[@rowleydell7898]

The dropped floor in the sleeping loft is brilliant. Great design and layout.

[@mytrueserenity5666]

Agree! This is the detail that made this design livable for me. A shorter ceiling and extra windows is a great compromise to get more height to stand up and get dressed. LOL

[@paveladamek3502]

I am 5ft8, I could drop it even more. :)) But then again, the current measurements would suffice either way.

[@nahminesclarence8256]

Just added that to the design. Boom

[@davidchandler6885]

they are short, is the only reason is work. I have something similar in a couple other tiny homes on youtube

[@magsbayou]

@@davidchandler6885 Yeah I saw a design that Bryce could stand up in and I loved it! But I think it is a brilliant idea for them. Actually I saw a design where the loft was above the bathroom and the entry part was not only dropped but had a closet at the end. This also allowed for a large bathroom.

[@chelseyjoymusic]

I really like that you can stand up before getting into the bed. That was one of the things I never liked about tiny homes. They did a great job.

[@wiloka28]

I'm short and that has always bothered me too. Their solution is great.

[@rawlawgirl]

The house is lovely and the couple is even more lovely. They have very synchronized energy.

[@zanahorialove9026]

yip, also the way they look at each is other is full of love.

[@James0235]

What? Have you been drinking alcohol?

[@Paddyslippers]

Oli and Holly.. it doesn't get more synchronized than that :)

[@mikelzubieta3923]

What makes you think they've been drinking alcohol?? And what is the problem with tea and coffee?? By the way, your channel is creepy....

[@Carriesue1982]

cindybin2001 Two adults drinking alcohol is somehow wrong but you a grown ass women pushing fake babies in a stroller and playing with dolls is A okay... riiiiiiiight.

[@OntarioLakeside]

that loft idea is very smart. Im sure we will see that feature in lots of tiny homes in the future.

[@horatiovaldes6851]

I've seen it in plenty of models. There is a company in Little Rock that uses that idea a lot. I'm honestly surprised it isn't the standard.

[@miriamsokora4554]

What is this company you are talking about called? Website link?

[@nidiamoreno3802]

nereamiauwPlanosdecasas

[@Triangulove]

I think they need to have railings to prevent rolling off and onto the ground. Even if it's a rare occurrence. Psychologically it would be very helpful.

[@maurosanchez1987ify]

it's kinda already a staple and common

[@tigergreg8]

If I lived in the area this couple lives. I would most def buy that Tiny House, I would also hope that it could stay where it's located. I have to mention this, but that guy has the coolest smile I've seen in a long time. He looks like someone who's happy most of the time.

[@jae828]

Agree re his genuine and infectious smile.

[@ryang58]

he's just outright hot tbh

[@smilebuds1608]

If I lived in an area at least near him, I would definitely buy that home if I could. And I agree with you, tigergreg8, his smile definitely lights up the whole room. And I love Holly's laughter, too.

[@miwi9883]

have they Sold it? how did the Story end?

[@goodmoodYT]

This is the most beautiful tiny house I've ever seen! I love the big space and the design. But what I loved most is this beautiful couple. Oli and Holly, I don't know you, but from this video you look like the happiest and most in love couple I've ever met :)

[@TessaLeigh]

Love what she said..."you build a tiny house not for resale value or somebody else, but for you! the people who are going to live in it." Brilliant! Every, single thing I remodel or add in my sticks and bricks foundation house is heavily considered with permits and resale value, regulations, red tape, etc. etc. Yech! I would sooooo prefer to just build for ME. Wow, what a concept! haha I'm going tiny...

[@biggest23]

Yep, that's spot on. When I was working in the UK, the TV was bloated with a number of tedious series on redoing houses and it was just an endless parade of experts promoting generic design to assist in resale. Absolutely nothing of the owners character was revealed and they lived like visitors in their own dwellings. Slaves to the market.

[@ThePryncess9]

And then they sold it

[@tixximmi1]

I totally wouldn't leave out the resale value. But on any design, you need to like it too. I'm 67. I wouldn't mind a tiny house but I don't think I could handle the rock climbing apparatus.

[@PinayBeautyandStyle]

Love the design and layout, looks like this was made for me haha!

[@bobbim1410]

Finally a loft bedspace that I actually think I could enjoy! Both the proper staircase and space from bed to ceiling is so much better than most. I'm hoping to retire in the next few years so I'm scouring the internet for tiny home ideas. Super house and love the REAL kitchen! Well done.

[@northofyou33]

Yeah. Same here -- retiring soon and looking for something I could live with.

[@lindafagan852]

love that they made space for a real kitchen table!

[@giteshchandmaurya9052]

Please upload a video of your TINY house if you've finally made it.

[@AndysOutdoorAdventures]

Hey Oli & Holly, Great work, meticulously planned , Max utilisation of space, fantastic climbing wall, patio , spacious kithcen , awesome bedroom with lots of headspace. One of the best Tiny House built I have seen so far, Truly Inspiring.

[@timmoore5329]

This is the first Tiny House that I actually thought was livable for two people. Great job guys.

[@liamarkinarcilla5098]

i know this is off topic but i just love how her husband stares at her😍😍😍😍

[@Strider1048]

Liam Arkin Arcilla They both share the same visual connection. They are a synergistic couple who work well with each other. I find it to be a good sign of if a couple is highly compatible or not.

[@caledoniabeautifuleden8584]

I thought the same thing, you can tell how much they love each other! I also suspect that she might be pregnant in the video but I could be wrong! I thought that because my husband looked at me all the time like that when I was pregnant. He still does, but it was like I was amazing and he was in awe of me when I was growing his babies!

[@trinidior]

And her at him !!

[@annawong3112]

I love America, still a nice country with lots of beautiful people. God bless and keep America and remember to pray for The POTUS TRUMP. SHALOM And Godspeed to one and all regardless......

[@annawong3112]

@Here Here,O I see. But America is still a beautiful country to live and visit. So is new Zealand

[@rolom3]

In the future when I'm a proper adult with a job and I've saved enough money I'm going to build one of these and live in it long term! Why spend a fortune on a big house?

[@righttoexplain]

How's that going?

[@Romanka840]

Exactly! This is what I think, too! Life is too short to save lots of money for a huge house and only work for it. I’d rather have small house and travel (or something). ❤️

[@clovermark39]

Exactly. We don’t need big houses and it’s a lot more eco friendly with the solar and stuff.

[@OMGAnotherday]

Love your enthusiasm! You will do well. 👍🏼🌅👍🏼🌅👍🏼🌅

[@etheenaburmeister277]

I don't know if you're in school still but by the way you wrote your comment it leads me to believe so. Learn everything you can about tools, carpentry, and welding. I promise you, you won't regret it! Even if your life goes in a different direction these are skills that everyone should know! I wish I would have been smart enough to do that myself!

[@TheAmorianir]

Who the hell thumbs down a video like this?

[@shelleynobleart]

Bryce!! This is, without a doubt, the absolute best episode of Living Big to date! Not only is this the most phenomenal Tiny House design and execution and couple for that matter, but your hosting and interview style is so natural and authentically charming. Making these shows has given you the best experiential education and polish. I cannot wait to show my husband this particular episode so can understand and get excited by what living in a Tiny Home could be. And This couple was initially inspired to it by your show as well! Unreal.

[@xxalmond1joyxx]

I think it's really great when you're with the one you love, you could be in a huge house but really you just want to be next to each other.

[@ej_l2525]

one of the best small houses ive seen so far. the vibe is so homey and lightly. good job in planning and construction,I would totally live here

[@Becca_Lynn]

This might be my all time favorite tiny house! great design!!

[@donnalibby6246]

I've been researching tiny houses for over a year now. This is by far the best one I've seen. I like the idea of 10 feet wide. Just gives it that extra space to not have it feel quite so tiny or cramped. Love the look of the climbing wall but I'm afraid I would never make it up there using that. Lol

[@rwind656]

If it's only a storage loft, I think a fold-out stair in the same wall as the climbing wall. But for something used daily, a stair built into that bookshelf and wall...

[@noodlesnchill]

I love the way they look at each other, how cute!

[@istp1967]

This one my favourite designs; that extra half-metre makes all the difference 😀👍👍👍

[@MalinaCC]

The climbing wall is very clever! I'd love something like that. Beautiful and functional tiny house!

[@citsemabutfodlamini7468]

Of all the tiny houses I've seen this is the most practical for me. Clean, slick and elegant are just a couple of words I'd use to describe it. Fantastic home...

[@coolcatcarolena4951]

Such a lovely couple. What a spacious tiny house. The sleeping loft that you can stand in is brilliant. I'm going to borrow a few ideas from this build.

[@lisahileman6727]

One of my favorite homes. Lots of light, spacious feel, modern but cosy decor. The kitchen is beautiful. It would be a pleasure to cook in it! I love the main loft- very clever design. Sometimes I feel all the pull outs and puzzle pieces to make a tiny home work are cumbersome. It’s nice to not have to pull out the bed or push it in to eat dinner... I guess for one person it would be ok. Great home!

[@pmac5621]

This is by far the best tiny house design I've seen in a long time!

[@LulasticHippyshake]

Definitely one of the most important things for tiny living (we live in a yurt in NZ!) is maximising every little corner - you guys have done this SO WELL! Really impressed! Thanks for the inspo x

[@justdoi8909]

How can you make most of every corner in a yurt? they don't have corners do they? ;

[@willowithywindle]

Kiwis always have been a creative lot. Well done!

[@AeridisArt]

I love the features in this house. The dropping the loft was a brilliant idea! I'll definitely adopt some of the ideas from this house in my own build!

[@melissaannrivera4102]

WOW! Gorgeous and spacious floor plan! This is probably the best tiny home I have seen so far.

[@anuragsingh-ed4gk]

I have been following this channel for almost a month... have come across many beautiful homes... but this one is really stands out. Ollie and Holly have done a great job and I wish them luck for their next step forward.

[@Shadow2084]

$33K for a tiny house would be a lot but for this home it seems like such a bargain really. It's beautiful and very well designed. Awesome video Bryce - thanks again! I hope you've been doing well. ;))

[@natashafigueroa9198]

A great home! And once again, Bryce, your enthusiasm is delightful

[@EDTHEWATERGUY]

I think they will regret selling this tiny house and getting a loan for a bigger house. A small paid off property beats a bigger house with a mortgage every time.

[@donnaparrone3656]

She addresses that in the video, said everything was double glazed and that it is cozy and warm in the winter.

[@Blackadder75]

most couples want 2 children, maybe they want even more. (the average is below 2, but that is because some have none)

[@BethanyBell]

Sure its possible for them to raise kids in there , but if i had the privilege not too then i wouldn't want to

[@Robert-dt3is]

I was wondering why not build a second tiny home and park it next to this one. Rent out the first one on say airbnb to make some side income to pay for the 2nd home. Then stop renting it out once you start to have kids and they can "live" in the first original tiny home.

[@ThatOneWeirdGal]

Well it's too small for kids, so yeah that's why they're selling it. But I think they should have AirBnB'ed it

[@redhotbbqfries4L]

The ideas and thought into this house are really clever and this is one of the best houses. The idea of a bedroom that you can stand up in is genius and something I'd want - especially me being 6'3 (id have to bend down but still cool.) Couch, table area, hidden washer, lounge loft, is like everything I'd want in a tiny house.

[@SparkyBites]

This is just amazing, the amount of pre-thinking that when into this is just brilliant! I can't wait to start on our own tiny home soon!

[@hannazina7374]

do you have your own tiny house now?:)

[@SparkyBites]

@@hannazina7374 We actually changed our minds and bough a bus instead, now we are finally in the process of kitting it out after just having the floor flattened and engine checked over ^^

[@sierraroseprzybyla3333]

What an *inspirational* home! Thank you to all for sharing! *also, thank you for your accurate and well done sub-titles! I can't tell you what your attention to that means! (The ones that You Tube generates are the worst!)

[@vanilittlestar6357]

Beautiful tiny house. Beautiful couple. Wishing them the very best in their endeavors. Precious!!

[@InSimonated]

Probably the nicest Tiny House I've ever seen. The extra width and minimalism is everything!

[@lt9316]

!oved the bathroom, laundry closet, roomy bedroom. I couldn't sleep in the Cubbys w little escape windows in most tiny houses. Love the seating around the deck, the TV nook was cute.

[@sc1212able]

Nice build, cute couple, Why don't they just add a foundation and build on to what they have?

[@sunshinelady7933]

I absolutely agree !

[@emilyteague9936]

I love this channel because it's about the people, and not about selling a house, like tiny house listings for example, and I love this house as well! Definitely one of my favourites, would buy it in a heartbeat! When I go to study at uni I want to convert a high roofed large van to do something similar, (but obviously way smaller!) and I can't wait!

[@VanvouverWeightLoss]

♡ the fairy lights ♡ the tv loft ♡ the climbing wall Oli and Holly, GREAT job on your creativity, and mostly for the togetherness on the pragmatic building of your home. ♡

[@samanthalindsy]

Love it! They did an incredible job!

[@beverlystewart8115]

Pl, t

[@JJoy-bk8yr]

This layout is so smart and the price was amazingly affordable for the value.

[@jacksontaylor5476]

Oli and holly. Cooking together. The thought alone is adorable

[@tonyarenee531]

Love The Minimalism With This Tiny Home... & A Modern Feel Also.... And How Airy & Bright It Is..... & Clean! ♥♥♥

[@robertfinnegan1323]

This is, by far, my favorite tiny house design! I've been playing around with design ideas on google sketchup but I'm not sure how to frame that drop section. Amazing home though guys!

[@anastasiarenaud2568]

This is a beautiful and well planned tiny house. It would be perfect with easier access to the second loft. Bravo!

[@shendaraalshedir1933]

What a cute couple!! With a GORGEOUS chocolate dog!❤️🐕❤️ The faerie light chandelier is so cute. The place looks tiny outside but is huge inside, and so beautifully done you feel like you are in a full-size house. Being 5', arthritic & almost 63, there is no way l can do ladders or climbing walls, but omg how gorgeous & well laid out is this place with 2 lofts & full bath?!! And that outdoor deck is absolutely beautiful. I wish them a happy life with their future family additions!👍🏻😄🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦

[@nickwilliams1953]

Best tiny house I have seen on the this channel. Great loft design with sensible stairs. Great kitchen space, really well thought out design. Nice clean lines inside. Also love the fact there's no moving, transforming furniture, that would drive me mad too.

[@RadioChief52]

I am seeing so many clever ideas in tiny houses. This is another great one.

[@numbereight886]

One thing to note also, a big box style is the easiest to build, the external cladding is board and batton which is plywood sheeting with wood trim over the edges (usually) which is generally the cheapest effective cladding you can get.

[@chelep2863]

I love this one! you can stand up in the bedroom, the bed is in the center of the room with enough room on each side. love the kitchen.

[@watch1video2day]

Awesome tiny home. Love this couple's attitude, they should design more tiny homes.

[@user-vc5rp7nf8f]

Those climbing rocks are fucking GENIUS

[@fromscratchauntybindy9743]

Great to see you again Bryce ☺ Lovely TH - I could easily see myself in this one, find it hard to understand why they wouldn't consider raising a young child in it tho - where there's a will... but that's just my P.O.V

[@yxlau4845]

this house is such a dream! surrounded by great nature and such perfect layout and design, with the beautiful furniture and kitchen and everything....wow i would literally spend my happiest days in the house and it's surroundings

[@lightconstruct]

Looks like im a bit late with this... but still. I saw a billion tiny house videos and none of them had such an ingenuity. The sleeping loft vs. kitchen height play. Amazing! So smart, you literally made my day.

[@Carapacious]

My absolute favourite tiny house I have EVER seen...and I've seen a few!! Wow, wish I could find more info on it, layout, plans, etc...

[@LJLancaster]

Love It!! I would have to go something similar. The Aussie and Kiwi needs that open space and connection to the outdoors.

[@breezinoz]

Best I've ever seen. I love the outdoor deck and seating, so open and refreshing. The whole space is practical, trendy, homely, and just plain cool. And you're Kiwi's... even better. Love your work guys :)

[@TheArtemis07]

This is the only tiny house I have ever seen in which the bathroom is not directly off the kitchen. Bravo!

[@MissKriekentaart]

One of my favourite designs so far! :)

[@Kelseyguurl]

love the sleeping loft lower floor. genius

[@pandjnixon]

What a difference an extra 600mm of width makes for ease of layout ! Brett Sutherland is another one who could use an extra 600mm of width in his MV tiny house, to fit that "big fat cushy couch, to slob out in" that he regrets not having ! - Great design, Oli and Holly ! - More good videography, Bryce ! Thanks for this latest effort.

[@ElementL116]

Very nice. One of the best I've seen. Very inviting and open feeling. I'd cram my family in here and enjoy it!

[@ChazEvansdale]

Great design features. Good work Oli and Holly. :) More and more I'm considering building a wider tiny house on wheels (or skids) to create a more useful living space. It'll save me from buying/owning an big expensive gas guzzling truck, which will save a ton of money even if I move a few times, plus paying for movers adds the benefit of transportation insurance.

[@kirstenrubberducky]

What an awesome space. If I were to live in a Tiny House, that open plan vibe with all of the windows and large doors would definitely be my dream. It blurs the boundary between outdoors and indoors. I love that :)

[@SEMPERFL0RENS]

WOW! That extra few feet in width makes a huge difference! LOVE!

[@Imnjn52]

What a smart design.. I love everything about this tiny house!

[@skatooli3971]

I am still giggling over them laughing at you for being too tall! Another great video.

[@Ohsage1111]

So great!!! What a clever design! Don't sell or move, just build another building!!!

[@Flojos77190]

I'm so happy to see other people have the same ideas I had: dropping down the loft floor beside the bed is the best way not to have to crawle into your bed! And these fifty centimeters added in the width really change the whole aspect of the tiny house. Great job! I think it will be easy to sell this one.

[@amberheron5109]

My favourite tiny house yet! And I've seen a lot of tiny houses! Congrats on a beautiful home x

[@shazzabelle123]

Lovely house - lovely couple. Good luck to them!

[@amy051985]

Thanks bryce for your videos.I actuallg watch them whenever I need to be reminded that, despite all the bad things that happen in our world due to the obsession for money, there are still nice people around who actually do things more responsibly and with non- material values in mind

[@MellyHhhhh]

best tiny house I've seen on KZbin!

[@seanpaints]

Damn I love the tv loft

[@KimberlyNobleWinslow]

Love this! These two really put a lot of thought and penalization into this. The "Kiwi Touch" needs to come to the States.

[@Lolik2023]

I wouldn't say it is a tiny house. It is a small, cozy house. Very nice. I like it.

[@northernprairiehomestead6510]

Fantastic tiny house! I L💚VE it!!!

[@Cristien84]

Of all the video's i ve seen of you Bryce this one is my favorit so far

[@gabygaby8861]

I wish them luck, too!!! Specially having a family, tiny houses give you great advantages to rise a family on a much better way!

[@irshikha]

This was the video wherein I kept observing and feeling the chemistry between the two (partners). 😍 They are just so loving, yet have calming effect. 😄 May they flourish! 🌸

[@kiwicomposer]

Has anyone tried putting RV style "slide outs" on a tiny house like american RV's have? It would give more space in living etc areas yet allow the slide to come in for transporting?

[@eyesdark08]

[@zheguangzou4218]

Really love this tiny house. The climbing wall idea is brilliant!!!

[@iamBuffSteak]

He'd be a great ventriloquist.

[@silvertora5793]

A great build and very open and uncluttered - sorry to see them sell but I'm sure the new owners will appreciate all the hard work that went into it - good luck on their next adventure of building a family - which is much harder than building that lovely home and one you can't walk away from as it is for life - thanks for sharing

[@fin9672]

Best Tiny house I have seen here yet. Really agreed with a lot of there decisions. The folding furniture does make a home feel like a holiday home/caravan/boat to me also. Very livable and the outside seating space really makes the whole thing seem much bigger. Shame I am from the U.K where red tape stops us from having the freedom to experiment with alternate ways of living that are less costly. (think thats why I see so many Brits on this show living in NZ haha)

[@user-dv1fh9vv3y]

He'd be an excellent ventriloquist

[@Oilossn90]

wonderful home =)

[@limelyx]

Loved this one. Proper kitchen too, which is nice!

[@paveladamek3502]

All of these Living Big... couples are so, well, beautiful.

[@michaelcsutton]

That's a tiny house I could live in

[@lemurianchick]

Definitely a superior design. Seems very spacious and yet the loft is nice and private. The only concern is that smaller window in the main loft. Why not have it big enough to leave in case of fire? That should be a requirement.

[@bobbbob2716]

Explain how the fire is going to start?

[@lemurianchick]

Bobb Bob They have a two-burner stove in the kitchen. She was holding up a candle. How do any fires start? Just because they are off the grid doesn't mean fires cannot start. Doesn't it just make sense for whatever reason to have another exit? It seems to be a no-brainer to me. I really don't understand why tiny houses have so many windows in the first place but at least have a big one in each loft (like a skylight) to provide an alternative escape route in case of whatever!

[@shelleynobleart]

Agree with you one thousand percent on this point. It would be a nonnegotiable feature in every design where safety is considered.

[@lemurianchick]

NobleDesignMedia I don't like to be fear-based or paranoid, but just as a way to feel safe, I would do it and I like the skylight idea because you can even go out and sit on the roof sometimes!

[@bobbbob2716]

lemurian chick Oh right...a two gas burner..Which is only used when you're standing next to it....That's a fire hazard. and a candle. i have candles too. A simple smoke detector would cover all those needs. Which in most houses you are required to have or you won't get insurance coverage.
