Abandoned hayloft now small cube home on Costa Brava estate

[@pinchhitter1254]

This, in my opinion, is one of the most stylish houses featured in this series. It looks so cozy and calming. Beautiful, is the contrast between ancient and modern, rough and polished. It's like someone went back in time and carved out some space inside a medieval castle and inserted a modernist dwelling! That stone is so gorgeous I want to have it for dessert!

[@marisamoeller1718]

How wonderful to have saved and share this family's history in this exquisite building. Such a wonderful way to have one's own space and yet share with others. Simply beautiful!

[@rachelremy1]

I love how there are 4-5 families living in homes within a home. That's awesome

[@annonimus2247]

Right?? My family makes me feel like I need to move out and get my 'own' LOL

[@MR-xf8xg]

Why do modern western/American people find the way most of the people in the world live so awesome in a video about a hayloft conversion, but if they see it in real life without all the modern architecture or whatever, then it's primitive and these people only do this bec they are poor and need to be assimilated and taught how to live in a decaying city all alone?

[@MR-xf8xg]

@@annonimus2247 context is everything. In communal living situations everyone contributes to the well being of everyone else. How do you spend your weekends? Home repair projects? Painting? Gardening? Cleaning the attic or basement? Do you pay any of the household bills or just suck up resources and spend your money on yourself? If you don't do the things I'm asking about, it's no wonder your parents want you out. If you don't now and then start doing whatever your household needs doing, how would your parents respond? Would they see you more as an asset to the building of equity in the home? Just saying.

[@carlagarciaballesteros5291]

@@MR-xf8xg I’m from Spain, and just to let you know that it’s pretty common in the countryside to live with all your family, grandparents, grandchilds...all together, and not because they are poor. Specially in such big “masia”. Family is very important for us.

[@classifiedinformation6353]

Another glimpse into the life of people that respect old spaces and the talent to make them usable again. With a little vision, we can save our historic built environment. Even the common vernacular can be beautiful. And thanks, Kristen, for your work to bring the work of these people to all of us.

I would love to live in something like this. Simple yet perfect for everything that I would ever need!!

[@cloxwork]

This is honestly the first tiny home I've seen that I would actually live in with minimal changes to it. The only thing I would do, would be to put a portable closet/dresser in the bedroom. I love that it still has an actual bathroom with plumbing (no composting toilet) and it looks so big and spacious even if it isn't. it's pretty.

[@WiseBeast]

cloxwork couldn't agree more

[@girlinagale]

Catalunia! I stayed 6 months in Palamos, discovering the nature and towns around. The Catalunian aesthetic is a lovely high level fusion of modernity and tradition.

[@albs5670]

I'm from Palamos!! I'm glad you liked it :)

[@williamduffy4585]

No clutter. Love the contrast between old & new. The simplicity of design that they accomplished is a visual treat for the eyes.

[@slobomotion]

We can always rethink & improve, & it's so refreshing! Besides just a good cleaning & "getting rid of," replacements, repairs, it gives new life to a space & I think it's healthy & relaxing, even if jarring to the nerves while taking place. Good for you!

[@alexxxandder]

so beautiful. its so perfect it could be a film set.

[@bethaniejify]

I love this converted hay loft. I like this idea of the center box for everything and open space all around. I've seen it in several of these videos, but this is, I think, the best use of it. The "rooms" they've created are really versatile. Id live there.

[@alindasue]

This is one of my favorites of the homes you have featured. I like both the concept of the multi-generational use of the property where everyone is "together but not mixed up", but also the way this couple used the hay building to create a very usable, practical home with actual stairs rather than ladders and a design that keeps in mind that they may need to create bedrooms for children as they get older.

[@lenah7093]

I like how it is so spacious and has the tradional character..

[@jmatt4life]

Rich history and tradition continued in modern day minimalism and practicality. I would welcome and thoroughly enjoy such a living space in the countryside. The views are wonderful!!!

[@debbieboring3422]

This is wonderful, so many time you hear of family homes that have had more than one generation live in a home that is lost. By neglect or can't be kept up. But with each generation of this family having a part that is theirs it keeps it alive. This is very cool.

[@RyeRob.]

I've been watching you videos for a year or so now and they always make me feel at ease, like everything is more simple than i perceive on a day to day basis. They are great. I really enjoyed the longer documentary style video you did a while ago too.

[@jaimefabianalfaro]

Juntos, pero no revueltos, buena frase¡¡¡¡

[@HS3006]

This is a gorgeous space full of thoughtful planning and minimalist design.

[@gphillimo]

I wanna see what all the other families within this broader family did with their spaces in this giant estate

[@gayatriverkhedkar5253]

So lovingly restored. Absolutely loved it.

[@foshoukno]

i am obsessed with these tiny home videos

[@kellymurphy2917]

What an incredible use of space, and I absolutely LOVE it! Thanks Kirsten!

[@olyvoyl9382]

This series of videos showing how people reuse,both modernizevand maintain the eentegrity of these old building is fabulous. Reading the comments makes me wonder why so many people find fault with them. Kudos to all those very wise people who had completed successful revovations.

[@unicornXfart]

Wow, this is just amazing. It's stylish yet functional, It has a modern feel to it blended in with the 17th century stone, designed to make itself appear bigger than it really is. Brilliant.

[@WhiteTiger333]

Exquisite! Human creativity knows no bounds, does it?! And you have an amazing talent for tracking down these people and making such beautiful videos to share - thank you!

[@greatboniwanker]

[@kimchisholm700]

Beautiful building , love the original stone work.

[@jesscmovie]

I love that they share the view of living & not overextending yourself to large & generic housing.

[@bruinjogger]

That's awesome how they've blended new and old and how they kept the extended family together.

[@puma1304]

"la profundidad visual", si muy acertado para este tipo de volumenes pequeños, lindo proyecto!

[@kirafan68]

This is so nice! I wish I had enough money to get them to plan my dream house for me. The one I own now is much too big! Costs a fortune to heat in the winter, and it takes hours and hours to clean it!

[@ZILOGz80VIDEOS]

these videos inspired me to take a weekend and completely change the layout of my living space. I opened everything up and it works so much better now. The documentary you did "We Are The Tiny House People", was especially helpful. Before I watched it I put furniture against walls and didn't understand lines of sight in architecture. If you guys want some free visual design done in the way of tabs and navigation for your website don't hesitate to ask, it wouldn't change the layout or the theme.

[@friedhippie]

Thank you Kirsten for all these wonderful videos you make.

[@Canuk1945]

Love the modern streamline look in contrast with the old stone. Beautiful job!

[@brandonburrell8517]

Awesome estate. Beautiful space. She's gorgeous. I like his sweater.

[@ND-iw1nr]

What I really like about this is that if someone else, another family member or future child, moved it, they could very easily change a few details to make it their own. Even adding a bedroom (or two small ones) would be incredibly easy. Good design, and very beautiful.

[@rasha4625]

so much character in the house

[@slobomotion]

I was curious about the Costa Brava but I like this channel anyway. I am a happy subscriber and tend to comment & share these, whichever I watch. Great work. I don't edit or work very hard on my online clips -- terribly lazy -- but I used to work in film so really appreciate the effort put into & quality of your output. Uprated, and thank you!

[@aussiejubes]

This is one of my favourite homes you have shown, I get impatient to have my own little space whenever you upload a new video!

[@imbly]

I like the walls and the roof... so much unused space

[@ALayne08]

I think the simplicity of the place is exactly what they were looking for and they hit it dead on. They had a great eye to see the possibilities with the oval double door and the stonework from the original structure and pulled it altogether. The only thing I would've added is a stair railing with nooks for shoe or other storage. Otherwise a great concept with more potential. Thanks for posting these videos so we can get ideas from them. Ann

[@dbln8188]

what a beautiful idea, together but not mixed up. awesome

[@gabsl1552]

wow. i would love to sleep there with my family and my bestfriend. This is perfect for our life even just small living. :D this is very beautiful. totally beautiful home!

[@BrittOlinder]

I loved this video. They should make a movie about their family. Just their daily life would be so interesting, and if there was a bit of a story it could be a successful independent film.

[@GManuelPerez]

Igual se pueden utilizar escalones de madera, donde apoya el pié, o recubrir los que ya están con placas de corcho de cierto grosor (que pueden igualmente ir pintadas de rojo) para minimizar o eliminar por completo el ruido que se hace al subir y bajar por la escalera. Es una idea sencilla, barata, que añade comodidad, y contribuye a disfrutar de la tranquilidad del entorno. Saludos.

[@carolynbostic5784]

Neat home. Modern on the inside but goes well with the history of the exterior. I like the idea of a family owned estate where "apartments" are handed down through the years.

[@emilionavarro2575]

They respect the old house and have newer things it's wonderful

[@catonamushroom1019]

I love it, and it suits them very well. I would personally change the "white" to warmer wood. Perhaps they could build a storage, box, Annex on the outside from the same wood, and give it doors shaped with the same "arch" to look in keeping. Create a wood or decorative forged iron bedroom hanging space and stair rail, balcony rail. Love the fire, so cosy in winter! With storage access outside, they have more room for a bedroom behind the kitchen. I could live there happily. Maybe they will start to cook more if babies come!!

[@kristinafonjga]

I can t stop watching this! Beautiful home! It looks on my dream house! Good luck in life! Besos desde Serbia!

[@masterkobi5607]

Great design, very smart.

[@slobomotion]

I have a clip up on one of my channels here of a tiny house with 4 terraced gardens I just rented on the French Riviera from a Swiss couple. It's only for 2 but it's just incredible the quality & thought that was put into its design. It's in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin & if you type that and "Lisa Falour," my name, the clip ought to come up if you want to see it. They did live there full time & only left to rent it cuz the husband has health issues now. My best to you!

[@slobomotion]

I'm in France & have been in "mezzanined," very stripped-down living spaces. I'm mobility challenged & never did like moving vacuum cleaners & stuff around for housework, & I remember one place which was really a bit confining, ultimately. It was, however, in a terrific village in Brittany -- despite the harsh weather there, people just dressed appropriately & got out a lot, even if they lived alone, were elderly, etc. That place I recall, I'd have gone nuts living in it, tho, I must say.

[@kingdomcitizen4788]

I think you can do more with that space, it's not that small but it looks nice well done!

it looks like a lovely place to live kinder wishing i was their

I lived in a house made of cinder block in Florida. At that temperature, it's FREEZING inside, especially if it's damp. That's why they used to cover the walls of castles with tapestries.

Absolutely beautiful.

[@ASANCHEZ97421xyz]

Such a beautiful home

what a beautifully done house for them

[@LelouchVelvet]

Very cool/interesting idea, but I definitely couldn't live so close to my siblings, cousins and so on all the time :D That would drive me crazy!

this is not small but I like the minimalist interior design

[@caroleaster5952]

Gorgeous!

[@FrankenKitteh]

A way bigger window would be better

[@neckband123]

i felt the same. such beautiful scenery, wasted.

[@GabrieleJackson]

Bigger windows means bigger heat loss. Also, I'm sure the stone has historic value, and the idea was to maintain the building to the original. I love that space, I would live there.

[@jorge8a27]

Gabriele Jackson not true, depends on the orientation of the window and the material of the glass
