- For your chance to win your own tiny home and support a great cause, enter at bit.ly/You-Win-Omaze-Tiny-Home... In this weeks episode we visit an incredible off-the-grid shipping container home that is in a truly epic location!
One of the major advantages of shipping container homes is that they can be constructed off site and transported to remote locations. That's exactly what has happened with this spectacular home which has been built using a 40ft shipping container.
Situated in the hills overlooking the ocean and with mountain views of the South Island in New Zealand, this home is simply breathtaking. It's remote location has meant that off-the-grid living is essential and the home is powered by an impressive solar system.
Enjoy the full video tour of this spectacular small shipping container home!

One of the things that I love about shipping container homes is how they often end up in some truly remarkable locations. This place is a great example of that! I hope you all enjoy the full tour of this stunning off-the-grid home amongst some truly wild New Zealand landscape. Love Bryce & Rasa
I love your shipping container videos! Thanks Bryce and Rasa :)
I was waiting for this since last week. I found myself watching your old videos over n over again😊
@@imlisanglaozukum3586 me too😁
Bryce and Rasa, What an absolutely Wonderful episode of Living Big In A Tiny House. It does my Heart good to see people's dreams come into fruition. A spectacular location to be alive and at home. A Big Thanks to Omaze for the Tiny House contest. Woohoo!
Bryce this is Awesome I’m hoping to build a tiny house with containers here in Jamaica 🇯🇲. Thanks
The only thing missing in this tiny house is a telescope on the deck...perfect spot for ocean and sky watchers.
AMEN to that
I bet they have one!
911 = Inside Job (No Planes)
Building 7 ?
WOW SPOT ON, I AGREE, TELESCOPE
@@freedomofmovement3376 + THAT'S RIGHT BRO, INSIDE JOB...SEARCH REBEKAH ROTH ON CZcams, TYPE IN THAT NAME AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS....9/11 WAS U.S DONE~!
Bryce, I think you've found the tiny house with the BEST VIEW EVER! 🏆 What an amazing home for a terrific couple.
Kiwi's are the best
Super awesome
Hope they like wind! One of the windiest spots in NZ!
What about lighting...highest point is the home. Put lighting rods nearby to decrease chance of being hit. 😁
@@NakeshiaBeard I grew up at a windy beach, would get so irritated by it.
It's so nice to see a couple do this who are not in their twenties and who still go out to work in the city.
It makes it feel more like anyone could do this rather than like only younger people who work from home.
The millenials didn't discover alternative housing, dear. Today's "older people" are the former hippies who were into alternative housing in the 1960s. Nowadays people of all ages are fed up with high mortgages and wasteful spending. Many retirees are walking away from ridiculous McMansions, jettisoning decades of collectible crap, and finally getting to relax in our old age. P.S. Most of the people in my farm community work in a major city fifty miles away, and have commuted for years. We'd rather see trees when we get home instead of suburbia.
@@lucygray6162 oh sorry, I didnt mean to phrase it as it's only younger people who do this !
I meant that on this channel it is often couples in their 20s who work from home who are shown living in tiny houses. I just meant it's nice to see other people, makes it seem like an option that fits with more than just one way of life.
I've watched many many Living Big In A Tiny House episodes and been quite impressed with most. Some I have liked but not loved. But this is the very first time I have been flat out JEALOUS! Damn between the shipping container house layout and that spectacular view all I can say is, I want...
Glad you’ve found a favorite! :)
Dude, same goes with me. This location and it's view are really² makes me jealous.
These two were not kidding with wanting to go off grid!
hahaha. They sure weren't!
They're lucky that they live in a safe country.
In our country, living in an area that remote is like asking to get robbed lmao
@@brokeindio5072
Really? What country are you in? I mean, that's so sad. Don't get me wrong, New Zealand has its unfair share of ratbag thieves, and there has been the rare case of farmhouses being invaded and occupants terrorised, but thankfully, it is rare.
annakeye thats sad to hear
New Zealand is like a safe heaven of earth
Pitt things like these go on there
@@annakeye I'm from some unimportant 3rd world country. Views from uninhabited places here are really really good, straight out of fairytale. But imo it's not worth it since there's a high chance of getting mugged by rebels or bandits.
Number 1 most epic parking spot yet? Their spot is just insane, in all the good ways. And also, marriage goals? They seem to adore eachother
The best part of this video is this incredible couple. I want to grow old like that. Such love!!! Bless them!!! 🥰🥰🥰
MALVIKA+ YOU TAKING APPLICATIONS?
@@leelunk8235 😄😄😄
The way the wife looked at the husband when he was talking. Ohh I feel loveeee.
Fabulous love all of it
The same the way he looked at her :)
Yes, I realized about that.
@@alfrancis8 I now see why I got back into thoughts of the "man of my life", imagining how life would be with him if life brings us together. But I can't imagine myself leaving my 160+ rescued animals for anything. So we'll, thanks for that little moment with him - in my pipe dreams♥️
I found these videos quite by accident and I've been binge watching them for the past 3 days :D I find them delightful and Bryce is the kind of interviewer more interviewers should strive to be. I am experiencing the empty nest syndrome now that my son just moved out, I am realizing how little of my home I actually use. Due to back issues, I don't sleep in my actual bedroom. The California king is too soft for my back, so I find I am sleeping on the couch and have been for roughly a year or so. I think I would do well in a tiny house I just need to de-clutter a lot first :D
Sounds like a tiny house might be in your future! :)
Join me. I'm living tiny in a big house. I'm downsizing and trying it on for size. I'm learning what I actually need before hand. For example, two burners are more than enough for me. I don't need a sink in the bathroom but I do need counter space. The experience is helping me be comfortable before making the plunge and while legislation changes where I live.
@@livingbig I only wish I could afford it. Living in Maine, our winters are brutal, so the heating would be easier and cheaper, but I would definitely need a full size kitchen because I love to cook and bake and I would need a flushing toilet :D Not doing incineration or composting LOL Kudos to those that do use those, it's just not for me
@@angel196989 you can have flushing toilet if tiny house is connected to grid
and if you see other episodes here you will see quite big kitchens in some tiny houses
@@krewetkaaaa I have health issues that would make it difficult for me to empty the composting toilet and there isn't always someone around that would be willing to do that for me, so the flushing toilet would be best for me
People talk alot about Bryce and you are a great host but Rasa, you are truly the best camerawoman out there. Without you this show certainly wouldn't have worked!
I can see Bryce is feeling the cold weather whereas the older couple are unaffected☺
I would tear up watching the sunset on that deck every night!
Have fun watching it with 50mph wind in your face
This tiny house is so simple and lovely.. Just as her owners are!!
And of course, thank you Bryce and Rasa for the video❤️
Our pleasure!
@@livingbig , did you ask them the most important thing!? How were they able (and how much did they pay) to have that piece of land with suuuuch a vista and only 20 min from downtown in a very secluded place and we can see by the panoramic camera shots that is like a undiscovered place. Seriously, it seems that all wealthy people form the city should be living there.
I love the chemistry between Bryce and this couple, really shows the difference between some people who really want to show off their home, and those who don’t as much, it makes it so much more enjoyable to watch Bryce joke around with the couple and not have to ask lots of questions because they were just so excited about sharing parts of their home. Really awesome job here, love the home, love the people living in it, I hope they continue to love their home as much as they do now!
I don't think I have thanked you yet Bruce for all the beautiful houses you have shown us. The cinematography is often stunning. The care, love, art, and time you put into it shows. That is why your channel is a success.
Live the space but my favorite parts of the video is when Brent said “ it’s fantastic to have a partner that wants to do these things…“ And how Brent credited Delia for the vision and how beautifully they created the dream together. I truly appreciate Delia’s thoughts about our impact on our environment and how downsizing our foot print is ecological. Thanks Bryce and Rasa!❤️❤️
Random observation from watching a lot of these videos - Bryce's curly hair is both aesthetically pleasing and performs a crucial function for tall people in tiny houses - it acts like a cat's whiskers and helps him avoid bumping his head on low ceilings. Brilliant.
Well said Jennifer.
Let's face it, Bryce is a cutie. But then Rasa (his partner and camerawoman) is a beauty as well. They're a lovely couple, inside and out.
I wish he has his own tv show. His videos about all the tiny houses motivates me to do well in college.
Nothing better than watching your tiny house videos with our Saturday coffee ☕ (we're in Europe so timing is perfect) a big hello from our cabin in the woods to anyone reading this🌲🌲 🏡🌲🌲
I love when I'm in CZcams and you drop a new video! 30 secs ago 🤪
Perfect timing! Enjoy the video. :)
The same for me.
Wow! Breathtaking indeed! It makes the container home I'm building in a rural area look a tad dull!! 😆😆 great job on this home!
Applause, standing ovation, most beautiful setting ever!
I live in welly and man that thing would get absolutely hammered by the elements.
What I love the most about your Channel is when you have off the grid homes.
They are pretty stunning! :)
Yeah❤❤
Off-grid is wonderful.
I love this one. Not so bad shuffling along beside the bed.. I think I'd rather shuffle than crawl. WOW and they're happy couple too. 🌞
I agree with all the comments, the view is spectacular , the house is well built and this couple lovely. But i agree with the owner also, this is life choice and not an alternative for affordable living anymore with this price tag. They create a new tiny house owner category.
I don’t like the main entrance being the bathroom seems a little weird but beautiful home ❤️
In the Corona times this is ideally practical... Sanitary
Picky picky
In my opinion, the real front entrance is the bi-fold door or the double door even further down. I think the door off the bathroom is really their "back door." I realize the filming and even the welcome mat presented the bathroom door as the front door, but I think most people would look at it the way I described.
As a gardener I like the bathroom being near the entrance, for disrobing grubby clothes, but ya, I'm not sure how that works when you have a group of people over.
@@Chahlie It's also part mudroom, especially with the floor boards and collection underneath.
Woah!!!!!!!
This is just breathtaking....
I can't wait to have a tiny house of my own....
Thank you so much for these videos!!
You're very welcome! Glad you like the home!
@@livingbig watching these videos are like my secret getaways...
I have been planning to build one for me, since the first day when I started watching your videos...
Someday for sure...
Thank you.
That home is the epitome of the Real Estate adage “Location, location, location”! It could not have been better. NZ seems to be a beautiful country. I hope I can visit some day.
people are gronks here
@@Anastasia11101 not everyone I guess!! 😂😅
I love the view and the lightness of the space in this one. My husband has always wanted a beach home on the Gulf of Mexico (Florida panhandle), but there are so many hurricanes. I’ve proposed that we can buy a piece of land and put a couple of tiny houses on wheels, and move them inland when a storm gets close. Wouldn’t be much damage to an empty lot! .
CD.
I found the exterior an eyesore in a lovely landscape.
I agree Sandrine, I don't think they would have saved much money by starting with a container, perhaps they should have designed something that blended more into the landscape instead.
Smaller ecological footprint on the planet 🌍✔️
That's one way to put your thoughts into words Ma'am 👍🏻
very well thought out and attention to detail. the extra space for the bedroom is great and the walk in robe ! I would love to do this one day. I am wondering what the day to day costs of running this home would be - free electricity with the solar panels, free heating with the wood fire, compost toilet, and rain water tank... would their be no services required??
The gentleman said they don't have a water catch system. Water is trucked in & stored in the holding tank. They may incure occasional fees for solar maintenance, cleaning the wood burning stove exhaust duct & sanitizing the water tank. They said they arranged for land use but didn't mention a lease expense, access road up keep or trash removal.
I wondered about the wood supply myself... I didn't see any trees, so that must be purchased and trucked in for winter (?) -- I was surprised to see a diswasher!
oh, you really don't want a composting toilet. I had one for about 4 years, paid over 2000.00 for it but come to find out unless you put the big containers to catch and mix around and separate the fluids under the house..(over 5000.00 for that) then they just don't work. They eventually smell, get too wet, and it ends up being pretty gross. I have a filter toilet now and I love it. It only cost about $250.00 and the filters are about 75.00 for a box of 3 and each lasts about a week or more for 1 person. I have found a cheaper way to do it though with large camping toilet bags. It's actually less smell than a composting toilet and the $ is a heck of a lot less..
@@Jillysmom63 you paid 2k for something with no research and didn't read the directions? That's hilarious
For a tiny country so many of your videos feature people who express a real concern for the planet. Good on yer Kiwis !
What a breathtaking location 😍 During the day, everything off grid looks so dreamy. Anyone ever wonder what it’d be like at night?
The stars are probably AMAZING ⭐🌠. And the quiet -- so peaceful 😴
I would imagine it being very dark, pitch black!
There would be minimal light pollution from the city, so the night sky would look amazing. You would see the passing ships as it overlooks the cook strait. If you couldn't tell, its open to strong southerly winds and would get very cold.
As an American the thing I found most amazing is that the three of you could be that close without masks. And you shook hands!
It's everything a shipping container ought to be. Looking forward to a time when you'll be able to make more and more episodes. Stay safe.
What I love about this is that they've really thought about making this a cosy home for themselves. It has such a good feeling about it. Thank you for sharing!
As a fashion lover myself, as soon as the video started I noticed how beautiful Delia's outfit was, and when the closet was revealed I immmediately could tell it was not a coincidence. She sure loves fashion and you can tell as soon as you see her! I just love how ingenious people are when it comes to things they love. Living tiny doesn't have to mean having two baskets and a drawer for a closet, and this tiny house is living proof of that. I loved this design. And say nothing about those views! Gee, I'm a little jealuos over here!
I want to be the one who'll start a tiny house reputation here in Philippines, I'm now studying architecture and this has always been keeping me motivated! A solid fan here
Hi Bryce - you are a very kind, gifted person !!
And New Zealand is wonderful !!!
And I love shipping container homes - this here is one of the best !!
I finally discovered some of your songs - they are absolutely artistic and very very beautiful !! I know you're concentrating on this channel - which is one of my favorites - but please don't give up music !!! Hugs from a German Grandma - you can trust me !! 😉🌻❤
Thank-you so much! I'm so happy that you enjoy my music too. I'm happy to say that I have an album coming out later this year too which I'm very excited about. :)
@@livingbig wow !! Hopefully I can hear it here in Germany !!! Thanks for your reply, Bryce - hugs again !!! 🎸🎶
@@livingbig Please keep us informed.
На самом деле , вы такой добрый...
Ваши видео, это прекрасно, как сказка
@@livingbig ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! I did find your music too quite a while back and I thought, man, I hope he'd have time to do more! Can't wait! (by the way, I still love the music theme of this channel - after all these years, I'm still excited when it starts in the video :D)
I am in love with the views...ocean and mountains - nature's best.
I must say, the part of the tiny houses I always want to see is the bathroom area and this is so lovely. The view is amazing, the house and the couple are great.
A truly 5 Star ⭐️ and unique magical home with amazing natural beauty surrounding this place!!
The house is lovely and the location makes it heavenly!
My favourite time there would be sunrise & sunset. Those glows from the sun setting are just spectacular!!! Absolutely stunning place to live.
I like how this couple shows respect for each other. So nice to see the good chemistry. The house is fits them.
Ohhhhhhhh my gosh that location is incredible!
It was such a stunning place to film!
Love your channel Bryce & great to see a young man who is still a gentleman, i notice that you always greet the ladies first. Love the channel, can't get enough. Keep up the great work.
So glad you enjoy our videos! Thanks so much for watching.
I am from Jamaica and I would love to own one of these home I cant stop watch these videos
$350k NZD is around $230k USD in case anyone was wondering. Outrageously high for a container home, but that house is outrageously enviable.
What a VIEW!!! Oh my goodness - the tiny house was lovely and well thought out but - Wow!!
my take on this is that on top of the container is solid a deck on top would give you 360 degree view of every thing that would be just amazing view that is the only thing i would add to this house
Watching from the Philippines while sipping coffee in a rainy morning
Unusual entry, but it works for them! Would want an opaque curtain in front of the toilet with this, I'd think, but everything is so well thought out! Mesmerizing view. Seems perfect for those who love their dirt bikes! The couple support each other so well. Both seem equally enthralled with the result. So nice to see.
For me, they're really coming in their "back door" past the fish-cleaning sink and into the bathroom. I see the bi-fold doors or the double door as their "front door."
Not really a fan of walking straight into the bathroom but the aesthetic is soooooo there ❤️
I think the welcome mat and the way the episode was filmed certainly presented that door as the front door, but I think their real front door is the bi-fold door or the double door further down. I'd consider the door out the bathroom to be a "back door," including fish-cleaning sink.
Hi Bryce, I love your channel, living in small city of Singapore where the average unit usually 500sqf, I'm taking many inspirations from this channel
Petition for Marie Kondo and Bryce to meet? Would be so wholesome
Lovely people, amazing views. $350,000 NZ is about $228,000 USD, so it's not so expensive as it might seem. Thank you, Bryce and Rasa!
Such a beautiful and wonderfully designed, crafted and located tiny! This beautiful couple has masterfully designed it to be their own, by completely imagining it the way they truly value, rather than going with conventions! Thank you Bryce and Rasa for bringing it. Also, missed you guys last week. :)
This place is a dream..🥰🥰🥰and what a beautiful couple...
These two have INCREDIBLE taste and such good design sense.
It really fills my heart with joy to see older couples like this one to build their dream house. A great use of the money they've collected their whole lives, and a great investment for a happy retirement. All the comforts and adventures they could ever want. I can see them as rocking 80 year olds, still riding their motorbikes all over their hills and cleaning fresh fish in that sink. Good on them!
I love this place! Especially the wardrobe. In so many of these tiny houses, people are crawling on their knees to the clothing cabinets and there is no space around the bed to make changing the sheets easy. I love this one level home!
This lady is talking about "downsizing" while sitting in her SECOND HOME. (?)
Also, what a wonderful view. I like that they used the containers, which means that in the future it can be removed, leaving almost no trace of it being there. Much better than a normal home with a foundation
They did downsize, and it's their house. What is your issue? Of course they still had the apartment when building, did you think they should be homeless??!
With Racquel Calinga. Wow! Wow!wow!wow! This is the place and house I love to live with the rest of my life . It's breathtaking and amazed home. I'm jealous of this house.
Greetings from Ukraine, Kiev region🇺🇦🙏. Thank you for such great video reviews☺. Lovely people, lovely house on top of a mountain with a beautiful view !!! Thank you all !!!❤❤❤
I have to tell you that this is the best tiny house I have ever seen. So beautiful.
Oh my goodness! What a breathtaking view wow, I would soooo love that sitting on the deck over looking those georgios mountains having my morning coffee! ❤❤❤❤ ☕
It's actually very nice and has that home sweet home vibe 😊 the bathroom is beautiful I love the his and hers wardrobe and how it's hidden, all the windows
The house interiors is really good just like a lot of those innovative houses. But the location, ahhhh, you cannot get anything better than that. Incredible view.
That's the real "1 million dollar view", amazing place!
*but the entry on the bathroom tho... that's the only thing i would never expect on a house
For me, that's really their "back door," including fish-cleaning sink, and their real front door is either the bi-fold door or the double door further down.
It’s so beautiful, though! Very creative and breezy looking. That circular mirror and window combination is gorgeous.
Yeah I think it isn't their main entrance and bathrooms is dead space for most of the day so using it as a mud room as well makes use of the space more efficient. I like it.
Maple Leaf makes much more sense to me too, but in the video i believe he says it is the main entrance. Still like all the rest
OMG!!! I am soooo impressed with their breath-taking vision & planning for retirement that they have created for themselves, in this outstanding location. Furthermore, hats off on this professional audio-visual documentary which took us all into their unique tiny home journey. Truly... thank you for sharing! 🙏
"Oh, I was just in the neighborhood".... said no one EVER!! Lol!! Just awesome.
This one is amazing! I love the location and it's cool that they managed to downsize while still keeping the things that were important to them (like the large closet).
Absolutely beautiful! And so are they! This is one of my favorites!
That's the ultimate shipping container home!
They have done a top job building that.
Those views though!
What a beautiful tiny home and a lovely couple, they're the type you'd want to have dinner and laughs with. I can't believe this place is like 30mins out of Wellington did they say? New Zealand is just paradise
I've watched all of your tiny house coverage and I can say THIS couple has the most fantastic view! I am incredibly jealous of what they see everday there. I'e done mountain climbing and the views are always stunning especially sunrise and sunset. Seeing those moments in that house, that must be soooo amazing!!! Thanks for the lovely couple sharing their home to us and your checking it out, Bryce! ❤
God, those views. That's the dream right there.
This might be the best container home I’ve ever seen 🤘🤘🤘🏴
DEFINITELY the best container home layout ive ever seen! That gal should go into business designing TH's!
Beautifully thought out design!! The kitchen and bathroom are spacious for a tiny home, and I absolutely love that the bedroom closet storage is not in the bathroom, not a part of the kitchen as it often is in tiny house on trailers. And the views! Beautiful!
Beautiful! Love the doors. Interesting concept of entering through the bathroom
Would love this in Kerry, Ireland but no way in hell would I get planning permission.
Why not?
@@hellooutthere8956 we're not very progressive with our planning permission here in Ireland unfortunately. 😔 if it's not a "traditional build" it's very hard to get planning permission or a mortgage
Was down driving slea head last week, exactly what I thought!
@@floyne86 councils and gov.should make it easier for people to build !🤔🤔
@@joannemurdock7899 100% agree. But our government doesn't like people living alternative lifestyles, IE not consuming power, water etc. Which is all taxable. Such a shame cos we have an abundance of natural resources. Corruption always wins unfortunately.
This house really stands out among all those cookie-cutter tiny houses! I like how the old couple put the bathroom in the doorway to wipe out more mud and sand from outside. I noticed there's only a mud road by the house so this must be the best option for the layout. This speaks a lot for the couple's ingenuity to adapt to the environment.
They did a phenomenal job with this house! The light colors, clean lines, and real furniture make it extra homey.
Wow, this location! I would die for it!
Talk about that VIEW! Gorgeous!!
It sure is!
She is a natural architect/interior decorator. Everything is thought through and stylish, not one thing was compromised on. Homely and inviting, well done.
Among all the videos I've watched, this has one of the most stunning view. Living on such place is totally therapeutic!
that location is incredible!!!!
Glad you like it!
Been waiting for ur video bryce..every night i check my notifications just to see ur upload
I hope you enjoy this episode!
InshaAllah
This would have to be one of my favourite tiny houses I have seen on your channel Bryce. Incredibly well thought out to meet the couples needs and using quality materials. And the view....leaves me breathless and just a tad envious (in a nice way). A gorgeous couple as well. I love how you seek out and interview a broad cross section of people Bryce.... well done on delivering another exceptional couple and their tiny house 💕👌
Alright now my mind has changed again. This tiny house has hands down the best location of any tiny house video I've watched. The location is simply beautiful and the views and the house itself are both amazing. Great job done by the couple!
Out of site.
So practical
Would love to live the mountain next door
I love blue you can tell they like blue.
The location is breathtaking, but I don't like the idea to enter the house, and standing right away in the toilette.
These people who live off grid in tiny homes are simply amazing. I really am blown away by the ingenuity of using every foot of space to the maximum. And that specatacular view. Awesome. And Bryce.....uuf!!!
Wow what a location!! I was so drawn to the surroundings I was almost surprised when you asked to look inside, but it is a fantastically designed and furnished home. One of the best I have seen
