This looks interesting, but I don’t have time now to watch a 26 minute video. Wish they had more still shots.
But Alison, I’m sure you’ll have time later at some stage to look at the video. I’ve found that watching the videos gives a better perspective of the interiors than from the photos. Even with the inevitable distortion from using wide angle focus.
Okay, I watched it, and it was, indeed interesting. This is not so much a tiny house as a “one-room hotel,” and an art piece/project. The video also speaks about the makers’ pre-fab house business, which offers some beautiful, but not necessarily inexpensive, designs.
