Two of my kids have always shared a bedroom. It's not a giant room, but it's much bigger than their older brother's and my rooms. Now that they're 16 and 14, it's a bit crowded for them. You are so right about needing space, especially teens! We live in an 800 sq ft place and I've been looking into making my livingroom into two rooms, so that I can give then their own rooms. It would be a small room, but at this point my 14 year old would take anything! Lol He's lost hope that my 20 year old will ever move out! He's been saving money, but the rents in our area don't match the wages...even with a roommate. It's part of why I watch these videos. If they make them legal in more places, maybe it would be a better option for him.

The 2 smaller bedrooms are set up as what is called a "walk beside bed," and the best design from the older 1950's 2 story mobile homes.... Like your builder's version, as usually it is a living room on the bottom, and where the lower bedroom has a build in bed, it would have been with a built in couch, and the upstairs over it would be a bedroom. The old mobile homes, 1953 Ventoura, The 1953 Lighthouse Duplex, and the Heinz 2 story mobile home, all came with the walk beside bed upstairs. I had hoped that the new mobile homes would begin to bring in this design, only in a 14 ft by 70 model, which would give a single wide space for 4 bedrooms, all of livable size.

​@CarrieGerenScogginsOfficial , I had to check out what that was you were talking about. I never knew they built 2 story mobile homes. How as times moved forward. I always thought (shows how sheltered I was) mobile homes didn't come out until the 90s, then went from that to manufactured homes to pop up two level manufactured homes, from rvs to vans people lived in fulltime to tiny homes. Interesting how they attempted to build a 2 story or split level mobile homes back in the day.

Best 3 bedrooms tiny home. I seen dreadful ones where the kids can only crawl in their low ceiling bedrooms. This home is ideal....

This tiny house wins hands down for use of space. I especially love how the children's bedrooms were built and the fact that everyone has standing space and closets! What more do you need? Bravo!!!

one of the problems I always see with tiny home builds for families are what to do with the children. When they are small they do not care so much about privacy and such but as they get older they want more and more of it. Your build seems to have taken that into account and future proofed it. Great job!

I've watched dozens upon dozens of tiny home videos and this is my all-time favorite. I have zero criticisms of the layout and design, everything just works (and I *love* that blue kitchen!)

The alternative to a tiny house would then be an apartment.. literally neighbors on top of you, below you, and sharing side wall(s). We came from an apartment and now live in a tiny house at this community and it is a million times quieter. Just something to ponder. I’m not sure why so many people are so thrown off by parking your tiny house closer to other tiny houses but then forget the vast amount of people live in apartments stacked on top, below, and beside neighbors.

Erika, I would say the comparable to a tiny home is more a mobile home park. You've a lot...and you buy the mobile home/trailer. No judgement. I do love the tiny houses but this type of tiny home park is basically a smaller version of a upscale mobile home park.

As for having teenagers, we've found that if you bring the children up being open and talking at family meals then they grow up explaining how they feel and hardly ever any fall outs as long as they can go for a little privacy to there own rooms if need be. Love the fact that your in a lovely community ❤

Even when they share a room it is always helpful to do as you say. I have always talked to and with my children, included them in what is going on in our house. My parents were this way with me. It gives kids a sense of control in their own lives and helps to curb behavior problems. Children should always be heard and seen. Treat your children respectfully and you will earn their respect in return. We talk about everything. My kids know that they can talk to me about anything. They will always get a fair and honest, response from me. When I do get angry, I always try to explain why and apologize if I've over reacted. They do the same in turn with me. Is everything perfect? No, but these kids come to me or a sibling that sends them to me, instead of getting bad information on whatever subject from friends.

Great home. The main thing is being able to stand in all 3 bedrooms!!! First time in all the hundreds of videos I've seen. Beautifully done. Love that the village has a laundromat giving the home extra living space. Wishing all the best to this lovely family. ❤️

This tiny house is frickin awesome. Massive in size with enough room for everything needed for a family. Well Done to this young family for going for it and being much more financially better off. ❤

They did an amazing job with those cute little bedrooms for the kids. Also, they seem like really nice, grounded people.

The tetris room step up for the children is genius 👍🏽

The fact that they have a ton of salt lamps within their home is a huge hit for me🥰 the community is awesome…I don’t know any of my neighbors, it’s like everyone is afraid to speak so I love this…

I watched so many tiny house videos and most of them were really cramped but this one looks pretty liveable. I love how the kids have their own space and the full size shower is also a very huge plus for me.

We were amazed at how spacious it felt while still being so functional. Not easy to achieve in a tiny home!

I love this house a lot. You can actually stand up in the bedrooms, and it has a lot of windows for natural lights and air. Excellent job, designer!

I have lived in a senior mobile home park for 22 years, so I’m used to living small, but not tiny. This tiny home is beautiful, and it would actually be too large for me! I’m impressed with both the kitchen and the bathroom, and the living room is plenty large. Every inch of space is intentional which is how I try to live my life. I live the idea of the community group for visits and bonfires, etc. This was really relaxing to watch as well…what a great family!

You know what, I would love them as my neighbors. They're so nice and thoughtful. Also shout out to all the teachers and educators!

Best family friendly tiny home where you can fully stand in ALL areas of the house!! Well done to the designer! Also such a well bonded neighborhood. Lovely 😍

This is one of the best builds I’ve ever seen. So functional and creative. Incredibly spacious for a 3 bedroom house. I love that they can stand comfortably in every space. I would make some slight tweaks, but only very slight (like I would probably arrange the bathroom a little differently). I love how they comment on the tiny house community. I think it takes a certain mindset to go tiny, so no matter how different they all are, they definitely have some priorities in common. Finally, this couple definitely has the right mindset for this lifestyle. They seem like good people and I’m pretty sure that they’re raising two more good people. Well done!

This was an exceptional one! Beautiful house, lovely family and many pearls of wisdom. That community is something we all need.

The kids look so happy! So glad you were able to buy your own home and are in a supportive community. What a great design for a tiny home!

This house was designed in such a way that I could see them growing into the tiny house rather than outgrowing it. Lovely design.

Her excitement talking about her home makes it even more beautiful

This definitely is a home, not just a tiny house. A bedroom where you can actually standup, and room for the kids. The fact that you want to give them exposure to their neighbors is such a beautiful thing. A sense of community. Keep up the good work mom and dad. 😇👍

I love the "community" aspect of this build/tiny home. The kids are going to feel supported in this lifestyle and eventually realize that getting along with others -- no matter what your values or politics -- is a clear path ahead for living. For a short time - 2 years - me and my daughter (age 9 - 11) lived in an apartment complex where everyone was close. Her friends lived there. My friends lived there. It was communal without being too much.... hard to describe... but it's made her a better member of whatever "village" she's a part of! To this day.

The house is amazing the outside is amazing. I love how there surrounded by other tiny homes. This family is beautiful i love this for them❤️ #goals

"...round our rough edges a little faster." Well said. Love this tiny house. Hope this family enjoys it for many years to come!

This is my favorite tiny house because of the thought put in for the kids.......having thwir own rooms and standing space is amazing

i love that they’re kids have their own individual space. Have two kids very different in age (17 & 3) that’s my biggest concern. I feel like i’d be punishing them by forcing them to go tiny too, but i think having their own cool spaces like this, it might make it exciting. We would absolutely have to go toward the larger square footage of tiny homes, but this gives me hope it could work.

I love how the builder did the two separate spaces for the kids; they have room to stand and grow into the space. I am a lover of bedrooms where you can stand for longevity as we grow old and sometimes time is not kind on the knees and backs. I can see how this can work long-term. This was a very well-thought-out build. I hope your children do appreciate the bonds they will forge and the friendships they can build with their neighbours. It is like living in the Caribbean

What a great family and home. It is wonderful how the parents found a way to give their kids their own separate rooms :)

I love the community aspect. I live in a condo community of 300 units and know only about 5 people. LOL! 😆 I’m pretty sure that’s my own fault for not getting more involved.

You have a marvelous home....one thing that I always think of when people are talking about the tiny house experience 🙃 is that nearly everyone on the world lived tiny up until about 1900s. And without all the modern kitchen/ bath nuances and they had lots of kids!

SO well designed!! this tiny will last you for another 10 years before you have to think of future plans!! Perhaps build a small one each for the kids to take to college 🥰 and they will always have their own spaces.

The beauty of having this unique kind of home is you get to be more connected to each member of the family. There a lot of chances that you can see everyone and create a bond instantly. I can see how it can affect their life positively as a family. ❤

I love the " hahaha! Tiny house!!" attitude... Well done you two.

I wish there were more places to have houses 400 square feet or less in the U.S.!

Hello Mary how are you doing!!

I love this home and this family 💙 great design and use of space. Very thoughtful to include all members of the family during this design process 👏 bravo parents and builders.

Even if it was unintentional with cost, the unfinished walls look very natural in the space, especially with the deep blue

The kids rooms are awesome!! Ive never seen anything like that in a tiny house before!!!! How fun!

I love how you thought of the kids and their privacy. Great home.

The house is well designed, but my favorite aspect is the community connection. The saying goes "it takes a village" to raise a child, and these children growing up in this setting will reap the benefits of the collective wisdom of their neighbors with the safety to explore, learn & grow along side friends near their age. What a wonderful gift: Living with intention, without the push to acquire things rather than experiences & memories. Kudos to the families that have embraced this lifestyle!

Even though you say the walls are unfinished, it doesn’t look like you have to do anything to it. It actually works so well with the kitchen cabinet colors and the furniture. The catwalk is definitely a smart idea to utilize space for display and storage. Overall, your home is beautiful❤

Loved that design. Best use of a small space I've seen.

The master bedroom is brilliant with being able to stand and having a computer space.
