The Nook On The Hill Is Not Your Average Small Home

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The Nook On The Hill isn’t your average house. Far from it. It’s small in size, but huge in heart. There’s love built into the walls of this home. Memory of friends and family. For its builders and owners, Benj and Holly, it’s a place of sanctuary and healing.
This small house has everything. It’s filled with character and brilliant design. Spatially, it’s an efficient home which boasts all the best qualities of tiny homes and small space design in a slightly larger and grounded structure. It’s solar powered and built with many reclaimed materials. It’s filled with art, colour, and treasured handcrafted items.
Beyond all that though, this home has a character which extends out far beyond its brick and mortar. It tells a deep story of love, loss and perseverance.
We hope you enjoy the tour of this very special home.
You can find out more about Benj, Holly and the Nook on instagram, including videos detailing the build process: / nook_on_the_hill

I am aware though that in the US average home sizes are from the European perspective very extravagant. The thing I would love to see is a tiny home of around 60 m2. If a tiny house can be enough for 2 people with 37m2, and a lot of spaces (bathroom and kitchen) you only need once whether you have 2 people or 4 people... then I think 60m2 should be possible.

    Is that a realistic amount for a small house in Australia? Because $200,000 AUD ($132,560 USD) is crazy expensive for a small house in many parts of the U.S. If I could afford to pay that much, I wouldn't need to shop around for an "affordable" tiny house; I could buy a very nice regular house for less than $130,000 USD.

So would have been cheaper to build a small house or renovate an existing house 🏠.

Dieses Haus ist nicht für Europa geeignet. Wenn es hier friert, im Winter also minus 20 Grad Celsius hat, dann hat das Haus ein Problem. Wenn es dann im Sommer plus 40 Grad Celsius hat, dann verbraucht die Klimaanlage sehr viel Strom, weil das Haus unisoliert ist.

LG aus Österreich. @Lars Stougaard : Yes, a very nice house. Not a Tiny House in the real sense. In Australia, there are probably different requirements for a house than in Europe. This very nice house is thermally inferior because there is no insulation against heat and cold. In Europe, even in Denmark, it is cold in winter and very hot in summer. This house is not suitable for Europe. If it is freezing here, i.e. minus 20 degrees Celsius in winter, then the house has a problem. If it's plus 40 degrees Celsius in the summer, the air conditioning consumes a lot of electricity because the house is not insulated. And as you write correctly, everything depends on many factors, from land prices to building regulations. That's why it can be made for so little money. Many greetings from Austria.

    @wyntersteele1a I have seen many videos on many different houses. One young guy managed to build a cool tiny house for $ 8000. Another couple made a luxury house on wheels for $ 150.000. So depends on your situation and budget and lifestyle /movement. I have seen quite a few people that build or stay cheap or free on family or friends land. Like this video it was his family who owned the land. I guess if you are young, can buy a cheap trailer and start build DIY over 6 - 12 month in your own speed and budget, you could have a very cheap home in the end. After watching 100s of videos it seems to me it always comes down to the question of land and land ownership plus location. I saw a single girl who had made a fantastic tiny house in California, but her land was far away from anything and anyone, she seemed quite sad that so few camed to visit her.

I was homeless for 8 1/2 months ten years ago, not because I couldn't afford a place, but because of the underhanded thing a landlord did to me, kicking me out of his rental place and nearly ruining my reputation while doing it. I was very thankful to get a room in a boarding house just as winter started; stayed there for four long years before finally moving 800 miles away, and now having a sweet little apartment that is exactly what I need, and what I looked for for nearly ten years before finding it, far from my home state and city.

    I love your development throughout your channel from basic tiny houses to small homes by cleverly interlinking the best of both worlds... And I love the respectful note towards the indigenous country at the end of the video ❣️ That is a wonderful thought put to action. ❤️

    This is DEFINTELY one of my favorites. This shows how even the outside area can be just as important as the interior when creating your home. You can see how much time and thought went into every detail of it. They are so consistent with their purposeful small footprint and repurposing of materials in everything. Every episode that shows different sizes and shapes of homes can really inspire people to try to have/create a home similar to these and make it their own.

    I love watching couples build their dream tiny house together, it means so much effort, commitment and communication to build a home both of them are satisfied with. I think it makes them appreciate each other better, and that makes me so happy. Every couple ive seen in this channel has a lovely dynamic.

    Such an incredible beautiful magical house, a genuine treasure of a home with love poured into it throughout ❤️ I rather loved the metal plate designs on the front and I can see that fabulous pull out bed shelf appearing in other small and tiny homes down the line 😊 The bathroom tiles around the door frame are gorgeous and an unusual way of doing that 😍 But your memorial at the end was so touching too ❤️❤️

I love the really tiny houses, but they don't work for everyone, so it's great that this channel showcases some bigger tinies too as it proves that you don't have to either build on a trailer OR live in a huge house - there are some in between possibilities.
