The first few minutes are gold! I love how she says with full belief, zoning for a swimming pool is the same as what we are building 😅❤️

Now, I would not mind one of those houses! Especially that the bedroom area is on the ground level, and not a little tiny cramped nook accessible by a ladder....No treehouse bedrooms for me, thank you very much!

Truly one of the most architecturally clever, economically sensible and functional tiny homes I've seen (lack of utilities aside). In the end, everyone will have their personal opinions on virtually everything you do, but they seem happy with it and that's the bottom line that we're all reaching for anyway.

Very nice design. Most beautiful tiny house I saw via internet so far.

Kirsten Dirksen, I really love your videos of these tiny homes !! Love them

with all the empty houses and cities built over in spain, you added a shed.

How creative! I didn't realize until halfway through that this is the same couple that converted the abandoned stable into a dream home.

Great house, love how the lady took time to make a hous that fits her needs, nothing extra and that they took soo much into consideration for it to be natural part of enviroment.

In general I like the idea - but have a few comments: 1) Never a good idea to have edges exposed to the weather, even if it is a protected substrate. For example why not have the roof overtop the end panels. 2) This material on the roof is probably not conducive to rainwater collection, which I think would be important in remote areas. 3) The video does not address waste water - is there a holding tank?

If they added solar panels to the design it would be a even better and cost effective design.

We lived in trailers and even a railroad boxcar as kids. Poverty makes the memories hard, but it's fun to see the updated version of a small space done with more joy. I worry about fire coming across that dry grass and up under the structure. Perhaps you're planning to create a defensible area around the house and green it up a bit. Take care and enjoy your new place. I love it.

There is something very appealing about this tiny house. I love the inside-outside feel, especially shown at dusk at the end of the film. Very satisfying, I would imagine.

This would be more appropriate as a weekend getaway house rather than one for everyday living.

put the feet on while its hanging...then lower to blocks...duh!

By far the most beautiful tiny home I've seen so far!

Beautiful. I watched another video with these guys on a outstanding countryside stone restructured stone building ...the one with the cows lol and man these guys do a brilliant job on their builds!

Here we have manufactured homes. Sometimes they go on a permanent foundation. Sometimes I see them on cement blocks.

This is incredible! The few questions I immediately have is: 1) how much does this cost? 2) can it be installed with a portable battery? (preferably hydrofuel) 3) Where exactly does this flush to? I reckon that there should be a separate compartment, that you can empty out or use for a compost. (seems really fitting with the countryside lifestyle) 4) These two massive boards that cover the front door... why don't they open up? It would be a great way to create a veranda! Or perhaps they can open down to create a floor, and then have a plastic cover that comes out. I really think that not using the front panels for some sort of veranda is a bit of a waste. 5) Can this survive heavy winds or a tornado? Perhaps with extra strong foundation? 6) Also, does it have a (gas) heater? It has hot water, so I assume it should also have a heater This is incredible though! If this costs under 20 000 (preferably 10 000) then it's perfect for absolutely anyone :)

great house. Liked the reveal of the windows after all the drama of positioning.

Umm. The Electrical box for the house is right above the sink next to the steamy shower?

This is a SHED, just a large shed. Nothing wrong with that, but that's all it is. I have one in my backyard. And the covering on the outside of this shed is really just stucco on particle board. Where are the window screens? I'm not impressed.

Video very well done. Thank you, Kirsten, for your wonderful videos, which are really short films that tell a story.

Sleek, sustainable, sensible. A+

It's a mobile home (via drop-off trailer) period ...and that's how the local governments will treat it in the U.S.

Anytime you try to "skirt" zoning regulations by "comparing" an installation of a pool to a home, you are playing with fire. All it takes is ONE building inspector from the city or municipality you are "living" in to simply say: "You have permission to build a pool. You do not have permission to 'install' a home. Either remove this within 30 days or we will hire a bulldozer at YOUR expense to remove it." These ridiculous comments about "the pads" being the same as the pool are exactly that, ridiculous. One of the major problems with finding affordable housing in many "expensive" areas is that the locals do NOT want portable structures near them because they tend to lower property values. All it takes is one complaint and you're investment in this structure is nil, because you have no place to put it. sanjosemike

Beautiful, if I hadn't built my tiny house yet, I would have something similar built. I really love it.

Thank you for all these in-depth longer videos Kirsten and crew! I don't like the outside look of the building, but I like the functionality, design and ideas built into the house. I think I'd want screens in the windows too, to keep out the bugs. The floor plan is great, simple, lots of light and space, wonderful.

I really like this, wish they were in the U.S.

Great work. That's an awesome house. There are many families living in spaces this size, but the 'quality' is nowhere near as nice as this.

I have built similar structures in the US and it is better to use concrete monolithic pour because wood will rot and shift. Speaking from years of experience with structures that require a similar foundation it pays to put a concrete monolithic pour. This can be leveled again and straightened by adding another concrete pad, but the wood will rot and then it has to be completely removed and another one added. Over time this will become more costly than using a monolithic pour.

This is among my favorites of the tiny houses. The inside is VERY nice and the way the rooms are organised is great. Still, I can't imagine more than one person living in 290 sq ft. The prices are high because this is in Europe and things here are a lot more expensive, especially any kind of housing. It comes move in ready and all you have to do is put it on a foundation and hook it up to the electric and sewer.

The City Hall of Madrid would love to make a visit to this hipster house... need foundation? need permit!! even if you place a mobile house on wheels, here they ask for permits because in the end you'll use it as a static house (an "inmueble") and you will need plumbing, septic system, electric service... "connected" to the ground. People often ask for a small permits just in case local police pass by so they can see that they are making "something legal" but the main reason is that a permit for a pool is incredibly cheaper than a permit for a house ¬¬ The building codes can change from one city to another, but saying something like "I don't need a permit because this is something new" is just bullshit. You are not parking a hippy van. You are not building a pool. For me these people are just snobs trying to make money selling expensive sardine houses with fake permitless arguments... and here in Spain, this sentence is very common: "in the end, the cheap becomes expensive"

Love this... Such beautiful design, and simplistic concept (but far from simple!)... The use of concrete is visionary also, especially in that area of Spain, as perfect, no, more perfect than tile and marble for its thermal properties. Although small, I'd say it was size of my flat (if you minus the room I don't use) but the linear layout makes it appear more functional...and a very adaptable shape/size ie could insert a loft for more sleeping/mini snuggle cool loft. Stunning workmanship, absolutely stunning, the attention to detail and eye for lines is spectacular. If I lived in a warm country, I'd have this....

Berelore -- I was wondering about that too. To add to that, my claustrophobia would have me worrying that someone would close me in while I'm sleeping. I would want locks to hold them open. Actually, if they could be made to slide on tracks and be operational from inside, you could secure yourself in at night. Even with that, I would need an escape hatch. Hmm... Let's take this a step further. Set the house so it's facing east or west. Have the same wall of windows and glass doors on the front and back. In the morning, open the panels on both sides and watch the sunrise. When the sun gets too bright from the east, close the east panels. When the sun moves around to the west, close the west panels and open the east. Of course, be sure to open the west panels in time to watch the sunset. ...Yes, I think way too much about this stuff. And yes, I know draperies would create the same effect, but it wouldn't be nearly as dramatic.

Good attitude to life. I live in a mansion that had been in my family for generations but sometimes I yearn for a little house like this.

In the remarks I found many people disapproving this tiny house. You could sell your mac mansion for a million or so and start exploring live and live in this tiny place . Sell it to one of the people in the remarks on this project and they can experience that happiness doesn't mean size.

wim lammens Yep there are many dissadvantages the main one being cost. The constant maintenance the huge fuel bills and even having to walk such a distance to go the toilet in the middle of the night.

Jacqueline Diaz Yeah - I hear you... I live in China. But I really like this idea - think it is really cool. I just think you could sell the idea more effectively by making the video a little differently. Anyhow - good luck to you.

Jacqueline Diaz Not thing made in the USA is superior. Too small brain to accept the difference from others.

wtf are you gonna store? Why do you need stuff you dont use? Sell it baby. Just dont sell your baby

Very impressed !

This would make an ideal second floor sitting on top of shipping containers.

Seems like they just declare it as an office container meanwhile they are building the real house. Spanish restrictions won´t let you live in there. I am an architect in Spain. It is the same like in other countries.

That’s too bad, I had hoped some countries would be a lot more open and free about this whole thing… in the Netherlands where I live this is hardly possible.
