Carpenter Builds Incredible Sculpted Tiny House with Loads of Unique Features!

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This beautiful and unique tiny house has an intricately curved gable roof, a hand-carved barrel door, two spacious lofts, two unique space-saving ladders, a large fireplace, and a full bathroom with a clever hidden storage shelf. The home is a real work of art and we're excited for you to take a tour with the builder, Robert Johnson. He is a journeyman carpenter who designed and built the beautiful Sqlelten tiny house in the Esk'etemc First Nation at Alkali Lake in British Columbia. Sqlelten means salmon in Secwepemctsin and represents swimming against all odds.

And you can stay at the Sqlelten tiny house here:
www.airbnb.ca/rooms/12176690
This tiny house is built on a 20' long x 8' wide trailer and the tiny house is 13'6" tall from the ground up, and has 280 square feet of interior living space including the lofts.
For heat, it has a propane fireplace and electric baseboards. It's nice to have two sources of heat when you're in a cold climate because you have a backup in case the electricity goes out, or the propane tank is empty. The house is skirted and the pipes have heat tape around them to prevent freezing. The water comes from a well, and there is a septic field to filter waste. It's insulated with spray foam.
We absolutely loved getting to visit this tiny house and we hope you take the time to check out the series of videos Robert filmed about the build, and if you're ever in the area, go visit Esk'et and stay in his tiny house!!
Thanks for watching!

    I think this is the best integration of a fireplace in a tiny home I've ever seen. Usually it feels very obtrusive, out of place, and awkwardly positioned, but here it feels organic and ergonomic. *chef's kiss*

    I agree! Every other fireplace I've seen in a tiny house just doesn't feel like it belongs and uses too much space. This fireplace fits in perfectly in the corner and looks beautiful.(at first I thought it was and Ethanol-fireplace) However, in my opinion he shouldn't have put the second door by the fireplace. I would have inserted a window with a seating area or just the open wall and add more seating as well. But overall, a great design for a tiny house

    I just adore the cultural influences around the home. The carving on the front door is amazing. It doesn't seem like a tiny house as it gives the appearance of having more space with the lighter coloured walls and kitchen. The fire place looks nice and cosy but the sofa is lacking that comfy feeling. Great kitchen with plenty of space to move. My only issue is the ladders but that's just an individual thing. Making more of these would be a great idea and it can attract people to come and experience a First Nation Culture. Well done.🇦🇺
