Full tour of a tiny luxury treehouse! The Birdhouse Retreat is a 160 square foot treehouse that was self-built by a custom home builder in Chilliwack BC. It's perched 12 feet off the ground and it's perfectly nestled in a grove of cedars. The interior design has beautiful attention to detail and there isn't a single wasted inch of space in here.
You can follow and find out more about The Birdhouse Retreat in Chilliwack BC:
/ bctreehouse
www.airbnb.com/h/thebirdhouseretreat
The treehouse has a functional entrance with hooks and shelves for storing coats and shoes, the full kitchen has loads of storage for food and dishes, the book nook has a cozy love seat that folds out into a guest bed, and the loft bedroom has a Queen-sized bed with two big skylights for stargazing. The water closet has a toilet, and the outdoor shower is below the house and it's fully functional year-round.
Access to the house is via a cable suspension bridge that bounces as you walk along it to accentuate the feeling of being elevated off the ground.
This is a very cool space and we're so glad that we got to meet up with Ben to see how he managed to design and build such a unique and functional tiny space.
Thanks for watching!

Interesting design, I especially like how you changed the closet on the fly! :D And the exterior is just about perfect. I have never seen such a well-finished Tiny House, period, and having this in your portfolio ought to be a major plus! However.... I think if you went 10% larger you would have a much more enjoyable final product. The hot-plate in a drawer is one thing, but an exterior shower? In Washington State?? Not sure how the girls will feel about that. Also concerned about the AC unit right there on the bed, and the lack of blinders for the skylights. As for the footbridge.... heh, who amI kidding, I would have done exactly the same thing! :D But the thing that got me was you mentioning wasted space while you appear to be standing IN wasted space! If I ever go this way, I would install a front door that opens OUTwards.

Unique and beautiful inside and out! Wonder if he has plans to add a bathroom sink. I see two types that may work: one is in video "Tip Up Folding Boat Sink" As you fold it into the wall, it drains through a drain tucked inside the wall. The second is the 'over the tank' type, so your wash water becomes the flushing water. Better than flushing with drinking water! Personally, I would also want to see EM exits from the loft and downstairs area He did an amazing job. Just beautiful!

Wow, look at the talent this young man has! Very impressive! Only 1 item I would change or clarify if this were my house. I have no building experience so not sure how feasible it would be. So, I can't tell which windows open and didn't see any screens over them. I would def need those upstairs windows to open and the house to have cross breeze ability. Just me, I need fresh air and love to listen to the natural sounds.

That is so beautiful!! One thing I wish you'd include on the video production end is what the builders or owners had to go through to get their Building Permits, & ultimately their Certificate of Occupancy.. I'd appreciate that on every alternative build you showcase. It would be different for different types of building, and also in different States, Counties, & Towns, so it wouldn't be the same every time & feel repetitive.. To include this info would also encourage people by taking the mystery out of these processes, & showing them it's not as difficult as they may have imagined it to be.. That's my elevator pitch. Hope you at least consider it... 😎👍
