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!

Absolutely impressed with this man and his vision, not to mention how awesome it is that he is sharing the method and not just the result. I’ll surely be heading to his channel for more info. On the design itself, while it’s easy to nitpick any design, it’s much more difficult to design a space that actually works. He proves it does by living in it, which also informs his work. Anything can be modified to address the abilities/limitations of the intended tenant. That makes for a good plan that can be used anywhere that local codes permit.

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
@M.Campbell 4 ай бұрын
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.

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.

This is a really nice house and it seems like a super cheap price, it would be cool if you started building a network across the country of contractors who could build your house and then you get feedback from customers so that way you could filter out the bad ones. It would also be really cool to build some tiny home villages maybe with all the same design so it’s cheaper, but that would be beautiful to live in. You could include some Airbnb vacation rentals as well. If you’ve already done this, I apologize in advance. I’m about to check out your KZbin channel. I like that u can stand up in the loft. Maybe you could host meetings/potluck once a month about tiny house living. It’s so great that you provided the plans and shopping list for free! You seem like a wonderful guy thanks so much ❤

It IS nice to have a high ceiling in small rooms but 9-10 feet would be plenty to give it an open feeling without escalating the monthly electric bill. Use the extra height as an attic for storage. There's never enough storage in a small/tiny house.

@@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 wish he was honest about living there. It’s obviously not the house he lives in. Look at how empty his cupboard is when he makes his tea.its fine he doesn’t live in it. But why lie? I like everything but the ladder to the loft and it would need a few shelves. Otherwise good

This is a great idea. I think this may be the answer to the affordable housing problem. I'm a senior and thinking that this would be ideal for the elderly. Perhaps one of those "stair-lifts" could be added to the loft. Local officials will have to be convinced allow zoning and building codes for this type of structure. Maybe the American dream is not dead after all?

I like it. Gonna have to check it out. At 73 I would have to have a pisser by the bed though. Maybe raise the roof some, and have a second floor with a staircase. Maybe sleep in the bath; OK, with a wall between.

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.

@ThatADUGuy For the loft that is a bedroom/living space instead of just storage, an optional pull-down staircase with hand rails and loft guard rails to prevent drunk and/or still sleepy people from falling to the ground floor would seem prudent.

Pretty impressive! I like the responsible landscaping. The only drawback I can see is that it wouldn't work very well for a family with kids. It could if the upper loft was split into two and stairs were added. Great work!
