Mind-Blowing Ultra-Compact Eco Tiny House

This mind blowing tiny house on wheels has it all! Completely off the grid and sized at just 10m2 (107 f2) including the loft, this ultra compact home is packed full of clever design ideas. Ingenious construction techniques and lightweight, eco-friendly materials make this tiny house perfect for full time living and travel on European roads.
Builder Thomas set out to design and construct a tiny house on wheels that would be perfectly suited to travel throughout France and Europe. It had to be compact, constructed from healthy, eco-friendly materials and be beautiful. All things which he has accomplished in this very clever tiny house design.
This super tiny house is also designed to be completely off the grid, with a brilliant mix of modern and old fashioned technologies to ensure the home is always fully functional, without being wasteful.
In this video we explore the construction materials used to make this lightweight, eco friendly design possible, and we also dive into some really great design discussion around the use of sacred geometry which was used to work out the home’s proportions. Enjoy the full video tour of this very special tiny house on wheels!

Milk paint (milk, pigments and lime and/or borax to activate the casein) has been used for thousands of years, even before France was a country. :) It was very popular in America as well, at some point most of the arch-typical red barn farmhouses were painted with casein mixtures. It’s becoming popular again since it’s such a environmentally friendly choice with zero VOCs: easy to make, and if you google around, you’ll find several companies marketing powder mixes in lovely colours ❤️

I love the cozy couch and how the ladder acts as a barrierr for the shelf and so does the table. The sink and stove is also clever. Im not a fan of many windows and this is perfect because of the sense of security it gives. Really thankful for sharing this great find❤

He's a clever man

[@hangsolong8180]

Yes plus real building talent... way he talk, explain...

[@MeiyuAkumano]

This is breathtaking! How much space he got into such a tiny Tiny House!😲 the design is really clever and you got everything you need.❤ it feels way much bigger from the inside and is very bright, even with such small windows.👍

There is something called: wide angle lenses!

[@bosvigos9165]

This has to be one of the most innovative designs ever! For something so compact, to offer so very much on the inside, thoughtfully designed, really, thinking of everything. The light and space is truly wonderful. This, I could live in! 💕

Hi 👋 guys! I got so excited 😆 to see another awesome video! I applaud 👏 you when you mentioned for medical issues you need a bed downstairs. I’ve always thought that when I see people making tiny lift bedrooms.

[@checkthecoding]

Thank you Bryce for the build aspects and questions you asked Thomas in this presentation. Rasa’s filming captures the brilliance here. Yes, sacred geometry is the heart and light of this exceptional creativity. It’s fascinating to learn about the natural solutions Thomas researched and applied to the construction. Thank you Thomas for your thoughtful philosophy and intelligence in engineering beautiful, life-enhancing Tiny Homes.

Dude, this guy's response to the very first question is so insanely artsy and French, it's incredible :)

[@jeremydesmond4275]

"The more you have limits, the most you need to be creative" beautifully said as only a Frenchman could. So true, love it

[@katkohler]

Such clean and smooth lines. I love the simplicity and beauty of it.

[@louisejones6239]

Thank you Bryce for the show of such a charming and cozy warm feel of this adorable tiny home. I can actually see myself living in it!

[@livingbig]

Thanks Louise! Glad you like it. :)

Well Lewis Carroll missed a trick not naming his book Alice in The Wonderful World :D

[@joelhowland3597]

You know when you see someone in a video and just think 'we would be great friends'? I'd like to share a bottle of wine with this bloke.

[@paulaneary7877]

Wow, this is just beautiful! It is so small, but so VERY PEACEFUL! Interestingly enough, I think I would chose this over some of the larger ones. It just seems so simple, uncluttered, yet very functional. I also appreciate the man's attitude towards building them, not so serious even though he knows it is important. Great job on the video!

[@lesleywebb9615]

Amazing home. Love the geometry and use of natural materials. So good that it is relatively easy to tow with a normal large vehicle. I would love to tour Europe with one of these. Thanks Bryce and Rasa

[@terrymathis4213]

I've never seen a company go tiny till now. I truly love it. It's tiny, but it still has everything you need. This man did right in his learning to build. He also pulled it with a small car.

[@pbjsilverstudio4882]

That’s really a WONDERFUL little home.

[@hotwaterisspicy]

This is one of my favorite episodes yet! The house is beautiful, clever and so suprising! And the designer is someone i instantly wanted to become friends with, i could imagine having such wonderful conversations with him! I love what he has created and i wish him much success with his business!

[@reptar4504]

I'm pretty sure Bryce is really Connor Macleod, The Highlander.

What a beautiful tiny house!!! Makes one want to have one and live in it. Thomas is wonderful person, architect and designer as well! Congratulations! What a blessing! 👏😮😀

[@shiouchujudywang4050]

This is probably the most clear designed compact tiny and functional house! Well done!

[@wilmaknickersfit]

What a fantastic example of the innovation happening in Europe in the tiny house community!

[@EDBailley]

Wow what a adorable tiny house, he really put alot of time and effort into building it. When I first seen it from the outside I said omg that's too tiny but once I seen the inside, wow it's sooo amazing it seems bigger than it really is. He is really a brilliant man to come up with that design for a tiny house.

[@evalinawarne1337]

You mentioned you worked with Gypsies. My father's family in 1700 was SPANISH GYPSIES. MY PARENTS ARE BORN IN GER- MANY. 1921 & 1922. I AM FROM CANADA. I LIVE IN s.e.michigan u.s.a. You have built a wonderful 🏡 HOME. THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. CHOW. I LOVE HOW YOU HAVE CREATED SO MUCH IN A SMALLER COZY HOME. PERFECT 🀄🛐✝️🀄🍦🍦☕☕🦋🌹🌹🐟🐟🌞🌟

[@manfredschmalbach9023]

Very wisely reduced installation in terms of water, "if it's not easy we don't want to use it" (too much that is) 😂. And being under 1.5 tons it is really movable with a normal European car .... great exception in the movement's solutions generally offered these days. It is _very_ tiny though, but still usable and kinda complete.

[@christopherr.2180]

Only two minutes into the video and I'm already pumped to explore this fascinating tiny house! That is some Bryce magic right there!!!

[@livingbig]

Thanks Christopher! Enjoy!

[@taleihall1556]

Fantastic! This man is an incredibly beautiful soul, sincere, intelligent, and super creative. Gorgeous designs.. Simple, Elegant, Practical..with Mother Natures interest at heart. So inspired, by the house and the human! May you be blessed with many builds, as the new owners will be so blessed to receive them. With Love from Australia 🤗

[@AnnMarieKing]

Is perfect geometry the reason why the look and proportion of this tiny house are so pleasing to the eye? Reminds me of a little monopoly house from the outside. Now binge watching during the COVID downtime .

[@phyl1283]

The best one yet. The builder has thought through everything in these tiny houses. I expecially like the way he installed the roofing panels at the valley. I don't know why I never thought of that before, but it is a great way to get the valley drain without putting in a valley separately from the roofing. It seems he has really spent a lot of time working out every detail to the ultimate solution. He should open a factory in the US and become a world supplier. The exterior is so well detailed that it looks almost machined. Excellent in every way. This one reminds me of the other recent French tiny house that you recently featured - it was also very well detailed and constructed.

[@Moerocha62]

That was an extremely fascinating interview and one of the most well thought out and well researched plans for a tiny house. I am so interested to find out more about the glue used since most adhesives can be toxic. I also want to learn more about sacred geometry. This would be a great tiny house for a young person just starting out who can work from home and wants to travel freely. 💜🙏🏻

[@charmaccents6278]

I am going to look into sacred geometry. Never heard of it before.

[@BuildNRoll]

@@charmaccents6278 it's not sacred geometry rather search for "golden ratio"

[@BuildNRoll]

Actually I'm just a random commenter, knowing next to nothing of the things I'm commenting on, so of course search for everything you want and don't take my comment into account :-)

[@darklittlepeople]

yes ! i would totally pair this with a van - for tracting it and settling the tiny somewhere for a few months at a time, than exploring the surroundings in shorter trips in the van...

[@wownewstome6123]

One of the best videos I've seen on the Golden Ratio is titled: "The Golden Ratio...for designers." For drawing by hand, you can find instructions online for making your own Golden Ratio ruler. FYI: other terms are used, too, such as golden section, -spiral, -rectangle, -triangle, and the divine ratio.

[@DavidGetchel]

Probably the best design of a tiny house I've seen! Really efficient use of space.

[@mart5208]

It's amazing how the space is arranged. It doesn't feel small at all on the inside. Thomas' design is truly inspiring.

[@woop2235]

Thank you Bryce for another wonderful experience 👍🏼 😍

[@MagnificentHealingCreations]

Brilliant!!! Loving the incorporation of the golden ratio!!! Creates harmony and balance in a space. Thank You

[@livingbig]

It sure does! Glad. you like the home.
