Hey, I'm Bryce (and I'm Mel) and we're going to build a tiny house.
the tiny house movement has been gaining huge popularity over the last few years
particularly in the United States. That comes largely as a result of the recent
economic recession where thousands of people have lost their homes.
It's a little more than that though. It's not just for financial reasons that
people are moving into small spaces.
It's also about simplifying your life. The tiny house movement
askes the question; if we get rid of the unnecessary things in our life
what does that help make space for? Does living in a tiny house
help make room for a bigger life? So...
over the next few months we going to be designing and building a tiny house.
The house will be especially built for New Zealand's conditions.
It will be totally off-grid, catch its own water
generate its own electricity and even treat it's own waste materials.
As you follow us on our journey you'll see the whole process
not just of the design and build but as we make the necessary preparations to
live a more
downsized, eco-friendly life. We'll sell most or our posessions
and get ready to to live off-grid in a space the size of our current living room.
The film will also follow us for the first six months of living in the home
from the for summer to the first winter, so you'll see all the trials and
tribulations of tiny house living.
While working on the film you'll also be able to keep up to date with our
progress through weekly video updates on our website
and on YouTube. If you're interested in building your own tiny house
living big in a tiny house.com will become a one-stop resource
where you can download plans find a list of materials that went into constructing
the home
and even a list of suppliers to help make your build simple.
We're happy to be inviting you on this journey with us and we're excited for what's
to come.
