When the zoning of his land changed, Christo turned lemons into lemonade. Instead of building a THOW, he built on a foundation. This allowed him to build wider & taller--perfect for adding an epic recording studio! He used mostly reclaimed wood and salvaged & recycled materials in a truly mind-blowing way. BTW, all the music in the episode is written & performed by him! 👉 *WATCH a succinct look at a high-quality tiny house build process & amazing park model tour:* kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pMeWZLKf2ayromQ.html

I'm Christo's sister, and I can tell you it's even better in person. It's like standing inside a work of art. I'm so proud of him and all he's done.

So...he's a musician, a maker of instruments, a sous chef, a woodworker, a carpenter, a builder, an interior designer...Basically a modern day Renaissance man with unmatched vigilance and skill.

Number one: this guy is fascinating! Number two: his house is incredible! Number three: his house is a reflection of him, so… number four: this guy is incredibly fascinating! Kudos to you, Mister!

This is by far the most amazing, inspiring and absolutely beautiful “tiny” home I’ve seen so far. I can not believe what I’m seeing. He’s a freaking genius😮

I don’t think I’ve ever been so much in awe of someone and he seems so humble about the whole thing The house is magnificent

Christo is a true artisan. As a woodworker/cabinet maker, I can appreciate the amount of work that went into creating this house. The way he created the space, with the overall color scheme throughout, and the use of different wood species to create that color scheme is amazing and harkens back to the Craftsmen era. The way he designed the storage around the appliances is creative and awe-inspiring with its symmetry and balance. The most impressive home I have ever seen. I would take this home over any million-dollar mansion in a heartbeat!

This home should be in a museum. Absolutely stunning work. ❤❤❤

This is actually a tiny home I could imagine living in. Best one I've ever seen BY FAR.

Wow ! I can never look at a tiny house in the he same way again. This is the most incredible tiny home yet. Truly built by an artist.

As an architect specializing in studios and ADU's since the 70's, I seldom respond to most designs in this design area, but this creation reflects the owner in its expression of warmth and natural beauty. Kudos for an impressionable effort so rare in this nearly sterile movement of just enough space.

Wow. I am blown away by this. I am a woman, and the masculine aspects of this build are so warm and inviting. He used so many items that I will use in my own tiny and respect the use of found and reused items. I hate to see so much waste in this world. Thanks for this!! 💜💜

This is literally the best tiny house ever. The design and everything is solid, realistic, creative, has great quality, and is just beautiful. I'd love to have something like this.

Man, I love this house! At the risk of sounding redundant this person is a flippin' genius. As a former art history professor the fact that Christo used the term 'entablature' in conversation gave me a warm feeling inside. Creative talent, a ridiculous amount of technical ability, and a sense of humor. Thanks for sharing this awesome space with us. We're not worthy!

Christo, The truth is, you are a creative genius. You simply have no idea that you are. I bet throughout your life, everyone else seemed odd; you couldn't figure out why you were always unhappy with the people around you trying to place you into a box. Every single area of your home is a work of art. You should consider inviting others once a week to dinner outdoors. You'll get a chance to show off the kind of food you really wanted to create for others to experience when you were in the restaurant industry. Then, add some musicians to play your music. You would probably have a ball. Okay, ...maybe once a month.... invitation only. Thank you for inviting others to see your beautiful work. It was spectacular!

I can almost feel his journey in every piece of wood. This house is far more than just a house, it's a vibe.

Christo's house is beyond beautiful. The different color wood and textures makes it truly a work of art.

To say this is a Mind Blower is an understatement.. The creativity, artistry and craftsmanship in unbelievable. I loved his comments about the journey he took with the creation and the meaning of Wabi Sabi. Fantastic. He should truly be proud.

This is one of the most luxurious and aesthetically pleasing tiny spaces I have ever seen. The entire house speaks volumes of the owner’s personality, as if the house itself is an extension of them. I have been following living tiny movement for a long time so I have come across many amazing projects but this is something different altogether.

Such a talented individual! Building $80,000 & land $26,000! So affordable than our country. Love the rich dark browns & the amount of space & your recording studio is phenomenal! Love the tall tall ceilings. Amazing build!

This is the most beautiful tiny house I’ve seen on KZfaq. Absolutely awesome! And the fact that he built it himself makes it even more impressive.

I am an interior designer and what this brilliant and unbelievably talented man has created is art. He is living in and enjoying every day the expression of himself. What an extraordinary, passionate and focused genius. This is truly creating, executing and then living the dream!

While I can’t necessarily see myself inhabiting a tiny home I’m drawn to these videos for the sheer ingenuity and creativity behind these spaces. This is probably my favorite I’ve seen so far. I’m blown away by the thoughtfulness, craftsmanship, and overall design of this home.

Such beautiful craftsmanship.

This is one of the very few tiny homes that has an actual standing 2nd floor! Really great design. Love this house.

What this man has done is nothing short of brilliant. It really is a piece of artwork that he gets to live in. breathtaking, and a pleasure to look at it. I doubt we will ever see another tiny house of this caliber. It’s so beautiful.

The creativity and the level of skill here is hugely impressive. Then you throw in the affordability, the sustainability, the practicality and the aesthetic appeal and it is a work of genius proportions.

I love the refreshing yet comical candor by which he expresses himself at the beginning of the clip. It's hilarious.😅 This guy is brilliant & creative as well. Thank you.

Christos, I love your attitude, your gorgeous home, your talents, your instruments. It's so beautiful. It's like a living art work. Everytime you look, you see something more. Such little waste. Incredible! I love your rage design. We are working hard to rebuild our lives after some horrific trauma including getting accidentally run over. However you remind me of my precious hubby. He is so artistic. He was a chef. I was his sous chef when we had restaurants. We went into animal rescue and rehabilitation. Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, pigs, large birds and so on... Then went into healing which led to creating and inventing alot of things. And being musicians we also love to create different instruments. We love to compose and write songs and write everything. We have been fighting against homelessness. And had to leave behind much of our instruments and our music studio and where we are we have much less space. When I saw your incredible studio it gave me so many ideas. I am working on a mini one here. It's being built from Totara, Matai and Rimu which are native woods here in NZ that can not be felled anymore. Our wood comes from the swamp and has been drying for the last couple of decades by my hubbies boss. Everything has to be in order in my home and I love that about yours. The staircases are incredible. I love your home built on your parents vices. So funny. Love the sound wave)mountain. The japanese influences are magical. Love the kitchen. Wow what magical dishes one could create in there. And everything you need at your finger tips. I love the rangehood. Wow just wow! I love your joy of collecting sound. What I love most is your imagination, work ethic, authenticity, uniqueness, care and passion. Really love the dobro. My hubby made a cool banjo type instrument using an old pot. Your home is like a living breathing entity. I imagine it like a cocoon embracing you in a warm hug. I would love to hear more of your music, it's very mesmerising and relaxing, calming. The land wow what a steal. I really love the feature wall in the bathroom with all of the corks. So inventive and unique. I know it's from your imagination which is obviously as you want it. However if I would add anything, in the bathroom and master I might put a self designed stainglass window and possibly a skylight. That would bounce around so many incredible lights and patterns. Perhaps incorporating a few plants. I'm not usually a fan of such dark woods. However you nailed it. Especially with the contrast of light and dark. And the whole home is a wonderful reminder of your journey and how far you have come. I would say you could give up your day job any time with ever improving skills like these. This build really embodies someone's trash is someone else's treasure! This has really inspired me! Thank you! I did watch this when it first came out, however I didn't get to comment as life took us down a different path. I am glad to watch it again. You sound like you have a very loving, funny and supportive family. I am glad that they were all able to contribute somehow. Imagine that you have continued creating and collecting sound. I envision the land and home really complimenting each other well now. It would be great if you were able to give an update if possible. Keep being amazing you! Enjoy your incredible home. You so clearly deserve it! Take care! Love from NZ! A soul imagining and creating a world I want to see, where everyone can be healthy and thrive. 😊

This home is an absolute work of art. Bravo to Christo. I find him to be such a fascinating individual.

Hands down my favorite tiny/small house featured on a KZfaq channel yet. A work of art to be sure. Christo is a very talented individual ... layers and layers of talent ... that manifest in this finished product. Really appreciate Christo sharing his private space with us.... and some philosophy to boot.

His hands should be insured for millions. I love his mind!!!! Sir you're brilliant. Just brilliant. I love your cozy home 💕

I have literally digitally created your walls before because they're what I've always wanted. Everyone told me they thought it was a bad idea, yet here they are BEAUTIFULLY DONE! I KNEW IT WAS A GOOD IDEA 😍😍😍

Wow! This is fantastic. Christopher is talented and wise. I’ve watched hundreds upon hundreds of tiny home videos and this one takes the cake: the house, the land, the guy, the vibe. GLORIOUS!

I've just saved this video so that I can watch it again. This house is stunning. Putting bottle corks, cigar boxes, waste timber, wine bottles, and so many items, normally discarded, together is just astonishing and saves things going to landfills. The sheer beauty of the house is beyond compare. Christopher is a very talented man. The house tour, disclosing all the magical features, is a work of art in itself.

Wow! I agree that this entire house is a work of art, made with found objects as many artists say. I, personally like the fact that it’s built on a foundation, giving him the opportunity to raise the roof and offer standing room in both lofts! I also really like the beauty he added to the lofts with the big square windows between stacked smaller windows! Beautiful! I wish him well in his tiny house!

If ever a home was truly crafted, this is it. So much thought has gone into this magnificent space. Sir, you are a true artist. 💚☘️🇮🇪

Wow! This is the most beautiful tiny house I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love your design! Being an avid cook and musician myself, I just love how you’ve honored both of those things in your build. Just stunning ❤

Christo is such a good and sweet guy! I met up with him a bunch when try to plan for my tiny home build, he offered so much insight and help to a young hopeful me. He put soooooo much time and love into this build, it's amazing! So great to see it fully done. You killed it man, hope you're well! - Lucas

He has built an AMAZING piece of art. His home is incredibly warm and beautiful while very functional. I would be proud to live in a home like this.

This is absolutely awesome. Reusing items that already exist and then making a tiny home spacious? I'm truly impressed!

I’m so inspired by Christo’s talent, philosophy, and energy to accomplish so much!! This was my most memorable KZfaq episode ever!

I know he had a bit of an advantage with extra size/foundation, but this is absolutely the best design I've ever seen. Truly gorgeous.

This is the most brilliant tiny home I have ever seen! Skills and design second to none. Absolutely beautiful.

He has DEFINITELY missed his calling!!!! THAT HOUSE IS BEAUTIFUL!!!

This may be a tiny house, but it is really a giant, breath taking work of art! Your passions, dreams, and inspirations radiate throughout your beautiful home, which is thoughtfully designed, and skillfully laid out. Everywhere you look, inside and out, is a vision of peace, and tranquility. I can tell you are a humble soul, Christopher, but you undersell yourself tremendously! You are a talented, inspiring, skillful artist, who knew what you wanted, went after it, and accomplished nothing short of an amazing, one of a kind masterpiece! Everywhere you look or touch has a piece of your soul embedded within it! Thank you for letting us come into your amazing home! It was an awesome experience, from beginning to end!

The thought that went into the design, privacy windows, cigar box headboard, refurbish wood, stairs and sound control, just to name a few 😉 is phenomenal. Love the design and how intentional each inch of space defines or almost speaks its own purpose. Beautiful!

A work place. A bed room ..A work station. A full size bathroom …A full size kitchen & A double size living space....What else we need.Genious design....FULLY RESPECT🙏.

This guy must be a musician/artist in his past life. The amount of creativity is I would say goes beyond normal. I love that it is a passion project and it shows in his creation.

WoW....this one blew me away. After watching so many tiny house living videos over the years, I think I've become a little "desensitized" to certain things in them....but this ... THIS 😱 PHENOMENAL. 🎉🥇🎉

Like most, I'm addicted to watching tiny home videos, but this one by far is the number one on my list. There's absolutely nothing about this floor plan that needs to be tweaked. Absolutely stunning ❤️

I normally do not like the all wood look in a house, but this is beautiful!! It feels homey, yet a work of art throughout the whole house. Love that wine corks and cigar boxes were used in the design. Absolutely beautiful tiny home.

Just a work of art, what talent Christo has, it's all so beautiful. Beside the incredible artistry and vision, I am just in love with the size of this house. It's the first tiny house that I could imagine myself actually living in, because it's got an actual open, "full" sized living area---I can't imagine not having at least a full-sized couch and room to move around, to spread out projects. Wondering if, once he knew he had to build on a foundation, he considered making more of a square footprint instead of a long trailer-type structure. Also, where are all his guitars?

This has got to be one of the BEST tiny houses I have ever seen, because all the wood is different colors from really light or golden colors and then richer darker colors the home feels very spacious and contemporary, and so many nooks and crannies closets and storage areas, its just an amazing tiny house, this man is such a artist from DYI music instruments to building and design just such a talented person.

This is the most amazing tiny house I've ever seen - he's an eclectic and creative genius

Mind blowing, to say the least! I so appreciate the architect, carpenter, artist, physicist, musician, designer and much more in this guy! 🤩

This is definitely one of my favorites yet, and I've viewed hundreds over the past few years. I absolutely love this home and all of the creative uses for the items he repurposed. He is truly an artist and creative genius, right down to making his own musical instruments.

This is absolutely exquisite! What a spectacular and innovative home Chris’s built. I love the unusual colours and the uses for things like cigar boxes, wine bottles and corks, added to the different hardwoods. He’s a complete craftsman…this is one of the most beautiful tinies I’ve ever seen! Fair play to him!!

I absolutely love this house period. Sometimes I find that some tiny homes are too small or feel to clinical. This house is useful, efficient, warm and inviting. He did a great job. Also a bonus was most of this material to create the tiny house was almost sent to a landfill.

Very nice! So much creativity in design and repurposing. Beautiful kitchen and great size. Doesn't feel like a tiny house at all.

This man is clearly a genius, both in the left and right sides of his brain. This house is INCREDIBLE ❤❤❤

Without a doubt, of all the channels I follow of Tiny Houses, this is the build with which I most identify, both in terms of aesthetics, size, choice of materials and the amount of money spent on its construction! I can perfectly see myself living in a space like this. Congratulations to this fellow!👏🏼

I'm a musician, and this is basically the tiny house I've been attempting to dream of the last several years--trying to figure out how a double loft might work, with the 2nd being for a recording studio. I just hadn't imagined it as beautifully as this guy did. At $80k, I could pull that off too in theory, but of course, that is his number cus he has the skill to build it himself. Damn I wish I had that skillset. I could totally live in a space like this and finally ditch the corporate life. I wonder how much this build would be if you factored in labor. But good lord, this place is perfect. And, unlike most other tiny homes, it has a full, actual kitchen, and real headroom in the lofts. I am going to watch this video regularly and frantically try to figure out how the hell I might pull something like this off.

I'm a 64 year old man, and when I grow up, I want to be just like you! 😊 You are extremely eclectic and I am in awe of everything that you have done and shared with us. Thank you so much and the house is awesome 👍🏾💪🏾

What an inspiration. The house is gorgeous, but HE is such an incredible human. My heart is really happy that he exists in the world.😊

Christo, you are such a talented craftsman! Your home is just lovely! Congratulations!

The home is absolutely amazing and just simply beautiful! Christo is extremely gifted and blessed with so many talents, what an awesome person he must be. With homes prices skyrocketing the way they have in the last couple of years, tiny homes like this would be a great option for a lot of people including myself...

This is got to be one of, if not the most amazing self built homes I've ever seen. The symmetry is so calming. It is absolutely Stunning. Gorgeous!!

This is the most awesome tiny house EVER! That KITCHEN!! The carpentry!! The STUDIO!!

Absolutely stunning! The design is simply perfect, reminiscent of a men private club, dark woods, cigars (😂), quiet corners. The bathroom is a work of art - the corks an inspired choice! Congratulations on this amazing achievement

This home is so awesome. From the cigar boxes,cork walls & different types of wood flooring this is amazing. Enjoy your expertise & your special ideas in this tiny yet spacious home. Love the music studio.❤

This man is a genius!! Not only in the glorious way in which he built his home, but in his music as well!! Well done, Christo!!

This is a beautiful home. I love that it's on a foundation, because we don't always see modern tiny houses on foundations. The millwork is stunning. I also love that he incorporated his love of music and books. You don't have to sacrifice what you love to live small, and this home is proof of that.

This is, hands down, THE coolest (not so) tiny house I've seen! It's beautiful and so well executed. I also love that you've made a space for music. I've always thought that would have to be my biggest sacrifice should I decide to go tiny.

I’m speechless. I can’t recall being more impressed with an individual in my life. His gifts are too many to mention, but they’re honed to a glorious end result. God bless his beautiful soul. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼

Christo…. Mic drop!🎤 you win… even Frank Lloyd Wright would applaud! 👏🏻

This build is a masterpiece. I wish there were construction companies that would offer tiny builds.

Bravo Christo! Polymaths such as Christo are so very rare and truly deserve admiration. Thank you to Tiny House Expedition for sharing this all too tiny insight into an exceptional home and its creator.

THE most stunning I’ve come across. Wish he could replicate it for me. Perfection

11:29 "this is the house build on my parents vices" I felt that in my soul! Artists are the true alchemists! ❤

I don't think I've ever appreciated a tiny house more than this one. The stairs wouldn't work for my disability, but the rest would. It's beautiful and makes so much sense.

I usually don't comment on these tiny home videos, but, this home just blew me away. All the woods used are so beautifully done. And he had a great story to tell. Thank you for sharing Christo. My grandfather built their little cabin in the U.P. of Michigan all by himself. Had himself a personal makeshift sawmill, back in the early to mid 1930's. It was my favorite place to be. Woods, a creek out back and a view of the lake out the dining room. It was small, two rooms. One was the eating, sitting and kitchen area. The other room had two full sized beds in it. Heated with a cast iron wood burner, along with the cast iron cook stove. So looking at your beautiful home sure brought back all the smells of woods and grandma cooking up fantastic food on that stove. Nothing like homemade bread out of one of those woodburning cook stoves.

Your house just made me cry, it’s soo beautiful & your reason behind it being built, so happy for you Christo 😊

I love the fact that you built on a foundation!!! I love the fact that in doing so you still stayed under 500sf!! The layout is spot on and the fact that you recycled the larger portion of it makes it a that much more incredible!! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

He seems like a nice guy who has learned to find balance in his life. He is justifiably proud of what he has accomplished, yet is humble at the same time. Good work!

I'm not a wood person, but THIS house is beautiful and amazing. I also know audio engineering and his studio is GREAT!!! I love lofts that you can actually stand in. Awesome job!! ❤️

Even the opened shelves in the kitchen look so nicely spaced. I find in a lot they look like a crowded mess. He can standup in the lofts. Perfection.

I had the pleasure of visiting this house shortly before completion. It beautifully mirrors Christo's compassion, talents and ingenuity.

This is very dark for my tastes - but it's nevertheless one of the most stunning tiny homes I've ever seen. The craftsmanship, the functionality, the flow, the symmetry, the warmth, it's all nothing short of inspirational. From this impressive home that he's crafted, to his ingenuity, to his music, to his culinary adeptness, to his articulacy, to his level of chill, to his apparent adherence to the things the matter in life, I feel like Christo is an incredibly well-rounded individual. Seriously, good job all-round. And what a spectacular home.

That design is DECADENT. The warm tones, the use of wood throughout, the luxurious rug in the middle, the attention to detail and symmetry, it all comes together to make something that looks so rich. My favourite of everything tho was just the simple pull-out cabinet for his vacuum. What a clever use of space, and still so accessible, spacious and organized.

This is one of the nicest well built tiny houses that does not feel tiny.I think the colour scheme has flowed through so nicely ,I like the mixed colours of the woods.The kitchen and front room are my favourite spaces,they are cosy.With lots of light coming in too.And the bedroom.The whole feel of the place is masculine,but not overpowering ,and I like that although it feels like a cabin ,and it is masculine there’s no dead animal parts like horns etc on the walls.I also like the hight of the lofts too ..I can see He put a lot of love and care into this home.and his workmanship is beautiful. 🥰

Undoubtedly this is the most unique and beautiful tiny home that I have ever seen. This man is incredible. I have a hubby with advanced Alzheimer’s disease and I often watch these and think about this lifestyle for my future. And this video was really incredible.

It’s clear you’re a genius Christo. Your work is absolutely phenomenal! Thank you for sharing it with us!

My Goodness I absolutely ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤everything about his Home!!!

I'm a very serious woodworker. I work with many exotic hardwoods and saw his home full of it. Maybe not purple heart and zebra wood, but wood that isn't stained pine or such. Then I continued to watch him speak and every time he looked directly into the camera, all I could do was think where have I seen him before? Then it hit me! This guy looks just like George Clooney! All I can say is this... His home looks a lot like my cutting boards that I make! Lol. Very nice home! Thanks for sharing!

I have never heard a more articulate and truthful motivation for building a tiny home, and that powerful motivation has created a work of art.

Wow, he has a piano. In a loft. Aside from the stunning beauty and hidden gems of the house, the fact that he was able to shove so much equipment into a loft is astonishing.

Kintsugi, kaizen, and wabisabi - three words that are definitely applicable to this build and I love it - really brilliant... every detail. Very inspiring. And yes, I can definitely see the Frank Lloyd Wright influences... really genius! 👍🙂❤

Honestly, this is one of the most amazing tiny house i ever seen. Inside and outside, its a very well design, and the surrounding area is also so peaceful. I have to say that this guy have a multi-talent. He can be an interior designer as well, I love how he using a cigarette box, wine bottles, cork in his interior. Good idea.

The intro hit the nail on the head. This is one of the most beautiful, well thought-out tiny homes I have ever seen. Thanks for bringing all of us into this awesome creation.
