Canadian winters are harsh, those windows would be lovely for three seasons, but might be regrettable at -30C in high winds. We lived in our cottage for years with lots of windows, and I consider a home with a lot of windows to be a three season dwelling, after having lived in one in Ontario, Canada.
For my taste, the floor space of the kitchen is very large compared to the living area. I see this in a lot of tiny houses. Prep space is nice, but wouldn't it be more easy to have some sort of foldable counterspace that can be hinged down, or removed otherwise? After cooking you then have a larger living space. Or a smaller tiny house having more or less the same functionality.
There are Tiny's with less kitchen length, but they also tend to be way shorter and only have loft bedrooms. At the same time I'm very sure that there are builders (prob including this one) that w/b more than happy to work with you to design one exactly the way you want it. If you are serious about it check out different builders, ask a lot of questions, & find one that's a fit for you.
For the lofted bedroom, it would be better if the walk-in was recessed below so there was near standing room. This would cut into some space below, but worth in my opinion. How it is now requires crawling in that adults 40+ probably wouldn't want to do.
And/or reduce the size of the loft to just the bed. So it's more like getting in and out of bed and you don't need to move over a distance to reach it. Some lowered platforms work around the bed to access both sides with standing space.
@@dorysmum5732 Foam mattress can come in a compressed vacuum sealed roll that makes it easier to get in such tight spaces. But getting it out will be difficult but not impossible.
I had to watch the video twice so blown away with how distinctive and attractive this tiny home was. I enjoyed seeing the large windows and tall ceilings I think the kitchen cabinet could be lowered and a smaller narrower placed over the sink. I know I couldn't access that microwave the way it is. The downstairs bedroom is a real bonus. Thank you for sharing this tiny home.
Yay ground floor bedroom! I would not be able to use those stairs with my prosthetic leg. It's a cute design, as far as a permanent home, there's a few things I would change. Open shelves in the kitchen, pull out pantry. I'd shrink the fridge to make for a larger shower since I can't quite shower standing on one foot; I need a shower bench. 🤷🏼♀️
'no compromises were made on size' truly capturing the essence of the tiny home movement there. I think I need to 'Explore Alternatives' to this channel, because it's just taking the mickey at this point.
Living in northern 🇯🇵 and that roof wouldn’t work here because of the shape/design. All the snow would’ve broken it. Also, what’s up with the host’s vernacular?
Yeah, that roof is an odd choice. There is a reason why certain roof types are dominant in certain parts of the world. Even a heavy rain could cause disaster because it has only one direction where the water can flow (I'm guessing here that the middle has a drain, I hope at least). And I didn't even think of the snow.
Algonquin is a large beautiful park , a true wilderness area nice that you have these tiny's to rent that way one who would like to construct a tiny home can see what it would be like to live in.
I have to admit, this comes across as an advertisement for harmony resorts more than it does a home that somebody actually owns and lives in. The time of showing everybody and anybody's Airbnb may be over. I'm not seeing anything innovative or new from what you have shown before. I guess I'm looking for evolution of design, or perspectives on what makes this better than other designs. It may be that the "Airbnb / rental" tiny house is no longer unusual enough on its own as a topic for so many of these tiny house channels. Some of them are branching out into not so tiny and in fact almost anti-frugal homes. These aren't so much tiny homes as they are tiny hotel rooms for making money by the owners. It's actually counter to the entire tiny house movement, where people actually own a home in a couple of years rather than three decades and have no debt. What's the actual future of tiny homes and people actually living in them? I'm kind of disappointed in the current trend, which only further alienates people from actually owning their own home. Because it's all short-term rental / Airbnb. What's the mission of this channel?
I must say I agree with this comment to a certain extent. These types of holiday homes are nothing new and aren't about "exploring alternatives" for actual living.
Wonder if it is possible to do a euro shower instead of the dedicated 'shower only' space... Would have the closet at the end so it could store more instead of being such a tiny space.
Very nice home. There's only two things I'd change about it. First put in a smaller width shower and add a place for a small washer dryer combo. Second in the bedroom, I'd turn the bed around ninety degrees. Like in the loft bedroom. Then put a sliding glass doors in. Make the bedroom feel more like a master sweet. With its own private deck area.
I think I like most of it...must be a giant to use the microwave...👍. And I agree with a few others ...maybe could more sort of standing space in the loft .but great style design colour...All in all a good tiny home .
The microwave and cupboards are far too high. Who wants to walk thru a possibly in use bathroom to get to the bedroom or out of it? Why is the extension to the countertop set lower than the countertop? This makes for a two level eating top! It is useless selling these homes without the steps down to the ground from the living area at the back. Who wants to open the door and fall out a couple of feet? Not a well thought out design.
I always comment honestly and there's a lot of tiny homes that I don't care for and I comment that. I love this one. It has everything that you need. It reminds me of a small apartment. There's so many things that tiny houses lack in the form of comfortable seating or a functioning kitchen for people who actually cook and easy access to a bedroom for people who don't want to have to fall down stairs in the middle of the night. This tiny house addresses so many of those issues that I've had with other homes and it has a great bathroom as well. Great job on the design. Now I wonder who's going to get triggered by this comment because it doesn't match yours? 😂
@@jamesengland7461 I don't have just one favorite. I like the double sliding doors and the downstairs bedroom and the big shower and the washer dryer combo under the sink. The only thing I'm not a big fan of is those stairs only cuz I could see myself tripping but I know it's a good way to make stairs that don't use up that much room. It would take some getting used to for sure. I always look for a big kitchen and this one is a decent size.
Pro: I like how this tiny house has been decorated. It is small but seems spacious. The two-tone exterior does blend with the park and overall ambiance of its surroundings. It even has a dishwasher, a full size fridge, and two beds. Con: I'm curious why there's a rug in the bathroom. Wouldn't that get wet a lot after you step out of the shower? Although I've seen these type of design before. I don't think it's practical. There is a comment here regarding the right-handed (or footed) stairs. I haven't been to a house with such design but I am left-handed so I don't know if it's going to be a problem. Regardless, there's a main floor bedroom so I'll probably be in that. I feel like this house is designed for rented short-term stay. For a long-term dwelling, you would need lots of storage and in order for this design to look spacious, it had to compromise on those storage. Yes, there are storage but only enough for an airbnb-type of residence.
@@bleh329 I guess you can say it wouldn't be my style. I actually like it by-design but if I were to do it, I wouldn't put it there so for me it's not practical to have that there, and with that type of rug. I guess for others, it's a positive thing having a rug there.
These tiny homes are gorgeous & each one can crafted to be so unique! Its what i love about them plus i can see myself living fulltime in one. Not really interested in a short stay prefer a cruise etc. Really would like them to provide site listing for tiny home to be placed. It would suck to buy one of these beautiful homes & can not find a place to pur it. I see alot of them being rented out air bb which is nice too but full time living is what most would be aiming for or summer rental if their scared now to travel out country. So many alerts about traveling...
Very lovely place specially for me because the bed on the main floor is a main issue. Just wandering what type of vehicle is needed for transportation from one way to another? I nice way to try with renting that is for sure. Thanks for this video❤️
It really is. I finally had to turn my sound completely down and just look at the inside of the house. I would strongly encourage you to have some kind of handrail going up those steps too.
It would feel like you're out in nature if there wasn't a neighbor right there so close to you. If I rented this I'd be extremely annoyed that they're aren't blinds on all the huge windows in the main living space! You might want to actually stay in it a few days yourself.
I love everything about this place except the loft. I would not want to crawl to go to bed everytime. I wish the ceiling can be lifted higher like a convertible. Of course would cost more $$$$. Just my opinion.
What I saw was very beautiful! Unfortunately I stopped watching when you got to the kitchen. The microwave is very high up.. I'm getting shorter with age. Also I like the idea of a a convection or traditional oven better. God bless!
The best thing -I would say as a resident of Southeast Asia- is that these tiny houses have NO curtain, NO door grill and NO window grill, which adds to its aesthetics. That’s the beauty of living in countries with relatively low crime rates. Right?
Cost of a "normal house". Really. The average cost of "normal" homes here is around $1.5 million. What's this one going for and where did u find that info, internet genius?
@@bleh329 1.5mil?are u celebrity?i guess not lol..where im living houses 🏘️ normal can buy 150.000-300.000..this tiny house cost almost 150.000...so yes exists..
Stupid to have to walk through the bathroom to get to the bedroom!!‼️ What if you want to get into or out of the bedroom and someone is using the bathroom!! 🤪
I like this model. there's just a few little things like raising the extention of the kit countier to be the same level. and just one comment. If you could put a person that does not sing their comments would be very nice.

Yeah that would be a great room for the grandkids or storage

Where does the roof drain?

Seems semi pitched to me. Not sure tho.

Every sentence she says ends in a question mark
Makes it seem like you aren't sure about what you're telling people.
I was searching for this comment. I felt the same way. Hurt my ears a lot. 😬
It’s called “up-speak” and is quite irritating. Aside from that, the house is beautiful and she gave a great tour.
@@tealdreams "Upward inflection" I had to shut it off, her speaking was driving me crazy!
@@cujo3166 Oh my gosh, I don’t blame you!
Dunno about having the bathroom in between the kitchen and the bedroom, especially with the toilet in full view like that.
Deal breaker for me. Toilet AWAY from kitchen!
It's beautiful, but I'd feel a bit too exposed with the big windows. I'd personally option for smaller windows
Are there window coverings on the large windows that I missed? It would seem pertinent for any kind of privacy whilst in a tiny home community.
I thought the same thing - like living in a fish bowl. Zero privacy downstairs.
My observation, also.
Curtains and rods are an easy accomodation.
Would be very creepy at night. Anyone could see in, but you can't see out...
Well thought out , very spacious and open love it brings the outside inside. Beautiful 😊❤
Yay ground floor bedroom! I would not be able to use those stairs with my prosthetic leg. It's a cute design, as far as a permanent home, there's a few things I would change.

Love windows. Downstairs bedroom. I agree that stairs need a railing. Really beautiful home. Thank you.
No window blinds?
With all those windows I'd feel like I was in an aquarium.
'no compromises were made on size'

Need a holding rail on those stairs.
I'm such a klutz I'd have to change those stairs. Full length storage drawers would be good.
Feels like its an accident waiting to happen.
I like the downstairs bedroom.I'm one of those people who don't climb too well nor do I like crawling around on the floor.
Like that this tiny house has a bedroom on the main floor. Also like the design and decor. Thanks Matt and Danielle 👍👍❤
Love everything but the couch and the stairs.
Nice to have a main floor bedroom.
I always ask the same question, where’s the TV????

Such a beautiful home!! I really love how the living room feels so open!! Gorgeous!!!!❤
I love main floor bedroom tiny homes. If I ever live in one, that’s how I’m doing it.
Same here!
Me too, unless there's standing room in the loft. At only 5'3", that's pretty easy for me ;o)

Is the giveaway only to Canadian residents?
While beautiful, I suspect that all those windows make it challenging to keep the temperatures comfortable.
The futon and the ridiculous stairs are missed opportunities for useful storage. Also, drawers in the pantry would be better than shelves.
