addition to the family inspired a renovation project which saw the tiny house transform into a family home.

Kim and James have done an incredible job with the design and build of their container home. Completely council consented, they constructed their home from a 40ft shipping container which was chopped down to 30ft to be able to fit onto the section and fit in with local regulations. Around the container home, they have constructed a large deck and a wonderful outdoor living area.

The home is positioned above two 20ft shipping containers, one which acts as storage space and one which functions as a base of operations for the couple’s company, a t-shirt design and printing business. Ultimately here, James and Kim have created a spectacular work / home balance thanks to some very clever small space design.
Kim is also an author who has recently published a children’s book about an architect deigning a tiny house. To find out more about that click here: www.kimberly-andrews.com/puff...

After 3 and a half years the house still looks new. Fantastic! Bryce has never ran out of words to describe each and every house he visited. Great job!
Bryce is probably the BEST host/interviewer on whole TH-cam. I absolutely loved the energy and calm voice. Fantastic production in all the videos too.
That's very clever
only thing he needs to work on is the variety of the things he says. He always says the exact same 4 phrases when people show him stuff lol
I agree, very likable guy.
I really love these tiny homes àlot and I don't know just how am gonna have mine made but am hopeful one Bryce will visit my tiny house here in Africa!!!!
@@jck1794 but notice how they all are compliments!
Her art sensibility is all over the house. The shade of the wall paper, the pictures on the walls, the tiny model of the same house kept inside, the stuff in the kitchen, literally like illustrations. The builder has done a good job on his part. He deserved a bigger acknowledgment, Bryce.
"We haven't made the house any bigger, but it feels like it is with her here." Awww...
I still can't get over the amount of space they have despite chopping off a section of this container. Absolute genius work!
When the cabinet for that long seat was being opened I was like:"wooah"
And then when it kept on going I was like:"WOOahhhh"
And then when they flipped the covers to make them seats I was like:"*WOOOOOOAAAA*AHHH"

Hahahaha me too!!
😂😂😂 exactly
Yay, a children's book! I love that they can spend their life work together!
What a lovely family. I just watch this video 5 years after it aired on this channel. The floor plan is very creative. They can fit a bedroom, kitchen, living room and bathroom in a small space. Her children book is also very pretty. God bless.
"It's nicer to have a few nice things that you treasure then a whole lot of things"
No truer words were ever spoken. I think that's the motto you have to live by to live in a tiny house. It's the mindset that lets you live simplistically in a smaller space and be happy. You can't live like that if it's all about material possessions. I think that's why the tiny house movement is taking on so well. Because more and more people are realizing that it's not all about the stuff.
Agree...
Well said!
that bed and dining area design is simply brilliant!!!!!!!!!!
Molle Nifkin
You are looking very nice
This is one of my favorite tiny home..not house but home. There is a difference and this couple got it. Thank them and all the homeowners for sharing!
A tiny house brings the residents closer to each other, you guys seem happy, for now you are doing exactly what you like. Thats what matters.
Thanks so much to everyone for expressing your condolences over the tragic event in New Zealand. It's devastating to see this happen in my home country. I never thought that we would see something like this occur in NZ. My heart goes out to the victims and their families. It's a very sad and dark time for our country.
Love and prayers from Malaysia
I thought about you when I heard the news. You've introduced me to New Zealand in such a charming way. I was so shocked and sad to hear about this horrible terrorist attack in Christchurch. It is so sad and pointless. My heart and prayers are with the victims and their friends and families and with all of New Zealand. We stand with you!
Sending lots of love from Canada x
Special prayers and condolences to all that was unfortunately affected from the State of Georgia in the U.S.A.
Keep spreading your positive energy WE as a people need it ♥️♥️♥️
That is one lucky baby to have parents who care more about people than material possessions.
She sure is! This is one very loved and well looked after kid. :)
Yes!very lucky! I wish my parents cared about me. They would pick material possessions over me anyday
Money comes and goes, but people leave once. Good for you! ♥️
Meg Kampen . I'm sorry that you had to experience that. It's really difficult not to take it personally although you did nothing to cause the neglect. If you live in an area where there are Celebrate Recovery.meetings, you may want to consider making contact with them online and then in person. You'll find out a lot of really good things about yourself
@Francisco Delgado that would not fix her lol
Does Bryce know he is a modern time super hero inspiring people to really adopt tiny home and healthy living? They refer to him in many videos.... like "I watched your videos and I did this!". Guy is a hero for doing this.
Love from Cameroon.
Mark my words. I am going to build my own tiny house with my own two hands, and when I do, your invited to my house. Love your channel. It’s really inspiring.
Thank you for something cheerful, Bryce, on a absolutely horrific morning here in New Zealand...
You're welcome David. I know, I was devastated when I heard the news. Hard to believe that something like that can happen in our country. Such a sad day.
David Haywood my heart goes out to you in beautiful New Zealand and it’s amazing people.
Thinking of all of you there in NZ. I spent a few weeks in your beautiful country in Aug/Sept. I regularly watch your channel. Leesa in France.
Peace, to all of you.
I have no words NZ I’m truly sorry and my heart is with you.
I don't know what has impressed me more, the incredible shipping container home OR the attitudes and decision making of the incredible couple. What a sweet family and they have their priorities in order so can enjoy a full comfortable life in a tiny home. Great job guys and congratulations on the new baby! From Texas!
Good reminder of beautiful people at a time of tragedy.
I sincerely hope people in NEW Zealand are overcoming all that tragedy. Greetings from Colombia, I hope I could travel there soon.
That lounge/bed solution is great without compromising on comfort for all involved. Very creative and looks quite affordable to do as well.
Yeah finally we get to see that idea implemented! :) I think that's much better than a murphy or a lifting bed
I could live in a box with the right person too :)
LOL! Me too.....maybe.
I pretty much do. My husband and I spend most of our time in the living room, and just sleep in the bedroom lol. My office is the upstairs room. (we live in a small 2 bedroom cape cod. It's 750sq ft) I actually love my house a lot. It has a huge back yard for our two doggies. :)
Michal Rafael I left a 6 bedroom 5 bathroom house to travel the U.S. with my boyfriend ( now husband) living in hotel rooms for 5 years. We got so used to it that when we settled down, we knew we didn’t like being in different rooms apart from each other and we went tiny. We homestead and I could never do this with anyone else 😊 I hope you find that right person. Namaste 🙏🏼
@@Just-Nikki You both are so lucky :) All the best to you!
My pets only!! My children can visit though😁
They are so humble and focused. Thats what i admire most about this video. Thay also made tiny homes apart of their wedding, her books, and their lives
James and Kim sound like very lovely people
That ceiling is to die for. Such a beautiful motif. And she's hand drawn the whole thing. What a lovely way to make a space truly personal and a gallery at the same time.
I love how you’ve been featuring people that have been inspired by your videos, it’s really come full circle!
Couldn't resist having a peek at Kimberley's books, they all look wonderful! Also James' T's, patches and pinsare amazing. Of course Nova has grown too!
This is one of my favourites!
Bryce and Raza, thank you for all the work you do to bring these videos to the world!
귀여운아기랑 행복하게사세요~^^♥
I must say, i was shocked to hear the council was on board for this project!!!!!!!!!! You never, ever, hear this anywhere else.
Sooo nice to listen to downsized people. They are all so satisfied and free of pressure. Also nice layout.
Big thumbs up to Kym , James and their growing family , what a great philosophical outlook 👍😊
Other container houses feel like a hotel, very luxurious. This one feels like home. So cozy.
We absolutely loved meeting James, Kim and their new baby. They are such a sweet young family and they have truly built a beautiful home filled with clever design ideas. I hope you enjoy the visit to their home as much as we did! Be sure to let me know what you liked about the home in the comments below, and remember to please give the video a share if you can!
Spreading the word of tiny housing so passionately and reasonably at the same time does start becoming a little avalanche, Bryce, doesn't it? People telling how Your channel inspired their tiny house journey are starting to pile up on Your channel. 😂
I am actually in contact with a buncha people starting to think about tiny living around the Munich area, and Your channel has been named recurrently as one of the more important inspirations ever since.
There's still a lot of trouble with regulations when it comes to actual "living" in legal, permanent tiny houses no matter on wheels or in Containers without those, and nothing seems to help against the Bavarian rules for housing in this stage, but some people are working on it nonetheless. Legalities will have to change, given the shortage of ANY affordable living around here.
Thank You for being a great inspiration spreading such amounts of passionate optimism in each of Your videos.
Living Big In A Tiny House 👍🏻👍🏻😱💕💋💋
I do love what they have done it is great. The favorite for me was the side siting that comes out from the side of the under bed. Much more room for people to sit at the table. They have set up a very nice floor plan. It is nice that they have lived there for more than a few months so they have a good feel for the house. The bath is very nice too. Thanks for the video.
hi bryce! what an amazing house!!! i love the color and the design, a lot of storage... im a fan of your show coz i love the way you present each house so inspiring to built one..🤗
Hi, Bryce. I hope your family and friends in NZ are okay. We kept switching over to the news yesterday as soon as I read about what was happening online. As an Aussie, I just can't believe what happened. I was nearly in tears. My cousins have family in New Zealand, though I'm not sure which part, but we haven't heard any bad news from them.
You guys are still the best in the tiny house game! Thank you!
Cheers John!
@@livingbig BY FAR THE VERY BEST.
WOW. What a sweet couple/family. They really created a beautiful AND functional space. The pullouts under the living space is brilliant. I watch a lot of these and van life videos and whenever they get to the making and unmaking the bed/couch on a daily basis a feel a bit of dread knowing if it were me I’d just be living with the bed out all the time! Lol. This solves that problem. Better than a Murphy bed. So ingenious.
... I hate how every time I watch your videos I find a new favorite tiny home. I find myself showing your videos to all those around me lol. Keep up the awesome work and seeking out these great people
I'm so obsessed with shipping container homes😭😭😭😭 First house I build FOR SURE! My lips to Gods' ears🙏
Go For It!!!
Until you realize how much bare shipping container cost, even used )))
This is one of the best tiny houses I have ever seen. It’s so roomy and functional and it looks so good too. I would live in this house, it’s gorgeous.
Love their home and the couple.
Brilliant design! These young people got it so right. Thank you Bryce for sharing with us.
Of ALL the tiny house videos I've watched, THIS is the coolest floor plan of all! Good job guys!
Hello Marit
I want to stop saying this is my favourite house every time. But I love all the houses you show us but some I can actually see myself living in and this is one of them. I love the slide away bed as I think we waste big bedrooms as we only sleep there. In my house the biggest bedroom is my studio and the smallest one barely fits my bed which is perfect for me :-) Well thought out and planned, I just love it
Glad you like the home Erika! And it's totally okay to have a new favourite each week. I feel the same!
I can relate haha
More amazed that she had a baby 2 months before this video...WOW! She looks awesome!
My condolences to the people of NZ. Your PM have showed the world how "A leader of all citizen" looks like. We here in the West have failed. I am a big fan of your channel for many years and as a U.S. citizen my thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of NZ. Peace.
Bryce, I am just amazed at how you can continuously produce such an excellent episode on your show. Why this series and your talents have not been picked up by a TV network for syndication is beyond me. Well done sir!
They seem like such a beautiful couple. Sending love to NZ today.
Thank you! They really are such a great couple. Thanks for your thoughts.
These guys are really happy with their home.......i can see that in their faces
The fact the open minded and ecologic local counsel is the best part of this particular episode: where as I live is absolutely authoritative, abusive, negative back, ward minded farmers! Negative to everything creative and innovative, specially individual freedom despite everything inline with regulation! Good luck guys!
Just heard about the recent shooting incident in New Zealand. The news was tragic. My prayers with the families. Stay safe Bryce and Rasa ❤️
Thank you! Yes, tragic indeed. Such a shock to see something like that happening in New Zealand. A very sad day for all.
PocketFullOf Sunshine agree, so so tragic. Love to NZ
My prayers and tears to all of the families effected by the tragedy in New Zealand
PocketFullOf Sunshine *sigh* PewDiePie why :’(
@Beach on Budget Please let me also know if you find anything on tiny houses in India.. Thanks in advance..☺️
The lounge/bed solution is great, the best one I've seen so far! Bryce I really like the way you present each project. You have a way with people. Love your channel.
I lived in my 40ft Caravan, by the sea for a few years and it's the best thing I ever did.... :)
Neat house. Shipping container homes are the future! Calling it now!
Award winning
💫⭐️🌟✨💫 5 stars
Best editing
Best filming!!!
Best container design
Best patio design
Cutest couple ever!!!
19minutes and 36 seconds of pure inspiration!!!
Awesome to see how this container home has changed and evolved over the time they have lived there! I actually had a short film they made themselves of the house already added to favorites in my youtube feed from a year or two ago. Especially love the idea of the workshop underneath the home and that outdoor bath. Great one guys
Just beautiful, the baby, the house, them individually as people and together as a couple. Love them. God bless you.
"It's nice to have a few amount of nice things" very true :)
The architectural firm could have got a bit more of a shout out considering the super clean work they did 👍
This is such a positive program. really makes my day.
One of the best tiny house...
I am so sorry for every single New Zealander in the wake of such an awful terror attack. I live in Scotland and remember after Dunblane, how personal it feels when evil takes hold and destroys life in your beautiful country. My prayers and love go out to everyone impacted either directly or indirectly!
I actually came on to say that this tiny house is beautiful! I am a passionate collector of children’s books with two children of my own, I am delighted to see Kimberly on here- my son aspires to be an architect although is a bit older than those books are aimed for (11). I may just have to buy Puffin the architect just because of my love of tiny houses!
Really nice to hear the story of them living for the full 3 years in a tiny home and perfectly managed to do so while growing as a family!
Yes! When they said they had been there 3 years I realised that is why they have such a "settled" feel about them, of course, as I type, it's 5 years and Nova is a toddler 😃
I love this design and the young couple were so likable and created a wonderful loving home for their family. What more could you ask for in a home.
What a lovely family and a great home. Baby steals the show...
Wow the thing I love about such homes is the house belongs to you, you have freedom to do whatever you want in a small space so you have to be creative and each tiny home has special effects either lights, stairs, storage, speaker, open roof, beds out of nowhere things you don't get in a conventional house I love it. And you don't leave a lot of carbon footprint and it's cheaper than conventional homes with the same effects.
you guys epitomize my favorite saying - -
'i would rather appreciate things i cannot have, than have things i cannot appreciate'
This is one of the smartest designs for a tiny house I've ever seen. Really smart.
The best container and tiny house so far i've seen. Like every boxes are checked. Like seriously this is the design that i like.
This one is great I see them converting the lounge into the child's bedroom in the future and putting the tv on the wall across from the front door.
What a beautiful little baby. Very sweet family and home.
This is seriously one of the most brilliant tiny homes I’ve ever seen
I have seen a few of these tiny houses videos now, and this is the first one where both of them are equally enthusiastic about their house.
The best and practical tiny house,I have seen ,so functional
This house is absolutely brilliant! I looooove the changing table, the long bench storage and the hideaway bed! I’m not too keen on the idea of a loft so this is quite perfect. Great job you guys.
Wow the dining and bedroom area combo is the best one I've seen so far! Good job to the owners and builders!
Ive seen it before though in Spain, designed by a Spanish architect, it's on Kirsten Dirksen's channel
I think this tiny house make jack
I have watched a few episodes of this channel in the past, but have binge watched it this weekend. It's truly amazing how creative some people are with their space. I am a minimalist by nature, and this seems like a change that I would really love to make. And Bryce really does remind me of Heath Ledger...favorite actor of all-time (RIP).
A tiny house by the sea seems pretty normal as many seaside homes are small. Very nice space-having the bed at ground level and the living raised. They really care about how one feels in a space. Kim sounds like a Yank! No biiiig deeks for her!! : ). God help New Zealand right now. Thanks.
Bryce, I’m so saddened by the tragic events happening in your country. Know that many many prayers and thoughts go with you.
Coming from the States we are rocked and shook by tragedy on a daily basis.
I watch many videos from New Zealand creators and I consistently say how beautiful and peaceful your country seems. I pray for peace again.
Thank for all of the great videos you consistently put out.
Thank you so much Donna. Yes, it's hard for me to believe that something like this can happen in New Zealand. It's a real shock. It's just as terrible to see such horrific events occurring in America and other countries, and I never expected to see anything like this ever happen in New Zealand.
Thanks for watching our videos and for your support.
I love the pull-out bed and dining table! The big space in the middle during the day when neither are being used is great. Awesome and functional design!
Would love to see a follow up episode of this family when the little one is bigger!
I liked the narrow, high windows.
Wall/shelf space in a tiny home is very important. This gives wall space and light.
Love the design of this shipping container, so functional yet homely. What a lovely couple and a lucky baby being brought up in a tiny home, in the most gorgeous location. 🏡😊
Absolutely! It's great to see how many great features they have packed into this home. Some very clever design indeed! The location is stunning too!
After horrifying incident of today I wish people in your country are safe and my condolences to victims and their families...Every episode is just another level of sustainable living, getting closer to nature and making sensible decisions that affect our vicinity..Lovely couple Mr. James and Ms. Kim..Loved this house tour ..Again with wishful thinking that people would try to make world a better place to live in and I would make such a home for myself one day, many thanks Mr. Langston for inspiring us with these beautiful spaces...😍😊
Thanks Richa! It's absolutely my pleasure. Thanks for watching, I'm really glad you find the videos valuable
@@livingbig Absolutely, it's my pleasure too..Keep up with this awesome concept..Wish you and your team all the good luck..😊
IT'S TIME TO CRUSH THE FAR RIGHT BEFORE THEY RADICALISE MORE OF OUR CHILDREN
What a wonderful little family and a tiny but perfectly formed home. Well done to this couple their architects and their local planners, working together to make tiny house living part of the (for want of a better word) "normal" housing community. I very much hope more of this will happen around our world. Everyone deserves a comfy, cosy and safe home and community. My thoughts are with New Zealanders at this very sad time.
It is truthfully said, that the first half of our lives are spent acquiring “stuff”, and the last half of our years “downsizing” or getting rid of extra stuff.
This proves that life is more than “stuff”, after all, hearses don’t have trailer hitches snd we can’t take it with us.
Personally, I have at least 3 generations of stuff that I am “storing” for my family - and I am single, with one cat!
I am working towards getting financially capable of going to smaller accommodations and a tiny house or camper-van /RV looks like a good option.
for me.
I am exploring several options at this time and enjoy the information-gathering process. Thanks for the ideas.
This is my favourite video of yours so far! A married couple with a baby living in a well designed home.... what more could you ask for?
Love love love ...... I've come to the conclusion I will never have 'one' favorite home .... I do love this one ..... so very creative with the space.
And Bryce, thanks for adding all the background info on the container and the build. That was special and much appreciated. One of my favorite videos.
May peace be with you all in NZ. So sorry for your losses.
A great job as usual Bryce. Thanks so much to you, your team and this lovely young couple with their beautiful innocent bubba. Fans of Tiny Houses are all folks who care about our world, so using any media format you have access to, can you send a message with thoughts of peace and empathy to the folks in NZ. A wave of loving and positive energy may help stem the rising tide of hatred and bigotry.
I just watched this again and find the design so unique. It would be interesting to revisit this house and see the changes made as their beautiful child becomes a toddler!
Great family, beautiful home. Prayers for New Zealand, God bless.
No need to bring religion into this man
Mine as well
@@danielcheng769 it was said cuz a tragic event happened there
Daniel Cheng who is bringing religion in this
I really enjoyed this episode. The home is so practical! and I love the energy and attitude of the couple too :)
I first saw the video three years ago and I still think the concept with the bed and the space in general is so incredibly brilliant! It's still one of the greatest concepts I've seen so far! 😍
Beautiful, little home and a beautiful, little family
Love seeing these container homes. I hope all is well with you Bryce and you weren't near what happened. Sending NZ lots of prayers from the Caribbean.
Thank you. We are traveling in Australia at the moment so were well clear of harm. I was sure to check in with friends and family who live in the area and they are all okay. It was absolutely heart breaking to hear the news and see such a terrible event happen in my home country. I never thought we would ever see anything like this happen in New Zealand. My heart goes out to the victims and their family.
Love and prayers from The Bahamas!
And from Denmark ❤️
And from Germany*
And from Switzerland 💜
Small spaces get messy quickly. But they're way easier and quicker to clean. My kinda house.
Bryce, this has been one of the best container houses you featured! Kudos!
Would be so happy even more if you feature tiny houses in the Philippines as well. I LOVE YOU!!!
First of all my condolences to everyone affected by the terrible incident in New Zealand ..... 2ndly What an awesome home!!!
This is a pleasure to see so many people having similar thought abt materialistic possession and understand the true importance of building bonds with family and enjoying a happy and comfortable life.
Generally, people misinterpret "luxury" to be "comfort" and "being rich" to be "being happy".
Cheers mate, I am actually impressed by how you built your career from your interest and my whole Monday Night went into binge watch your channel videos.
Even I am planning to build a tiny house, I hope one day I can call you and tell my story.
Happy New Year by the way.
$100,000 NZD = $68,473.81 USD = so affordable for so much!
Thank you for the price conversion!
Considering houses in Wellington sell for $800,000+ for a basic 3 bedroom. $100,000 is very good.
And the plot of land already belonged to her parents:( it’s so hard to find people who did it without that significant amount of help. But I suppose that’s the creativity in tiny home building.
Bryce visits so many different countries he should add the conversion rates in the videos
NoirVelours I’m assuming that was the price for everything. Often not discussed in some videos. That’s a lot of custom building. Plus has container below for storage and one for office/work area. Very good pricing
I thought that when I get older I will buy a big house but after watching this I'm convinced that I would, buy a small house
Who agree buying a small house
Incredible couple. Such an inspiration
Hello Betty
