I've never seen Tiny Homes like these before! Tour with me

Hi there. Welcome to my channel where I take you on tours of tiny and unique homes. I've been filming home tours for this channel for over 10 years and recently I had a chance to tour a tiny house hotel with a variety of tiny homes of all shapes and sizes and some of the designs even surprised me and that's pretty difficult to do. I'm already feeling pretty good about this tiny home. It's already checking all the boxes. Honestly this tiny house is kind of blowing me away. Oh my gosh, look at this. So today I'm going to take you on a tour of a few unique tiny homes that are unlike any other and you're going to meet the family that's behind this tiny house hotel and they have done a lot for the tiny house movement. But before we jump right in, if you like videos like this make sure that you subscribe and hit that notification bell so that you know every single time we publish a new tour. Hi I'm Todd and I'm Morgan and we're from Seattle Tiny Homes. Here in Buckley we have a full farm. It's called the Roots Collective Farm. We have eight tiny house hotel units and then we also build with Seattle Tiny Homes. We do manufacturing here. Here's the factory where we build Seattle Tiny Home units. We build about 24 a year on average. Sometimes we build a few more. All right so this is a 34 foot rainier model that we are producing right now and you can kind of see how it's freshly framed. We just had it spray foamed a couple days ago. Electrical is done and we're about to start doing some rough-in plumbing. It takes about about six weeks before we get a trailer actually on site and then we start producing to this level. Really the framing the spray foam and electrical all that was actually done in about six days from that point and we aim for about 90 day production timeline. Just depends on how busy we are and as you head back this way you'll see a park model that we finished a few months ago. This one's waiting to be delivered. I think they're going to want it sometime in September. It basically has two bedrooms, a loft sleeping area and a downstairs main bedroom. It's got laundry, everything you need to live in. It's actually a pretty big micro mansion is what I call it. The customers that usually want a park model are either in they want to be permanent space they want to actually strip the title and actually site it permanently or they want to be out in the farm country where nobody cares really. It's the same thing as an RV in a way but you just have that extra 10 feet width space on it. So they have several tiny homes available for rent here at the tiny house hotel. We're going to take a look at this one behind me. It's one of the smaller tiny homes they have here but I also hear it has a really unique layout. Let's go check it out. All right here we are inside and I can definitely tell that this is an interesting layout. Already I see something very creative right here. It looks like a murphy bed. Let's fold it out. This isn't the way you're supposed to sleep on the bed I don't think. So that murphy bed is a really great use of space. I can see now why this layout is so unique. They had to elevate the kitchen to fit the murphy bed underneath and then over here I see another piece of collapsible furniture. The classic collapsible dining table. So easy to make and just the perfect first DIY project for any tiny houser. So great space saver and look folding chairs. So this space acts as a guest bedroom and a dining room and a living room. One thing I love about tiny houses is when you first come in it's sort of like a search and find what are the best space savers and in this house in particular I've only been in here for about two minutes and I've already found two collapsible furniture pieces so I'm already feeling pretty good about this tiny home. It's already checking all the boxes. Let's head on up into the kitchen. Okay here we are in the kitchen. Small little kitchenette with a fridge freezer. We have a copper sink. I don't know what it is about tiny homes but they always have unique sinks. It's just one of those things. We have a two burner cooktop that you can put down on the counter here and cook on. A microwave and lots of open shelving. Love that. And in here I think we're probably going to find the bathroom. Let's go see. As suspected this is the bathroom. We got a flush toilet, a huge bathroom sink, and oh my gosh look at this a step down tub. And I think um Sasquatch could probably take a shower in here. This is so tall. It's got to be 12 feet tall. So we have one more area to check out in this tiny house and it happens to be on the third level. That's right I said third level. This might be the only three-story tiny house that I've ever been in. So somehow they fit three different stories in a tiny home but it's the same height as a regular tiny home. Here we are in the last room of this tiny house, the bedroom. And surprisingly I can sit up in bed. One thing I really love about this tiny house is that it has separate rooms. You don't see that a lot. A lot of people are really embracing the open floor plan idea with tiny homes to make the space look bigger but what you get with a tiny house layout that has separated rooms is privacy. All right so this teeny tiny home packs a lot of punch but I want to see some of the other tiny homes including some of the larger ones. Let's go. And now for something completely different let's go see the inside of this tiny home which is one of the largest tiny homes they have here at the tiny house hotel. I'm really intrigued by those two lofts so I wonder how many people can actually sleep in this one. Let's go see. All right so immediately this one feels very spacious. It's super big as far as tiny house standards go. We got two lofts it looks like and a downstairs bedroom. Right here is the galley kitchen with a five burner stove top, big sink, lots of countertop space and storage, full-size refrigerator. So this is one of those tiny homes that I could see a family of four living in because there's a lot of areas for people to have privacy and there's also a large great room which is good for family gatherings. Let's check out the other spaces. I think behind me is probably the bathroom. So this giant bathroom as far as tiny house standards goes has a flushing toilet, a sink, a full-size shower and a washer dryer combo. All right let's go upstairs to the first loft. All right guys I'm not gonna lie it's pretty tight up here. This is a good bedroom maybe for kids but I'm feeling a little claustrophobic myself and I'm a tiny house person so nice to have the extra bedroom though but I would be sleeping downstairs. All right here we are on the other side of this tiny house it has a day bed slash couch area so you can even sleep another person here guest bed and one thing that white interior tiny houses do is they make the space feel way bigger than it actually is. Back here is the master bedroom so queen-size bed perfect sleeping space for mom and dad and up here I took little peek is a storage loft too tiny for someone to sleep in but always great in a tiny home to have extra storage. This one here is giving me some log cabin vibes. Oh I like the the look of this one on the inside they definitely have some nice finish features like I love those trusses they have going on the Tiffany style lamp in the middle. I see a little heart shape cut out behind me here is an L-shaped kitchen this is a really good use of space when you have a bay window I see this in a lot of tiny homes it's really nice to be able to cook and prepare your food and clean your dishes while looking out. So we have a deep sink we have a mini fridge freezer we have a toaster oven and a microwave oven and a coffee machine. Lots of storage since there's such high ceilings they can do these giant uppers which is great. We have a little bar top area here for one for maybe eating breakfast or working on your laptop and up here I see a little surprise loft it looks like there might actually be enough space up there for someone to sleep I'm gonna find out. We have a little ladder here oh it's cute so this adorable loft I thought at first was just for kids but I have plenty of headroom up here it's got a gorgeous triangular shaped window in the back it's a twin size bed complete with stuffies and for safety purposes they have this barrier so you can lock yourself into place with no fear of falling out because that's quite a fall. Over here we have the living room nice big couch TV air conditioning great for movie nights. So the back half of this tiny house is really kind of interesting I'd say the last six feet or so of the first floor is dedicated to a bathroom which means it's a giant bathroom for a tiny house and they've done something really unique they've separated the toilet area from the shower area so this house is really gonna be great for people living with their kids in a tiny home or even with their spouse in a tiny home where you both have to get ready at the same time and finally we have a big closet again as far as tiny house standards go so this is a great tiny house for people who are wanting to share a small space but still you know have enough space to get ready at the same time. So last space we need to check out is the master loft. Here we are in the master loft and it's enormous I mean we have five windows that all open I have a ton of headroom and there is plenty of space on the side of the bed also for baskets or a nightstand. I love seeing the arched ceiling from here and the little heart cut out it's so cute it actually goes all the way through to the other side and if I was in here with my kid I would love that I'd be able to call across to them check on them when I needed to in the middle of the night. Honestly this tiny house has kind of blown me away I really like it. It was about 2012 when we were basically homeless at the time struggling with housing and that's when I basically was like you know if I put a shed and threw it on some wheels this could be in this gray area where you don't have to get permits and we went to legislature started the tiny house association went heavily into trying to lobby for a bill to get passed which it did in 2018 it became law. It started off where all the builds that we were doing were Airbnb builds. I was sad about it actually that I was building all these units and it wasn't really solving the housing crisis. Since 2020 it's exploded to where it's somebody's main home it's more of solving that person's housing need and we're really trying to change the culture locally and make the richer people think more simply and then they can give back more and you know teaching people that if you're you're poor and in poverty you don't need to think that way if you get in community with others. Thanks for watching this week's episode I'd love to know which of the tiny homes that I toured that you liked best so make sure to leave a comment and if you'd like to learn more about Seattle Tiny Homes and all the work that they're doing for the tiny house movement check out the links in the description and I will see you soon with another unique home tour.
