Off-Grid Living in a 5x 20ft Shipping Container Home
If you're a fan of shipping container homes, then this is a video tour you won't want to miss! In this weeks episode we meet Rosie, who has constructed an incredible off-the-grid home out of five 20ft shipping containers.
Rosie's home is situated in the middle of a spectacular conservation block and her beautiful modern shipping container home has been wonderfully designed to take full advantage of the beautiful surrounding landscape.
Best of all, this home is completely off the grid, with solar power, rainwater collection and even a vermi-composting toilet, meaning she will never need to see another power or water bill again.
We hope you enjoy the full tour of this brilliant shipping container home.

Rosie's home is just such a welcoming and beautiful place. We were absolutely blown away by the spectacular and panoramic views which surround the home. What a special home! We hope you enjoy the tour. With love, Bryce & Rasa
I’m glad you 2 are Allright. Greetings from the Netherlands🇱🇺
I hope when life u contained is finish you reach out to them and visit their build . They have been building for years and it's so nice
What a very big tiny home!! Absolutely beautiful place & the views........ stunning! Lovely episode Bryce & Rasa. Adore your channel. Keep safe both of you & lots of love to you xxx
Fabulous.
What country does this lady live ?
I mean the house is cool but... THAT SCENERY IS OUT OF THIS WORLD
....Hey Ausies are people too! ....js wishing Texas had mountains
@@eddiewalker7252 coromandle is in New Zealand
I own a piece of land with a similar view, I wish I could build something like this. But the problem is that I live in a shitty country and the house would get vandalized if I leave it unattended for even a short period of time.
@@scratchy996 Which country, if I may ask? That doesn't sound pleasant at all.
To be fair it's still in this world. But I get your pointใ :D
After watching this channel for a while, I finally bought a plot of land next to a lake in Montana. Tiny home construction starts in Summer 2022. Thanks for the inspiration!
Best of luck and I hope you enjoy your creation for many years to come.
Wow (with a big smile)
Big gratz!! Wish u all the best and envy u a little bit! Maybe one day,I will have my own aswell ♥
Wow!!!!!!! That’s amazing!!! I reallly hope it goes well 🥰🥰🥰
I wish you the best ❤️
She definitely lives life like it is meant to be lived.
Yes... get a Man to pay all of your bills so you can save your money and leave him to go "live the dream".
What the hell?! You sound hella bitter. I hope you deal with your issues. Find yourself a good therapist, they are worth the investment. Also take responsibility for who you allow in your life as well. It sounds like you had someone rip you off. But guess who allowed a gold digger to scavage their pockets??? It's your responsibility to pick and chose who belongs in your life. All women are'nt bad just like all men are'nt either. So good luck to you.

It's strange how people talk about all the profits, they've been making through trading of bitcoin, while am here not making any profit at all. Please can Someone put me through on the right path or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I don't believe in Crypto or Forex trading, I lost my funds investing in Bitcoin.
The main thing I like about crypto is that it is decentralized and its not in the government system.
@Tracy Olive my life was a mess before I was introduced to crypto, right now am debt free and am living happily.
@@thomasnorris7285 at first I didn't believe in bitcoin until i saw the profit just after one week of investment. The main reason why people loss fund in Crypto is when they are trading alone.
Rosie is my daughter and we are all absolutely thrilled with her container home. The five containers were transported by truck ( 5 trucks) and craned onto the site. Rosie always had a vision and watching it all come to fruition has been a real thrill for her whole family. She deserves it all and we wish her many happy years enjoying her sanctuary. Yes she is a Dr Who and Sci Fi nerd!
This is such a wholesome and adorable comment to go with this wholesome and adorable video, love it!
Her vision, artistry and creativity are off the charts! How blessed she is that she can align her values for conservatorship in such a stunning location. I'm sure you're very proud. Congrats Rosie!!💜💔
We are all glad she was able to share it with us!
You must be so proud! She's done well, and that view would consume me for days! Lots of love from the South Island hehe
@@cheekyb71 *years!
When the stars align and you get to build a spectacular container home, live off the grid, and do it all in a nature reserve. Who gets to do that??? How fantastic.
....I'm not jealous at all lucky she is!
Abundance of Admiration
Almost no one gets to do that, its nice for her but tiny living is a very priviliged concept and it is only a very individualistic approach to the housing crisis we are facing.
@@Laura-gd4ku Haven't you seen some of the videos on here? Some people have made forever tiny homes for about £3000. I mean being able to save that wouldn't be easy for me, but i do recognise that that is one of the cheapest a poor person could ever OWN a home for. It's only privileged if you're looking at this fancy big diy home, that's not a 'tiny house' in this video and thinking that's what this movement is, it's not. The actual tiny houses are, you see more of those in the USA, UK, France, and the latter two tend to be cheaper ones too, especially in the UK.
@@pcoristi What a great reply. Our son is headed off to Montana State this fall and first year is in a dorm. But after that, we would love to help him find alternative housing. Real estate has skyrocketed and made it impossible for locals to buy and stay and made it extremely difficult for all the University Students to find affordable housing. Kudos to Bozeman, Montana, for the new 6 acre First Village, a community of tiny homes which will be used as permanent housing for those experiencing homelessness, but it's unique and an isolated occurrence. It's getting approval by the state to place them in backyards and build multiple tiny villages, that is the problem and is holding back solutions to supply affordable housing for so many.
I'll sell my home in 2 years. I was contemplating moving into a Senior Living Community, but after watching this video, I am considering a shipping container tiny home in a scenic area with warm climate somewhere in the southern U.S. I am addicted to books & need the space Rosie has for her precious book treasures! I love to cook & need the same type of kitchen she has, as well! That wine storage unit is totally cool & would replace my wine rack! This lady & her gorgeous home are an inspiration to me to live the life I've always wanted! Thank you so much! Abundant Blessings to you all for creating this home & this video! My spirit feels the call to Tiny House Living!

@@jefe9098 well, but store u got much close than in that wood.
And not to cluttered with junk either.
i cried all the time... a house like this cannot exist, with that view... i have no words
Everything about this perfectly incapsulates what I'd love to build one day. Off-grid, in New Zealand, taking care of the other beings on the land, it's sustainable, beautiful and comfortable, and absolutely incredible. I'm speechless. Much respect Rosie!! :)
Contact me when you are ready to start the journey as I specialize in container house builds.. ( Im a qualified Architect) I have plans that you can simply apply to your site. regards Darren
One of the most inspiring things in life is seeing other people's dreams come true. So happy for this woman!
Seriously? She has multiple containers and free land...wtf are you thinking???
I agree Natalia, it's a beautiful thing to witness ❤
This is pure colonialism
I agree Nathalia, it is wonderful to see the happiness manifest in this Lady's smile!!!
Lonely aging woman in an outbacked shipping container. Just sad.
Better than most LA rich homes. Congrats girl. You made it.
completely agree
Giggety
Its your Personal taste, not for everyone, so as the LA homes you Hate soo much, what matters are the Home Owners loving their Homes wherever they call it Home. And you're Comparing a Minimalist Home vs Extreme Homes. Nice Comparison "A Therapist home vs Millionaires and Billionaires Homes, lol
@@capitanothegreat3994 Lol. LA Homes are overpriced garbage, and many of them even look ugly compared than the average minimalist tiny home. You don't need ridiculous amounts of money just to live a simple life. A lot of people who live in tiny homes are also wealthy, but many are too content and happy with their own lives, so they don't care about some oversized mansion on a hill somewhere, nor would want to live in one.
@@capitanothegreat3994 bruh no LA Home got this beautiful and natural view
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all her Doctor Who paper and trinkets
She is BRILLIANT. Dreaming of a house like this is easy, but creating one in real should be very tough.
Using toolboxes for the kitchen cabinetry? That's GENIUS!
If thats genius then u r dumb 😢
The tool trolleys in the kitchen is GENIUS. "Bookmarks for the van build ..."
I've seen tons of tiny homes over the years, and this is definitely my favorite
thats what i tell after watching every tiny home videos.They are all impressive
you aint see nothin christian
Ok - this is my favourite one. Love the shape. the entertainment room convertible into a guest room. the floor-to-ceiling library! and the main living area is super nice as well
The Library😍😍😍 The only thing missing from most tiny homes that made me a bit hesitant about wanting to live in one!
Build one with a big bookshelf
Know what you mean. My 2 bedroom off grid home has a slopping roof so l have room to build two lofts. One of my Bedrooms will have a bed up top and library below. I did not have the heart to depart from my books when l left the city 3 months ago. My container with my household goods arrives today, can’t wait to unpack my books. The high top container is going to be my art studio with another loft.
I have to have room for my books wherever I end up. This lady's library is Goals, 100%.
This lady is living the dream of many. Deep in the nature.
Facts one of my dream homes
What about animals don’t you see any , bears and lions. Snakes, the rest of the animals in the world?
@@kathycavitt3089 Where she lives the only thing she needs to be on a look out for is wasps, bees, mosquitos, spiders, and human's main predator, another predatory human.
@@kathycavitt3089 Nope. You don't get these in New Zealand.
Deep in the nature but connected with a nice road, so you can return to civilization and the city whenever you feel like it? that must be nice..
living like this w a reserve to protect has been my childhood dream! She truly made it bro!
That kitchen is sweet. Good Idea with the tool trolleys
And I do love the black, the home disappears into the jungle until you open those amazing doors, then BAM...color...love the kitchen, love the bathroom, the deck, the orange...and what a dream come true...silence and belonging...!
orange is supposed to stimulate the appetite, very fitting for a kitchen.
@@ninirossau2304 my kitchen and floor are painted a brick orange, I love the color...
I love shipping container homes, and that kitchen is out of this world not to mention the location and that view!!
I've been following this channel for a year and today I found out that in my country there is a company building container houses for an amazingly cheap prices, 40 sq meter house for 7k euros, now I'm saving money to buy one of my own.
Remember, shipping container homes are incredibly hard to insulate properly. Im not sure this house, in this humid climate, will survive more than 10 years
@@gibson1005 Properly sealed and painted, with regular maintenance, they should last several decades. Thermal insulation, in cooler climates, however, should indeed be a problem. Metal in general is an excellent thermal conductor - exactly the opposite of what you need in walls, in thermally more extreme climates.
Its old trailer made trending.
@@nenadpopov3601 , Which country may I asked? Thank you in advance.
Truly fantastic little home and a thought provoking idea for a stunning little slice of freedom.
LITTLE!!?? You said its "little" twice.. It's far from little, although technically it is "Tiny Home", with just the custom 1 bedroom, (it's much more than just a House), BUT on it's scale this takes Shipping Container Conversions to a whole new level - it doesn't have "little" rooms or little living spaces, where have you ever seen a floor to ceiling Library in any 'Little' home or in any Tiny House ? - and the Kitchen is Epic!!! It's the BIGGEST kitchen I've ever seen in any shipping container conversion!! It appears that it's used the full length of a 20 footer JUST for the Kitchen - it's got a GRAND effect that combines beautifully with simplicity of using Industrial Bunnings Tool cabinets for the cabinetry, without losing the aesthetics. Some of these Industrial designs can be 'colder', when pure functionality in industrial design can cost some of the luxurious and more beautiful design elements. She has made the environment and the location a focal point, with so many windows and drawing in natural light and panoramic views from all rooms, no matter which way you are facing, The Furniture facing the walls (for the spectacular Ancient Forest views. By the sheer number of windows, and by turning the furniture around to face the views, at first glance it's a surprising effect of the furniture not positioned against the walls, but facing the walls, she has made the sunlight throughout the day her focus framed by the rare and precious Forest -what a unique and incredible slice of Natural Beauty!! I don't think I would want to leave home if this was mine! This is an absolutely gorgeous Grand result for someone who hasn't done anything like this before!! The whole home has an amazing sense of peace, with a personality of its own with the vibrant splash of colour, and a sense of wholeness within, - it doesn't have the often narrow rooms in other shipping container conversions. With this one, there's not the confined limits on the size of each space, with the narrow width of the containers, which when the furniture or the beds are squeezed into the spaces, it looks smaller, appearing even more narrow when furniture or beds are squeezed in between the container walls, exaggerated with the longer length. I've seen many of thousands of these Tiny Homes conversions by DIY'ers which truly look tiny, an achievement for the owners to pare back their House full of "things & Stuff" to become minimalists by necessity with (sometimes) clearly compromised spaces trading dual purpose or multi-functionality of functionality required for the spaciousness internally to be able to cut costs, both building costs and material costs, in the construction phase, to have the major advantages -If the Tiny Home was built to be Off-grid equipped, of being able cut utility costs, heating and cooling costs, to nil or cut to being very small.. To be able to move these Shipping Container Conversions around, should the need arise, or the desire for travel squeezed in to usually leave the container walls and doors intact, with a shoehorn effect of a shoe-box shaped home also losing quite a chunk of space within each room, by the passageway required to move between each space, this creates limited living with the remaining space (in other Shipping Container Conversions built to be easily transported on the back of a truck, (if you can afford the crane at both ends of the origin & destination). This Home of Rosie's has an effect of being firmly rooted into its surroundings.. It doesn't have the compromised spaciousness internally that many Tiny Houses have as a trade off for low-cost builds, and for low utility costs for the functionality of modern living with all the luxury we have gotten accustomed to. Nothing has been lost in the internal living spaces, and it has a unique perspective of the grand effect of the space inside, especially in the kitchen and the library, facing the natural beauty which is being amplified by the perspective simply by facing the furniture and the bed towards the views in this Wonderland.. The natural light within I can picture the glow Rosie spoke of from Sunrise in the kitchen making the orange "glow" inside the kitchen and looking out onto the forest floor to ceiling views framed by the doors looking out onto the deck and into the Forest and the sky all the way to the horizon.. The night views of the Stars from all these framed windows like changing living Artscape that is such a rare unspoiled oasis on this planet.. Using insulation and double glazing so wisely has given Rosie and her partner the ability to put in so many windows without the heating and cooling costs soaring.. This is an awe-inspiring result for a beginner, such a majestic setting of Mother Nature in all her glory. What an incredible location, using and reusing materials fittings and fixtures just adds to the unique appeal - Truly one of a kind, home and a rare gem of a location... I don't think I would want to leave, Rosie, if only you could work remotely from home in another or similarly adjacent field. But I suppose it wouldn't be as much of a luxurious retreat if you lived there full-time, you may become a hermit in this paradise!! Well done indeed, a Spectacular Achievement, I love you have collected things you've kept (horded) from op shops. She has created a feature from every room, ..a breathtaking view of not just the Forest, but the natural light is part of the interior design, it enhances this oasis on a grand scale.. I can imagine how much the colours will dance on the walls inside during sunrise and sunset and how the night sky and the stars without light pollution out there - None of the creature comforts have been compromised here, to wake up each morning from this Huge King-size bed facing the views from 3 sides, and falling asleep to the sparkle of the stars... Ahhhh the Serenity!! What a wonderful space nestled in and around a stunning place!! From first light at sunrise until the moon rises in the night sky, I can imagine would be a kaleidoscope of living Colours through all those gorgeous windows! This is my dream house now!! I would love to see more photos of Sunrise and Sunset and of the Stars at night. What is the name of this Forest ? - Are you allowed to rent it out like an Airbnb when you aren't using it? To pay off your mortgage, while sharing the place with highly rated guests who respect your sanctuary and leave no trace.. I would love to see it for myself to just have a private tour..
I think this is the first tiny home I've seen that made me go 'that's exactly what I want!' With a few minor tweaks - I wouldn't need such a big kitchen. The tool chests for kitchen cabinets is nothing short of genius, though! And those views. I swear that the only reason anyone really goes tiny is to find somewhere they can look out on really beautiful scenery every day.
@Chiamano She said 60 sqm of living space, that's about 645 sqft, not 2,500. Not really tiny, but still small, and what she's managed to do with that space is impressive.
@@_asphobelle6887 but it is not a tiny house. 95% of people call that a normal size house. It is huge for one person only.
@@_asphobelle6887 Including the mud room, five 20-foot containers is 800 square feet. Which is what I have to build in most Southern California communities. San Bernardino County now allows 150 SQUARE FEET! So I could do one 40-foot container. 800 square feet is reasonable though.
The fact that she as a married woman still kept space for herself to have her dream home exactly as she wanted it is amazing to see! Such a great example I will be showing my daughter
@ThePotatoMouse
@ThePotatoMouse exactly! Everyone deserves their own safe space. Married couples deserve this too! I assume the husband also has his own version of what is often called a "man cave" in whatever form best fits him. This breaths fresh life into the marriage. Its such a loving gesture
@@clarissag4454 ..Listen to the word closely..Why the man space is considered a ""Cave""?.😶.
@ThePotatoMouse Maybe he has a girlfriend.
Thanks... yes my husband and I are both introverted so like heaps of time to ourselves. I love spending most weekends walking outside in the bush, clearing and resetting predator traps . My husband is a huge gamer so loves to spend most weekends on his computer/Playstation etc so its the best of both worlds. We both get time to ourselves and have things to talk about when we see each other at the end of the weekend.
Just for the library alone, you goy my respect 🙌🏼🫡🫡
This is my favorite so far! I love Rosie, her home, and her energy. Truly magnificent.
Absolutely love this home. The floor-to-ceiling bookshelf really stands out to me!
I couldn't imagine having a house like that and not being able to stay full time. I'd cry every time I had to leave.
Can we please talk about the level of Doctor Who fandom? Rosie, we might be best friends in another life. I love the design of the house and the amount of space given to the library. This is 100% my favorite container home so far.
Omg I love this home! And my heart melted when I saw the Tardis teapot!
Same! She is my virtual kindred spirit. Sci fi, container home, off grid, Dr Who, BOOKS, proper ‘industrial’ kitchen... and a totally lovely person.
Yep.
Yes! I had to stop the video to look at the Dr Who wall!
Loved the Doctor Who wall, can’t believe I missed the T-pot!
This is one of my all time fave homes on this channel! Just beautiful and so well done! Thanks Rosie for sharing your brilliant home with us!! xoxo
This house is breath taking. Building my own dream tiny home one day is my DREAM. 💖
Same.
This home is dream to me...to live in woods near mountains.... Scenery , Telescope and & library is what m dying for ...
Then live for it my friend! Make a realistic goal, and make it happen!
You'd be surprised at what you can accomplish if you set your mind to it. 20 years ago I was sleeping on a cot in my mother's basement, bankrupt from a one sided divorce. (I'm a man) But, I never lost sight of my dreams. Today I live in my dream house backing on to a forest. No, I didn't do it all on my own. I did it with the help of a wonderful woman-- don't give up on people; don't give up on yourself.
Bhai Bhai
Is it not risky near the woods ??
It is my dream as well to have a container home. It doesn't have to be as fancy as hers
Rosie is clearly a Doctor Who fan with those posters in her library!!! Such a beautiful home in a spectacular location!!! 😊
And her teapot set!
This is the most beautiful and most practical Tiny house I've ever seen. And located in an absolutely amazing place. Such house I'd love to move in immediatelly! ❤️ The best of the best! And the night sky! I hate artificial lights at night. Night shall be dark. In one word, amazing!
I’m absolutely blown away by the library…for me, it’s the best feature of an incredible home! It’s just stunning!
I honestly wish we could could have seen the night-time view, I can only imagine how beautiful the sky would be with so little light pollution
This is the biggest tiny house I have ever seen.

@@louisegogel7973 for sure!
This is such a beautiful home. It inspired me with a multitude of ideas to add to it. The painting inside, her daughter created, with Wash's (from the syfy tv series Firefly) phrase, made me remember the story of that episode & cry but love that she had added it to her mom's home. I immediately sent this video to my daughter.
It’s absolutely stunning. Well done, Rosie!
FINALLY, a tiny home for booklovers!
I know! I have thousands of books and 95% of them read. The 5% are encyclopedias etc. on WWII, Game Farming, Art & DIY manuals, Animals, bugs, birds.. We downsized to a much smaller house. I want to get back to my farmland roots, but the cost of land plus a homestead is just too much. This idea can really work! When the world goes to hell in a basket and the internet disappears mankind will once again appreciate books. Bah, who wants/needs kindle? Folks, just remember to carry lots and lots of spares for everything and the less moving parts for things & tools etc. the better. The day might come when you can't hop down to the nearest shop. To me Tiny House and off grid means being really self-sufficient and prepped to go it alone for a minimum of 2 years. Here in South Africa life like this is becoming ever more of a future reality as our country has been bankrupted by the politicians, we are almost on our knees financially and infrastructure now almost non-existent. Bryce, thank you for this. Of all the tiny houses this one is truly practical for me and such an inspiration.
You can burn them when you run out of wood.
Or book showers!
It’s an adorable house, but holy moly, that’s a lot for a tiny house
I don't think this is a tiny house, more accurately it's just a container house.
It's a normal house.
NZD to Euro = 0,59, to USD = 0.72 So NZD 450k = €267k = $325k Considering it is build in a nature reserve, plus containers transport and craftsmen who had to work remotely, i think its a reasonable price
@@loriannrichardson7644 thx for the clarification.
@@yellfire you would need permission to build there. Her father must run shit.
I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS A SHIPPING CONTAINER HOME !! THIS LOOKS AMAZING 👏🏽
Excellent concept: clear out a section of forest to preserve it! Let's all do that!
Well we "all" won't do that.
Shipping container homes are always just SO cool.
Yep no need for inflation of lumber what a joke
the view is just absolutely STUNNING!!!
I repeatedly exclaimed, "oh my god" every time the views were shown. And THAT night sky. Holy s#%*^! Amazing, it's a shame that noone lives in it during the week.
The library 🤩 The telescopes, the panoramic living room, bedroom and deck. What a dream house!!! My favorite one hands down, this house is my life's inspiration..
The tool cabinets and rollaway island wow 💡🤩 Edit: AND THE LIBRARY 😍🥰 yes
This is by far one of the most beautiful off-the-grid houses I have ever seen. The location, the design, the whole idea. Truly fabulous!
Agreed!👍 Details... top notch! ✌️
That orange wall..."it glows at sunrise sunset", what attention to detail when designing a space. Well done.
What an amazing home! I just can't image this, yet it's all true in sight. Love it!
This home is gorgeous! So much the owner and what she likes and her thoughts out into the home. The decor isn’t my taste but I can still appreciate it tremendously! Thanks for sharing your home with us!
Of all the shipping containers converted into a home videos, this one is the best I've seen.
The tool cabinets as shelves is super clever. It's common for drawers of those be able to hold tons of weight (50kg), drawers can typically extend all the way out for easy access to the back of drawers, and the cabinets aren't too expensive. Definitely took some notes on this idea.
That personal library is a thing of beauty!
I would be interested to learn more about how the water system works--how it is captured, filtered, pumped, etc. The tool cabinets to replace kitchen cabinetry are pure genius. Also, as a newer person to tiny homes, it would be interest to see how windows and doors are added. Smart to capture inverter waste heat. They can put off a lot of heat for a small box.
The kitchen cabinets are a good idea. Very functional, but I'm not fond of the color.
I was wondering the same thing about the water. Would love to see a video on that! 😃
I love that they've bucked the trend and decided to build with multiple containers. The result seems to me to be a more liveable long-term space, and one that could reasonably accommodate any guests for short stays. It would therefore be a better place to socialize in, and to shelter in when the weather turns nasty. Lovely.
When my husband and I talk about going tiny, this floor plan is pretty much what we've talked about. It feels social and spacious.
Shipping containers do extremely well in inclement weather too 👍
That home has a lot of character. Even though I appreciate the clean minimalism, a creative, character filled home is delightful
There are some ideas done with this home that I've fallen in love with. For one, that kitchen cabinetry being done as tool carts- brilliant! This home has the same kind of shape I've envisioned as well. Absolutely beautiful location.
@ragungscorpio2969 It's hard to believe but you nearly verbatim took the words from my head & commented a good deal of time before me. Well said and thank you already!
What an incredible and beautiful home with a spectacular view outside. This looks very cozy and private, I can imagine living in a house like this for years.
Being off grid isn't an easy way to go for everyone, but she seems to have built in all the comforts of home. Love the 'normal' bathroom, and the tool trollies in the kitchen. I have been thinking of that for my "tiny (mobile) home." Love that they are considered caretakers of the piece of property they are on. So smart. Thanks, Bryce for yet another amazing video of a great home. Something we would never see if it weren't for you and Rasa. Keep up the good work.
"sissies" is toxic lingo, sexist
@@rustybeddingfield227 yet another reason why I no longer live in the US. You take everything to extremes and think you have a monopoly on self righteousness and EXTREME and meaningless political correctness. It’s an expression. Get over yourself. So you, in your whole 20-something years of living, won’t use it. Aren’t you just so much better than everyone else who came before you!
@@sarahrosen4985 Bruh calm down Rusty is saying that because even if the user of the phrase means nothing bad by it, where do you think the expression came from? Extremely sexist people in more generally sexist times. So even though it might seem like a tiny insignificant thing to you, it can impact someone's life to an insane extent hearing phrases and such that are rooted in sexism on a daily basis. So quit your blabbering and let Rusty make their comment. No one asked you why you no longer live in the US... sounds like you just want to rant to everyone. And they said 5 words while you called them taking it to the extreme, while you used wayyy more words-hypocritical. And why do you think they think they are better than everyone else that came before them? Probably your own insecurities, but honestly I couldn't guess. That last sentence and most of your comment is rude, presumptuous, hypocritical, and unnecessary. So stop getting butthurt that someone is trying to rid the world of phrases with sexist beginnings because they are just being a good person. Jeez I never comment but yours was so rude and illogical I had to respond and address specifically why.
@@sarahrosen4985 I understand non-targeted use of words, but your reply could have been "Ah, My bad mate" because it's similar to using the N word as a white person and then lashing out on someone who corrects your lack of consideration. It is however, of course, your choice to use whatever words you want.
@@WeiFinder Thing is, the comment wasn't even directed at her. Rusty was replying to small footprint but Sarah thought her opinion was needed.
I'm obsessed with this. This is exactly how I would want a shipping container home, down to the colors! The orange is PERFECT!!!!
Agree
I agree as well. Pretty well thought out and totally beautiful
The dark exterior will make it very hot which if fine for the winter . In fact , by covering part of the exterior with a frame with class or plexiglass you can run interior air through it as a solar thermal heating system with a low amp fan . It works, because I have one that puts out 180 degree heat in 10 degree winter days.
Got 450 000 $ and 50km²? There you go
As an OT am proud of you for Rosie for what you have achieved, and for using your OT knowledge in designing an accessible bathroom to help you become functionally independent in your old age
Dear Rosie, I've been watching your container home up in the "sky" covered by "cloud" of flora and fauna, many time. What a lovely place!. I also like the kitchen. Its not just spacious but its facing to the magnificent view of mountain which I believe able to make a cook do the cooking much more relaxer than ever. Thanks for sharing your home with us.
Honestly the way the world is going this seems better choice by far.. Living is key, living In simplicity is calling more..
If people are rich enough to live Ike this, sure.
You don’t have to be rich to live like this if you know how to manger your money right……..I have been thinking about buying me acres of land and living like this when I retire
@@carlamarie72able Not everyone have the privilege to be born in first world states with ample opportunities to move up the social ladder. On the plus side, they already are living in tiny "homes"...except with 5-10 other people. lol
agreed!
Yeah, uh huh....riiigghht, simple living. Ha!! For those who can AFFORD it!!
Rosies home is absolutely stunning and with a real library which i haven't seen in tiny homes.the location is a veritable paradise,so beautiful and serene
I don't think the "tiny house powers that be" have ever defined the exact measurements of a tiny house but I would think this falls into small house territory. There are, what? Five containers at 5x20 which is 500 sq ft.
One of my top considerations for my OTG cabin is where I am going to put our books. This is the first shipping container home that I remember seeing someone with a similar sized library to mine. Surrounded by nature and knowledge is my idea of heaven. Her home is fantastic, especially the library!
Stunner home ,great vibes and she has such a great taste .Library and its arrangement was too good .
That library, hhhnnnnngggg. Her taste in reading material is impeccable and was what really won me over. I'm a fully heterosexual cis woman and I low-key want to marry this lady, lol
Wait a minute: was that a Tardis teapot? Even if the home and view weren't spectacular, which of course they totally are, I just gotta love the Doctor Who ambiance!
Hello Kathy, how are you doing?
Never ever thought I would be jealous of someone living in a shipping container! The house is fantastic but the view is beyond fantastic!
Shipping container is a stretch, I'd call it an industrial themed home with corrugated siding. Shipping container living at this comfort level is neither cheap or virtuous from a building standpoint since the shipping container is an ever present and limiting obstacle that has to be worked around. From a construction standpoint, when you really study images of finished well appointed container homes like this, you'll see what it took to pull it off and the answer is a lot of engineering costs, structural upgrades and cash. Did you notice that the kitchen is double deep so there's entire walls missing in two containers which required structural upgrades for one example. I don't dislike these homes, I just don't like the false virtuousness that people believe that don't understand the reality of construction involved.
Beautiful House And Property!!....Tool Box Cabinets...Good Idea!!....Sliding Barn Door, Great!!.....And the Deck Is Great Too!!
I would add the patio hangover on it ❤
I love the shipping container house and I love what she has done to it. And I realize house prices in Auckland must be very high because she is not upset about $450,000. Holy cow!
NZ dollars*
Housing is expensive here in NZ. Median price of a house in Auckland is currently NZD$1.125 million. Average annual salary in Auckland $67,000.
Auckland house prices start at 800k (an absolute shit box) but most are at least 1 million or more
Yea I was quite blown away by the price as well, especially because it seemed like she bought most of the interior elements at a bargain.
Yes, high as he$$. Sheesh
Japanese people watching this are like "Where is the tiny house?" and I agree. This has more square footage than most standard UK terraced houses.
The kitchen is certainly bigger than the one in my apartment. Like about 6 times bigger
On 23 acres
Really I thaught it was quite small but I guess its just a Swedish thing, that's interesting
@@josef1049 you obviously don’t watch this channel regularly. Watch his other videos with “tiny” houses. Doesn’t matter where you are. This isn’t really tiny at all.
It’s actually only houses in Tokyo are small, not entire Japan. Most families don’t live in Tokyo but commutable suburbs. Average homes in suburbs have 2-3 bathrooms, 4-5 bedrooms, a guest room plus common rooms like living and dining room etc., and two car garages. You need a car to get around these suburbs though.
Location, location, what a marvellous location she got there. Even a million dollar apartments wouldn't have this kind of surrounding views.
I remember this one time when I worked as a fedex boxtruck driver in the middle of my delivery route in AZ when I felt a jolt in my browneye meter. it was very unfortunate because there was no nearby restrooms and I avoid them if I can anyways, so I improvised. There happened to be supplies, here is a list; a bucket I used to wash the inside of my van with, toilet paper roll for a stuffy nose the previous day, a huge bottle of hand sanitizer (germs ew) and a BUTT load of water. I added 4 bottles of water into the bucket, added some sanitizer for stench and toilet paper for splash back. I found a nice quiet place under some trees and waited for my browneye meter to alert me once again. It did. I ran back sat on my Trump bucket and.... BAM! I forgot to lock my side door and there was a nosey-body banging on my door to 'politely' ask if I had anything for them. As I was in the middle of the fight of my life I could not answer, but this anxious or otherwise impatient person would not relent. I was almost there, I was grunting and knew I did not have much time. I had to try though. I had to prevail and I would have done anything in that moment to win this most graceful duel of dukes. The busy afternoon and cars rustling about suddenly went quiet. I had a few seconds to concentrate to make this happen. It was as if I paused Arizona and I took advantage of this opportunity and FINALLY made it happen! I was relieved! I hovered over my bucket in shock and awe as my insides adjusted. I must of had the biggest crooked smile on the planet because right when I was about to turn off auto bucket hover the nosey-body decided to look in the front window of my van only to see a middle aged, but VERY handsome lad with a huge smile on his face stumble over his superman briefs into a bucket of victory as he realized he was being watched when the woman started uncontrollably screaming! I worked for fedex for 2 more hours.
Introverts: how far you wana go away from civilization? This lady: yeees
When I was searching for my property the further away I got the more right I knew it was, but 20 years later they still found me and moved next door
Honestly, I saw a tiny home video of someone in the snowy mountain of Alaska and was like that was so cool.
Using Tool carts for the cabs is absolutely brilliant!!
Cabinets must be insanely expensive in NZ, cause 3k for that few of cabinets? Hell no.
@@williameldridge9382 yes, overpriced as fuck. Best to build your own.
I love the Billy Holiday painting with Life is Beautiful. God bless the child.....
Such a sweet and smart lady, im happy that she reads a lot of interesting books,. Reading book will feel much better with that forest energy. Not many reading anymore. Stay alive and happy miss.
I am more of a shabby cottage type gal...BUT this appeals on so many levels. Rosie has made a dream reality...and a dream home it is! Well done Rosie.
High five for shabby cottage gang! XD I love a rough and cobbled-together eccentric-weirdo aesthetic. But I somehow still can't help but binge these videos with stars in my eyes at all the modern aesthetic things people creatively come up with, lol!
"How did you manage to do this?" "I have a lot of money!"
Right ? 450k? Hahaha I immediately lost interest when she said that.
Houses are expensive, where I live it cost over $1mil usd for a 2 bedroom apartment. This is ridiculously cheap in comparison, better and larger too. Though I would get Starlink for internet
@Yorak Hunt 80k for an acre of land in New Zealand. She has 23 so that's 1.8 Million NZD. Definitely not cheap here.
And in Sydney we would pay 800k for an apartment that size and you’d be lucky if you view wasn’t a brick wall 🤣
funny how all our dreams come with a price tag.. guess I'll dream of my next meal.
WOW 😍 Most beautiful container home I’ve ever seen! The orange in the kitchen. / main room. It was stunning & the views were spectacular. I’d never want to leave this home.
She's so fun and lively and her home is beautiful and thoughtoutm thank you for sharing her with us. She made me smile through the whole vifeo
This is by FAR the best house you've shown yet. The shipping container setup alone would be good anywhere, but that view, entirely off-grid, incidental clothes and kindling drier, and the nature conservation aspect are all so great. Then the library and the telescopes. Absolutely epic. Wow!
I agree, Jamie 🔙 Bainbridge!!! 😃
for $450k, I hope so.
"Future proofing" ... great idea and catchy phrase. The home is just perfect.
These are made by special shipping containers it can be design and install on a cool environment that's is suitable by our client
The interior was not very future-proof, though. All of those shelves and nooks and crannies (such as her wine bottles) collect dust and are areas to hide bugs. I used to work in home healthcare - weak people cannot reach higher shelves or clean things well. She's already over-weight, so will really struggle to keep up that place. While she is relatively healthy, she should re-design the hard-to-maintain aspects of the house.
The term future proofing is used in pc building all the time lol
Completely stunning. Love the land she's on especially.
Wow! That place is a dream come true! I'd almost kill for a kitchen like that. Clever, artistic people do such amazing things. The toolbox cabinets are genius. LOVE the look!
This house is, by far, the best and most incredible home of all the videos I've seen. Everything was breath taking down to the water tanks! ha! Perfect colors, perfect views! Incredible!
Finding a piece of land like that, in the middle of a bush forest, on top of a hill? WOW love the open space., sunlight and peace, off grid beauty
Hello there how are you doing... it’s a pleasure to meet you and I will be very glad if I can get to know you better... if you don’t mind!!!
you see industrial containers on the outside, then a beautiful vibrant home on the inside, don't judge a book by its cover fits this so well 😀
The only word is “wow”. Incredibly beautiful and functional home and property.
Hello Shelly, how are you doing?
