I truly admire him. We live in a word where all some people do is pay bills. I know for me, I'm tired of it!!! I truly hope to be happy in a tiny home some day.
He needs a folding door for the bathroom, so that nobody hears the noises!!! And Bryce was taken aback!! A bit embarrassed too!! Hilarious statement and a cute reaction!!🤩🤩
+MakeMeThinkAgain . I agree. Those extra few inches on top makes all the difference in the bedroom. And the air flow description was very interesting, especially when it saved him having to install a fan.
@1234 BIPV fills that need on this Roof. It's going to cost a bit more but there's no Panels exposed to potential wind hazard when driving down the road.
I'm so glad to see that after two years this tiny house is still working for Brett. This is easily my favorite tiny house, every time I start drawing up new plans for my own I go back to Brett's design as a baseline. Great work Brett!!!
I feel the same. I always tought I would go for a more dollhouse-like design, but every time I see this I think: Yes, this is the kind of tiny house I want.
One of my favorite tiny homes ! As soon as I saw the original video, I started designing my home, based on your design, tweaking it a bit for my own personal preferences. Mine will have a bath laundry combo space under the loft. same desk space with TV/ computer monitor on wall above. A couch across from desk. Kitchen at end with sliding glass doors or outward opening french doors, on wall in between kitchen and desk.
Brett's tiny home is by far the best design I've seen, simple open and easy to build. The cross ventilation upstairs is a must have, plus easy access to the solar panels.
OH I Just found this one (I ha\/en't e\/en seen it yet. BTW My "\/" doesn't work! LOL I'm trying. I can't cut and paste on this one. The EXACT name of \/ideo is: Amazing DIY Off-Grid Modern Tiny House - Mo\/ed In (with YOUR \/ of course) . Starts with them hauling the tiny down the road. I sure hope you contact me. "cause there a lot that I did keep track of that you might like!
@@Renelephant That is actually the 2nd video about Brett's tiny home that you're speaking of. ( towing it to this property ) The original video before it, is even better, where Brett explained how he got a lot of the materials & items he used for this awesome home. Many details are discussed in the very first video I'm talking about. It's a must-see. The BEST designed tiny home of them all, in my opinion. The roof design that allows far more head room and air movement, and allows for that awesome staircase ( instead of those terrible ladders ), the bathroom, kitchen, desk & fold down table both hiding the fender wells to the wheels.....I WILL be building one exactly like it within the next 7 to 10 years........perhaps sooner. And this design is actually one of the cheaper designs too........yet it blows the rest out of the water for practicality and open-air space!!!
@@user-zo3lp2dg6h Guess you've found it by now but for clarification.. 1. Amazing DIY Off-Grid Modern Tiny House (Feb 2014) 2. Amazing DIY Off-Grid Modern House - Moved In (March 2014) 3. The above, 2yrs on...
I've noticed how almost everyone interviewed goes barefoot. That's great...ground with mother earth. Bryce, I love that you interview people living in these tiny houses. You make it personal and personable. Thanks for all you are and do. It's perfect!
the overall design of this trailer/ tiny home is the best I've seen so far and I've seen several hundred... I've been looking at them seriously for several years to find something that will work for me..
So glad for a revisit of this tiny house. It is one of my all time favorite designs. The loft is the best ever. If I were cuddling on that couch, I would side that arm chair over and use it as a foot stool. ❤
Did you build, your home ? It's beautiful. Wondering, what size is your home.. is it mobile? I'm considering a home but leaning toward a box truck. I Like the mobility.
I love when Bryce really tries to take us beyond the superficial. "For Brett, this space isn't just a home. It's also freedom and it really is the opportunity for him to live a larger life." 🥺❤
I so love Brett's philosophy of having a few things that really serve one's few vital needs well, rather than a bunch of things that serve them in mediocre fashion or not at all. I think it is from this that his sense of freedom is derived. It's how he keeps his expenses down, and that frees up so many resources, mental and financial, that would normally go to "chasing money," as he put it in a previous video. These follow-up videos are a terrific idea. One question: How goes the build on your tiny house project?
+Robert Donovan Exactly, I'm wondering about exactly the same thing. Can't wait untill it's finally ready and hoping he'll share his project with us too :) Unless he changed plans and not building it anymore since he broke up with his gf? If not, some update on the progress would so great but it might be also that he's just waiting untill it's fully shiny spotless & ready to then reveal its magnificence in all it's glory! :)
His floorplan is almost exactly what I had thought out for mine, so I'm really glad I saw this one. I really like his roof idea, going to have to show this to my partner and see what he thinks. We're trying to plan tiny while still young to avoid as much debt as possible
i think the couch works best where the front door is located,and a double door on the side(where the couch is) to a large outside living space w a closed in deckspace.i saw one video where the couch could be used for an eating area, and was glass all around the couch which really opened up the space nicely.i love how they are all slightly unique..
Beautiful spot and space! From 1989 to 1993, a solid 4 years, I lived in a 29' travel trailer full time while building a house. No one thought I was anything special. I lived there with my (ex) husband and our 3 cats. Simple living was fabulous and challenging. We had a generator, propane and used very little water.
The stairs and extra headroom in the loft, the windows that give airflow there and the room for a guest bed, all make this one of the best tiny houses to look at, both inside and out. Living alone probably helps to make it work, too.
I'm not one for writing big youtube comments or whatever, and I don't particularly share my feelings, but lately I've been feeling very low (since i had to go back to my old job cleaning, ((I like my first job and don't want to leave but they don't have enough hours))). I think a big part of my problem is money, lack of motivation and just... feeling the need to do /something/ other than what I seemto be doing; waiting. And I just finished uni but to top it off I actually failed my last semester so have to do a resit which really... helped... with my mood. But, after watching these tiny houses and seeing how much you can be affected (in a good way) of living more in rural places, or on the edge of cities, and less bills of course hah, I think I would really love to do this someday.
You need to live your life for sure, If you hate what you're doing try find something new if not, save up for a project like this so you don't spend the next 50 years working in a place you don't like, with low living costs there is no need for constant work (unless you want to travel, toys, etc) I am seriously considering making my own house like this some day soon back at home in NZ i would love to, not sure what my parents would say but what a smart idea and why not
Yes, I agree with you! I will definitely get on with savings, I have yet to put back into.. and just, "spread my wings" so to speak. Since my comment I have made some plans, and with work keeping me busy I am a bit happier, so now I just need to work on myself and getting out of here :) Travelling is at the top of my list, for sure, it will be good for the soul, ha. I think you should do it, if you can, I think these tiny houses are amazing and much affordable after the initial cost etc, good luck on converting your parents :)
Someone commented on this again, and I was reading back on it, but you know what happened in the last six months? After the graduation ceremony I got a job! And I'm working there now, as a graphic designer, I'm fitting in really well, but I hope it turns from temp to permanent :) So right now I'm really happy :) It's amazing what can happen in small time, and amazing how we feel when we get the job we dream of! Thought you might've been interested in this update :')
There are so many creative people on this planet. This guy has done a great job and you can actually tell he has gone through a lot in his life ...so well done and good luck!
Brett's tiny home was one of the first that I saw, and the gabled roof design blew my mind when I first saw it, you can tell a lot of tiny homes have taken this type of approach with more head room in the loft, its brilliant. Very glad to see he's settled up, and is living the dream! Thanks for the update!!
Omg the baby pig getting a back scratch and falling over in complete joy!!🤗🐖❤️ Gardening, Animals, or a river are soothing and bring such peace to your soul. I also love to make miniatures, l like his tiny paper trailer. And all the wood inside mixed with the blue colour in the kitchen is so cosy. He seems like a lovely gentleman. Wish him all the best in his little nest! 🐾🌈☮️🇨🇦
Thanks for the update. He really didn't change much since the first video... because the design is so great. I've already decided a long time ago that I don't want a built in couch for my tiny house. This is in my top 10 of favorite tiny house designs, and has been ever since you first showed it to us :)
I love that you go back to see how people are doing in their tiny houses! it is so important to get an update on how the mechanics are working out like water, electricity usage, and heat. tiny houses are not a fluke!
I have to say, I've watched hundreds of tinyhouse videos and this design remains one of my 5 or so favorites. The best features, to me, are the staircase design; the kitchen ceiling height and the roof shape, both giving more height to the loft; the size of the loft (ie, how far it extends over the kitchen). I'd definitely add a bathroom door, but other than that, this is a great design. Appreciate the update. I'd also find it difficult to do without some kind of space for projects; I don't want to have to unfold & fold up the house everytime I want to do something. I saw a great video about a shipping container house that was built on top of a framed first floor because there was an existing foundation, & they added an enormous second-floor deck. The square footage was around 320 sf, and the deck added a lot of living space. To me that would be ideal. The first floor could be a workshop or workout space or whatever; I'd want to make the ceiling a little higher than standard. I'm pretty sure it was Nelson Tiny Homes.
This is indeed one of my favorite tiny houses. I saw the first time this gentlemen was interviewed when he was talking about designing it, and the water storage is unique and practical. That is shown in the first video. May he have many years of freedom and happiness in his home.
A great interview. I find I wish there were more videos on what it's actually like to live --long term-- in a small space. This completely fit the bill. Thank you!
Good to see how the owners get on after a few years. Helps to see the pros and cons of what others have done and what they find what has zand has not worked
This is still one of my fave designs... I just love the design of the roof and the loft! It just seems so lovely and spacious and I love the 'air flow' design! It just makes sense!
Truly inspirational video, thank you! The hot, hot, hot loft in the summertime is wonderfully solved it seems with this design and its unique air flow. Just wow.
Absolutely love this house. The high ceiling gives the feel of so much space. I'm really big on kitchens and this setup looks like you have everything you need but it's not cramped. I would love to live in a place like this, in a landscape like this.
As amazing as it was the first time viewed. Still looks brand spanking new, and well planned while being stylish and comfortable. I would be as happy as a pig in mud to live Bretts lifestyle in this amazing house. Thanks for revisiting
most excellent design. clean open free flowing. the purpose of this life style is to live minimal. many tiny homes are crowed with cubbies shelves and clutter to accommodate creature comforts. this is a perfectly executed design.
So glad he mentioned the garage! Nobody ever mentions that part of tiny house living. If you live in a cold winter climate - or even a heavy rainy one - the garage is huge for quality of life. Who wants to dig their car out of snow every day? I’ve been there - way back in my college studio apartment days. I’ll never forget having the flu in a blizzard and being snowed in until I was well enough to dig my car out of 6 feet of snow to go to the market, use the phone (phones were down/before cell phones) and call my family to let them know I was alive! Today - no cell phone coverage is simply not an option. Would he climb that hill to get ambulance? I do like his design and the gorgeous setting of the home.
ME-Tube Your Space! Staircases are not practical for those who are mature in age, or have joint issues. Would like to see more designs with the main bed area on the lower area.
My tiny house has a 12' counter... my craft workshop... as I remember from this video. I am pleased that I did that, makes it very functional for a quilter. I needed a freezer, and my table is a flip out on top of it... 2x3 plus 2x3 makes a lovely 3x4 table when I need it. When not, it is a 2x3 ironing board. I love my tiny house.
I remember watching the original video of his tiny house way back when. It was his house that got me into the tiny house and minimalist community. Glad to see he's doing great. Thanks for the update video!! Awesome editing!
Can't believe it's been 2yrs. With the wee potbelly stove it may need a metal shield that's about one inch away from the wall. An airflow behind helps to keep the wall cool. So pleased he didn't get told to leave his wee whenua.
It's nice to see a revisit of the tiny house owner and how he's making it work for him...I hope you do more of the revisits...I hope in the future I can downsize and own a tiny house too!
Love this home and the setting. The stairs are amazing too as is the loft. The whole layout is wonderful. I would just need room for a larger refrigerator. 😍
"It's not just a home, it's an opportunity to live a larger life & I don't don't think that's something anyone would say no to." Sums it up really! Beautiful! : -)
Love this tiny home. One of the nicest loft spaces - as a claustrophobic I can't usually get my head around the idea of a roof so close to me, I would not be able to fall asleep. So neat and tidy this is guilting me to go fix my untidy kitchen.
It was great to revisit Brett and his beautifully designed Tiny House. I'll be back in NZ in 6 weeks, after almost 6mths in India, and am itching to get back into my own Tiny House project. Looking forward to a catch up Bryce. Cheers Paul.
Tnx for doing this revisit, i'm hoping the future will hold more of these ... (actually notice by the comments, this was already 3y ago, maybe pay this fine man another visit ?) i for one found this really encouraging for my own plans and ideas, which 'lets be honest' need to be doable beyond the instagram level in one's parents property.
Location, location, location!! I live in 250 sq feet on 3 acres with a creek in Southern Oregon. The floor plan is not as good as this one, but it has the amenities (plus good cell reception and internet :-) Great life
How in the world did I miss THIS video??? ( until now ) I saw both of the earlier videos a couple years ago, and was blown away by Brett's awesome design. I've looked at dozens upon dozens of other designs, and this one blows the rest away, in my opinion. This is the ONLY design that makes total sense to me, when it comes to actually building & living in my own tiny home. I don't "think" I'm going to build one exactly like it........I KNOW I am!!! Thanks again......especially to you Brett!!! Greetings from central Florida.
even with all the cool new ones we can see on yt, i still love this tiny house. it was the first physical example of a more contemporary design, that we'd seen, which was really cool cos we're not cottage, gable roof pitch, types. yep, kiwi way is definitely for space & lifestyle. love :-)
he has a beautiful tiny house and it would be easy to live where he lives because of the beautiful space outside, not having Internet would be difficult.
Thank you for a long term revisit. I have always thought his house made the best use of loft space and most sense of build as roof is laid out. Looks great and is lived in!
I haven't watched many videos of tiny houses, but so far this is the most beautiful interior I have seen. I love the colors used. I wish Brett many years of happiness and hope he finds a workaround for the big fat cushy couch so he can slob out in.
Bryce this home is a beautiful work of art. I wish I could talk my wife into designing and building a tiny house. But unfortunately she is very much against the whole thing. Good luck with your own tiny house. Thanks for sharing Roy
+Roy Wrenn thanks heaps Roy! Best of luck convincing your wife too. :) Maybe try and find a nice tiny house bnb that you can holiday in, she might fall in love with it!
One of my favourite tiny houses ever, I'm so glad you did a follow-up! Great job, Brent, your space is welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, and incredibly livable. Love it!
I truly admire him. We live in a word where all some people do is pay bills. I know for me, I'm tired of it!!! I truly hope to be happy in a tiny home some day.

I love the followup videos. Tiny house owners tend to be very creative and they're always tweaking their designs.

The first floor could be a workshop or workout space or whatever; I'd want to make the ceiling a little higher than standard. I'm pretty sure it was Nelson Tiny Homes.
“if I have A girlfriend over”.. not THE girlfriend or MY girlfriend, but A girlfriend.. dude’s a jungle Kazanova!! :))
This is indeed one of my favorite tiny houses. I saw the first time this gentlemen was interviewed when he was talking about designing it, and the water storage is unique and practical. That is shown in the first video. May he have many years of freedom and happiness in his home.
A great interview. I find I wish there were more videos on what it's actually like to live --long term-- in a small space. This completely fit the bill. Thank you!
Brett's design is still my favorite. I have looked at hundreds of Tiny house designs, and this modern on wheels is amazing.
I enjoyed this episode. Thank you both. Cheers Paul
+Paul Chambers Thanks Paul! :)
Good to see how the owners get on after a few years. Helps to see the pros and cons of what others have done and what they find what has zand has not worked
Love this house and love this update. I agree about the couch. I'd like a nice comfy place to sit as well.
This is still one of my fave designs... I just love the design of the roof and the loft! It just seems so lovely and spacious and I love the 'air flow' design! It just makes sense!
Truly inspirational video, thank you!
The hot, hot, hot loft in the summertime is wonderfully solved it seems with this design and its unique air flow. Just wow.
Loving his calmness and spirit bless him and your family
This is the best way to live. Have a space that u use completely. I love it
Absolutely love this house. The high ceiling gives the feel of so much space. I'm really big on kitchens and this setup looks like you have everything you need but it's not cramped. I would love to live in a place like this, in a landscape like this.
As amazing as it was the first time viewed. Still looks brand spanking new, and well planned while being stylish and comfortable. I would be as happy as a pig in mud to live Bretts lifestyle in this amazing house. Thanks for revisiting
This was the 1st Tiny Home I saw on the original video and it remains by far the best design of a tiny home I have ever seen.Bravo.
The suggestion of making a little model is just perfect.
+itsLean ★ yup! It's a great way to test ideas.
most excellent design. clean open free flowing. the purpose of this life style is to live minimal. many tiny homes are crowed with cubbies shelves and clutter to accommodate creature comforts. this is a perfectly executed design.
this is the way i want to live... no bills no stress. The less things you have in life the better. Great location and nice views, good for him
So glad he mentioned the garage! Nobody ever mentions that part of tiny house living. If you live in a cold winter climate - or even a heavy rainy one - the garage is huge for quality of life. Who wants to dig their car out of snow every day? I’ve been there - way back in my college studio apartment days. I’ll never forget having the flu in a blizzard and being snowed in until I was well enough to dig my car out of 6 feet of snow to go to the market, use the phone (phones were down/before cell phones) and call my family to let them know I was alive! Today - no cell phone coverage is simply not an option. Would he climb that hill to get ambulance? I do like his design and the gorgeous setting of the home.
This is one of the best small homes and layouts of any around. Well thought out.
thanks for doing a follow up. I have been wondering how he has been getting along & it's nice to see him thriving.
This house is beautiful and very livable. ....EXCEEEEEPT for the bathroom, lol.
Danelle Malchus exactly my thought. I could totally live like that if I only had an OK bathroom and maybe be able to use my phone.
My favourite tiny house.
Nice tiny space..especially the loft with the staircase. Every house should have a staircase.
ME-Tube Your Space! Staircases are not practical for those who are mature in age, or have joint issues. Would like to see more designs with the main bed area on the lower area.
My tiny house has a 12' counter... my craft workshop... as I remember from this video. I am pleased that I did that, makes it very functional for a quilter. I needed a freezer, and my table is a flip out on top of it... 2x3 plus 2x3 makes a lovely 3x4 table when I need it. When not, it is a 2x3 ironing board. I love my tiny house.
This has always been one of my top 3 Tiny Houses favorites....
I really admire this man and his home.Looks similar to what I imagined.
What happens if you get sick and need to make a call?
Personally, cell service would be a must.
Oh what a treat to see this man and his epic home again! One of my favorites of all.
I remember watching the original video of his tiny house way back when. It was his house that got me into the tiny house and minimalist community. Glad to see he's doing great. Thanks for the update video!! Awesome editing!
This is really beautiful for a single man excellent excellent excellent I could live here
this home is very nice! Practical and spacious! Great ideas here!
Can't believe it's been 2yrs. With the wee potbelly stove it may need a metal shield that's about one inch away from the wall. An airflow behind helps to keep the wall cool. So pleased he didn't get told to leave his wee whenua.
Bryce you did it again. You're so magical. That guy is so sweet. Wishing him lots of happiness 🌞🎶💞🌻!!!
put a radio at the toilet and if someone is using they can put music on
In Japan the toilets can play soothing music 🎶
😀😜
It's nice to see a revisit of the tiny house owner and how he's making it work for him...I hope you do more of the revisits...I hope in the future I can downsize and own a tiny house too!
Love this home and the setting. The stairs are amazing too as is the loft. The whole layout is wonderful. I would just need room for a larger refrigerator. 😍
love this guy...he's doing life his way....love his honesty
"It's not just a home, it's an opportunity to live a larger life & I don't don't think that's something anyone would say no to."
Sums it up really! Beautiful! : -)
So happy to see an update on Brett's house and that he is doing so well too! Thanks
Love this tiny home. One of the nicest loft spaces - as a claustrophobic I can't usually get my head around the idea of a roof so close to me, I would not be able to fall asleep. So neat and tidy this is guilting me to go fix my untidy kitchen.
It was great to revisit Brett and his beautifully designed Tiny House. I'll be back in NZ in 6 weeks, after almost 6mths in India, and am itching to get back into my own Tiny House project. Looking forward to a catch up Bryce. Cheers Paul.
personally ever since I've seen your first video on this house there has never been a tiny home that I was more impressed with that this one
This was a spectacular video. Very informative and inspiring. Extremely well done!
Tnx for doing this revisit, i'm hoping the future will hold more of these ... (actually notice by the comments, this was already 3y ago, maybe pay this fine man another visit ?)
i for one found this really encouraging for my own plans and ideas, which 'lets be honest' need to be doable beyond the instagram level in one's parents property.
Location, location, location!! I live in 250 sq feet on 3 acres with a creek in Southern Oregon. The floor plan is not as good as this one, but it has the amenities (plus good cell reception and internet :-) Great life
How in the world did I miss THIS video??? ( until now ) I saw both of the earlier videos a couple years ago, and was blown away by Brett's awesome design. I've looked at dozens upon dozens of other designs, and this one blows the rest away, in my opinion. This is the ONLY design that makes total sense to me, when it comes to actually building & living in my own tiny home. I don't "think" I'm going to build one exactly like it........I KNOW I am!!! Thanks again......especially to you Brett!!! Greetings from central Florida.
even with all the cool new ones we can see on yt, i still love this tiny house. it was the first physical example of a more contemporary design, that we'd seen, which was really cool cos we're not cottage, gable roof pitch, types. yep, kiwi way is definitely for space & lifestyle. love :-)
it's a pleasure to see Brett agian
he has a beautiful tiny house and it would be easy to live where he lives because of the beautiful space outside, not having Internet would be difficult.
Still the BEST! After several years of watching thousands of videos, Brett's is still my absolute favorite.
Thank you for a long term revisit. I have always thought his house made the best use of loft space and most sense of build as roof is laid out. Looks great and is lived in!
Love the roof design. I think it would be great in hot tropics.
I haven't watched many videos of tiny houses, but so far this is the most beautiful interior I have seen. I love the colors used. I wish Brett many years of happiness and hope he finds a workaround for the big fat cushy couch so he can slob out in.
Best loft space I've seen so far
Bryce this home is a beautiful work of art. I wish I could talk my wife into designing and building a tiny house. But unfortunately she is very much against the whole thing. Good luck with your own tiny house.
Thanks for sharing
Roy
+Roy Wrenn thanks heaps Roy! Best of luck convincing your wife too. :) Maybe try and find a nice tiny house bnb that you can holiday in, she might fall in love with it!
One of the best Tiny House designs I've seen .. ..
One of my favourite tiny houses ever, I'm so glad you did a follow-up! Great job, Brent, your space is welcoming, aesthetically pleasing, and incredibly livable. Love it!
