Aussie Aussie agreed! If I were to switch to tiny living I’d want this!

SUPER AGREE!

I agree totally that she made it bigger than the usual tiny house films I have seen. I think by not compromising she certainly got what she wanted and when I saw her 2nd loft area well that certainly nailed it for me. I think this is one of the best designed tiny house I have seen. Though I wonder who built it for her, her dad, a company? It is lovely that her father has such a big piece of land as that would have pushed up the cost. I wish Helen the very best in her superb tiny home.

@@lieuwina She said it's custom work.

Aussie Aussie You said it all !!!👍🏻

Me too!

@@cheese_wrld Me to. Stunning.

Me three. I love her second loft...

I am joining the squad! Such an outstanding home!

One of the nicest house on the show.

Kathy G, exactly....I don't like the bathroom right next to the kitchen or the washer in the bathroom. This is good..

I made a list of my favorites and I would combine them all in one but this one I like the most because it has so much space for a tiny house, love it!

Same, I watched almost 60 videos from this channel, and this would be the perfect for me :D

YES!!! THIS TOTALLY ROCKS!! I love that she has colorful and mostly a big comfy soft sofa and storage in it!! Love love all the closets and also tbe stairs are not so obvious..and the amazing kitchen .the huge deck and just designed the best I have ever seen!!!!!

I love this

Yesssssssss

I think she only needs to put a barrier at her bedroom she may fall on sleeping.

@@ArChi285 people rarely fall of the bed when sleeping, if that happens something isn't right with the person's mind or body (drunk or sick).

@@availanila that rare is the exception😀

5ko 100% agree.

Me too

@@christinafreedom895 Totally agree. Love the standing lofts and the full size sofa. Often I look at tiny house sofas and think I could never be cosy on that. Only criticism would still have liked to see more wood and natural materials. Inspirational though.

I agree 👍 They should use it as a model and mass produce them. They'd definitely sell❤️

*ᑌᑎᑕᕼᗩIᑎᕮᗪ *ᗰᕮᒪOᗪY it already is a model, I’m not sure why she didn’t mention that. It’s the Pokutukawa model from Tiny House Builders nz.

Is it a tiny home or an echo home? Am from Kenya and am planning an eco home.

Yes, I like that too!!!

Yes! Although it may not be, I think a bathroom next to the kitchen is just unsanitary.

planning to have one like this but instead of 2 lofts I want an undersized 2 bedrooms (7 foot ceiling).It would feel like a normal house for us small people lol

Thanks for sharing your tiny house very beautiful, nice floor plan and a nice young woman with great ideas and glad I stumbled on this tiny house tour. Plants are nice 👍🙏🙏👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I felt the same until she said $140k !

@@mssharonqueen My opinion completely...where is this place????

Patricia Lecroy AU or NZ

I agree. Best home I have seen. I too am after a forever tiny home. Best design so far. If I could find a budget version it would be a dream.

I too keep looking for the walking or standing space designed in to the upstairs lofts! Why don’t more people do it I wonder. It’s well worth losing a bit of space from the kitchen or bathroom underneath. In a kitchen that couple of feet is usually just cabinets. I can’t imagine crawling In to bed every night. I do love the design of this house. Kitchen on one end bathroom on the other.

It certainly does help to increase the living space a lot. It’s nice to connect a small home to the outdoors.

@@livingbig she can have more people in there without it feeling stuffy

Exactly... That's looking spacious

Nneka Otika I know right...

Nneka Otika Nneka! You’re Nigerian! Girl I bought a townhome but I want to build a tiny house in the next three years. Like I can’t get over the idea. But I can just hear my family 😂😂 Also, the cost shocked me. $140k is a lot for a tiny home. But I guess if she’s not paying for the land and the house is cheap to build then in reality she’s still saving.

@Last Call Take your negativity off the vid

Thanks Tom!!

She is very lucky her Ma & Pa gave her the site! That's always the biggest cash dilemma - & is why very few actually achieve this self build dream!

@@livingbig Hey Helen will u design my house ? What'll be your charges? 😘😁

I'm serious 🤗

Absolutely. It’s wonderful to see how in love with her home she is. :)

i love that your parents helped and what blessings they get also.

jaafar kassim On point :). She deserves it. I’m so happy for her :)

I couldn't agree more! I love Helen's house she should name the tiny estate. Helen's Hideaway or something like this. As for Bryce he's a stallion and a peach on the inside! Sweetest heart in all of NZ. Sending hug vibes from the Rockies in Colorado USA. ❤❤❤❤❤ much love for Bryce the amazing unicorn 🦄 host of hosts. 💚💚💚💚💚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚🦚

Yes!!! These people who build a glorified bench that makes the space look like a Dentist’s waiting room...not good! I’m not keen on the way her downstairs sofa just looks out into nothing, but I do appreciate that if she’s having friends or family over they can’t all climb up into that loft to sit on the sofa. For me, a living space has to be cosy and slightly enclosed, which is what I love about the 2nd loft: hidden away in a cosy little bubble up there! Lovely.

Jo March I totally agree about the benches with cushions. Of course, since I have back problems, I know that can’t really be comfortable.

Yes and the kitchen is great. I loathe "Galley Kitchens" . This is best kitchen I've seen in Tiny Homes

I love your comment so inspiring

lacunablack I thought so too but it’s the Pohutukawa model by Tiny House Builders NZ.

Good to know

Not a bad idea!

Agreed! Well said. Also, what Bryson said 8:55

Even space for a guest futon or air mattress in the second loft!

It's a beautiful home but personally since I have a little fear of heights, I am not fond of the ladder, especially coming down😵

@@genevievemarie9427 Same here. I was thinking that I would probably replace it with a little walk-way to connect both sides. Otherwise, it's a great design.

baby bum

Some great choices there! Really glad you enjoyed this tour. Thank-you for watching!

Beautiful!! As always I enjoyed your tour!! I am addicted to your tiny Home videos..God Bless my household task as they have been on hold sinse I discovered your channel..lol I'm happy for you young lady!! Enjoy your home as it is lovely

I hope this makes Bryce's Top 5 of 2019. It's outstanding!

Exactly

Yes, some architects could learn a lot from her. Brilliant design!

This is an exact replica of one of Bryce’s first house tours! The one with the climbing wall. I’m surprised no one else has pointed that out yet. Thats maybe 4 or 5 years ago now so maybe most people haven’t been following that long?

@@larsean4507 I remember that one too!

@@larsean4507 I saw the climbing wall house, but that one didn't have the same type closets and bathroom, did it? I thought the kitchen was different, as well. I'll have to re-watch that tour!

She used an architect, I think.

The steps to the loft and the outside space.

Features similar to MsDollyTinyHouse. I really like her home and the way she made the similarities her own.

O didn't catch the dimensions. Anyone knows?

Its a wonderful design and I love how she has handpicked so many features from a lot of the tiny houses that suited her needs and aesthetic. When I get to build mine it will be the same and what Ill take from this design is that little passage area and laundry I really like that idea.

Agreed so many of the houses you have highlighted have allowed all of us to see items we each would like for our own style.

Yes, please!

Me three!!!

Me, four!

Me as well,it’s really so sweet and well organised

yea but not for 140,000

@@fin9131 That's not American dollars.

@@ccjjpp1966 it's still almost 100k in USD though.

@@fin9131 if she did the labor herself the cost in USD would have been about $47,000

Kanesha D. And? Where would you buy a decent house for that amount of money????

Totally agree!

Agree 👍 👍 👍 👍

@@kenjarvis7764 indeed

Brilliant 🌺 It's SO nice to see a home without the fashionable grey...

The best concept about tiny houses are their happy owners! Dont we love to see someone enjoying their dream!

Thanks Hunter! :)

Agreed!!!

i like it. but the loft rail is to even with the bed a bad sleeper could fall out of the bed and would be a i drop

@@horacenapier4829 maybe a small railing would be a quick and effective fix

Wow! I'm 6'3" and was saying the same thing. I just love it. But alas that kind of build would set me back a pretty penny since I live in Barbados and for the money that she spent, I may as well just go ahead and get a regular sized house. It's super expensive to live here.

@@karend6748 she said it included the appliances though. And she has some bougie appliances so maybe if you dont buy appliances yet, then you can build something like this

​@@karend6748 If you live alone why would you buy a house? This is enough room for 1 person even 2 and it's a lot easier to clean then a full size house.

@@nenadpopov3601 note where I said I lived. It's an expensive country. Would make more sense to build a real house for the same money. And I don't live alone either. Even "cheap" appliances and furniture etc are expensive here. My best bet would be to get more bang for my buck. But it's a wonderful tiny house.

@@karend6748 Then check out Earth ship houses, its a lot cheaper to make and you can build it as big as you want, and it's a great insulator so no need for air condition.

Agree 👍 👍 👍

She definitely has picked from lots of my favorite homes. Such a great job in this one.

Do you think to build one house like that .......

It’s really high quality and efficient design, but idk about the price. Seems a little high, lol. But I guess it depends where you are. I own this (Small, here.) 1,500sf, three bedroom, two car on 1/4 acre in Grand Prairie, Texas, and the value has quadrupled to $160k since I bought it cash in 2009. But this one is stuck in the ground, while she can move hers! She’s very pretty, btw.

Agree 👍 👍 👍

It does make a huge difference in this design. Very clever layout!

I always thought 2,5m is max that is allowed. Well, could be only here in Europe.

@@shara-la8629 to transport the homes you can only be 2.5 without permits or a towing company

I think so

@@shara-la8629 over 2,5m (2,45m I guess) it's an exceptional convoy and to move it, it's gonna cost much,much more...

Thanks Angela!

That is absolutely true, I started watching tiny house videos on this channel, and honestly, I find other channels not pleasing to me. The tours are so amazing! Good work Bryce

I like how genuinely enthusiastic he seems about the whole thing. He makes sure to showcase everything he can, while keeping things moving at a good pace. It's nice

‘2-4 videos a day’ you’ve got me feeling so guilty 😂 I spend a whole day watching them miss a few and spend a whole other day watching again 😂

Thanks so much for your lovely comment. So glad that you're enjoying our videos. Thanks for watching!

My pleasure! Something I'm always curious about is how to come down some of the more 'challenging' looking loft ladders. I appreciate it greatly when you include showing that as well (even if it might not be the most graceful thing to watch ; )

Thanks and totally!

@@livingbig I totally agree! You do have the best of any type of KZfaq show I've watched. You were made to be in front of the camera and you, and/or your wife, are excellent with editing and sound.

@@livingbig This is a really wonderful option, but one need consider every aspect of this living. I would have way too many clothes to do this, and space would be too limited for me.

It's very expensive for the location, but very efficient on space. It'd be fantastic in a city where property was at a high premium.

that extra 2 feet in width ~really~ matters in a tiny house.

@@alanedark1538 True - they are all living in their parents property. Ha

@@alanedark1538 I'm fairly convinced that in New Zealand -where i'm from- parents who can help, will help, out of kindness; whether they're rich or not! And secondly, that you seem to have a problem with this virtue...somehow accusing and confusing 'a helping hand' as 'spoiling' the children through privilege. Truly, if you're not from here, you really don't understand the attitudes here. I have fairly poor parents, but they always helped me as much as they could, out of sheer kindness and i'm am filled with gratitude for all they sacrificed. Helen is a beautiful soul filled to the brim with gratitude; no doubt this was instilled by her parents' attitudes.Take a look at your own judging vibes.

@@anjelt2137 That was not her first jealous, judgmental post on this vid.

Thanks so much! It’s getting to be a wee bit of a challenge now. I’ve done so many of them I always am trying to remember if it’s too similar to something I’ve said before. :) glad you enjoy them!

Should be for $140k

Hi

Empire I so agree with you. It's quite awesome.... I'm not a blue person, but having that shade on the outside then carrying it inside WITHOUT over doing it makes it really nice. Think I could get used to BLUE pretty quickly!! 💙😁

Really is and I love that its her goal to make it her permanent home and not just a phase

Helen is such a wonderful person. We really enjoyed getting to know her.

Glad you like it!

Art of this tiny house was amazing

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in german: Ich stimme zu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very very nice i am farzana im pakstane

Maybe more organic but a lot less efficient. Don't get me wrong I love tiny houses but it's not for everybody and it most certainly is not as efficient compared to an apartment complex.

@@taserrr In what capacity are you referring when you say "...not as efficient compared to an apartment complex"? I suppose that would depend on how much sq. footage you are talking about and at what rate of rent you are paying, and what kind of lifestyle you prefer. In an urban setting you may have 500-600 sq. ft. at $2000 per month and over 30 yrs. at that rate(which we all know won't stay at that rate) you would have paid $720,000+ and nothing to call your own! Aside from that, you don't have authority to change much, accept maybe paint but then, you'd have to repaint back to the way it was if you move, otherwise they'd deduct it from your deposit, even though they'd do it anyway after you leave! 😳 And you generally don't have a yard or space for plants or outside entertaining when the weather is nice. And if you want to have a party, well, you have neighbors right on the other side of your wall(s) and/or up or downstairs! And if you or your neighbors have kids, well, there's that 'neighbors' thing again! If you want pets, you are limited to how many and even what species. Most places these days require deposits of $100-$1000 PER pet PLUS pet rent of anywhere between $25-$100, again, PER pet! 👿 You may not have a designated spot to park your car if you have one, either! So, yeah, depending what your lifestyle is! I say, give me the small house on a 1/2 -1+ acre plot, where I can grow some food, have bbq's/parties with as many guests as I can fit on the property(till 3am if I want), have as many pets as I can financially care for(saving them from being euthanized at the shelter), and being far enough away from the neighbors that we can't hear each other fart in the middle of the night, all for about 1/2 -1/3 of the price of renting over the long haul! 😱😎😺

The way we started :). We need to make chances. Demand changes.

@Grete Helena Spotted the closet-communist. She wants to tell everyone how to live.

Birds and ants had built their own houses since the beginning of time.we humans are becoming more greedy and too much as times passes.I too had converted into simple living after becoming the victim of this extreme "modern" lifestyle repeatedly.throw away the prozac...say yes to simple life.back to basic

Thanks and best of luck with your earthship!

I feel an earth home would do me well also. Just have to wait a little longer.

😂😂😂

Yeah, I’ve also notice that Fiona. Or in other cases the small home owners have made a long term arrangement with a farm owner. But another argument, and it all depends on where you have to live. Well in my country there is plenty of available bare land with running water for sale and (within reason) affordable. But I’m not talking in the CBD of any city or town. So, if you didn’t have to commute to work each day, what would it take to build yourself a very comfortable home, off grid. On your own land without a mortgage???? In this video, the young woman, who I absolutely love, has the option of saving her savings in very high Auckland rent prices and one day purchase her own bare land and relocating her wide tiny home. She could purchase up north if she hates the cold or purchase in Taumarunui if she loves remoteness and the cold.

yah, I agree..I would love to do this but cannot afford it without a parent...yup

Sherri Lynn, Google “Landshare” check it out. Heaps of people have found a low cost lease for a tiny house

kokokokok did she say 140,0000 >!!! she built it for the price of a house
