It's always so much fun to look back over some past tours. It's a wonderful reminder of our beautiful tiny house family and the wonderful creative human spirit which fills our community. We hope you enjoy this compilation! You can find the links to the full tours of each of the homes featured in this episode in the video description. We hope you enjoy this episode!

I love the episodes that look back, especially the end of year ones! This is a bumper edition!

[@ihuomasindextv4255]

Seems like I have watched all your videos. I could recognize every episode you featured in this one. I doubt if I will ever get bored watching tiny houses. The creativity involved blows my mind every time. Every single one is a work of art. Thank you for bringing all these beauties to our screens.

Learn to use Sketchup and build it in your imagination and your computer...that skill will stay with you your entire life.

[@eskanderx1027]

You can start tinkering with ideas for your future tiny house already now by building a tiny scale version using cardboard or even start learning a free CAD program (like Fusion 360 or Sketchup, a great skill to have) to do it virtually. And remember - you're never too small to build a tiny house 😜

[@jasmine2936]

Seeing any tiny house is exciting but seeing these multifunctional designs as well is just even more enticing!!

Awwwww that feeling when you identify most of the homes!!! Anyone else?

Bryce's lift-up tv is still the coolest feature!!

These videos are therapeutic. The best part about this format of video is, it is cataloging all the brilliant ideas in one video. So helpful. Thank you so much.

[@enderpiyale]

I like to see new tiny homes but those kind of compilations are cool as well

[@cynmann4584]

This compilation video is one of the most interesting that I have seen. People's creativity utilizing small spaces is amazing.

[@nancyl3843]

I would love to see a show on tiny house communities designed for seniors, and also more tiny homes designed for the same. I love your show.

[@janlint7434]

Nancy; check out Incredible Tiny Homes on KZbin. They’re in Newport, Tennessee, USA 🇺🇸. They’re into the beginning stages of opening up their tiny home parks. It’s not restricted to seniors but most of the people moving there are older.

[@natashas.o.6380]

This channel has a video with a tiny house for an elderly lady that looks just divine, none of the climbing up rooms or bending down to get things, wish I’d know what it’s called to share with you!

[@wownewstome6123]

Have you seen this vid on this channel? "Tiny House Designed To Be Elderly / Disability / Mobility Friendly"

[@kyrie2516]

Creativity, efficiency, comfort, and beauty exposed to the bones of those who reside in the fascinating community of Tiny House Dwellers. You presented great ways to adapt any space to accommodate for anyone who lives with disabilities and everyone else who prefers the amazing possibilities in tiny homes. Adaptability is required for all housing so humans can live in their homes from cradle to grave as we all need housing that changes to fit our families and ourselves. This video is packed with possibilities for transforming living spaces of a compact portable dwelling. I wasn’t clear if you wanted suggestions about the housing or a community built of Tiny Houses. The city of Seattle, WA, USA did a test project using 20’ containers with built-in beds, small tables, a chair, lighting, heating, sink, toilet, and PRIVATE lockable space of their own. The Community Center contained showers, changing spaces, laundry machines; communal kitchen meals prepared and served in dining/meeting/recreation area. Not sure if this is still running but a terrific idea!

[@Ariplaygames]

Hello Bryce and Rasa! I just wanted to thank you for how much you have helped me personally. Im in a difficult situation financially and I have depression, so is often really hard to to believe in my dreams and have hope for a happy and secure future, but your channel has totally changed that for me! Any time Im feeling down or discouraged I come here and watch another video and youre so full of positivity and make everything seem so possible no matter how tiny. It might seem trivial to many, but in my hard times you really changed my life! So thank you both! I hope some day I get to show you my own tiny home! :)

[@januzzell8631]

I'd forgotten the Tiny Japanese home - oh my goodness, it's SO clever and so beautifully made but SO dinky!! All the other homes look HUGE in comparison! Thanks Bryce & Rasa - another delightful video

[@ravent3016]

IIRC, that home is for trips, not full time living.

[@bonniepwtf]

I remember almost all of these. Such clever solutions.

Man when I watch these compilation videos I realize just how many diverse homes you've toured! So great to see so many people are so welcoming and sharing

[@mossotolemc5345]

Bonjour Bryce. J'apprécie vraiment votre nouvelle coiffure et vos reportages et j'espère un jour pouvoir avoir une tiny house hors de Paris. Comme je suis assez costaud, j'aimerai bien voir une synthèse des différents moyens d'accès au premier étage de la tiny house pour aller dans la chambre. Je trouve que les systèmes d'échelle sont souvent peu sûrs pour une personne qui n'est plus tout à fait jeune 😄Il y a aussi le sujet de la sécurité qui n'est jamais abordé dans les vidéos sur les tiny house. Comment sécurise-t-on une tiny house ? Des tiny houses ont-elles déjà été volées par exemple quand les personnes s'absentent ? Aussi, comment est exploité l'extérieur des tiny houses. Le déplacement des tiny houses est-il si simple ? Faut-il préparer le contenu de la tiny ? Que doit-on faire avant ? Les différentes types de fenêtres dans les tiny houses. Pourquoi les cuisines prennent-elles tant de place dans les tiny houses ? J'adore vraiment la disposition de la votre 👍🏾 Il y a plein de thèmes possibles et passionnants à développer. Mille mercis pour tout ce travaille et bonjour avec votre jolie dame. Bises from Paris, France.
