Stunning, Affordable, OFF-GRID Tiny House & Solar Trailer

- In this episode we meet a can-do DIY couple who have built themselves an amazing tiny house on wheels! The tiny home is almost entirely constructed using reclaimed materials and the result is a pinterest ready dream home!
This off-the-grid home is solar powered, with a separate solar trailer which has been constructed to house the solar panels, batteries and inverters and which sits next to the house and can easily be repositioned for maximum solar gains, a really clever idea!
By building the home themselves and using mostly reclaimed and recycled materials, Lauren and Michael have been able to construct a dream tiny home for a super affordable price.
We hope you enjoy the full tour of this beautiful tiny house.

#tinyhouse #diy #offthegrid - Jak na to + styl
This is a build that really takes me back and reminds me of the early days of the tiny house movement in NZ. I'll always love these simple but beautifully built homes, constructed from reclaimed materials by DIY builders. The very heart of the tiny house movement is encapsulated in tiny houses like this one. We hope you enjoy the tour! With love, Bryce & Rasa
Not sure how often you go to the USA, but my husband and I built a tiny house that is 90% off grid. It’s actually not on wheels like most. We wash our clothes like the olden days, are learning to preserve our own food, and would love to share our life with you guys! It’s funny because I’m a real estate agent and sell folks big houses all the time and I live simple and tiny.
Some times the smallest things take up the biggest space in our hearts -Pooh bear ❤️
Love the childhood timber from the treehouse!!!!!
It does :)
This house looks like sh*t with an awful color. No, not all tiny houses are spectacular. This isn't one of those. Thumbs down.
These young people inspire me so much. I'm so proud for them. My granddaughter and I are building her a tiny house. It's very simple but we're doing it together. We're hoping to finish it to a liveable state by the end of April. Thankyou so much for sharing this journey. We've been inspired by your efforts to share ever since the beginning. Thankyou and all your featured guests for sharing your ideas and hope.👍
Maybe one day soon we'll get a chance to see your family project on this channel 🥰
Robin, Good luck on you and your granddaughters' build!! Hopefully, we'll get to watch y'all on Bryce's channel!!😊
That is amazing, go you guys! Good luck! :)
WOw ! All the best ! God bless !
I LOVE how the wood came from her childhood treehouse/tree. It’s so special!
Pooh bear would be so proud!! 🥰
Could you pick up on the name of the tree?
macrocarpa tree
I adore how much love they share in their glances at each other...very special tiny and lovely couple! 🌹
Even after watching a lot of episodes, it always amazes me how tiny houses look so much bigger on the inside! Also, you can never have too many plants.
It is a wide lens camera. I dont think it is as big as it appears.
Have you been to one of those tiny house expos?
They are delightful and to hear how each one's family member was there helping with the build-aww! I love the wood incorporated inside and the sleeping loft was huge.. thank you
Man every time she says deck …. I have to do a double take lol 😂
I have to admit I did a double take when she said she wanted a big deck. 😊
Me, too
so happy to see u back on the road again & visiting tiny's! this one has a old-fashioned boho charm to it. stay happy & healthy Bryce & Rasa 🥰
Thanks! It's so nice to be able to film again. Rasa and I were both going out of our minds!
Just beautiful! Love it!
They could call this tiny house "Tiffany." That colour is pretty close to the famous "Tiffany blue" of the boxes that (very high end American jeweler) Tiffany puts their jewellery (or "jewelry" to them) in!
It's a jewel box of a home!
Yes, Tiffany. Great idea
Plus the "stained glass" window. Tiffany was a master of stained glass.
Guy's Let's have breakfast at Tiffanys😍😍😍
@@deborahrossi8963 Oh of course, yes!!! That too!
@@sagittar3407 It's a date!
I love that they used the door as a window. Genius. Saving that idea. Well done.
Thank you for inviting us to your home. I truly appreciate how down to earth, simple, and joyful you are. Your "Tiffany" 🏠 is an extension of your personality.
Thank you to Rasa and Bryce for another fantastic documentary. 🙏
Your timing is impeccable, I had already got the coffee made :) No delay and I can sit down to watch this one straight away. Thanks guys.
Nice one! Just made a pot myself and looking forward to reading through some comments now. I hope you're well mate! Enjoy your coffee and the video. ☕️
This woman is such a beautiful personality. He is so lucky to have her in his life.
Yeah the woman is beautiful and has a bubbly personality…that’s a husband wants in life…you are lucky bro
Wow!! I absolutely love this build, it has charm, warmth and functionality. I really like that they went for recycled materials and the whole diy aspect deserves the utmost respect. Congratulations Lauren & Michael on building a beautiful home, and for allowing Bryce & Rasa to share it with us all. As always wonderful camera work and editing.
i am so going to steal the glass door sideways as a window idea! and the solar on a trailer too 😀. both brilliant.
Ok so my second tome commenting on your videos. This was the most realistic one I've yet to seen. Love how they showed the real them, the shoes not well arranged underneat the sofa, the towels ordinarily placed in the bathroom etc, the kitchen storage racks being ordinary everyday things we use. Just love this as it was the most relatable one I've seen so I would have to give it 100% over all the others I've watched.
I just want to say, Lauren has the most beautiful energy and smile, I'm sure she makes lot's of people laugh. What a lovely person 😊.
And as always... these tiny houses surprise me on the inside, the space seems much bigger.
All recycled items have been chosen with taste.
Adorable house and adorable young couple!!
Happy Friday ☺️ have a wonderful weekend wherever you are in the world 🙏 xoxo
Thanks and happy friday to you also.
What a beautiful home with incredible surroundings. How fortunate this young couple is to be able to choose to live like this. Kudos to them!!! I love it. I hope someday to live in something like this.
Hello 👋dear, how are you doing?
I grew up in the Southern San Joaquin Valley of California in the USA. Our house was that same color and was the bright spot of our neighborhood for 53 years. 👍🏻👍🏻
Bryce and Rasa 🎶 on the road again 🎶 what a location, the view, just love these open land spaces, no one really close by, the privacy that’s what I want…thx Bryce and Rasa for showing this beautiful tiny comfy home.❤️ the couple made me laugh their fun..😀❤️
The more I watch this channel the more I find myself asking what am I waiting for.
So much love from him looking at her makes this tiny home a better “sweet” home ☺️
Aww😻😻
Omg, your tree house turn into your wall and counter top, now that's one very special Tiny Home🏡❤️💕... having granny during the building and dad helping is also very precious.
beautiful scenery, cute house, cute couple, that woman's smile could melt the polar icecaps.
You can tell this couple truly adores one another. So incredible!
We ❤️ you, Rasa & Bryce. You bring so much hope and happiness to the world. Keep up the great work!
Lauren loves you dude. Hang on to her for life
"There's a really big difference in building a house an building a home"..They have so much love for each other you can see it in how they look at each other, plus they have a dog and plants..Such a warm home.
Nowz that's what I call a tiny house, well done, full of memories and cheap.
This couple is adorable. I love their energy, and their home. Thank you!
Your Granny is a super cool chick! Yay, Granny!
These two are adorable how they keep giggling. The way they look at each other. You can see the love they have together.
Such a beautiful home they have built! I appreciate how much recycled materials played into the building of the tiny home.
Lovey couple and the current location is heaven on earth!
Without question, one of the most incredible tiny homes I have ever seen! ❤️👌! Well done
I just absolutely LOVE that outside color!
For sure! It's such a welcoming colour.
@@livingbig do you know what the colour is called and what paint brand? Thanks
Such a cute couple and great home! Loved the unique door window and door in kitchen! Super cute!
For sure. The door window was one of my favourite features in this home.
I love this tiny home - a real homey feel, and the colour of the outside is gorgeous. And so very beautiful with all the wood inside along with the white to bring in the light. Beautifully designed. Whenever I see a new excerpt from Living Big, I'm right there and immediately immersed. And this is one I will take away lots of ideas from for my own build still to happen. Thank you!!!
This one is inspiring
The colour is awful and doesn't fit with the landscape.
@@andrewmastrandonas5123 it doesn't have to! And why does that even matter! It's a pop of blue in a sea of green If they move elsewhere, it may. It's like flowers; do all flowers corelate in their surroundings? It still is a beautiful tiny home, esp w/the timber from her childhood. It's what they and that's what's important. I am very impressed, so why can't you be, regardless of the color of the home???
You guys are soooo lucky!! Zero chance in the UK, I've been looking for year. You will NEVER get permission, or find a land owner willing to rent a plot of land...I should have move to NZ when I had the chance!! 😪 enjoy your life, sadly at 60 mine is nearly over...make the most of what you have xx
they are a very attractive couple and have great personalities. I wish them the best, GOD bless them!!
I love it !!! Love how the house and hay bales are the same colour scheme LOL
An old macrocarpa tree from your childhood brought tears of joy to my eyes as I remember the row of macrocarpa trees that lined our fence line around the old house in the Catlins some 60 plus yrs ago. I can still smell them after living in Aussie since 1976 !!!!
It's so special that they were able to use the timber from that tree. It's things like that which just make the home so special.
Yes I noticed the matching green!
Beautiful house, Amazing scenery & what a lovely couple. So good to see you Bryce & Rasa back on the road as it were… I adore all your videos. Take care, lots of love & keep safe xxx
I have been watching lot of channels about tiny houses... But, your way of praising and appreciating every tiny hime is amazing...
So true. Bryce is extraordinarily gifted with interpersonal skills and likability.
It's so moving to me that they were able to utilize the wood from her childhood treehouse... Places like that from childhood are so magical and filled with memories and learnings. It turned what would've felt like a tragedy of it dying and falling over into yet another magical opportunity to turn her beloved treehouse into their beloved tiny house! It totally reminded me of "The Giving Tree," by Shel Silverstein, except without the child's (humanity's) selfish exploitation of it. Rather they used and love the tree as children, and when it had finally lived out its life and fallen over they gave it new life in their home. It's now a sacred memorial that lives on... And they did SUCH a lovely job with the design and workmanship. I absolutely love their home. Beautiful!
Thanks for your beautiful words! Using that tree is one of our favourite things about our house! We love it and we are so stoked we got to share it!
Hermosa casita, la puerta del baño me encantó! Feliz que estén de regreso. Gracias Bryce & Rasa💞
Ahh you're back!! 😀It's GREAT to see you on screen again! You and Rasa must be so happy and relieved to be out and about again doing what you love. God bless you both.
Another lovely home. Wonderful that so many of us are reusing items and materials rather than have that history those memories go to landfills.
using nail polish to create a stained glass window is genius! I've been looking for a way to turn an existing window into stained glass and that would be perfect.
Such a Happy couple Happy home with childhood memories, grandma visits and You and Rasa again with beautiful tiny, mesmerizing camera views, everytime you take me in dreams
Love this tiny house ! A cute house with lots of thoughts and characters. Recycled materials can be stunning amd beautiful. A lovely couple too.
The closing comments are so true! It is fun to see tiny homes reflect the simplicity the movement set out to capture at the start of it all. Creative design. Repurposing. Spaces with great energy. Thanks for the awesome video!
You are such a good presenter, so professional. You let people speak and ask the right questions and you know what you are talking about with everything. The way you present it reminds me a little bit of Kevin McCloud in Grand designs.
living big in a tiny house is a GREAT SHOW thanks for showing us your inspirational show!!!!!!
Love this a tiny house , for simple , convenient , suitable for tiny house.
Aww, I LOVE that cute little stained glass window, and what a creative way to make it.
Beautiful home, it has such a lovely warm and cozy feeling. I love how personalized it is, there's a story to every chosen feature of this house. Truly feels like a home built with love. Well done guys. :)
Aww..how sweet to have her granny
sooooooo happy you are back on the air
Us too!
Lovely parking spot, and beautiful exterior color, wow.
Your last comment sums up what my husband and I always say about the different Tiny houses we see. Any time we view a DIY home we just love it (much like our own - we did it all, with the except of a few days with help from friends). Honestly, just for me, it's a little sad when I see homes made by a company. They don't have the personal touches and charm that DIY houses have. Keep up the great work and let us know when you get to America, we'd love to show you our home.
I love this wee house - and the fact that her treehouse tree was incorporated into the build. And that door window and bathroom door! I totally agree that you don't need a bathroom sink in a tiny house. I have a much larger cabin/small house and I use my kitchen sink for everything! (I also don't have running water or plumbing, and love using an outhouse! No water wasted. And the key to keeping odours at bay is just a small scoop of peat moss after each use. It is sourced not too far away from where I live in Canada.
I agree about not wasting water on a flushing toilet, but without a bathroom sink, parasites, bacteria, and viruses can be spread from toilet use to the kitchen faucet. Then how can they sanitize their hands before handling food?
In the past, sanitation was problematic. Worse now with superbugs/antibiotic resistant germs, plus a pandemic that killed millions and shut down travel.
They may be healthy and strong. What about guests that may not be, like people with a genetically weaker immune system, or one weakened from cancer treatment?
You can look it up....things like Hepatitis A are still being transmitted. I say, don't let your guard down!
@@wownewstome6123 There are all sorts of bacteria on raw meat too and other foods and dirty stuff that gets washed in your kitchen sink. Do you never wash your dirty hands in your kitchen sink? You are making up a problem where none exists.
Nice to see people can have simple values. They look like such a HAPPY couple, I wish them well.
It's so nice that the stigma of being called a bum or a hobo or poor person has been left behind and people now see people like this with respect
I love "The giving tree"
Wow! Love the color, interior, design, parking spot, panoramic view around this tiny house and the most I loved is the amazing evening shots from inside of the house @15:38 and @15:51 💚
Bryce and Rasa, as always I LOVE your content💚
How great it must have been to have a Project Manager - granny, now that was super cool 😀 !
The wood that use to be her treehouse is too cool!
Such a lovely couple . I really love their happy energy ...and it doesn't get more special than using the wood from a beloved childhood tree to make your home. The idea that the tree is still giving shelter is magical ! The only thing I would have to add is an oven for baking ,but other than that it is a perfect home !
What a beautiful home they built! I loved the story of using the wood from the tree of Lauren's childhood, too. And of the family help, as well. This was such a pleasure to view and to hear!
Wow, even recycling her childhood treehouse tree, amazing, love all of it! Thank you 🙏🏻 for sharing!
Such a cute tiny home. Glad to see you back out and filming!
What a sweet couple and a lovely home!
Look forward to your vlogs so interesting
Thanks Angela!
What a delightful, clean, fresh and airy home! And the personnal touches are beyond priceless. I love the "door-window" or, is it a "window-door" ??? 😊 Thank you for showing this home to us. Cheers.
You are a very good presenter, Bryce!
Bryce's face and tone when he repeated "It's a good plant holder" 😆 priceless!
You might both need a bigger house than that when the kids start coming. That's the most beautiful part of a home❤️💙
TRUE tiny house - small, gorgeous and well designed! Thanks!
So very cute they put a lot of hard work into this
Hello👋dear, how are you doing?
My thoughts went to the Wizard of Oz. There is no place like home! This is truly homey and welcoming. Beautiful couple 🙏❤️😘
Hello Karen, hope you don't mind us being friends okay 🌹
Small house, big hearts..
Lovely couple and the fact so much of this was recycled is brilliant. They’ve developed their building skills - and the place really is their own. If young folk are saving for a mortgage deposit and could do a tiny home in a parent’s garden, while they save up, it’s a value learning experience.
I love their tiny and the use of items being recycled.
Hello Karen, hope you don't mind us being friends okay 🌹
When asked about the future....short and sweet..."we're here now and we love it". Wonderful state of mind and heart to be present and live in the moment. Their home shows the beauty of their souls, warm and welcoming. Built with good materials and will last forever.(maybe 1st child's college home😀) Thanks for sharing!
Their enthusiasm is infectious! Gosh. I want to own a tiny house too!
Step 1: Find a man who's interested in one as well 😌
I love your videos :) I'm desperate to build my own tiny house eventually (in the UK :o) and your videos are great inspiration
First I thought nah, not bad but… but from the inside it started vibing- another real beaut🤙🏽
Really nice! The parking spot makes it an amazing place to be. The solar trailer seems so practical.
What a fun couple! 😊
So true. You only need one sink in a tiny home. I’ve only got a bathroom sink (came with cabin) in mine. It works for everything.
This couple will be together forever.
Great attitudes
Great build, most important thing in a build, is insulation in floor, walls, under roof ❤️
Everything in the universe is made from energy. Some energy seems more bright and fun! What a lovely couple and such a lovely home!
Another month and ours should finally be ready
That home is the true spirit of the tiny home movement, nothing fancy and recyclng/upcycling perfect and carbon foot print respected.
My favourite couple so far 💕 they complement each other so well 🥲 love the use of all the recycled materials, such an inspiration and reminder to do the same 🙏
Wow, yet another winner. Love what you guys have done to make it 'home'. That timber was gorgeous - memories live on, eh.
Hello 👋dear, how are you doing?
I love this design, one of my favourites. Nailed it !
Brilliant build! Great idea solar on its own trailer!
Beautiful sustainable design. 🐕🐶
