Beautiful architecture but it's a bedroom with a partial kitchen(ette) and bathroom. There is no place to sit, relax or have company, other than to sit outside which is not always a logical solution. Nice idea though. [I was a designer in my 'former' days.]

I absolutely love the concept, design, and execution of the build of this tiny home. Many architects and interior designers completely ignore concepts of passive heating and cooling when conjuring up designs for homes and I’m super happy to see these concepts were not ignored here. Not to mention, the effective use of solar panels and the off grid water solution that help further keep the overhead costs minimal is just unreal.

Gorgeous views and beautiful cabin but I feel like I just watched a 7 minute airbnb listing advert rather than a small space home tour. There's already tons of channels focusing solely on airbnb reviews and tours, I hope NeverTooSmall doesn't turn into another one and lose its charm in the process.

[@eghaeee]

I agree! Don't know if it's different in Oceania, but in the U.S., AirBnB is one of the main drivers of gentrification in a lot of cities, so it's interesting/strange for me to see it spun as an opportunity for innovative design and getaways.

Whilst I understand what you guys are talking about, I'm not bothered for the occasional ad because NTS needs money, and this is fundamental for them to keep going and have this channel. Otherwise could be difficult for them to maintain their beautiful work.

[@chezmoi42]

@@getoffthisrocktravel2054 Exactly, and it is really an inspiration, architecturally, for anyone who is looking for ideas. Not too difficult to work out a few changes to the design that could make it a full-time tiny home. I've never understood people who whine because a tiny house is too large or too luxurious or there's not enough storage or whatever. Just take the ideas you can use, leave the rest. It's not as if we're buying it.

[@elasroczynski5987]

I get what you mean.. with housing prices being what they are today I am actually considering a tiny house in the future..The thing I like about it is if you don't like where you live you can move the house to a new location.. it's better than having to build, buy or rent another home. It needs to be large enough to be practical for everyday life though.

So much to like here - the setting, the architecture, the materials used, and the minimalism. There's a calm and peacefulness that is very appealing. One thing lacking for me however is the absence of a living area where one could congregate and entertain or even just sit and read a book. And of lesser concern, I didn't see any kind of storage anywhere. Otherwise, really lovely.

[@kismetau]

Good points. I would’ve also added some kind of outdoor shade as the sun in Australia especially in summer is a killer. Then that could be used as a kind of living area.

These curated architecturally built airbnbs won't change their perception.

eventhough this building has small footprint and artistically designed, tbh i think that it doesn't reflect the "smart design and creative use of space" that usually came in every NTS video (and NTS put that principles in their "About" section) but as an interlude from the usual video, i love it ❤️

[@potatopotatoeOG]

The guy with the eyebrows!

[@AmaraJordanMusic]

I agree. This is just… an AirBnB. It’s not very cleverly designed at all, more than anything else that’s small that has all the necessaries. It’s not innovative. There’s not even storage or much of a living space. Which, as an overnight spot isn’t necessary, I get, but… that just reduces how much they have to innovate, makes it less livable, and not what this channel was supposed to be about, in their own words. It’s a lovely property, but there are many of those. I find myself disappointed.

[@hanifmckagan4448]

yeah, it is just a massive deluxe hotel room.

[@realmofthesenses]

I guess it's all about the view and the small footprint, not so much about living for a longer period. Inside it's like a beautiful, comfortable motel-room. Outside fire, love it.

One of the most beautiful tiny house/cabin on KZbin!

[@funyogi516]

i think it's an absolutely gorgeous home and looks very open, airy, cozy, unique. Gorgeous windows and high ceilings. However, as someone who has built many airbnb studios as accessory buildings... a living space is very important, and even though the open concept tub shower looks beautiful it will certainly feel uncomfortable to use as most guests are not accustomed to it and that narrows the target market. One of the smaller studios I've built is just 370sf and in the layout it has a full living room with a 3 seater couch, full size kitchen including a full size island/breakfast bar, and of course a separate washroom - the only thing it does not have is the free-standing tub

Absolutely love this, but there are two things about the design that doesn't feel right. First, the bed opposite the kitchen, the bedding is going to absorb all the smells and spills from the kitchen, i would have put the sink next to the bath in the bathroom and put the bed where the sink is. Second, is the lack of 'living room', no sofa or place to sit indoors, especially near that wonderful log burner fire. Maybe an option would be to have a sofa bed, thus combining living room and bedroom into one space without compromising floor space. Just my opinion :-)

I love the exterior, but to me the interior feels ill-conceived. Who wants to cook right next to where they sleep, and have their bedding take on the smells of their dinner? And I find showers with no barrier around them to be better in theory than in practice, because they tend to splash water all over, even if there is a depressed area for the drain. Finally, as someone else said, it’s too bad there isn’t some sort of a seating area other than the bed. Perhaps it could’ve been a queen bed to save some space for that.
