Inside the Denizen from Zennihome. A couple weeks ago I was in Mesa, Arizona and decided to check out the prototypes from Zennihome. The concept behind the line is having multiple use spaces that can be transformed to make better use of the foot print. For example the living room doubles as the bedroom and they have the option to include a Ori Cloud bed for an easy transition. In this video I talk about the Zennihome Denizen and some of the cool features included.

The modern design is a total win. It's clever and streamlined. Well done!
+1. .. "It's clever and streamlined. Well done!" .. Copy that.
Thanks 🙌🏼
The design is pretty cool. I had a micro apartment about the same size and would've loved the hideaway bed. Overall, tiny living is not for everyone. If you're a minimalist, this is all you need. By the time I moved out, everything I owned fit in the back of a pickup truck.
But overpriced 💸.
Kerry, Do me a favor & move that damn terrarium before it smashes into a million pieces on the floor. I've been watching it for several videos & it's going to go soon. Cheers!
I've been watching the terrarium, too The feng was acting up with the shui.
I'm in Newfoundland, and am impressed that an Arizona company thinks about snow load. Keep up the great work!
Thank you 🙌🏼
Lots of snowy areas in AZ, so it's good they take this into consideration otherwise they'd limit their market to the Mesa/Phx/Tucson area. I'd love one of these in Flagstaff or Springerville to use as a winter cabin and a place to escape when the summers in the city get too hot.
Big misconception that Arizona is simply just a dry hot desert State, bc it gets cold AF there and it definitely snows in parts of AZ!
@Thr33.Sid3z I was under that exact misconception, where I am in Canada the Arizona weather report just shows us Phoenix. Where I am, we average 10 to 12 feet of the heaviest wettest snow every winter.
@@newfiescreech7328 Arizona is very unique as a state in that you experience three different climate types in one state. Mountains, complete with snow and full winter lifestyle, Mountainous/Rocky painted high dessert with crazy winds and storms, then the low desert/valley complete with arid and dangerous heat waves and home to the fifth largest city in the country.
This is the nicest tiny home design I've ever seen!
glad to hear it!
Nice design inside and outside. I like the minimal design and layout.
Glad you like it!
Kerry, you are really doing a great job visiting all these companies this year!
Thank you! Planning more as we speak
Yes thanks for doing the legwork. I have no doubt that eventually I will be purchasing one of the homes you showcased 😁👍
Really glad you stopped yourself from fiddling with the blinds. I think I would want the Murphy bed, just because I like the hideaway part of it. Great tour. Thanks Kerry 🥶🖤🔔👍🏻❤️
I forget how much extra he said it was for that automatic bed. I think it was something crazy like 18,000…. Right? For that price IT’S A DEF NOOOOO!!!! 😊
I’d prefer the Murphy bed.. I like to KNOW how things will act in case of a loss of power. I mean, how hard it it to Manage? It isn’t that hard..
Thanks for watching MBM!
Thanks Kerry! Very nice design for a small space. I especially like the floating toilette and larger bathroom sink. ... easier to clean.
Hey Gaston! Glad you like it, appreciate you tuning in
I am impressed. A very polished gem of a house! If I had the cash I'd totally order it with the drop down bed option. That alone makes is feel extra groovy and shagadellic, baby! Yeah!
Yeah, I can just imagine my first date fleeing when I accidentally hit the bed button.
@@gaston. .. Either fleeing or disrobing on the quick. .. .. .. Okay, enough of the small talk. .. Pillow talk it is. .. .. ..
@@gaston. Hahaha! Reminds me of the old Doris Day/Rock Hudson film "Pillow Talk". Rock Hudson's character has a bachelor pad where he flips a light switch and the lights dim, the doors lock, the record player turns on, and the sofa converts to a bed. Classic!
OH MY GOD YOU DISSECTING WHETHER THE BED CAN GO UP AND DOWN WITH THE POWER OFF JUST LED ME TO FLUSH YOU...
haha
Would love to see the ‘spaciousness’ of the closet, as well as the allocated fridge space. ✌️
my bad! next time I'm there
Appreciate you answering my bed question from the previous vid, in this one. Thanks Kerry !!
You bet!
Recently I was in Europe. I noticed that the design of both windows and glass doors was of much better quality and design than many windows and glass doors I have seen in the US. I could not really tell how the doors in their two models were designed. It also appears that these windows are not made to be opened. The other thing I noticed while in Europe was kitchen cabinets. IKEA cabinets seem to be popular and well designed for small spaces.
That looks really cool. I used to be the lead Engineer at Kasita so tiny homes were near and dear to my heart
Very cool
@@KerryTarnow it was cool, we had a great team, shame we didn't pull it off
It's gorgeous! Excellent design and use of minimal space. Price seems fair for all you are getting.
glad you like it!
Great models definitely worth the trip I hope they expand the models in the future!!!!!!!!!!
For the past few weeks I've been watching your terrarium (in the background) as it seems to be "living on the edge" of that piece of furniture. Great job, as usual!
Haha! If its not living on the edge its taking up too much space
Was looking for this comment 😂
Kerry!! Great answers to some great questions!! Really like the use of 300+ square feet!!Awesome design!! Thanks Kerry for your ongoing efforts!! Greetings from Ontario, Canada!! GIDDYUP!!
thanks for watching James!
Love this. It’s perfect for a single person. From my perspective. I’d love to view it in person. To take in everything
Sign up for a tour, availability is on their website
Great update and covered all the questions I had after the recent video about the unit. 👍
Great to hear!
Finally some details that go beyond look and total price. Keep showing us live tours. Really helpful. I'd love to see 2 story versions of 700sq if any exist.
I have more planned!
i always wait for your videos.. keep keeping us informed. 👍
Thank you! Appreciate you tuning in
This is a really amazing prefab. The layout, colors & robotic furniture really make this a very livable place.
Glad you like it
Very well designed ❤ and worth the price if you can afford it 😊 . If I were single this would be my new home. 🏡 Another fantastic video 🥇🏆 keep up the fantastic work 👍🏾
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
I love both Zinnihomes models so much that I already went to their website to find out if a loss of power would be a problem. I'm in FL so power outages happen here. Love the blinds! Thanks for sharing this information.
I may be wrong, but aren't they designed to be off-grid so power outages might be minimal? Or maybe I'm mixing up these modular companies. I'm so jealous that you're in Florida, btw. I'm freezing in Wyoming right now!
7:48 you can control from anywhere in the home.....the sarcastic nature in me is tingling. Dope presentation.
Haha
Hellishly expensive if you convert to South African ZAR. Please move that pant behind you before it falls off the table! Love your content. Thanks.
i gotta say, its nice to see Kerry visiting homes instead of just pointing at renders
For sure! Planning more
Another great video! I cannot wait to receive and get mine installed. My only critic is that you should have shown the closet area, fridge and washer/dryer, other than that it was fantastic!
Good call! Thank you for the feedback
Projeto incrível para cidades grandes!
And all this beautiful information and insights all while the vase on the table behind u is just about to fall.
Haha!
Great update. Thank you. Love the big windows. I’m surprised how much I like the smaller module. I know I prefer the larger one but it’s a real option. Cheers!
glad you like it!
Interesting concept. Land is needed to build, but does anyone live in a house like this? I'd like to see an interview with a person who owns one of these and hear his/her story about buying the house and getting everything setup to live in it.
Not in yet but will be hopefully in the next 90 days or sooner, but I live very close to the models and have been to them often. Mine, the Citizen is finished, and we are in the permitting process and site prep. I'm #12 on the list but because of the stages of site prep, I could actually be 1 or 2 in living in one before the others.
@@j.r.r.2185Congratulations!
"Mesa AZ..." I didn't know you were in my neck of the woods. I'm behind a video, so haven't seen the larger floor plan yet. Since I'm in Yuma, it might be cool to take a day, and visit their showroom. Congrats on the sponsor. I have been wanting to check out skill share. Maybe it's time... Thank you Kerry!
I was! Check out the Citizen, it’s cool. Definitely worth a trip to the showroom
That is really nice. I would probably opt for the Murphy bed and add the Starlink satellite. Great video Kerry!
Yeah I’d probably do the Murphy too
@@KerryTarnow I think you do a fantastic job with your videos now, so I can only imagine how and what you can improve with those classes! Unless you’ve been using your hair to distract us from seeing any shortcomings. LOL just kidding
320 sq ft that "starts" at $90K. Are they crazy????!!!!
Yep they are 😮
a lot of these small homes are more expensive per sq foot than a full size home.
The term "economy of scale" comes to mind. .. .. .. ..
That’s what you can’t lose sight of, when noticing how cute these are - the fact that price wise, they make no sense. SMH.
@@RMMomma4Eva you can say that again 🤦♀️
Great video. Happy that you answered those questions many of which I had but did not comment on. I guess that you have really made it on KZhead when Skillshare sponsors you. Congratulations. Not unexpected though, your videos are interesting even if you are not interested in prefab/manufactured homes.
Thank you! Appreciate that a lot 😀
Thanks Kerry! Have a good flight! This definitely is Star Trek material. ;)
thanks Shaun!
Very modern looking and it looks like they've got everything one would need. 👍
I agree
Z Homes lived up to the hype of its renderings ❤ ... thanks so much for the tours! Are there different options for the exterior cladding?
They offer 4 different color options, but it is all cement paneling
What would be interesting with these innovative modular homes that have a degree of "high design" is to incorporate these into a very small version of Seaside, Florida. perhaps a community of 25 of these modular homes of different sizes, with parking on the perimeter of the community, walking paths to and from the common areas, a common kitchen garden, siting areas, play spaces, BBQ grills and other features. This could be with proper zoning an alternative path to homeownership, community and a better alternative to renting. I could not see living in one of these units for the long term. Too small. Perhaps one of these set up on a mountain property or similar location. I do have questions as to how these homes will age over the long term in terms of repairability, durability and ease maintenance.
I can build something just as nice for fraction of the cost and build it onsite. I have yet to see any modular home hold up.
Thanks for posting, Kerry! I am surprised more tiny homes do not incorporate this type of technology to make their tiny homes, well, you know, more use case adaptable.
Same here
Great reviews and I can’t wait to get to Mesa, Arizona to check them out in person. A lot of house for the money too!
glad you enjoyed the video!
Thanks for the video Kerry! So where does the rank on your list of PreFabs that you would own?
Love the separated areas. I wonder if the builder would tweak the build to add two pop outs to hold my bookcases and lose windows? If I could have my library in such a wee abode, I would be in heaven.
I think they're trying to keep it standardized
They did a great job of maximizing the space.
I agree
Smart design and innovative features make for quality space management. I would be happy with a Dennison! Developers need to take note!
I would too!
Such A Great Looking Home.
Thanks for watching
Nice flow and design. The outdoor deck helps.
Yeah the covered porch is key
Great video! Very insightful :D
Thanks!
It is awesome, so is your video. Thank you for no background music!!!
Thanks for watching
Looks so modern and cozy!
glad you like it!
Nice compact layout, and thanks for the info about the insulation - I see alot of tropical plants on your presentations- and the tour of the factory. ABOOT the shoes on the coffee table; does your mom know!!??
haha! good catch on the shoes, didn't even think of that... oooops
Me likey. Great design. Thanks for sharing. Excellent information.
Thank you! Glad you like it
Nice job on the rapid fire question and answer segment. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
I only can concentrate on the vase in the background when you talk :D She´s standing very dangerously 🤣
Haha 😂
That's amazing, just wish there was a bit of an office space situation
+1. .. The office space is in model 1B.
He showed that model from this same builder a video or two ago.
Bigger than expected. I bet that's saying you guys up in the Canadian cold down hear very often ! 😜 Okay, sorry I got to watch the show now.
I am verry happy for you and if you like this kind of living arrangment/ design then I wish you well. I guess at 46 years old I will always be a traditional person. Which is why as a single guy I would prefer to live in a three bedroom two bathroom home that was bulit in the late 1970s and/or early 1980s. I also guess if I were living some place I would rather have my place feel comfortable and uncrowded. Mr.Tarnow I do and I mean it if you are happy with your new home I wish you nothing but blessings. Each person deserves happiness and a place to live. God Bless -Jason.
thanks Jason!
I would've enjoyed actually seeing the walk-in closet and refrigerator.
my bad! next time
The Ori bed sounds so cool.
Correct
I like it! A perfect base
Glad to hear it, thanks for watching
That's very nice. I'd love to see this sort of plan built into a condo building. I can imagine living in a small smart space like this one.
These can actually be stacked, they have plans for a 6 storey building made out of them in Mesa
Nice piece of kit, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching
Love it!!!
glad to hear!
Wonderful... A very nice house... . Super cute
Thanks for watching
Looking out the window and seeing the walkway connecting the units... and I suddenly imagined a little community of pods coming together. All the pods extending out from a central firepit/casual area for socializing and community meets... could be nice
Cool idea!
A winner for sure !
Glad you like it
Excellent presentation, thanks a lot.
Thank you
The shower design reminds me of the same solution I saw decades ago in a small apartment in Greece. I thought how strange it was they didn't have actual shower cabin but the open design with sloped floor and waterproof surface works great for small spaces. I could live in it 😁👍
Thanks for watching
Kerry! Nothing else . . . just Kerry!
haha!
I've been fascinated with the 320 sq ft Zennihome since you initially reviewed it (have had dreams about this place). Thanks for visiting the model and answering some of our burning questions 🤔, e.g., the fine details about the bed mechanics.
I'm an avid subscriber and review all studio and apartment housing in the States, innovative designs to combine for social housing design here in UK
Glad it was helpful!
I love the bathroom.😍
glad to hear it!
Go Kerry Go! The Denizen is cool….
Thanks!
Very impressed. I am looking for another video review at August time frame in Mesa Arizona.
Ok, Im going to try to go to the factory next
I agree that $99K for the base price of 320sf unit is a lot. Add the upgrades and delivery… phew! But it is a handsome structure!
An appropriate living space, for my taste
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Looks great!!
Thanks for watching 🙌🏼
Did you ever think of doing a video comparing a small double wide compared to one of the prefab tiny homes of a similar size ? Maybe do one together with Chance's mobile world. You guys would be pretty funny together.
that's a great idea, I'm going to give him a call
I like it!...has a mid century modern vibe.
Thanks for watching
Thanks, Kerry! Great little place. LOVE it! Q1. What does one need for a foundation? I noticed the rocks in the model home. Does that mean it needs concrete pylons? (what is the proper term??) Q2. I noticed air ducts (correct?) above the smaller side door off the kitchen. Does that mean it has HVAC or some facsimile? Great channel!
They recommend cement pillars for the foundation! And the homes come with a mini split unit for hvac!
Zennihome is looking really good and affordable too.
glad you like it
This is amazing!!!
Glad you like it
Compared to what Boxabl is offering for the Casita, Zennihome quality Is superior buy far! I would definitely pay the additional $25000. to get something I know it's going to hold up! Sign me up!
Can you please push your terrarium back onto the table? 🌿Its driving me crazy. Thank you. Nice work on vids.
Haha 😆. I will
I love it! It's just me, it would be perfect. Power outage, use your arms and hands. GEEZ! THANKS, KERRY. Still looking for property in central Washington, maybe in Tonasket? That's probably south of you across the border. Or, are you in Edmonton? When I get my tiny home built I'll invite you down. Don Wilson.
For 70k USD you get a brand modern looking new apartment 1400 sqf 3 bedrooms, two living rooms, 2 bathrooms, ceramic flooring looking like marble, fridge , stove, dishwasher and not far away from the beach...In Morocco and as a bonus food, utility, insurance, gym, 2 cell, 5 restaurant outings per month. All for 400$ USD/month. No mass shooting no homeless people, no discrimination, no drugs and great weather 310 days per year.
Nice review. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
Love the design would like a office space or hobby room.
Glad you like it
Perfect
glad you like it!
Its beautiful 😍 the Gimmicks scare me a bit 😮.....floating beds...moving walls... i also think the bathroom deserves a dedicated shower! So my Question is,.... is it a movable tiny home ....or is stationery? 🎉❤
wish you had shown inside the closet and inside where the washer dryer was , love the design Id opt for a Murphy bed but I love the set up, didn't see a refrigerator
yeah that's my bad! next time
I loved this home . I do wish you showed the area where the fridge is ,and the inside of the walk in closet . I would also go with the option of the Murphy bed , as the automatic is pricey .
Definitely whiffed on not showing that section. Next time!
Real cool
Glad you like it
I wished the they could export / contract this outside of US. This is a big win for small cities / countries out there!
For sure, maybe one day
bed that goes to ceiling makes a huge difference in making the space feel bigger. Not a fan of the some of the variable panel gaps for the white exterior panels though. And fridge and washer should switch locations.
love your vibe, the channel and great sponsor partners. keep it up. YT is slowly making you the default for all things ADU etc. amen!
Thank you! Appreciate that 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Great presentation. I love this unit. I can see myself living in a unit like this. Just trying to figure out where I can place small desk and my computer. The design is fantastic. Question for Kerry. Can this withstand the winters in New England?
Im not familiar with the requirements there but the first thing to check would be snowload.
@@KerryTarnow Thank you.
I'd like to learn more about purchasing and delivery. Also, what are the requirements for the home to sit on the property.
I am worried that your terrarium is going to fall off of your table. Great video, BTW. 😊
Haha! I’ll check it
I really like the house. I want the standard bed and I don't want sliding walls. Blinds /curtains would be a must. I would never pay that much for this but I may build one.
thanks for watching
