Derek is a builder who is absolutely obsessed with affordable housing and ADUs (accessory dwelling units). In this video he gives us a full tour of his small full-time home in Oregon, which is a beautiful, minimalist 524 square foot space that he built in 90 days for $60K USD. Derek believes in collaboration instead of competition, and so he shares his blueprints, shopping lists, and loads of tips and resources for free on his website and on KZbin (links below). He also believes that affordable housing doesn't have to be built with cheap materials, so he uses solid wood floors, granite countertops, slate tiles, metal roofing, and more because they'll end up costing less over time than if he used cheap materials and had to replace them more frequently.

This happened in my mom's old neighborhood where they allowed people to build apartments or two houses. The parking was and still is a nightmare. The neighbors got together and went to the City and demanded it be rescinded. The City agreed the parking is out of control, and now you can only convert your garage but you have to provide parking for the residents on the property as well.

Thanks Mat. I like this concept much better than the standard Tiny Home. This design has a lot of room for changes inside. One could easily add a granite top island in the kitchen with seating on the outside. It is probably worth spending the money to have a multi-functional clothing storage unit built into the left side of the closet. No one design is fit for everyone but this layout can easily work for singles, couples, and even seniors. Brilliant!

If you put a slanted roof on it, you could incorporate stairs opposite the kitchen and put the laundry under them, gaining closet space in the lower room. I hate heights and ladders so that space would be unusable for me in its current form.

Love everything about this. His values and generosity in sharing everything. I think a little more storage is needed on the inside for coats and things. There was a space between the kitchen and the bathroom (right side of screen) where this could be accomplished. Also, not a fan of the whole ladder concept up to the loft. That's doable if you're a young person, not so much for the older folks. I'm sure with his ingenuity and skills he could come up with an alternative. But again, really love what he's doing. He's to be commended.

I really love the tiny house movement. That being said... I watched one of the tiny house construction shows in which the builders specialized in building tiny houses on wheels so that the house could be moved to wherever the owners wanted it. However, one of the houses had slideouts, like many RVs. That made me wonder, "Why not just buy an RV?" After all, they maximize space and storage, like a tiny house, and they're energy efficient. And the folks who build their own tiny houses always go considerably over budget, enough that they could have bought a nice RV. Then I see a video like this, with a tiny house built on a permanent foundation. I ask, "Why not get a mobile home (now they're called manufactured homes) and put it on a permanent foundation?" Where I live, there are plenty of MHs set up that way on privately owned pieces of land, not in a MH park. They have all of the modern conveniences, and they're energy efficient. You can even add on solar panels and other nifty gadgets to improve their efficiency. There even used to be a company called Jim Walter Homes who built MHs on permanent foundations on a regular piece of land. I've lived in a MH (14x68) for 34 years. 2 bedrooms (one with a walk-in closet), 2 full baths, spacious living room, good-sized kitchen (with a breakfast nook instead of a dining room), walk-in pantry, laundry room, low utility bills, and a small, easy to care for yard. MHs today are not like they used to be, barely holding together with Scotch tape and prayer. They're sturdy houses built to last. I bought mine from someone who'd owned it for 3 years , and she bought it new. That means that my MH is 37 years old, and it's still going strong (even after going through 2 hurricanes).

@jimgilbert9984, For clarity, there IS difference between a 'mobile home' and 'manufactured home'. A mobile home is not permanently fixed on a foundation, so that it may be moved to another location, hence "mobile"__and is usually only allowed to be in a mobile home 'park'. Whereas, a manufactured home is one that has each component of the building(walls, ceiling, roof, etc.)manufactured separately in a plant, thereafter, delivered to, and constructing them on, a foundation at the home site. And, yes__manufactured homes are much more durable than mobile homes. At the same time, the ADUs this 'guy' is building use the same high-quality construction materials you would use to build a quality-consructed 'regular' home__the other 2 types generally do not. And I, for one, would prefer having 'real' wood floors than the newer alternatives. 😺
@M.Campbell

Many, many, places don't allow MH within the city limits unless you are in a trailer park. If you want to see a hostile town council meeting just bring up that subject. People still have the vision of the older MHs, in their heads, and are very defensive of their property values. My own town doesn't allow them. You can put in a manufactured home, but it has to be assembled on site. i.e. modular homes. That eliminates anything that ever had wheels, no matter how well you disguise it after it's in place.

@@debracisneroshhp2827 The industry has decided that "mobile home" is a dirty name. They are now calling them "manufactured homes" as well. It has really muddied the waters. To me anything that is built on a frame and has had wheels is a mobile home and a manufactured home is how you describe.

THIS is the kind of radical solution focused content I've been missing. For the last 5 years it's been a lot of custom, one-off, often very expensive projects that are from builders who disproportionately cater to folks who have the cash for traditional homes. I want revolutionary housing ideas. No, this isn't viable in my area but in time I think it may be. I love how the resources are made available and how PRACTICAL and lovely the resulting dwelling is. THANK YOU so much for introducing me to this creator.

@@vanessahornsby1811 , If you don't have a large family there's really no 'great' reason for so much sq. footage__speaking from experience, as I used to have a 7bdrm., 3fl. plus full, finished basement with 2nd. kitchen, and 3 1/2 bthrms., plus attic space, on a 151' x 50' lot, with detatched garage. Just so much more to clean and maintain. 😛 Sure, it was nice to have a sewing room, a playroom and separate train room for my 2 sons, an office for my (ex)husband...but "I" was the only one doing the housework, many times, the yard work, too! 💩 I used to like the idea of a large home with a room for each person and for hobbies/pets/storage, however, over the years, discovering and learning more about smaller houses, like cottages/bungalos, I'm pretty sure somewhere between 500 and 800sq. ft. is the perfect size for 1 - 3bdrm. home for 1 - 3 persons__with outdoor spaces for gardening, and other activities as a bonus! 💖🙌😺

I mean, it's not really for people with physical disabilities, who need to use the bathroom while under sleep inertia (seriously, a fucking ladder? I'm surprised that's even legal), who have families. It's a really nice garage taking up space where a house should be, meaning fixing the horrible shortsighted use of space will require tearing it down and putting in a higher density dwelling. May have well as fallen for the horrible shipping container home meme. At least those are easier to pick up and move. This isn't a fix for our housing crisis, it's a symptom.

For the bathroom, I spend probably 20-30 minutes a day at most, between the daily shower and toilet use. For this reason, in my van build the shower pan was in the floor, and hidden when not in use. With a shower curtain that wraps fully around when it's needed. Otherwise, that space shares real-estate as the entry way to the van, with a foldable countertop where the 3-burner cook top goes when I need to cook meals.

Beautiful little house. Reminds me of affordable workforce housing from the 30s and 40s, which used to be little cottages just like this one. For anyone who owns their own detached house with a little-used backyard, building an affordable ADU and selling it off is one of the most impactful things you can do to help someone else, and you might make some money off of your underutilized land in the process. Find out if your municipality supports these options, and if not, push for them to be made legal.

May I make some suggestions? Make the ladder going to The loft a little wider and have it stretch out a little further so the angle isn't quite so steep and then if you put one of those beds that folds flat against the wall in your office it becomes a functioning bedroom also

I love the pay up front for quality. So often, ADUs are either luxuroius or cheaply built. A balance can be met for lower cost of ownership. Headed over to give a follow.

This is a way nicer alternative than infilling with a huge condo complex which is happening in Southern California sadly. Too many people in a small area creates chaos but it's really good for the developers. $$$
