My favorite feature, besides the high ceilings and natural light which make it spacious inside, is the fact that there is NO PAINT !!! Yes !!! I can't stress that enough. Paint gets old, dirty, and peels and crumbles... and then you have to repaint the entire interior again, usually every 5 years. Such a headache. It never looks as good as the first time and paint splatters get everywhere. The wood walls and ceiling are stunning and will age with beautiful patina over time... just like Kerry Tarnow.

Maybe you're just a sloppy painter... You know you have to wet sand any painted surface before you put more paint on it, right? Otherwise, it gets flaky and you have to layer it on thicker for it to stick. Also, newspaper and drop cloths exist. If you're gonna complain, at least complain about VOCs or toxic pigments. But then, with all the particle board and plastic in this house, it would really invalidate such an argument. It is really annoying when people refer to manufactured board as 'wood'. That's not what it is. It is a bunch of sawdust held together with glue or plastic. Now, if you made particle board using casein glue or bioplastic resin as the binder, it might be able to be considered as 'green' at least.

Here’s the thing folks; 80% of construction costs are related to moving construction materials around! If you have to ship this house across ocean, costs would skyrocket for the per foot price. Also, many cities have minimum square foot requirements to build a house so small homes like these are not allowed. Hooking up a house to local utilities can cost as much as $50k alone. Why not just sell plans for this house and local installers do the rest???

They dont offer that for a reason. It needs so much onsite setup it isnt any different than just building that size of a house. All of the cost savings come from factory assembly. Volume production in controlled conditons.

Where the large living room window is would be to nice have sliding glass doors and an attached greenhouse room with a small wood burning stove. This would expand the entire living room area and help with heat in the winter. Lovely place.

Looks like exterior storage will be a must.

Latvia and Estonia seem to be making real waves in industry since they left the USSR. I have a family friend who retired to Latvia after going to a language immersion thing. He loved it there. I’m sure if they can keep this pricing after they get their houses established they will want to build a factory here. Well, states are clamoring for them. One sure way to get the price of housing down is build good houses cheaply. There is a ton of need.

This is a beautiful home and this is what I'm looking at. Thank you so much for putting out these tiny home videos. Do we need a homework for us❤

That Nordic Plus would make a perfect studio. I could store materials in the loft. Nice !

Great looking home, but I am not on board with all of the windows that it has; for safety reasons, I wish they had something with a little less windows and more solid walls, especially the bedroom area. The washer in the bath area is odd to me, but this not a US built home, so it is what it is, but it is beautiful. Thanks for the video
