At 6’3, owner Kari is quite tall and certainly not someone you would expect to be living in a tiny house, but thanks to some great design with the help of her father, a retired architect, this modern home has been cleverly crafted to perfectly fit her needs.
The decision to move into a tiny house on wheels was largely to do with a desire to live artfully, giving Kari the time and space to create her art, her books and live a life of her choosing. Her beautiful modern tiny house has found an ideal parking spot only minutes from downtown Portland, allowing her to live the city life while still having her own space.

Kari has written several beautiful books on her travels such as ‘The Art of Walking: An Illustrated Journey on the Camino de Santiago.’ This can be found on Amazon here: amzn.to/2D98vTr
She has also recently started a podcast which is all-out the journey of the Pilgrim. I’ve recently recorded an episode with her and this can be found here: pilgrimlost.com/podcast

Hey all! I hope you enjoy this weeks video tour of this beautiful modern tiny house. As a tall person myself, I can really appreciate so many of the clever design touches in this home. How cool is that shower idea too! Such a clever idea. Thanks for watching! With love, Bryce & Rasa
Living Big In A Tiny House, I enjoyed this too! The architecture is very inspiring. I hope to reach as many people about design with my channel as you have someday. Check me out let me know what you think!
Hi Bryce and Carrie, It is really awesome that you make such videos. I love a lot of your videos which appreciate living in a much extroverted way. I just had a question about the bed in Carrie's house, and the bathroom area/ Washing Machine/ Refrigerator area. I want to know how you are fitting all of these things in such a small space? I loved the concept but didn't understand why you went the way you did, as I want to do something similar but for 2 people? also I wanted the exact same bed at my home for the last 10 years, but didn't find this concept video anywhere, so didn't know who to contact. I am a engineer, so I can do the bed part, but I want some guidance. Thank you for reading and Lots of love from India. Regards, Himanshu
Thank you for bringing this tiny house to us! Lovely! Like many, I want to know how it works... I can see there are pulleys on each end of the bed, and a remote operated electric winch lowering the bed platform on steel cables... how did they hide the cables so seamlessly so they all look like part of the wall design? And how is it powered?
I love it, I totally agree, what a clever idea for the shower. I love the whole setup.
Happy Sundsy from South Australia! Perfect way to stsrt the day - sitting on my front verandah with a coffee, watching this inspiring video. I'm only 5'11" but I too really appreciate this space built for taller people. That shower concept is brilliant! ! Thanks for sharing.
Her dad deserves a design award for the shower! He created a huge paradigm shift in tiny house livibility....
Katherine McChesney you sound bitter
Katherine McChesney he’s taken it to the next level and made it more practical. The other ones I’ve seen have the clothes stored in the shower and need to be shifted ....
@@TheresaPowers - He might have gotten the idea from someone else, but he expanded on the idea and made it much bigger. Nothing wrong with giving praise to them both. : )
This is just a guess.. I watched another Tiny Home video, and it was a woman in Alaska doing the builds and she used many of the same things in this video. The bed came down and the walls moved for the bathroom. I'm sure you can still search for it here on KZhead. This was a beautiful build.
@@lilybats7215 - Are you talking about Anna White? She did a good job on that one, too. I saw that a few years ago. I've seen others with the pull-down beds as well.
First time Bryce looks shorter than his guests.
🤣🤣
Me at 5’9 😞
Hosts not 'guests' 😉
@@umitkurt9255 I mean "guests", on his channel. Regards.
You right
When she said “I do have a shower”, I thought it was gonna come down from the ceiling like the bed... plot twist it came out of the floor 👀
Same 😂
She is so well spoken and her story for why she has a tiny home is so unique.
I swear she could be Bryce's twin, from her conversation style to her positive personality. Them talking about the struggle of tall people made me feel like they're taking to a mirror lol
The hidden shower and the remote controlled lowering of the sleep loft is amazing
Yess
Absolutely
Humidity may kill the wardrove
Kind of reminds me of the movie Fifth Element
I know, probably my most fave layout ever!
She's living such a humble and nice life with no care in the world. Travelling, writing books, working on Art. What a calm life.
Siham Wahidi If you look at the information Bryce listed above; Kari sells her books of travel with pictures of her art, like in this video, on Amazon. There is a link to it up above comments. Kari and Bryce also did a podcast and that link is listed above in the information also.
Getting laid.
True and looking so classy too....
Something about your name tells me you’re Moroccan!! Am I right??
Rockers Mood I am Palestinian
This is one of the best tiny homes I’ve ever seen. The shower and bed is one of my favourites. Omg I need this so badly. I wish she posted the plan somewhere😢
I know right!? I need lots of tiny house plans to make mine but can't find any I like a lot!!
Please don’t cry Everliza🤗, just show the video to an architect, and they can draw similar plans, but with your ideas instead😃. Good luck 👍🏽
I would buy it
I think u should definitelly contact her and her dad and buy the plan from them, i d like to do the same once actually
My sister just said this after we finished the whole video, "How do you divorce such brilliance!" And i couldn't agree more!!!! The bathroom idea🙌🏿😍
@F U Money I think we can tell she's not crazy. Honestly marriages end for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes people just grow apart.
F U Money or maybe the man she married is the crazy one 🤷🏼♀️ you never know
Sometimes people hold you back from your own brilliance.
Why are we assuming her partner left her?
She is clearly damaged by her divorce and I don't mean that is a hateful way, but in a sympathetic way. You also don't know her at all or the type of person she chose to marry.
When they first showed the bed, I was like, "That is terrible. Where'd her feet go? And where is the ladder?" Then she lowered the bed. Mind blown!!!
wavingdragon right???!?! And the hideaway shower. Fking clever. Love thus house
wavingdragon I thought the same thing!
Same here 😱
wavingdragon Exactly what I was thinking.
Such a genius way to make a small space feel bigger
That hidden shower is brilliant! What a beautiful home.
Glad you like it!
Looks good but having gone through plumbing and leaking issues in my regular home, i'd almost guarantee some water always gets out and will over time, damage the floor and likely also the timber closet that slides over it.
SolPhoebusApollo that slide and hide shower was amazing.
LOVE the shower idea!!!
@@PixelBaller I would think so too unless she's really careful or wipes up the water after use.
One of the best tiny houses IMO. The bed on railing & the hidden shower, not to mention the amazing wardrobe, are simply superb! What an amazing woman! Hope she finds true companionship & happiness in life! Kudos to her parents too for their input.
I have watched at least 50 tiny house videos. This is by far the best. My favorite part is the bed. Her innovative lowering of the bed is superior to those tiny loft sleeping areas. The bathroom had a marvelous sense of spaciousness. I especially loved her closet. In all other tiny house videos, I was left wondering if all owners limited themselves to a wardrobe of jeans and T shirts and gym shoes.
She speaks so eloquently. Her voice is beautiful
She was held back and was put through English twice, that's why she's so eloquently spoken.
Yessss
I agree and shes beautiful with a nice figure.....
I’ll tell you what Bryce. Even more than the tiny homes you show us, I find your videos a beacon of hope in the world for the people you interview. My heart is filled with joy because there are people in the world like this woman. Thank goodness. The home? Absolutely stunning...I love it. I would live there and in that setting forever...Portland is a great city.
So true.
Very much agree!
Well said and I agree
I very much agree. Maybe even more than the lovely tiny houses. The people who choose to live small, are a ray of sunshine bringing hope. Maybe humans will not cover every single open space on earth. Maybe we will learn to live smaller, neater, more conscious of our impacts. Maybe.
Sandy Allen well aren't you just the most loving creature in the YT comments❤️ I love your sweetness and positivity. Best wishes from me to you🌀🌀🌀
Love that she can raise/lower the bed over her living room. The sliding wardrobe/shower combo is a fantastic use of space. I think she's coined a new term re: 'tall tiny'.
I really love that idea that tiny houses free up space; monetarily, mentally, temporally, and physically.
I love the way she speaks, I feel like she’d do great with a podcast
Alaina da Costa or Asmr artist
Agreed. I wondered while listening if she has a career in speaking or communicating on a professional level.
She does have podcasts. She did one with Bryce also. The link is above.
Kari also sells her books with her artwork and adventures. The link for them on Amazon is also listed above. 🤗
@@goodliving2171 Ooh awesome thanks! I'll be sure to give it a listen :D
I really like her demeanor. She seems really sweet, sincere, and most of all.... HAPPY!!
Yes she seems very positive
divorce does it .
I really enjoyed listening to her story and what she had to say. I really agree with you.
I agree! I aspire to be this non-problematic and free lmao
She also articulates really well
Her dad should win an award. He's a genius!
As a tall woman, I appreciate the bed; tiny homes usually have a coffin loft that I can't get with. Well done!
She is adorable and well spoken. Classic feeling to the build!
Yes, she really articulated her vision for the house well.
Heather Morehouse Yes i really like her articulation! Her conciseness!!!
She is beautiful.
She reminds me of Jennifer Garner
The way she speaks is soothing to the ears.😍
Shes soothing on the eyes as well..
Completely agree with you
I'm about to comment the same
And she’s tall 🥴
Food Niche she has the voice of a yoga instructor.
Round of applause for the most brilliant Shower.......... WOW !!!!!
Congratulations!!! This is wonderful! Last year, day after I turned 70, a tornado, put a huge very old oak tree in the middle of my mobile home that I was living in. Everything was paid off, it was an old mobile home so I didn't insure it. My mistake. Well, to make a long story short, I am living in a 32 ft rv trailer on my land, had a deck built over it with storage and laundry room at one end. I'm very happy in my tiny space. Yours is so beautiful with your architectural and artistic touches!!! I really love living in my tiny space!!!
I’m 6’3” and always considered about living in a tiny home. She has made that blessing more comfortable and free. She pushed it further for me to build my space
i think she's 6'5". because the guy is 6'5". edit: My bad. he's 6'4". So she's either the same height or a bit shorter than him.
Aww, that's beautiful! Made me Seriously tear up. Do it! Cheering you on from Colorado! ❤
This is the SMARTEST layout ever on a tiny home. The hidden shower is absolutely genius.
agreed :)
Yea, all you need are family members that are architects and construction workers and you can have a place like this
Most people live in much larger homes than this. What is your problem, just jealousy? Why don't you use your brain for realizing your full potential so you can make dream come true for yoursel, instead of watching videos of others and making negative remarks out of jealousy. Get out and make things happen, man! You can do it. Work hard, work smart and save every cent you reasonably can. I'm going to! 🤗 Life is what you make it... Yeah, bad things happen in life too, but that's life. Peace. May you have many blessings and a wonderful life. 🙏🏼
It is nice that her dad is an architect, but a carpenter can figure a the dimensions to build a house. She paid the carpenter for the build. You can even buy an inexpensive shed or barn from Home Depot, etc. and have a carpenter use that to build you a home. It can look a lot different when done.
For me the best part of this Tiny house is see how this house literally represent her FREEDOM. She feels so free 😍
I think this is my fave tiny home by far. Being a tall woman as well, this would be super functional. I would absolutely love this. That hideaway shower is brilliant. My fave part is the bed. I love that function
Yes, this is one of my all time favorite episodes. Brilliant. I loved the bed that could be lowered and when I saw the secret shower, I lost my mind. I return to this episode again and again, because the design is amazing.
How much was it to build?
I love what she says, “Tiny living frees up space!” Sometimes less is truly MORE!
Yeah ,tiny . Those containers are 8 feet wide . It's basically a closet. And a wood frame could be made for less money .
@@boracay12 💓🤩🤩😍🥰💕💗💖💖
Yeah so cool . 8x20 is 160 sq feet . A 12x13 bedroom is 156 sq feet . Now put a bathroom and a kitchen and a dining room and a living room.and cabinet space and closet space and a bed into that 156 sq ft . So cool .. Not even for one day .
There are some pretty cool elements here. She and her dad should consider making this design for sale. I love the idea of her non-loft bed and the shower
"non-loft bed"😆😆😆
I would buy that design! Or the house. Just saying!!
She is sooo fortunate to have a dad who helped her make this *beautiful* big tiny home ❣️❣️❣️
I just finished building my 800 square feet home last week. I thought I did a very good job on design and space management until I see this video. This is so awesome looking home, the design was sleek, style, great space management/functionality , and most of all it is beautiful. I think this young lady and her dad can open up a tiny home business where he can be in charge of architectural design, and she can in charge of all operations, sales, public relations. Together they will build a very successful business. Best of everything to you and your dad, it's such a delightful watching your video. Thank you.
Bryce is the best host ever! He really listens and let the guest talk.. so much respect 🙌🏼
I think she n her dad n sister can venture on a tiny house business..im sure it would be successful.
Running a business like that is a LOT of work and I doubt she wants that.
Your dad is a freaking genius! This is truly incredible!
As a 5’ 10” woman, this is the first time I’ve felt like I could actually make a tiny house space really WORK for me. The shower, the bed option, the counters…YES YES YES. Thank you so much! I’m going to “steal” some of those ideas…
This is the most unique and beautiful house I have ever seen from. That sliding bed and bathroom is just genius. Love it
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed the tour.
The best features were hidden shower and the bed!
Yes my thoughts exactly particularly with sliding bed is a smart idea because it doesn't felt tiny when it's lowered down very comfty😉
A lot of comments about the sliding shower, which are warranted, but let's have some love for that bed! What a genius idea!
Agree!!!
I also like that wardrobe concept.
It's used more often in Tiny houses. Clever interior though and very creatieve, IT looks cosy
I love the design of that bed.
Totally agree. The bed is awesome and I look forward to incorporating it into my future tiny home :)
I wish her a blessed life. Her efforts, hard working and clarity of mind shows her life experience. May God bless you sister.
This tiny home is actually my favorite so far because it seems the most innovative. The lowering bed and shower really are clever ways to save space!.
Everything about this home is gorgeous. Having an architect’s input does save time and money overall (especially if it’s your father!) so kudos to Dad too!
👏
I'm loving these videos! After losing my beautiful home in the 2009 crash, I watch with such happiness for those who have found a better solution to live free. I'm a renter now, and I nested with a vengeance after having been homeless. After watching your videos, I've decided to declutter, simplify, and let go of the grief of the past. Thanks for the inspiration and message that home is how much you live, not how much you have. And less is more if you decide to make it so. xo Aurora
Good luck with your Journey! I'm sure, you are on theright way!
Andreas Feustel Thank you for you kind and supportive comment!
Dawn Adriana I too lost my home and my stock portfolio that same year. Hang tight...I’m 6ft 3 too.
@@dennissutton3767 I'm so very sorry to hear that. You're standing tall, though :)
God bless you and much love to you.
This is definitely one of the coolest most functional tiny homes I’ve ever seen. Love how the bed and wardrobe are movable to position over less frequently used spaces.
Another incredible tiny home, and with a TALL person living in it. I am 6'2" and I know that this will be taken into consideration when I build my Tiny Home.
My hubs is 6 ' 3", and it does make us look at things differently.
When you are tall, you need to have furniture and sinks at your height. I litterally break my back everytime I do the dishes (I am 1,82meter, apparently in english you say 6ft)
Would love to do the tall counters for my son who is 6’2”. His back hurts all the time from frequently bending for counters and sinks.
@@alicefaitdescarabistouille924 -Hilarious. "1.82meter, apparently in english you say 6ft"
She is beautiful I love her personality her lipstick and haircut is so adorable. I love how the bed lower down this is brilliant
P La Isn’t she great!
She's lovely. Is that you in your profile pic?
I agree. She's beautiful. Her lilac hair and red lipstick 💄 suits her
Would it matter if she was not good looking.
@@deanmartin380 for me everything would be the same except for the way I feel about the lady. So yes, to an extent.
Such a clever design, the shower/wardrobe is a genius space saver. It seems like she's got everything she needs to live life exactly as she wants and in such a small space, that's really impressive.
Yes
This is an amazing tiny house. She created a dream modern home and all the corner are wonderful used. All things fit incredible. Her project is marvellous and the decoration is pretty. She looks like a sweet and balanced person. I wish her all the best for her life. Thank you for share this beautiful and unique tiny house.
I really liked this home, especially the remote controlled drop down bed. I would have liked to have learned more about how that feature worked. The disappearing shower was brilliant.
This house is tiny and classy at the same time, it is one of my favorite houses on your channel
Thanks so much! Glad you like it.
But it 3 co zar Co
This is one of the best tiny homes that Ive seen.
Agreed, it seems very livable.
Agreed ,it looks really good..adorable one
I’m glad she gave credit to her dad and didn’t pull a “ I did this all by myself”. It looks great!
Kari seems to be a lovely person with a brilliant understanding of life ... Simplicity and happiness comes first :) Welcome Kari, what a beautiful, practical place you have
The shower is PURE GENIUS! OMG
It sure is! Thanks for watching. :)
@@livingbig Oh hi! Thanks for amazing and inspiring videos! :)
Hey Bryce wanted to let you know: because of your wonderful videos and the great people you have shown over the years we have decided to have a Tiny House person move onto our farm. We are very excited to have it and her here!!! So thanks!
What a great thing to do. 😊
You are helping someone live a dream and I think that is very inspiring. My hat is off to you.
@@noxen6376 Yeah, unfortunately she isn't able to move. So now we have to try and find someone else somehow that wants to live in the Boise Idaho area :-)
This tiny house is great, especially for the shower and the bed. Love seeing tiny house videos but the loft beds make me claustrophobic most of the time, this design was so refreshing.
Hands down one of the most gorgeous, livable, breathable and stylish tiny houses I’ve ever seen! What an ingenius, practical and aesthetically pleasing design throughout! Her father was obviously brilliant at his art. WOW.
Hello Gnarbel How are you doing today?
That bed is freaking amazing. Best idea ever. Instead of going to the bed, bring it to you. Well done 💯
“Tiny-living frees up space, it frees space in you budget, in your mind and in your way of living.” 👍🏻👍🏻😍
This is by far one of my favorite tiny houses and Kari seems like such a sweet person. I'm glad to see her happy, she deserves it! I hope I can have a tiny house like hers one day.
One of the best tiny homes, that hidden shower and bed. So creative and impressive!
Love the whole house, but the bed is fantastic, would be ideal for people who can't climb stairs or a ladder, safe travels !
agreed, its the perfect compromise between the comforts of a downstairs bedroom and the saved space of a loft one.
Those beds do exist for caravans, you can buy them. They are heavy, expensive and a technical complication. This tiny home is a way smarter application for that product than caravans that you actually use for traveling.
Or if you have a dog that's allowed to sleep on the bed...
This is definitely my favorite. A tall shower, room to sit on your own bed, living room and plenty of room for clothes/ storage! I could definitely live here . I can’t say that about most of the tiny homes I’ve seen. Wow
I love her thoughts on making sure all spaces have double functions. I think it’s amazing that this tiny home, has the spirit and collaboration of her mother and father in it. That’s what I call made with love and care. She’s also a fascinating person. You can see Bryce is fascinated with her story. The more you can think of creatively designing your own space, and doubling, or tripling a space, the greater your tiny home will be.
"Necessity is the mother of invention" - these videos are a never ending source of scathingly brilliant ideas! I get ridiculously excited each time I discover a new idea in these gorgeous tiny houses. 😂🌸🌸
Everytime Bryce enter a tiny house,he will always say this: -this is absolutely lovely -this is absolutely stunning -this is absolutely beautiful 😍😍😍
Haha so true, except when he opened the bathroom door on a pretty basic student build in Wellington New Zealand.. There he paused and said gasping 'this is cute'.
@@becmoran9119 haha that's right
Or "wow its so cozy!" if the space is especially small lol
Absolutely! 😻
@@JingerYeoh hey I've followed you on Instagram
Omg,that hidden shower is marvellous.
This woman's dad is a genius. The way that bed comes down, the full wardrobe, and the hidden shower. . . simply genius. The only weird thing is how the bathroom doesn't close off. But, other than that, I love this tiny house.
I live watching these videos with each person’s individual takes on tiny home living. I see something I like in each home so when I build my own tiny home I’ll incorporate some of what I’ve seen! 😍
Kari has done a great job moving on in life after her divorce. She's traveled and built a home that's designed ideally for her. Very happy for her.
Of all the tiny homes that i watch..hers is the best: design wise,storage and space is amazing and brilliantly made and planned..the adjustable bed n the bathroom vis a vi cabinet thingy..n foldable table n secret space compartment..even the design interior n exterior..good job!
Bradley Gaming I suggest you watch that tiny house castle episode they have on here. Your mind will be blown. It was the one with a couple and one kid and the woman was like a trapeze artist.
i need a tv tho
The idea of the sliding bed and ward drop is absolutely genius. I'd love to be able to live in that tiny house!
Genious is really overstating it, it's been in RV designs for a decade
Came back for a revisit on this one. Still one of my all time favorite designs. The hidden shower and bed lift just makes this small space so livable. And the modern “ Scandinavian” design makes it look clean yet comfortable.
She obviously got her dad's keen eye and artistic talent--her artwork is really good!
Finally one I think I could live in! :O I'm not tall, but with my mobility issues this house with the lowering bed works. Well done, I love it!
This is the best tiny house tour I’ve watched. Her father is an incredible designer! I absolutely love the bed and the shower
Absolutely brilliant result for $70,000. Definitely one of the best small homes I've seen.
Look at these two cutiee. Really bonding over being tall and having raised benchtops.
hahahahahahaha exactlyyy
She is gorgeous and so is her tiny house! As a tall myself, it's also cool to see a tiny house that fits two tall people so comfortably. Great design.
Exactly!
This is the best design I’ve ever seen for a tiny house. I’m in love with this house and the owner is just a sweetheart😍
She’s a delight! I could listen to her talk all day. So gracious and articulate!
Honestly, this is the perfect tiny house, she's got a work space, a kitchen table, a kitchen, a lounge, a bedroom, a bathroom, with tons of storage and such an open feel.
Love Kari's skandi aesthetic, what a beautiful living space!
Probably the most cleverly done tiny house you've shown. My favorite.
Lovely welcoming house in a beautiful setting....but most of all thanks to generosity of her friend Tom she was able to even think of making such a project....of couse dad's contribution topped it all.....well done all of you.....hello from Italy 💚
Yay for tall girls that can go tiny, love her build.
Im an Architect and when I saw the old school drawings I immediately hit the like before seeing the rest of the video.. Well done to you and your team Kari!!
So many fantastic ideas: the tall counters, the bed on tracks, the wardrobe that masks the shower. One of the best designs overall!
Hello Melinda How are you doing today?
I've looked at a lot of tiny house design and this is the first one with the clever bed setup and the hidden shower
Her home is so elegantly done. It's very warm and inviting and certainly very livable. Another great video and home Bryce. Kudos
Thanks Landon!
@@livingbig Anytime brother. Safe travels and looking forward to the next one.
Bryce, you and your partner really do an amazing job capturing these hidden gems. Thank you
Elevator bed, absolutely brilliant idea! Now that's an awesome tiny house for tall people, brilliance in every corner, congrats!
Love the freedom the tiny house demonstrates.
That tiny house is amazing! im sending this to all my friends who think theyre too tall to do it.
When they got in and did a pan from left to right I thought "where is the bed" then I looked up and noticed the bed but thought "how does she get up there." I then saw those clips on the wall and realized that they had to be moved to let the bed come down and it hit me! SO CLEVER. I also saw the shower curtain but couldn't figure out how they fit a shower. I did notice that that wardrobe seemed detached from the wall but it wasn't until she pushed it that I put (well she put it for me) two and two together! Again, SO CLEVER!
This tiny house is so fresh! I find the idea of living in a tiny space a little bit suffocating but her house is so bright, elegant, tidy and gives enough space to move easily. The solution for shower and bed was absolutely brilliant🌸
What a delightful woman. Amazing work on the home.
That's a great tiny house, it really suits her. I liked the lowering bed. Maybe that's a better design for most people than a bed in a loft space. Fantastic work by Kari and her father.
As someone who is 6'2", I would appreciate all the counter tops being sized for my height! Less back strain.
I never considered that. My next cabinet/counters will be taller! Lol
Prep on low benches or tables is the fucking worst
I am also tall, and have made counter risers for rentals I've lived in and saved my deposit money by doing this as well. Doing so created flat utensil ( oven pans/trays, chopping boards etc) under these risers. Fairly easy to do, easily finished off with granite or tile to adapt a built-in look. One place I did it in I actually raised the existing sink and reset it, replacing setting when I moved. Another place had a "farmhouse" trough style sink which I merely left in place. Both were quite satisfying.
Everytime he comes In a tiny house: THIS IS ABSOLUTELY LOVELY
