This Tiny House ADU proves thoughtful design makes all the difference!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Jeramy & Kevin built a wonderfully simple & well designed tiny house accessory dwelling unit--35.7 sqm / 384 sqft. It's all about the thoughtful details! They also share top small space design considerations, why cost per square footage is misleading, and about their new Nanostead code-compliant, affordable tiny house shells. 🏡 *Tour a gorgeous small cabin they built & designed:* kzbin.info/www/bejne/sJaZY5eNaaueh7csi=d5zP5iAjWmepywgo

I absolutely love this design! It's got everything one needs. I'd want a full fridge though & one upper cabinet. But I love the bar between kitchen & living space. Perfect for having guests over! Love seeing all the tree tops out the windows. Gorgeous!

I love his comment about building an heirloom. Something that will be there in one hundred years. It should be a house made with integrity! INTEGRITY is very important!!

Build as though you’re building an heirloom. How perfect is that? I couldn’t love that statement anymore.

I love your camera person on this one. More professionally done than some I’ve seen on any channel. They touched on money but he never said how much that particular house cost to build.

I appreciate the reference to customization at the end because I like their concepts and principles but would prefer a larger bathroom and living area.

Right sized...I like that 😊

[@debbeasher-k4764]

Like that shape and size & brick of the patio.

[@Houseds]

You guys designed a very beautiful small house model and the exterior amenities are very outstanding. Reusing old tile floors is very good and overall harmonious.

[@froshnel]

This is by far my favorite designed tiny house I've seen yet, I would personally make it like 500-600 sq ft, so I could maybe add an extra room for like a computer and stuff along that line, but overall 100/10 absolutely beautiful

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

That's a great idea!

[@mariandreher9056]

I love this building. 😮

[@debbeasher-k4764]

I really appreciate your view of integrity...an heirloom.... It looks sturdy. & nicely laid out.

[@bkfacs]

Thanks Alexis and Christian for bringing another perspective to ‘tiny’. As the guys from Nanostead stated, all homes need the basic components-kitchen, bathroom, sleeping, entertainment, as well as the electrical and plumbing hookups. And the way those are interpreted does effect price. Thanks again, I really enjoyed this one! I have thought about putting an ADU in my son’s backyard. 😊

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

So happy to share! We’ve been big fans of these guys for a long time. Love their down to earth perspective and thoughtfulness with all their builds. 😊 Excited to hear about your son’s potential ADU!

[@mass4552]

Love this design. All the rooms are well laid out and the perfect size. Would only change one thing and that would be to put in a full size fridge.

Love our similar view of design and use! PLEASE consider installing the washer plumbing ABOVE the washer and sink cabinetry with doors which go all the way to the sink rim and not have that dead space you have to get way down to see what is in it. Florida grandma from life experience.

[@emilymorse6374]

You guys are truly inspirational! As a single woman with no kids and no partner to help me out in life I rely on myself only! I live paycheck to paycheck which sucks but seeing tiny homes gives me hope. I love watching all the designs and ideas and have made it my goal to see myself in my own tiny home! My true dream home would be completely off grid! Thanks for your amazing ideas and inspiration!

I really like tjis design. I would want a bit more space to be able to paint, for books, a stereo, plus need more kitchen storage as I love to cook. Bigger bedroom closet - especially for those of us in Northern climates. Overall design is well thought out

[@lisaraper8053]

I think for those living tiny you go back to seasonal closets. Packing the summer and winter clothes away when not in season. As opposed to all clothes being out. But I get everything else. I just posted I need a tiny house with room to paint, draw, craft, make art glass, my stereo and record player as well as a place to grow a garden of food and a kitchen to cook it in. Plus the tools for both. Oh my….

[@terrestreasures9138]

[@neilmakohoniuk3768]

need more of this style available in Canada. My mind always goes to things like - does it qualify for a standard mortgage? Insurance? Zoning etc.

[@khadramoha2192]

Well, if a tiny house cause the same amount of money as an average house then just get an average house. I am 100% pro tiny house but when the prices starts getting ridiculous… it’s time to go back to normalcy.

[@kylieanneking2606]

True

[@DawnOldham]

Perhaps that is why they are also offering the manuals that come with the code-compliant shells that they sell. They said it's an affordable alternative because you are your own contractor since you have the directions included. Idk Also, there are people who have the money to build a beautiful unit in their backyard for the occasional friend or family members who stop in. I've seen plenty of affordable tiny homes on these channels, but as always, most are DIYs.

[@lucymorgan8859]

The square foot cost may be the same as a larger house, but you have to keep in mind, with a tiny, or small house, there are alot less square feet... $200 per sqft x 2000sqft, is alot more than $350 x 350sqft.....

[@clovermark39]

This is quite a large house. I wouldn’t say it’s in the Tiny category.

[@Rocketscientist66]

How much did it cost? Don‘t have time to watch the whole thing.

[@barbarawalton3815]

im impressed wonder what it would cost for a consult

[@janiceeteme5536]

I would expand this square footage to 850-1000 square feet and just build a real little house since this layout cost close to what a regular house would cost

[@melodic21]

Agreed! 1000 sq ft is a perfect small home. And pretty much the same cost.

[@amberjones5563]

I know this video is 2 months old but I am really interested in the wall clock in the kitchen.Is there any way you could find out what brand it is and where it was purchased?Thank you.

This looks a lot bigger than a tinyhouse. I'd be convinced if it was already a regular house considering it's its a lot bigger than what most people with studio apartments are used to living in.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

It looks so much bigger! But still under 400 Sq Ft. 😄 Vaulted ceilings and lots of windows really make it feel spacious 👌

[@yaramercedes2931]

I’m so disappointed with the tiny house movement’s trajectory. Jay Schaffer started it as means to make sheltering a person affordable(

[@alisonnelson5030]

Well said, I agree with you 100%, except for the last Paragraph...get real🤨

[@josephschultz]

yes it's all going as planned you will own nothing and like it you can live in the new "" Smart Cities "" so they can CONTROL everything you say do and watch, why do you think home prices are through the roof all farm land being bought up car and other prices are going through the roof the Guberment buying up massive amounts of land???? think about that it's all just my opinion I need to go buy some more tinfoil so stop and think

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Anything under 500 SQFT is considered a tiny home 😁. This one is 16ft x 24ft which puts it at 384 SQFT so it counts! It definitely seems bigger because of the ceiling height and all the great windows and this one is on a foundation so there are lots of additional permitting costs to consider

[@khadramoha2192]

@@TinyHouseExpedition you’re missing the point, tiny homes should be affordable, not with prices that are constantly jacking up

There aren't great options for efficient electric tankless units. Gas is a non renewable resource, and so green builders often go all electric in an effort towards sustainability.

Susan Susanka called them "Not so small homes" or "not so big homes". Similar design basis, what will you USE and how can you stretch the home by design rather than additional floor space. Love your work!

[@FGM013]

Love the philosophy of the builders. I appreciate the reuse of the bricks. I love the flexibility of this concept. Start with the basic shell and configure the interior to meet the wants and needs of the residents. By the time the video was over, I had already redesigned it to better suit me. I love the abundance of windows and could envision adding more. The blinds chosen by the owners are wonderful and allow for varying amounts of privacy and light. I mostly liked the kitchen/living room layout but would use my choice of appliances and finishes. (Interestingly, I would have chosen the same cabinets but with walnut countertops and copper hardware/fixtures) I would place the bathroom on the other wall to simplify the plumbing layout and because I hate the “shelf” ceiling over the bathroom. I don’t like the barn door style and prefer pocket doors. The orientation would change to utilize that fantastic roof for solar panels necessitating a larger mechanical room. I hadn’t figured out how to accommodate my “library” and hydroponics but I think even that is doable. I think the one item I want that would be a challenge from a code perspective is a recirculating shower. I’ve saved this video in my collection of future home ideas.

Lack of dishwasher was a design mistake, IMO. From what I understand, they are more efficient and sanitize better than handwashing. It feels like overkill sometimes, but it's more function than luxury. I'd remove one of those cabinets or just redesign the space to fit a freezer/fridge and dishwasher.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Great idea! Keep in mind that this space is used primarily as an office and occasional guest house, so the occupants aren't washing too many dishes. Thankfully these are custom built so you can add that feature into your own personalized design!

This Tiny home is likely 150k+ based on 16:20. Tiny house living was supposed to be affordable and building something this nice your self would be hard but not impossible.
