    Simple elogant ,incognito .ergonomically sound functional .wonderful use of space tailor made ,space is space it does not discriminate between garage or shed, utilise or improvise.well design serves its purpose..

    One thing that always seems to get me. With american tiny houses and space efficient videos they most annoying parts are when they focus too much on the detailed craftsmanship. Almost all the foreign ones I see seem to annoyingly focus on the artsyness and existential nature of the design (almost always at the cost of practicality and functionality).

    I honestly feel that u can cut corners anywhere but should never on a bedroom/sleeping place. U need a comfortable place to sleep as its important to relax and gain back energy after a tiring day and a good comfortable sleep is very important for good health. If anyone says otherwise obviously never thought about comfort and practicality.

  • @INCBMX

    Nice design but you can't do this in the USA because you'll get fined heavily and they'll consider it illegal

    • @clam38star

    • @INCBMX
      @INCBMX Před 6 lety +19

      Seiza Yuki you can't take a place for car parking and just convert it into housing. There are housing rules and regulations for what is and isn't a home/living space. These rules and regulations are part of the problem on why we have a housing crisis because if it was easy to covert garages into homes; more ppl would do it resulting in affordable homes. An example of this is if I had a house on a .25 of an acre and had a 2. Car garage that I wanted to convert to a tiny house or have my in laws live in, I would have to consult with my city/town to have they send out someone to make sure everything is up to living standards and fit for full time living. Also convert my garage to a tiny house would come at a high cost once the conversion is done and up to my city/town code of living.

      In CA you can get permit to make garage into a liveable space. Not Sure of other states though.

    • @INCBMX
      @INCBMX Před 6 lety

      Blab Blah I believe states like CA have a major problem on their hands so legislation has come up with ideas to solve their problems. Don't quote me but I thought San Diego and southern CA are the most heavily dense places in America

    Why would he make a house from garage? I mean, he can make a tiny cubicle house from scratch. Maybe it will become a tiny apartment building complex..?

    • @holmarunter3918
      @holmarunter3918 Před 6 lety +10

      Seiza Yuki there are plenty of advantages. Cheap, no need for heating, pipes are already installed... as he said its very economically

      @giada1248 Před 6 lety +1

      Buying a garage is way cheaper than buying an apartment in Bologna (in all Italian cities actually. So making the renovation of that place probably costed him just €20-30000 tops while doing the same in an apartment (where are not many structural changes allowed) would probably have costed him six or seven times more.

    I don't know what it is about fashion, but I would never live in a place with those kinda stairs. Looking good doesn't always means right, especially if your used to the old ways. I mean, can you imagine being drunk one night and falling? Or maybe you just got out of bed and are some what of a heavy sleeper.

    There's a lot of wasted space here, so much so, that he didn't need the loft bed!

    • @jordanm.6328
      @jordanm.6328 Před 6 lety +2

      Every space can be occupied one way or another,think about a dance space,installing a ping ball table etc

    • @harley69210
      @harley69210 Před 6 lety +23

      Someone didn't watch the video. The "wasted" space was a design choice, as was the loft.

    • @brownekat
      @brownekat Před 6 lety +1

      I don"t think it was good use of the space. He could have easily gained more floor space if he had moved the bathroom/loft to one side of the room, if floor space was his goal.

    • @harley69210
      @harley69210 Před 6 lety +16

      But if it was off to a side of the room, he wouldn't get his desired design which was for the black box to modulate the floor space - basically it's helping to break up the space without interrupting flow.

    • @brownekat
      @brownekat Před 6 lety +4

      I just don't think the space was utilized properly. He said it himself, that he wanted an open space, putting a big black box in the middle of the room does not convey "open" or airy to me. It feels constricting.

    • @mrblaoblao6981
      @mrblaoblao6981 Před 6 lety +2

      H Gya Yes, I think I get your point, because there’s no wall separation with the kitchen either, and this is a problem for people that cook often (like me) because the bed clothes would smell like food. Not to mention if some strong smell comes from the bathroom (I also wonder if you can hear somebody peeing or pooping from upstairs) xD All these things aside, the whole idea is great, I really like the minimalist decoration and concept. It gave me some ideas for my apt, cheers
