Wilderwise Modular Tiny House - FULL 2 Story Tiny Home w/Lifting Roof!

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Meet CEO Arya, an experienced tiny dweller. She & her team developed the innovative Wilderwise tiny house to solve a key pain point for tiny house on wheels design, crawl-in lofts. Solution: roof lifts to 17-ft when parked! And it's fully modular, inside & out for max flexibility. Enjoy a look at their innovative prototype!

Until now, I never saw the advantage of a tiny house over a comparably sized RV. But the modular aspects of this home are quite impressive. Perhaps , in future, that will allow one to have a hand-powered or electric lift module (to replace the stairs) that would solve the remaining issue for those of us who cannot do stairs (elderly and disabled).

[@meleenabradley3017]

Wind? how does it withstands the gusts of winds? I would be afraid that it would topple over.

[@meleenabradley3017]

My concern is the Wind! How does it stand against the gusts of wind? I would be afraid that it would topple over. Do you have data on how it rates in windy areas of our country?

[@ImDBatty1]

I've seen this done on a smaller scale, where the upper level lifts up, in old gypsy vardos, and a few traveling booths at festivals...

[@CherrysLife35020]

Do you have an option for a bathtub / shower combo?

[@kimberlypoole5325]

Finally, a tiny house with a bedroom that is not a loft. Exactly what would keep me from living in a tiny home is the headroom in the bedroom. No way am I gonna climb up stairs & not be able to stand up. So bad for the back. I love this idea. So ingenious Love it.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you! This is exactly the issue we aimed to solve with our design :)

[@pbear49]

Ist of all,, I'm amazed that it can be taken apart to fit in a small area or lot. The planners did an excellent Job of planning it out Also being able to standup in the loft. Wow.. I would probably modify the Kitchen for my personal needs. Overall I really liked it.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you - glad you love it! Customizations to the kitchen are definitely possible :)

[@FionaEm]

I like this lady's mindset even more than the house itself! A clever designer and very community minded.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you so much!

[@angellosmalefakis1321]

This is by far the best design from the bathroom, to the bedroom, to the second floor, to the kitchen, to the balcony. Wow! It looks amazing all around.

Many thanks! :)

[@mariegallagher4725]

WOW your tiny home is truly amazing. The BEST I have seen. I wish you had a branch of your family company in Australia. We have a housing crises here too and most Aussies are very concious of addressing the problem. Many, many people don't wants to be burdened with ridiculously high mortgages and the tiny home movement is growing very fast. Thankyou for your video and I know with all your research and innovation you will do so, so well and help many people live happier lives. Truly remarkable. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Yes, the tiny home movement there is growing fast! Hopefully, we will get there soon to check some of them out!

[@niftytraveler]

I've been looking at a lot of tiny house tours. And that loft is brutal on most of those houses. I knew the issue was the height that is the limit for traveling, and I actually had the idea there's got to be a way to lower and prop up the roof. I'm so excited that someone's already figured it out and has technology to make that happen.

[@MzJaiAllDay]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! They are about everything I believe in. I don't necessarily want to go small but my daughter does one day. I am addicted to watching tiny home videos though 🤣. I've always believed that tiny homes could be an option for the homeless, college students, an in law suite, adult children who aren't quite ready to leave but need their own space, the list goes on. (can you tell I have given this ALOT of thought? 🤭) This is AMAZING!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you so much! And yes, there are many amazing applications for this kind of home :)

[@TaliaIGhul]

That's a sweet business Arya and her family started. I wish them well since we need more housing providers like them. The tiny house they showed is very modular and livable.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@anthonymar-forman6442]

If we could get one with an additional 10 feet of length, I feel like it's be the perfect tiny home. Rarely am I impressed with a tiny house, but this one blew my socks off!

[@jershumuyo2734]

While that particular layout isn't for me (the kitchen is a bit claustrophobic for me) the idea and implications could be huge going forward. Expect great things from these two!

[@robnarie]

Right me too

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thanks for seeing the potential in our vision! Yes, the layout and size is not for everyone. This particular model is great for travel and small lot sizes/developments. Larger models may suit some people better. We will offer larger sizes when we expand our product line. I think most videos makes the space (especially the kitchen) feel smaller than it really is. Most people who tour the home in person comment on how spacious it is!

[@erichanastacio9695]

Instead of going vertical, have one going horizontal. There are designs that opens up the left and right sides and then you'll have triple the floor area.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

@@erichanastacio9695 We plan to do both!

[@erichanastacio9695]

@@WilderwiseHomes Nice. I have a design proposal for you. 4X the floor area. Just like your design, you lift the 2nd floor structure up, then the 1st floor opens the left and right sides. Also, would there be a possibility to have a door on the 2nd floor leading to the outside? (If not, maybe an outside ladder) It'll be like having a balcony or two. Possibly attaching some railings preventing accidental falling. Or you can even put solar panels up there.

I’d definitely need a bigger sink, a window over the sink and an exhaust fan, but everything else is radically awesome, clever, innovative and cutting edge design in Tiny Houses! Makes you wonder what other brilliant new design ideas will come out in the next few years!!

[@victorialove9104]

@@rickpascual4340 yes. Windows over sinks and sink size is important.

[@janetsmedley4725]

Yes!! A bigger sink is a must in a kitchen that you intend to actually cook in. Also, as a person with allergies, a vent is a MUST over a stove top. I also question the oven they've included. Did they think of a microwave convection oven? The rest of the place is pretty great and the price is actually not that bad.

[@lorettastamps]

I saw a tiny with a lift, but the expansion walls were interior, leaving much opportunity for leaks. Love that this one slides on the exterior. Technology and engineering continue to improve. I’m definitely interested to see this company continue to grow and innovate. Loved the smart meter they mentioned…I’d be interested in that when I find property.

I have a disability, and this is the first idea for a -transportable- Tiny Home that I have found with a usable upstairs for me. This completely changes the game in Accessibility if we really mean Tiny Homes to be about affordable housing- which is a big deal across the diverse disability community. I’m EXTREMELY excited to see Wilderwise go into mass production/customer delivery (because the whole concept and the ethos of the company/family model seems to be a great combination for a spot in this business. I also hope for success with the Wilderwise models, because I think they will get out in the public, do well, because appreciated and sought after, and hopefully that will increase funding so that this very innovative woman, her partner, family, and co. Can offer personal disability customizations on their models - or just increased foot-print accessibility etc. as I truly feel this company has the innovation and style to present affordable housing to a wide range of communities- including one that is very difficult to reach in this industry

Im also interested in solar panels and rainwater harvesting. I live in Italy, but may be moving back to California to be close to family again so as an ADU on my Dad's property and with the modular concept, well, it's an absolutely winning engineering plus!!

@@WilderwiseHomes welp, I just replied ‘Slideouts’, but immediately saw where ya beat me to it! Fantastic ideas, great execution. I love the entire THOW. I have land, but an old home that’s no longer habitable & cost of repairs would buy 2 new Tiny Homes. You need to plan a tour to North Carolina. We are tiny home friendly & communities have been developed around them already. Not sure myself yet about community living (Too much a rebel for HOAs🤣), It is STILL perfect solution for someone like me - single/widowed and wanting to still stay on my property. Heck, 12 acres can hold a few Tiny Homes- maybe to showcase? 🤔Please hurry, this 1998 Class A - intended as a temp solution - is really getting old!

This is a BRILLIANT addition to the tiny design collection! I absolutely love the versatility this design offers. From the lighter weight aluminum framing, to the break-down of each module, allowing it to fit thru the common 5 ft. easements of many residential city lots! Amazing foresight. Woman after my own heart! I LOVE convertible, multi-use design features. And to have it built into a tiny house on wheels is a real GAME CHANGER! Sure, it's not especially cozy looking, but perhaps buyers can customize those aspects of the design, and make it fit their particular, more homey design preferences. All the other major benefits offered here, including the abundance of storage, provide a foundation from which to refine and customize to one's own tastes. Bravo for this great concept! I don't know if I could ever afford this, but I'm saving it in my 'Best Design Ideas' folder, for possible builders for my own, hoped-for, tiny home. Thanks to all involved in this innovative creation! 🌞☮🌟

I’d be a little concerned about the “lightweight” aspect. It’s a beautiful home, but being from the South, I worry about it withstanding weather, such as high winds, etc. I worry about it leaking from where the top expands.Can you use the loft without it being expanded? It’s definitely adorable.💗

[@WilderwiseHomes]

We’ve experienced 50mph+ crosswinds with no issue. This is with the roof raised and without any tie downs. We haven’t had an opportunity to test it in higher winds yet. If you are concerned about highly destructive storm winds, there are several steps you can take: 1. Use stakes and tie downs to secure the home to the ground. There are multiple lashing points along the trailer and frame. 2. Lower the roof for the storm. This will decrease the height by 3.5 ft. 3. If you have the chance to, the home can be towed to a safer location for the duration of the storm! Here are some other safety considerations regarding wind: -More than 70% of the weight of the home is in the bottom half, with the majority being in or directly on top of the trailer. Since it is bottom heavy, it is much less likely to be affected by wind. -Yes, our home is lightweight compared to other tiny homes, but it still weighs 9,000 lb and can be loaded up to 14K lb with solar panels, personal belongings, water, etc. We use several custom-designed seals to fill the gap between the upper and lower walls. These seals prevent air flow, as well as particulates from entering the home! We have not noticed any draftiness so far. The upstairs area is not very usable with the roof lowered since the space gets filled with the lower cabinets that move out of the way for travel. The bed can be accessed and slept in, but it is quite tight!

Love the telescoping roof and the modular/ almost "flat-pack" aspect. The kitchen space does seem to be a bit constricted, but I'm sure that could be rearranged/reconfigured to some degree. My concern is the durability of the aluminum, and the lifetime of the actuator/lifting mechanism.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Glad you love our concept. There are definitely some improvements we are working on. The kitchen is actually much more spacious in person than it appears in this video but changes could still be made! Aluminum is a very durable metal - it doesn't rust like steel does and is used to build airplanes! Our founding engineer (RIP) helped design the Boeing 737. The actuator has a 20+ year lifespan and is designed for multiple cycles per day. The gas springs are designed for 50K-100K cycles in their lifetime. No customer will ever lift and lower the roof that many times so we are confident in the mechanics!

[@lel7841]

Wonder how maintenance could be done if there is an issue. Also how various environments would affect (ex. Salt water, high humidity, desert, etc). Plus how would natural disasters like tornadoes/ earthquakes affect the 2nd floor. Really cool design though and makes me think about all sorts of possibilities

[@WilderwiseHomes]

@@lel7841 We will have our own maintenance team and will be working with local contractors that will have knowledge of the system. That way, you will have no issue in finding help if anything needs to be fixed. We don't imagine that various climates would have an impact on the roof lifting system, since all of the components are protected inside the home. Higher magnitude earthquakes could be an issue, especially if they are damaging other property (but this is a given). You can protect against hurricanes/tornadoes/high winds by taking the following steps: 1. Use stakes and tie downs to secure the home to the ground. There are multiple lashing points along the trailer and frame. 2. Lower the roof for the storm. This will decrease the height by 3.5 ft. 3.

[@sandralnwebster3204]

Looks good for travelling and seeing the country. When you want a permanent spot I think your tiny could have a bigger footprint. It would be great if the width was increased by two feet and there was a closet in the entry. The kitchen sink should be larger and the cupboards over- head could be replaced by shelving to give a roomier feel. I think you have a great idea with your raised roof!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you, glad you love the concept! Yes, if you plan to park permanently and have the space for it, a longer trailer would be worthwhile. However, some smaller lots may not be able to accommodate a larger footprint, which is where this model has its greatest benefits. We will eventually offer larger sizes (width and length) as well! Adding a larger sink and changing the cabinetry are simple changes that we can incorporate upon request.

[@dnllmaurer1]

Absolutely brilliant design! I've seen a few TH with standing loft height. Most popular is on a step up trailer, bedroom is mid level with a few steps up. Another has standing space along the bed side. Space is gained by lowering part of the ceiling below. Others had DIY extensions like an expandable RV. The light weight aluminum frame will enable owners to relocate themselves & save fees. A modular system that can be reconfigured like legos will overcome many limitations. The insight of your TH desgn aligns with Tesla's automated driving vehicles. It's pure genius! Thank you for sharing! Wishing you success & abundant Blessings!

Thank you! We've determined that to operate the roof up/down, there can be a maximum of 6 PSF of snow on the roof. However, we are still working out the final numbers for in its lifted position (which is more relevant for common use). With the lower cabinets, caps on the gas springs, and option for additional beams to be placed when lifted, our goal is to have a snow load capacity of 30-40 PSF. This model has an average of R-24 in insulation and we can add additional insulation if you plan to be in more extreme climates. We will be incorporating vents/fans in the 1st floor ceiling to better transfer air between both levels and will have the option to incorporate a second mini-split upstairs.

Congratulations this tiny home is extraordinary I've never seen anything like it 👏🏾

[@WilderwiseHomes]

It is the first of its kind. So glad you love it!

[@cruxandbeta]

Just saw this one at the Colorado tiny house festival this weekend that WE WERE IN! Our first show showing off our van. Missed you guys. This house was super rad in the idea of how it’s expandable in the same footprint. We also went and played disc golf with Lawrence and Arya!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

We had a blast hanging out with you two! Can't wait until we meet again on the road.

[@michellestratford9753]

This is incredible!! I'm absolutely gobsmacked!! 💖❤️🚙🇨🇦

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you!!

[@riverportcat5808]

Wow , a beautiful home for under 100,000. This is what the tiny house industry has been waiting for, a way to enjoy the loft. Indeed, now an opportunity for a second floor. I would stylized the roof a little more aerodynamically. Great job! Everything a full house has and more. The ability to have choices in life.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thanks so much - glad you like it! We will be constantly improving the design as time goes on. Model #2 already has lots of upgrades!

[@Mevtmanyhiia]

We waited in line to see the tiny house in Jan during the Tiny House Show in PHX, AZ! I thought it was a beautiful home. It was very space conscious and the layout was delightful! I was especially impressed by the way the second story was able to be compacted. I love the idea of non-stationary furniture to help accomplish this as well. As a clutterbug, it also would force me to keep a tidier area 😂

[@WilderwiseHomes]

So glad you were able to see the home in person and thought the line was worth the wait! :)

[@BjBaloran]

This video made me missed my dad. 🥺🥺🥺 He’s my angel now.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

RIP! We are very grateful for dad being around to help with this project.

[@HighIQRob]

nice design, i came up with something similar in my head. the actuators are nice but seeing them exposed is a concern, same with the controls, too easy to brush by accident. also a failure with the actuators could be a catastrophe if they are all that is holding the roof up. big liability there.. my design i came up with uses a car jack to lift the roof which is then bolted into place to secure the load. also if your doing a raising roof why not expanding walls! go big or go home! great design i love the innovations :)

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Like the way you think! We thinks they plan to cover up the mechanics more in the next iteration of this design 😊✨🍻

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you! The actuator and gas springs will be enclosed for customer models. It is nice to have them exposed in the show model so people can see how the system works. The control knob is exposed but the actuator has to be plugged in manually before each use. It is never plugged in when we are living in the home so there is no risk of brushing the knob and activating the system! The actuator has a 20+ year lifespan and is designed for multiple cycles per day. Gas springs are designed for 50K-100K cycles in their lifetime. No customer will ever lift and lower the roof that many times so we are confident in the mechanics. There are also multiple fail safes such as lock pins, the lower cabinets, and the option to include additional stabilizing bars around the edges when parked. We have plans to incorporate modular slide-outs! These are in the design phase and will be available as an option likely next year. Since they are modular, they can be purchased after-the-fact and installed on any model!

[@Akaempres1]

Omg this is AMAZING!! I LOVE IT!!, JUST what I'm looking for !!

[@3gmom408]

This is by far the best tiny house I have seen ! I love the height of this tiny house. Brilliant design !

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you so much!

[@OfficialDivineUnique]

I LOVE THE ENGINEERING ON THIS TINY HOME! VERY VERY VERY UNIQUE.

[@saddlebags37]

I love this tiny, everything about it. I could totally live in a house like this.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you, glad you love it. Let us know if you want us to build you one!

[@itbcomingaroundthemountain]

A lot of potential here for sure & I could see them doing different models with different layouts and designs as well. For me personally, I would like a trailer that is a little bit longer just for more space and comfort, but this is a good and unique starting point. Great job!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thanks! New models coming in the future :)

[@carmelmurray3203]

Love this invention...and lay out..brilliant idea xx

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thanks so much!

[@jennywalker7173]

I LOVE THE FAMILY 🤍 your guys are such a cool family! I love this, I hope you come to Washington for a show

[@WilderwiseHomes]

We hope to make it up to Washington next year! It is such a beautiful state. And thank you for the kind words. We love working with family :)

[@T_P_W_ThachoZenjuan]

I love, love, LOVE that it's modular.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you! Modularity can solve so many problems.

[@wanderingrenegade771]

Ty for adapting the concept of a lifting roof to tiny home. Ty for starting the process of Airbnb smart technology for those who need to relocate easier. My hope is secure connection internet would be available for remote working who need this as well.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

❤️ and yes internet as a great searchable feature on their future app!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

You're welcome! And thank you for appreciating what we are doing :)

[@Ciciye12]

This is a wonderful idea, well done all!

[@mjones7619]

beautiful design. The fact that the roof raises to allow extra space in the top is amazing. I wish this was a little more spacious. The entrance looks smaller compared to some of the other tiny homes I have seen.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

This tiny home is only 21 feet long, which is smaller than many you've probably seen. It is also only 8 ft wide at the bottom since the moving roof section is 8.5 ft (widest for freeway travel without permits). The model feels more spacious in person than in this video. Longer models will be even more spacious!

[@susanpratt3290]

That is awesome. They took the slide out technology and made slide Up technology, so people don't have to crawl around the loft, and can actually stand up, and you don't have to have your mattress on the floor and have a frame for it. It looks so modern and love it. I don't mind upstairs with stairs versus a ladder, and you don't have to crawl around.

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Such a luxury to stand in a tiny house bedroom!

[@susanpratt3290]

@@TinyHouseExpedition, it is such a luxury to stand up in a loft in a Tiny House.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Glad you love what we are doing! We agree that it is a much needed innovation in tiny house design.

[@kel7484]

P.S....in the extended living room wall Id place a small pellet/wood burning fireplace/heater. Id reduce the size of the second extra upstairs room and use railing open to below giving living room high ceiling effect....already thinking about you as my future builder🤔😊👍

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Interesting ideas! Send us a message when you are ready to start building!

[@AndreaSimone57]

I saw ITH if east Tennessee do a tiny with a roof that can be raised but I never heard what happened when it after the customer took it. This is the 1st I've seen someone apply that same idea in a more functional way. So cool

[@TinyHouseExpedition]

Thanks for sharing about 😊✨

[@WilderwiseHomes]

We'd love to check out the one that ITH built! Ours is definitely designed to function on a regular basis, with a focus on being user friendly. Glad you like it!

[@ingridstanway8874]

Now this is impressive! The thought and engineering is truly spectacular! Kudos to Wilderwise family!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you so much!

[@janestabler6222]

Really like the upper space !!!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you! The upstairs is our favorite place to hang out in the house!

[@Johanne001]

Love the second floor!! May your company grow substantially. There are just too many applications for tiny homes and now especially with the awesome addition of all the extra space you offer.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thanks for the kind words and well wishes. Glad you love our design!

[@jessiepapabear4272]

I love this channel and how you keep finding new and awesome tiny homes and ideas. Thank you

[@WilderwiseHomes]

The people behind Tiny House Expedition are amazing! We're honored that they took the time to tell our story.

[@charlstheman7951]

Truly one of the best designs

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you so much! It's been several years in the making.

[@FinnDelMundoTravel]

Love the concept from the outside. My concern is the claustrophobic interior. It’s got that whole corridor effect going on. That piece that juts out in a major thoroughfare will be a hazard for head injuries over time. Exciting to see this type of innovation - great work in pushing the limits 👌

[@WilderwiseHomes]

In all honesty, it does not feel claustrophobic in person. I think the wide angle lens used for this video has that effect. The actuator box has 6 ft of headroom underneath it. We have options to redesign the system, but other iterations would add weight and cost to the build. There's always a possibility though and we are committed to improving the design over time!

[@stephenschuit7880]

Interesting and impressive. Most creative idea in Tiny Homes that I have seen in some time.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thanks so much!

[@riogrande5761]

To really maximize the lifting roof design, I'd have the entire bottom level go out to the edge rather than have a porch/overhang. It would make that downstairs living space that much bigger.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

We will have this as an option for customers!

[@r.c.7762]

Fabulous! What a smart idea, with all the tech, and Engineering, and just beautiful. I am impressed. Thank you.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Much appreciated! Glad you like it :)

[@HAL-2023]

#1 AMAZING! You have really taken potential tiny home owners concerns and listened to their needs. #2 Would you be able to make this unit in a 10 foot wide version. Everything I have heard is that is the standard deck width allowing for much easier transportation due to the chassis size. #3 Can you customize any of the cabinets. I noticed both of you having your foreheads practically on the cupboards when cooking. I would like to see higher/cutout cabinets and a outside vented range hood and more prep surface area as the trade off. #4 That low hanging actuator control unit would have to go. I can see concussions in my future LOL!! Any chance of making that more streamlined? #5 Looking for any sales people/tradesman? Love it!!!

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you! We do have plans to build a 10 ft wide model in the future, but the wider version would not necessarily be easier to transport. Anything wider than 8.5 ft wide requires a wide load permit, so it would not be something you'd be taking with you like an RV. Typically, 10 ft wide models are transported to their location and kept there permanently. Yes, the cabinets can be customized to a certain extent! We've been living in the home and never felt like the kitchen was cramped. I do see now that the video makes it look like our foreheads are almost hitting the cabinets, but it has never felt that way in person. In any case, they can be modified to be higher and with a range hood. The actuator box has 6 ft of headroom below it. This is the simplest and most inexpensive way to design the lifting roof system. Other designs are possible but require more motors, which add to weight and cost. Anything is possible though! We'll keep improving the system over time. Yes, we will be hiring this year!

[@helenvanbockern5843]

I am so excited for your successful future in tiny homes what a wonderful ambitious project you are the light in the darkness. I so thankful for this video .I have similar ideas for my back yard to create tiny house living in my forest off the ground houses keeping forest as natural as possible up to 4 tiny homes near bus routes and shopping, pet friendly. Very limited parking best suited for non drivers . I love your energy so up lifting thank you

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thanks so much for the kind words! :)

[@lukaduka21]

Brilliant. Yes. This is an amazing idea. The small lifts have been my disappointment in past. And this solves that. Great job.

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you so much! Glad you love what we are doing.

[@amyhurley5670]

Great concept...in the 80's early 90's my parents hauled a HI-Lo camper that had the same type of roof lift.....it was easy and spacious.. good luck with your sales..I am sure you will have great success...

[@WilderwiseHomes]

Thank you so much!

[@ReeseRyanWrites]

This is so exciting. I’m so impressed with what Arya and her family have done. I look forward to seeing further developments.
