Almost every time I see a really compelling tiny home, it is one of yours. Please continue making beautiful dreams.
I miss the original Fortune Cookie and dear Kera. This tiny home was the reason I fell in love with tiny homes. I'm happy to say I've been able to visit Kera in the Fortune Cookie!
Super cool. An old friend built a similar twin axle tiny house. He recycled the frame & made it the shape of a horseshoe. He built it similar to a boat in that each bulkhead worked as ribs. Outside rib frame are screwed half inch by 4" cedar tongue & groove. Hot water pipe coiled round stove runs on wood pellets coal or firewood. Potty-digester-tank=Methane runs cook range. Quite ingenious really. He lived in it for the 20y I knew him. Shower was outside plumbed to hot water. Most materials were recycled. He was a crackerjack roofer. Nov10 2019
This is one of those exceptions where I like the exterior better. It's beautiful and whimsical. Inside is a bit stark compared to other vardos I've seen.
Love your houses in the cart wheel at the end was adorable. 💕
Whimsical and magical🤩
Impressive, I can't find words to describe how impressed I am
Yes this is one of my favorite designs.
I love your homes so much.
I seen a gothic style one that I absolutely fell in love with!!
I'm saving for one.
I'm so happy for our kin folk that live in one of your "tiny living nests!" They must really feel like their home is alive...most all are named.
For one person, that house is perfect! Congrats!
Beautiful as always. The craftsmanship is topnotch. Looking forward to seeing more whimsical designs
Oh!!! I so want to live in one of your magical tiny homes!
Hi there, Mr. Zyl, This is Chaula Trivedi, an architect from India. I have completed Masters in Sustainable Architecture recently. The interesting fact is while I was looking for a thesis project online, I bumped into the TINY HOUSE MOVEMENT. And obviously bumped into the youtube video of yours The Fortune Cookie. Well I think becoming an architect who implements sustainability principles is the best option. Zyl, people hardly have money to spend on their dream house. In that situation if I ask them to install a solar panel they will never agree. Rather if I design a small comfy home for 4 for the client in the city, they will be much happier and satisfied with the home. I think Architecture is the only CREATIVE ART WHICH HAS A STORY TO TELL AFTER THE PEOPLE GE5 TO RESIDE IN IT. I WANT IT TO BE A GOOD EXPERIENCE FOR A LIFETIME HENCE I WANT TO LEARN EACH ABD EVERYTHING ABOUT TINY HOUSES. THANKS AND REGADS, AR. CHAULA.
Thanks for writing!
Thanks, looking forward to retiring next year and moving back to the Northwest and start building my own Tiny House.
Abel your work is truly magical and takes my breath away. My wife and I are considering a tiny for our family I only wish I had your creativity and skill.
Fabulous intro,!!! Love it.
Awesome another masterpiece, Thank You 🙏!!
I have been looking at tiny house for years! The building quality of yours is absolutely amazing... from my heart to my head into your designs... 💕💕💕👀🥂
Aw, thanks!
Oh it’s beautiful😍, that window is so creative!, you are very talented ✌🏻
Fantastic!
Zyl ... so anxious for your new designs .......
Your videos are so soothing. What you make is so beautiful.
Very nicely done. Inspires many ideas!
Beautiful
I'm still in awe of your skills Abel! The Fortune Cookie is a great! I'm always going to treasure the time shared with you at the Tiny House Living Festival! I'm looking forward to sharing with you my Pirate Ship Tiny House when it's built! Ciao!
Thanks!
I love your designs!
My dreamed-of house made real! Wow!
Booful. Well done. Cookiehouses, vdo and all luvit. Thx ♥♥
I love all your designs. Your by far the most original.
Thanks!
It's beautiful this tiny house
This is pretty awesome you do really spectacular job
Lovely cozy home. ✌🏼
This was the first tiny house I ever saw online a few years ago when I found Kiera (spelled?) on Etsy. . Fell in love with it, though my son and I need something a bit bigger. Planning and dreaming. 💜
the ark tiny house might be good 4 u.
Still amazing :)
Cool house :)
Nice
Zyl, your builds are amazing. I am currently working on ideas to build out my 2017 Nissan NV2500 van. You are providing inspiration.
Sweet. Hope your build goes awesome!
I love the whimsical touch, but still remain the functionality.
Love this design :)
fabulous job well done mate from Australia lol
I’m so in love with all of your designs & your homes 🏠 ❤️❤️❤️ I just wish by broke 25 yr old butt could afford one 😢😢😢 but anyways AMAZING BUILD!
Thx! I know huh. I can't even afford one of my own builds right now... maybe someday.
These truly are tiny. Beautiful concepts. I'm a big person, I'm over six foot and a bit over 200#. I'm not sure I'd fit!
That one is pretty compact. However, we build several others that are comfortable for 6' and over.
WOW! I just heard of you tonight from on CZcams and found your website. I am just now starting to plan for my retirement in 7 years, I'll be 62, so it won't be much. I am trying to make up mine mine between tiny house or van dwelling and while I travel. Your home's are the most beautiful I've ever seen. Thank you!
Your head must be full of wonderful creations waiting to come to life. So far the Damselfly is my favorite but I love the creative woodworking in all I've seen. The only issue I would have is with the semi transparent bathroom doors.
You can see absolutely nothing through the heavily frosted door... however, it is usually not an issue with folks who live in such close quarters. You just get a little more laid back about 'potty stuff'. Haha.
Zyl V, (if I may be so informal here)
ZV let me say I appreciate your manner of showing the home as if I was operating the camera and how little you would place yourself in the view. Also your ability to understand that opening every cabinet or cupboard and drawer is overkill for the majority of us know what is the function and the general manner in how they operate using hinges and slide mechanisms. I was thinking prior to your turning the valve on the sink, "is the cookie on shore water?" Still you decided to not turn the shower on and that was probably best. Nice design inside and out though my discomfort in tight spaces would not allow me to be sleeping above. (that'd be storage or guest berth)
So very charming ! Too small for my comfort, but I like how real furniture was used in here, rather than same old box couch. All your designs are wonderful !
I had nothing to do with the furnishings here... just filmed it like it was! The owner's son is living there while he is in college. Hence the awesome gaming setup.
It is so relaxing watching your videos. You have elfin in you with Italian? This shape is really unique. Great choice. Very soothing. I like your rounded window(s), sound structure. What patience you possess. All from drawing (s), shop work. In Canada our summer's are too short and thank God for a long autumn so you can live in the great outdoors (nature) and be one with tiny houses like this with a small fireplace is a necessity here. Congrats.
Thank you! I am not Italian... rather: French/Norwegian (and my grandparents came to the US from Trois Rivieres in Canada)
Beautiful. How much does this run?
That intro, I thought it's another ASMR video.
Hilarious, yes!
Thomas Levy Your funny
Its a beautiful exterior home. Gives me Gypsy vibes. But I belive the interior space design could have been better utilized. But non the less it is a beautiful work of art. Love the architecture
this is yje coolest tiny I'veever seen! is the loft, or downstairs big enough to hold a queen-size bed? can you add stairs to the loft?I am disabled and can't do ladders, or is there another house you'd recommend?, thanks!
It is indeed queen size in the loft. I have done longer Fortune Cookie houses... and it would be no problem to put a bedroom downstairs.
My sister’s dream home 🏡 💖
Hello Leezabella
Aesthetically it is beautiful. What I fail to understand is why anyone would pay this much for so little when they could just as easily buy a camper for a fraction of the price and not feel like they are sleeping in a coffin.
Campers are indeed less money. But they are not usually designed to function year round, especially in a cold climate. Also, campers quickly deteriorate under full time living. The tiny house is built to last, and be easily maintained. I engineer them to last 50 years or more. Which is better than a lot of residential houses these days!
🍀👍🍀😊
Put an actual picture frame as the door to the electrical panel. Slip in a photograph. Have a nice decoration on the wall & disguise the panel door.😊
Beautiful,however i prefer stairs...❤
Hello Emmarose
i will take one...
Does the cookie have a toilet & shower?
Yes indeed.
How tall are you? I'm 6'5 and looking into tiny homes, would be nice to have some size context.
BTW your website here isn't right, still leads to zyltinyhomes instead of zylvardos.
I am 5' 9.5"
👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌
Hi there, This is Chaula, an architect from India. Do you hire interns for a year to know the making of a tiny house? Do you have videos or a book explaining the step by step method to build a tiny house?
I have had interns around at times. Sometimes I am too busy, or off on another project to bring new people around... but drop me a line and we can talk.
@@ZylTinyHomes Hi there! May I have your personal email address to drop in a line.
May I know when is the best time to contact you? I am interested to work as an apprentice under you. Hence asked for your contact details.
Contact me via my website: www.zylvardos.com
very cute but too tiny for me!
Luv it but no sink in bathroom to wash ur hands.
Many of our tiny houses have sinks in the bathrooms. It is an option in the smaller ones. Honestly, I'd have a sink in my own bathroom... even if very small.
Washing clothes?
No W/D in this one, it is a very compact floorplan... but many of my designs have had laundry machines.
Wash by hand, especially if it's a solo person or a couple living there. :) Dry on wire with clothespin in yard space :)
