Do not people there need storage for thing? like towels and toilet paper and stuff? that had none! I don't think it's realisitc for even the Philippians. I agree with your ideas though.. I woudnt want my washer and dryer in the back yard and even that cover over the top won't stop rain if it's windy at all so they won't last long in weather. Cute idea but not realistic at all.

Not just seniors a single person would love this too its gorgeous.👍

@@michaelsinclair3321 Drawbacks: No enclosed garage. Thieves, you know. And, imagine how hot all of that concrete would get in a climate like mine: Texas. And, no natural vegetation and no privacy from neighbor noise.

@@michaelmullin7941 Ok Michael you made your points why its not a win win for you but nevertheless it is a nice house that cannot be denied, in regards to the downsides you pointed out, granted security is a big concern today and i agree therefore if there's a concern about the carport just substitute it for a garage, #2 too much brick? Air conditioning throughout is a possibility, #3 from the way this house is situated as well as the wall surrounding it i see privacy and here not too many homes are close to this model, there are flowers and grass and front lawn, inside is decorated nicely but could be upgraded or refurnished depending on the style and tastes of the buyer, really the only thing i would want to add here is a pool and hot tub, a extended patio with outdoor kitchen / grill and some sliders to open the back up leading to the pool then add the rest of the wall with tall greenery around for added privacy and then it would really be a stunner but overall Michael this is a nice home with potential.

Even for small young family, it seems to have considered some privacy there with wall partitions, well designed imo

Too many tiny rooms, open up the space. A couple more large windows would help.

Not everyone’s experience is yours. My house is very cute and I’m perfectly in love with it and don’t find it too small at all

@@kysmik8214 that would be why I said “not everyone’s experience is yours”- because they blatantly said cute is code for too small. I literally pointed out that isn’t always the case and it depends on the circumstances

@@kysmik8214 “Not everyone’s experience is yours.”- means different life circumstances will result in different opinions on whether or not a cute house is too small. “When you call a house cute, it’s code for too small”- their comments blanket calling every cute house too small and not just applying it to their own experience. No where did I invalidate someone else’s experience, I merely pointed out their experience is not everyone’s. They did the blanket statements, not me. I would agree that 3-4 people in a tiny house with one or two bedroom would of course feel cramped and small. I was responding the way I did to point out only that cute doesn’t mean too small, not that cute doesn’t mean small at all or that their cute house isn’t too small for them.

Loll

Same here

Agree

The inteior walls have no thickness.

@@lshwadchuck5643 That's always the issue with these 'concept' plans...

BooHOO!

This small home has more room and storage than all the tiny homes I've seen so it's not that bad.

Tiny house/Apt living is all about just having less stuff

A small or tiny house is not practical. Land in my state is very expensive. A single family dwelling with insufficient storage and food prep room, on a plot of land could house three families with just a very little extra space in stacked housing. This country is experiencing a shortage of affordable housing. Affordable does not have to mean cramped sheds, individual but poorly planned housing for single families or dense housing. It can be stacked triplexes or fourplexes in clustrs that have sufficient closets, sufficient kitchen prep and storage space, shared laundry facilities and shared outdoor space. As a child my family of 6 lived in a 2 bedroom, 1 bath apartment. It was in clusters of two story buildings (8 or 12 apartments in a single building.) Shared laundry and laundry drying yards (which could be dispensed with in today's environment but were certainly energy efficient) were available and there was ample and safe green space for community activities where children played. It would have been perfect with one more bedroom and an additional half bath for 6 people. Each apartment had a small storage shed outside for mops, brooms and other similar uses which could be locked. Each family had a carport space with a very small storage box that also could be locked. Developments like that was common after WWII. It was not run down. It was very cramped with two small bedrooms for 2 adults and 4 small children but it wasn't obviously built for desperate people out of cinder blocks with inadequate space to gather as a family or to invite friends over for family occasions.. it wasn't cramped and ugly as some government built affordable housing was. It was adequate but definitely utilitarian. It wasn't finished with very expensive materials. In this time linoleum plank floors and tile counters would do but families could, within given rules, upgrade at their expense with approved contractors to another counter ginish or floor covering or add dishwashers or portable air conditioning units at the tenant 's expense with the caveat that any improvements were to remaine if the tenant moved. Some might upgrade and some might not, but remaining improvements would not increase rent. Those improved apartments could be rented as they become available to extremely low income and more desperate families who qualify by income. Therefore, the poorest families would get most benefit over time as tenants choose to improve thei apaartments and eventually move out. Some families might choose to live in an unairconditioned apartment and save for a home, others might prefer immediate comfort and live in an affordable apartment long term. Again, that kind of improvement would be at resident's expense, this kinid of scheme gives tenants a stake in maintenance and pride in their dwelling and encourages stability. Those apartments of my childhood were a great first home for young couples. Often they moved from this shared, stacked housing that was very affordable to their first single family dwelling. Later, much later, they were converted into condominiums. Upper apartments and lower ones were combined into spacious two story 3 and 4 bedroom condos and they were not available anymore as affordable apartments for young married couples with kids or sin b le seniors on social security incomes. It was a terriffic loss to the housing stock in my city. With appropriate maintenance and good management such utilitarian but very liveable developments could replace dying malls. Such housing stock, properly built, could serve for many, many years and greatly alleviate housing shortages accross the country. This requires federal, state and municipal investment and cetermination. These developments could be built to conserve energy with solar power and good insulation. They could be green projects but not necessarily entirely solar ones. They could be built to conserve water but not be entirely independendent of current water infrastructure. The green space and roof runoff could be built to conserve water for landscape use. Small community clinics and mental health and addiction recovery services could be incorporated into the whole community. I don't see a downside if politicians would cooperate on all levels to build such developments. They would serve well in a changing climate, be utilitarian without being totally cramped and inconvenient. They would not be tall enough to require elevators or the most stringent engineering for earthquake safety or other environmental stress, but would still meet code for lower rise two and three story buildings. If they were built on former mall properties they would already be near enough to transportation infrastructure and water is already accessible and could be adapted as the units were constructed. Parking would not be a problem either. Why aren't we pressing HUD and state agencies to work with municipalities to construct such communities of affordable housing? They need not be horrible temporary and ugly or very crowded places. It worked for me. Additionally, kids cidn't have a chance to misbehave. There were always adults around who would tell your mom if they caught you with a cigarette or if some kid was a bully. Surprisingly, community pressure worked most of the time and fami.ies that shared courtyards bonded and helped each other. New neighbors were quickly integrated into the community culture without formally bring coerced. d

Wow Plenty of great feedback

Judy Spaulding - I agree!

My sentiments exactly..!

House is probably in the tropics.

I'd prefer one bathroom and make the other a laundry room.

It says it’s in the Philippines! There’s no winter there!

@@Howdyall Compromise: make the second bathroom only a half-bath and put a stackable where the shower is. Always good to have at least two toilets.

Thank you so much 😊

I have a feeling bathtubs are going out of style. As the population ages they become a hinderance and a danger, especially when people use walkers, canes etc. The water used for baths will be cost prohibitive. I see us heading for a shower society, which is not bad. It took some getting used to the idea when first presented to me, but I can see where the advantages will overcome the disadvantages in years to come. My spouse and I play to build our own design and no tubs only showers. VERY nice catch on the grass against the house. That escaped me, but I have seen it in RL and it does tearing up the walls. Costly damage.

@@uselesscause3178 well, try this, if you still have a bath tub. Put the plug in the drain, take a shower, and see how much water you used as compared to a soak in the tub. You will be surprised at the results.

The divider wall between the car port and lanai could accommodate a storage cabinet to quickly round-up otherwise the inevitable gear adrift which in a busy household will happen!

for young and more mature/ seniors or anyone who likes this it's very nice

I'm 58 years old and an empty nester.This would be perfect for me.The extra bedroom would be my guest/ craft room.I especially like the lack of neighbors!😂

Hello how’re you doing?

It's a cascade effect, its water motif. Very hip! (But the roof is not flat it has a slope to drain the water. One side slopes to the left and the other to the right. Look carefully.)

Salamat sir. :)

Its gutter system is concealed mam, it still has gutter... Make sure lang na matibay ang pipings na gagamitin at well sraled para iwas tagas mas magastos kasi magleleak agad sa bahay... At number one marunong ang magkakabit ngbtanyang style ng roofing 😀

Modern homes in most of the Asia-Pacific region are made of concrete, not wood. In the tropics, it can rain for sometime and easily evaporate when the sun comes up and heats the concrete, evaporating remaining rain water.

My neighborhood has 60 homes, built around a greenbelt! So, the end houses have no neighbors, at least on one side or even behind them (backed up to the greenbelt ) They are lucky, I agree!

When they went into the kitchen I thought "Ahaaaa! We're in Italy!"😀

That was an awesome picture of "The Last Supper."

Most people in the Philippines have "The Last Supper" in it!

Glad you like it! 💕

Well if you like living on top of each other maybe. But Im wondering where the utility closet is or the laundry room? lol This works as a guest house nothing more

@@illusionary5951 I didn't notice any laundry hookups. That would be a deal breaker for me.

@@suzyaussie1 Laundry is outside the back door. I think that's why they said 'tropical'.

The dishwasher is added when you move in. The dishwasher is you.

@@michaelduke4500 😂😂😂

@@michaelduke4500 , Exactly! People in the Philippines are used to hard work!

Glad you like it. :)

Thank you! :)

Here in Florida flat roofs help with hurricanes.

I was ready to say the same about the flat roof. No one wants a flat roof. What or where is the gutters, I didn't see any ?

$38,400 in USD, in above description. Depends on area you live in. Hope this helps.

@@sandysimmer1279 this is an excellent alternative to tiny houses. Lot size would be much cheaper. Anyway to include laundry inside? For cooler inclines?

@@spiritofanu3112 Guest bathroom can become the laundry area. Who would expect two bathrooms in such a tiny house? Yet, most everyone wants a laundry area inside.

Instead of laundry outside, convert 2nd bathroom into laundry area. Love it, want one!

Thank you po.

Thank you!

Glad you like it. 💓

Thank you. ☺
