1700sqft may not be especially small, but it sure is a damn fine looking house

Dwell, thanks for showing so little of the house in favor of showing so much of the dude! Amazing editing

"Small house" and "on a budget" are quite debatable ways to describe this house.......

Not just "small," but "very small!" Let's measure this "sustainability" by his electric bill in Nashville, with all that glass. Heating something like this North of Chicago would be a good lesson in financial "sustainability." I'm guessing build cost upwards of $200 per square foot for this tiny house...

Well, the cost of land in Nashville is pretty low and it's obvious that this house doesn't use any costly high end materials or items. As he said, the windows are the most expensive single purchase. According to the article it was $115 per sq ft which is around $200k, that's actually very cheap for the size. My house cost me $250k and is only 1180 sq ft in Phoenix and not nearly as nice as this, although it has some nicer materials.

Somewhere near his definition of sustainable...... He's repeating the word sustainable to greenwash the justification of building the house. It's not a light footprint on the ground and I'm confused about back-justifying the use of monolithic slabs then showing off the extensive use of wood in the rest of the house. Are all those windows oriented for passive effects? That would be a measurement of sustainability. I would not justify concrete as a sustainable material for a house when it is more difficult to replace the Earth's supply of sand rather than replacing trees, which is easy. Let's see his utility bills then let's talk about sustainability. Also, they're called footings not footers, and I'm not a fan of the idyllic countryside retreat with a single-story home, when we should be pushing more sustainable density rather than sprawling. There is no sustainability or reciprocity in land sprawl.

National average. If you compare the cost of his home to the national average of home prices, which would include NY, CA, HI, MA, etc., then that's how he can come up with "affordable". Which I feel like his home is, but I don't remember him saying a price.

Good lord, lot's of negative comments here! First off, the house is gorgeous! Well done Bob! Yes it seems a bit big to be called a "small house" but it is a matter of perspective! The finishes are simple and true to MCM style. Very impressive for a self-taught designer!!!

I wish the video was longer. I wanted to see more of the interior and hear from him about more details. Overall stunning work of art!

Awesome, love how he articulated how glass can blur the lines separating outside from inside, and how it is a whole new wider perspective of the space changes.

I think this is a beautiful space, so open and so very airy. As someone else commented, if he truly designed this himself, and is self taught, then I am thinking that he is indeed an artist. From my own perspective, always having been a city dweller, I wonder about all of the glass and the fact that anyone can just see everything in your home (although he does seem to be surrounded by hedge type plantings all around). More importantly though, I too wonder about the "affordability" of such a place. As always, affordability is again, probably, a relative thing. But I think that the space itself is truly beautiful and inspiring. He created a wonderful place to live.

Beautiful home - each view, each perspective is interresting and pleasing to the eye....

God, I love that modular shelf and desk design. That's just brilliant, and absolutely stunning.

That is NOT a small house! In Finland where I live, that would be considered a large family home! I beg of these designers to start to consider describing houses in terms of actual sq footage/metres rather than by relative terms like “small”...which I think is used very loosely in design as most designers work with clients with crazy disposable incomes and houses that I would mistake for hotels😆

It's a decent size home in the United States too. For your average American family of four. For some reason in the late 90s and early 2000s there was the so-called mcmansion boom here in the states, those houses were 3500-5000ish sq ft.

This video is very annoying. Why the music so it's difficult to make out what the somewhat soft-spoken man with the deep voice is saying? Why the constant quick pans and cuts? It's an architectural video. Take some cues from the people who make architectural videos for real estate sales. Long pans that allow the viewer to understand the size of the room and how it relates to other parts of the house. This is why I don't buy Dwell magazine. The photography is trying so hard to be interesting and artistic, I have no idea what the seemingly interesting house they're featuring looks like.

When he’s talking about ‘affordable house of the future’ he’s talking about the Case Study houses which were his inspiration. It was a collection of designs by architects in an architectural magazine that sort of formed the Mid-Century style of architecture.
