Think a slightly longer model, with a stair rail and better protection from falling downstairs would be good. More storage incorporated under the stairs would be nice as well. Love the big windows, expansive feel, and heated floors.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Great feedback! Heated floors make so much sense for tiny homes ☺️✨

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you for your feedback, we'll add more storage underneath the stairs in the next model and in about a month we have finally installed our safety construction that no-one needs to fear falling down from the first floor! really valuable feedback ;)

[@feliciahanczyrk7097]

More floor space with a partial wall for safety and room separation. Make the office a closet. Add stair rails. Increase length to create a flex room on first floor. Great ingenuity Germany 🇩🇪!

[@suepeterson163]

I agree

[@angeladawn805]

I'm enjoying how Tiny Homes are having their designs and concepts designed and evolving. Tinys are here to stay, so as soon as local councils accept this, the sooner we can deal with the housing shortage

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

💯🙌🫶

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Absolutely true!

[@PhilipOsborneUK]

But the costs are rising far too much. £140-160,000 for this tiny house is the same price that people already can’t afford for a regular small house or apartment, so its no longer solving one of the biggest issues tiny homes were originally designed to solve! It’s ecologically more sound, and offers more freedom than a regular home, but neither of those mean very much if it’s only financially affordable to people who can already afford a regular house.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

@@PhilipOsborneUK I get your point, the thing is, housing in Germany has already reached that price in every perspective and as we build the house in German construction standards, of course it costs more than a house been built in Poland or Portugal due to different quality standards and building regulations tiny houses are that costy here in Germany! Still probably 20% of the costs of a regular house! But I can totally get your point, everything is getting so expensive at the moment!

[@AMYV3]

Wish our local governments, well any government would understand that. If it’s been 25 plus years since they have built affordable housing in our city with the only upcoming units are 9 bachelors for people that need extreme help, for Mental illness, drug abuse etc needing nurses for basic daily tasks cooking etc Which of course is a good thing. But the only other thing we hear about is the millions coming for the country within the next ten years to build more affordable housing. No set plans. The joke is our prime minister came to our small city (160,000) outside of Toronto to make this announcement. But yet there aren’t even sites chosen for such homes. Two years is too late. And ten years is cruel !! We have horrible bi laws for Tiny homes. With no village’s anywhere in sight. It’s to the point now I’m hearing more and more especially single people talking about feeling suicide might be their only option. 😞😡🤦🏼‍♀️. Why are we just excepting this. I have housing. Affordable but I won’t feel ok until I know this housing crisis is over. If ever. Whether you have housing or not we need to join the fight before we loose good people who deserve to live !!!

[@carmench3]

I cant imagine anyone living in this but appreciate the tech in the kitchen. It's not a bad idea just needs to be developed much further to make it SAFE.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Hi Carmen, we totally get your point. After all it depends on individual needs and we are about to install safety railing!

[@paulvillapando6449]

It was fantastic and I wanted to let all the readers know that even a little old Grandma can build a shed. Thanks to the author for offering all the directions to build a shed from start to finish.

[@margreetanceaux3906]

To have it transported, like a container, is really brilliant! Let a professional taking it from A to B, on the busy, sometimes narrow roads in Europe.

[@fractionmeister]

PS I think the placement of the oven is killer brilliant!! I have literally watched hundreds of tiny home videos and I have NEVER seen anyone put their oven in the stairs before. I wish I HAD thought of that!!😊😊

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Really is clever spot for it! 😄

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Hey thank you so much, really happy to hear that ;) it is indeed really useful and the space underneath the staircase is used like that

[@susanrochford5459]

I think it's kind of insane to put the oven under the stairs. What if you need to stir a casserole, or check something cooking? There is nowhere to put a spoon and it's awkward to carry a hot pot around the corner to the bench. The backless sofa doesn't look too relaxing to me and the opportunity to fall down the upstairs gap is a real danger. Otherwise the light and the finished quality are really beautiful.

[@brentfrench752]

I agree with another that recommended making a longer unit as well. I also think a collapsable or removable stair rail around the stairs of the second floor would be a great addition, and far safer. I would suggest you use a similar table downstairs as you have upstairs so you can seat four when you have family or friends over for a meal. I like the oven, but that space would be perfect for a television. Perhaps you can move the oven under the stairs, or install a convection microwave which is smaller, but still allows you to bake? It would be nice if it had a larger fridge, but it doesn’t appear you have the space. I really like the fact that the second floor raises which is what sells the unit. It’s a nice little unit that solves a need, but I’m afraid it likely wouldn’t do well here in the US because of the price, but maybe I’m wrong as housing here is terribly expensive, at least where I live. You clearly used top of the line materials which shows. Thanks for sharing

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you Brent! So much great Input, im sure that our next houses will have better features and of course no house is perfect as it must match with the needs of the client!

[@fractionmeister]

Those stairs would frighten me, I need a bannister on which to hold so as not to fall off. Also, you would NOT catch me lying on the floor like he did upstairs. One roll to the left and you'd quickly be downstairs. It would be great if this home could be made longer, it feels very short. I like the corner lifts, nice touch.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you for the feedback! True that, but we are about to install railguards soon! And technically you could get it in a 13m length version!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It’s amazing how well they hid the mechanisms 😁

[@anita5252_]

Great design, but definitely need a hand rail at least along the wall going up the stairs, and around the top floor, because if you like me who occasionally trips over my own feet lol…wouldn’t be very safe! I would prefer a big window next to bed too, so you could look out at the view, especially in the morning if their a nice sunrise, or even sunset at night too. Heated floor awesome. 😊

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

You can decide windows wherever you want to have them! In the end it’s all a question of individualisation! Railing will be installed soon!

[@narinelimanoff4715]

This tiny, but not so tiny home is absolutely incredible. Thank you for sharing international tiny home story!!! 💙💙💛💛

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you Narine!

[@DebbieTomkoSUNSHINE]

I like it! But I would put a fold out table under oven and add a wrap around sofa, and have the window open out instead of it. Also, need some type of railing on 2nd floor, and closet. I realized the steps. I don't use anything round, so an octagon window would look better. Where is the washer/dryer? Microwave? Maybe add a TV for movies that retracts up from behind a hidden cabinet??? Nice job with that lowering the top floor...:-)

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Debbie, thank you for your feedback! Lots of it we could integrate into the design of your customized house and we do offer full individualization for our houses! So nothing you need to worry about!

[@anitalanzen8491]

Adorable big windows, but I kind of miss closets for clothes

[@jonth3978]

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you Jon!

[@janeysiegrist5061]

Im terrified of the to floor. I would definitely need to incorporate a railing around that gaping hole in the floor

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

A removable railing would definitely be great, or maybe one of those super strong lounging nets 🤔😁

[@janeysiegrist5061]

@Tiny House Expedition No net! 😱 I have grandbabies 😆 I'd never let them upstairs 🤣

[@creativeartsfarm]

This is a very creative design! We would love to know more about how high winds impact the home motion - is there much rocking?

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Excellent question! Hopefully, the great folks at Vagabundo will hop over here to share about that. 😊 Also, check out their website: www.vagabundo-tinyhouse.com/en/vagabundo-flex

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Hey there, compared to a classic building you can feel minimal movements on the top floor, but only if you start dancing heavily or jumping around. But after all well less than in a camper van or car!

[@jacampbell6117]

Wow. That's pretty cool that the second floor goes down.

[@nicoleschuerman2559]

What a beautiful design and creative concept! Love this!

[@hoopla2671]

Amazing job! Absolutely stunning.

[@Ohsage1111]

The lifting second story is functional and cool. Some of the design choices aren't as practical as they need to be for tiny living. Doors and windows opening inward when they can slide uses up valuable space. The staircase is an opportunity for more kitchen storage which isn't being utilized to it's full potential here. Huge windows can be nice but having them come all the way down to the seat height means one is resting against a cold window.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Hi Sage, I totally get your point, in the end it's a big tradeoff between functionality and quality. We have thought about many features as for example additional storage underneath the staircase, but it does not apply to quality norms and will make the staircase very weak and expose our client to risk to injuries on the staircase. But after all, many more features could be implemented, you're definitely right!

[@IndianaSmallmouth]

@@Vagabundotinyhouse Americans don't understand how efficient and heavy German windows are. Ours are crap, yours are like bank vaults. But I did notice in my stay in Berlin and Hamburg you have far less urban insects. In the US, a concern would be insects getting in, that's why we have screen windows we install to allow in the air but keep out the insects.

[@carolanderson2648]

Like this. Would like a railing for stairs. Could maybe do a door over stairwell. So then you can't fall down or have more floor space if you need it. You could offer to do shelves racks you can adjust size then put pieces of wood on and rails for hanging clothes. So they are easy to take down for moving. Under the stairs could you design it better for more storage? Or even put draws on the steps. More storage is always good. Love the idea for you the under the house for bikes, lawnmower, and other items. This is only the beginning for you. Good luck! You are thinking outside the box!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Lots of great ideas 😊 thanks for sharing!

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Railing will be installed soon! We’ll update you on it once it’s done!

[@asktheanimals]

Really fun design. That would require wide & deep tie downs if it would survive the high winds we get in my home region. Side slide outs would probably be better for us than slide ups. 😊

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

You bring up a great topic. Hopefully the builders can jump on here with more info. 😊 Because you can set this on the ground (or of), that might provide additional security from wind and easily be tied down. It’s no taller than other homes and uses the same framing techniques.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you! We'll working on new solutions for the future and regarding wind and weather the house will sustain any weather of course except of hurricanes!

[@joantrotter3005]

​@@Vagabundotinyhouse ,I saw a video a few years ago where they had all plumbing and wiring going through an attachment used in oil and gas usually so it could be detached during a storm. And I have seen buoys attached to either deck or house twice. A former neighbor wanted to put their house on a barge or tugboat after surviving several hurricanes. A client in Washington bought a lot that flooded half the year and built a deck with a little cabin around his anchored fishing boat. Much cheaper than marina rent, and ruined his first wife's crazy plans! But similar idea. Hopefully this made sense; Might need more coffee 😂.

[@IndianaSmallmouth]

@@Vagabundotinyhouse Not sure Americans understand German construction. American houses are built very flimsy. The quality of your materials is probably lost on them without touching! On the other hand, wind could be an issue as high as it is.

[@Nico-mz9gq]

Such a beautiful design with a unique solution for compacted travel. Bravo!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Really is a rad design they came up with! 🍻

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you Nico! We love good design and try to push the market a bit into greater design!

[@HPDevlin]

Amazing how people decide on a tiny home then immediately look for a way to make it bigger! That said, this is a great way to make bigger more transportable by making it collapsible, The upper floor room needs protection around or over the open stairwell.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Hey Paul! There's different models for each personal need, if you want a smaller home decide for the vagabundo mini!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It’s about the same size as many tiny houses, but just with a full height 2nd story. Does make it feel luxurious compared to some!

😮 I love that spanish word makes total sense

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you vagabundo!

[@flyingaviator8158]

I really like the Idea, but the materials and style choosen remind me on a dormitory. In general it looks and feels very selfmade rather then luxurious. Which would be totally fine, but not for that price. In terms of the design it compets with houses around 40 / 50 tausend dollars. And at the end the second floor as much as I want to love it, is mostly the whole for the stairs. BIG potental, but not there yet.

[@thepalefox]

Nice but the lack of safety railing on the top floor terrifies me! They could probably create a hinged rail that lays flat on the top floor during travel and then just flips up vertically once the house is in situ.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

We show you our solution pretty soon! Will be stunning!

[@sushisuzanne99]

Stairs occupy lot of space in both level. Ideal position would be somewhere in the corner. Railing system can be installed more easily then. In shrinked situation the house is accessible or need to wait lifting procedure?

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

It is definitely true what you are saying, they take away a bit of space, but they also give more freedom to the whole house itself and separate the different areas of the house. However, individualization is possible!

[@sabrisgh]

Très, très beau travail. Bravo 👍

[@Jezidka]

this would be great on a semi truck! it wouldn't be considered a house, because it's on wheels and therefore no need to pay taxes on it.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

You could actually put it on a semi truck and travel the world!

[@XylonPH]

I think that because their focus is on modularity that it would be hard to create a space for storage. I really like the technology they adapted to make this thing possible but practically speaking, it's only for the very minimalist people. As you continue to live in your tiny, you acquire more stuff, and that means storage. Although I see storage in it, I don't think it's enough. Anyway, I'm not a minimalist. Another thing I notice is the top floor. I personally wouldn't want any toddler on the top floor as they can easily fall off because there are no rails or walls. Even not a toddler, anyone could accidentally fall. The concept is great, the technology is good, the overall design though isn't practical for me, in my opinion.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Great feedback! Really like the idea of some kind of railing and maybe a lounging net in that open space ✨

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Hey great feedback! We are about to install the rails, they will look great, catamaran nets... we'll be showing that soon on our instagram page!

[@arlander2001]

Superb 👌🏾

[@mcdibbern9919]

The concept is good, too often people have to crawl around the top floor of their TH which is a non no for lots of people. However it may be a generational think or a German design thing but I feel aesthetically it is too like a portacabin that you would see on a building site. Also inside it is all hard surfaces and sharp corners not comfortable. I appreciate the desire for lots of light but I feel that with all the windows you’d feel awfully exposed( also no wall space means no space for books or art.. The designers would do themselves a big favour if they got professional designers into to decorate and prepare it for showing. At the moment it his half TH have industrial unit.

I like the finishing materials they used and the quality of construction. But ultimately, having the roof telescope up seems a lot less practical than slide outs. The lifting roof forces an already narrow main living space to be even more cramped. Maybe someone can come up with a system where the upper walls fold down onto the upper floor and only the roof lowers down to rest on the folded walls.

Why put a light in the sink?

[@Natercakes]

anyone know if you can buy a just a metal chassis base like this in the U.S. or what they are called?

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It’s called a swap body and used for frequently by truckers. 😊 Here’s one US option we found: www.demount.com

@@TinyHouseExpedition Thanks!

It looks nice. But I'm concerned about the overall sturdiness of that structure - it's tall, narrow, and sits on top of just four small steel legs to support all of it.

rail for the stairs removable. Rail around the opening on second floor removable!!!!!!!!!! you must have never fallen

[@crisbycris4012]

It drives me crazy a hard working guy wearing a shirt that says vagabundo, because in Portuguese, vagabundo means a guy that doesn’t want to work nor study.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

We know what it means, but it means also free soul free spirit so we like to polarize!

[@michelleroberts9243]

I currently live in Europe, and for some reason this tiny home is not "appealing" to me because it's to Eropean. #ironic, right?😅 I guess I'm mostly used to seeing American tiny homes (and a few from Australia), and those styles suit me.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Interesting perspective! 😄

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

That's actually great feedback for us ;) thank you Michelle

[@jamesengland7461]

In English, we have the same word- vagabond.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

true! Which means someone who loves freedom, like a roamer or nomad!

[@crazyeightsable]

that's very nice,but it's clearly for the 85%...there are no bars on the steps and it's not wheelchair accessible.Not everyone can climb steps without a bar and not everyone can walk up stairs...

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Fair points! They have a new 2 one floor models they’ll be releasing soon 🙂

Allena! Absolutely true, we'll install these rail guards soon!

@@Vagabundotinyhouse thats good.I am sure that will help a lot of people.

[@opinionatedartist]

The idea is good but Crazy dangerous open floor upstairs! And I am not a fan of the lack of windows on the upper floor, it feels unbalanced.

[@RevdUp.Art.Fotografer]

We have bridges in the US and very tight building regulations. This place wouldn't make it without some serious foundation work and their water in/water out plan wouldn't fly as is. And in EARTHQUAKE areas those STILTS...AH NOT! Then there is the whole live in a fishbowl thing, have to hang the drapes from the ceiling....also not.... I know it snows in Germany, how could they think anyone is going to want to lean up against cold glass? I know that aside from no drapes there is next to no padding on the box in the 'living room'...am I wrong did he call that a couch? I was probably wrong....oy.... The kitchen has a very odd layout & next to no storage. A light up sink won't fix that. The space he talked about for a washer in the bathroom, I really don't think that the washer/dryer combos we have would fit if you wanted to be able to open the door...all the way.... There is no handrail on the stairs - HUGE SAFETY ISSUE... Upstairs is little more that a jacked up box. There is zero storage. Def would not be considered a bedroom here....no closet, but hey there's a expanding table. WooHoo. And for what they are charging??? We could get a totally, fully, decked out Tiny house for less that that. FOR SURE...and maybe one that lifts too.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Thank you for your comment and sharing your thoughts about it! Valuable individual feedback!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

You raise some good points. To address a few of your concerns: one of the parking options for this house is to be set on the ground, and he didn’t mentions but they’re working on a railing system that will be out soon. There’s a fairly narrow top loading washer that could fit in the space in the bathroom; featured in this skoolie’s bedroom: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqOqnpl_jqeojrc

[@tanbl6746]

The house design is too square and stiff, doesnt have the cosy homey look from outside. It looks like a robot house. It gives me the boxed in feeling!

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

thanks for your feedback once you sit inside it feels different!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Definitely a personal style preference 😁 some love modern clean

In Portuguese, "VAGABUNDO" means: "One who acts without seriousness or with dishonesty; scoundrel, rogue." So that's a bad name. I would like you to know that. 🇧🇷✌🏼

[@gradyra19]

Would be afraid of the upper floor- not much safety or floor. Yikes.

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Will be installed soon Sara! Thank your for your feedback!

[@FEELSORRY4URASS]

Why is the second floor so dangerous? On wrong step Or did I miss something I don’t want to be judge Lol

[@MBMCincy63]

was across the room and heard the accent??!!! OHHHH< okay... Not really a fan of this particular model. thanks for keeping it interesting!!! shivering black bell Thumbs up

Happy to share latest tiny house innovations from around the world! 😁😊

Sink light and water might not be a good idea long the run

[@Gail-gf7km]

Would not take much of a wind to knock it over. Not safe at all!

[@Vagabundotinyhouse]

Hi Gail, we can feel your worries, but the house has been statically calculated to be safe in any environment!

Good invention on raising and lowering for second floor, but their is nothing warm and inviting. It is ugly, cold and austere.

[@debblouin]

The ground floor looks like a cell. That is not a living room. You gentlemen need a designer; as engineers, you thought of function but you did not think of actual living. I was so excited to see someone had finally incorporated a lift but you missed to totally-and you talk about customization but the space is even more limited than any other tiny home.
