    This is genius. Plenty of storage and access under the beds.
    Thinking could use as a greenhouse or a playhouse
    I would only add curtains at the crossover members that would be stored wrapped around the outer uprights and I think I would put that outer bed on locking wheels and create a rotating lip to bring that bed outside as a bench when entertaining but I suppose it could be lifted and set out just as well.
    Absolutely brilliant ❤️
    Thank you so much for sharing 🤗

    it's a cabin in the woods, a frame style, why the harsh comments. I could see doing this on a 10'w x 12' or 14' deep with insulation and a wood stove for heat and water warming, shower at the YMCA.

    It would be really nice to implement a traditional Japanese style living space into this with tatami and a fold-up shikibuton for bedding. A desk could be built into one side to create a fully functional house. The beds take up way too much area in this design, but the structure itself is cozy and very nicely done.

    • @genkiferal7178
      @genkiferal7178 Před rokem

      that's a pain in the butt to air out and store. I am using a 6" high-density foam mattress now for 6 months, and while I don't completely regret it, I still have to let it air out on its side for a few hours and roll up the bedding - after airing that out separately on two heavy duty hooks over the door.
      If I had my own place, a foam mattress with a murphy bed would be easier - still allowing it to air out, though, before putting it away. The cotton of Japanese futon mattresses is nontoxic and environmentally-friendly, but won't last nearly as long as foam. Foam can last decades and can be replaced separately or even laundered.

    • @ZeoCyberG
      @ZeoCyberG Před 6 lety +3

      The original plans have a price breakdown for what it would cost to build for most... They did it for less because they had materials on hand and made changes to the plans to work with the materials they had instead of having to buy it all... But that's unique to them and it's not like you can easily line itemize everything when you're improvising and not everything you're using has a set price.

    because an A-frame's side(s) are so step, for solar panels and passive heating, would a saltbox with a sliding glass door and the rest with solar panels be the best way for energy?
    NEVER build on the ground if the structure is light-weight enough to avoid that. Moisture and bugs attack your house close to the ground. I've seen quite a few old tiny buildings built a century or more ago that are built 2.5 to 3' off the ground and have tin roofs. If they'd been built close to the ground or if they had shrubbery close to the walls outside, moisture and bugs would've destroyed the wood.

    This is an awesome addition to a property. Also, a great minimalist weekend getaway option. Most of my weekends are spent in a Tent, so this is a definite step up! The outhouse extension makes it practical/comfortable for longer stays. In response to the comment below stating that "this is not a house". It was not intended to be a "Home", the title clearly states it as a "getaway". If you are looking to buy a "Home" for $700.00 you are in a lot more of a bind, than requiring a kitchen or insulation. Great job THL on the design and kudos to Deek for making it happen @ a $700.00 price point. (The future is bright :)
