  • The Damselfly is a ravishing one-off design - and the latest creation from the hands of tiny house wizard Abel Zimmerman Zyl. It is roomy inside, and a perfect meld of artistry and function. See its handcrafted windows, sculpted roofline, and stunning kitchen... all in 4k UHD!

    I love this tiny house and all the great storage ideas you've incorporated inside. However, the most noticeable factor in the video that stood out to me was how nice it was to tour the house with only a simple musical background. Sure, the explanations and verbally guided tours are nice, but after watching so many here on CZcams, it was really refreshing to be able to just WATCH the tour. Thanks for the upload and great work!

      And for deaf / hearing impaired. U dont have captions blocking everything....or watch a mouth flap on a face in front of everything u need to see , especially when the idiot stands in front of camera for 5 solid eternal minutes and the mouth moves and. No captions at all
      Kudos to u !!!
      Great ability to Show it, yet when captions are needed they're there.

      Zyl Vardos This is quite possibly the most beautiful house I've seen, tiny or large! As a veteran in a wheelchair, I really appreciate the fact that you made it so accessible. I hope to be able to save enough money for a down payment on a house like this. Since I'm a widow and my youngest has moved out and only comes home from college on school breaks, a tiny house would fit my lifestyle perfectly! Good job, and thanks for the video, I'm impressed!

      You get what you pay four and you should read between the lines. Some of the more inexpensive homes are starting to voice complaints. You never have a 90 day guarantee on a home. There have been problems and too much advertising of Airbnb. and rentals I would want to find a live next to one when I was expecting a community.

    That is absolutely my favorite design of ALL the many tiny house videos i have ever seen. It´s so spacious, even when you can sleep downstairs. The kitchen feels so open and spacious and there is so much storage. The only thing i would change is the 3 holes in all the cupboards. I would love to live in that house.

    The subtle curves on the outside and fashion simplicity inside is outstanding. The Damselfly would blend into nature very easily yet standout enough for people to notice. Although I was a little shocked at the shower. I was expecting something very different. Stone floor with an above head shower. On the other hand, maybe a hot tub ...maybe not. I also like the way you engage with the subscribers. Great job all around Zyl.

    A beautiful design filled with high end touches. I missed any consideration about where to eat though. I would also want the underbed storage to have sliding shelves for easier access. The roofline is especially unique and lovely.
