Tiny House on wheels The Sakura ENGLISH VERSION

What's up guys it's Phil from Minimalist. Welcome in the Sakura, our brand new design. We really wanted to make an English version of this video tour. We did a longer one in French but we really wanted to make one in English so that's what we're doing right now. So real quick I'm gonna start it right now with with the main lobby. Yes, so welcome in the lobby. We had a little hard time with this main lobby but mainly because of the the style of the door window that we have there but I think we figured it out. Yeah, we figured it out how to do it. We had a very short distance to make this this staircase so that was the main part of our struggle. So yeah and this is the staircase to go in the bedroom. So we really wanted to make a very comfortable stairs that you could like easily go up and down with without even looking down. So that's what we did. The other thing is that there is the the main electrical panel just behind those stairs so we we had to like really make this accessible so that was the second struggle. Another thing we wanted to do is that we wanted to like be able to take it out of the way a little bit because like it's kind of big in the entrance. So what we did is we did a staircase in two parts. So when you push it you have you save like maybe 20 inch so it gives a little more room in this lobby if you want if you have some guests or whatever. Yes and then the electrical panel is just behind this there so you just have to lift it and then you can access your breakers. Yes let's go up upstairs. Welcome in the main bedroom. Our customer really wanted like a more intimate bedroom. So it was all about her bedroom first to make this design. Like she really wanted to be able to stand up in her bedroom and to make her bed like standing up not in a loft. So that's why we proposed her gooseneck trailer so we could make this bedroom up there and I'm 6 feet 2. I can stand here so that's a very nice thing about this bedroom. It's a queen-size bed. We build a lot of storage. There is an incredible amount of storage in this bedroom. There is some custom cabinet, custom shelving. Here there is one of the two Luna heat recovery air exchangers. So yes I love this. We love those shelving very much. And then on the other side there is plenty of storage. Two big drawers and like a customer really wanted to have some a lot of storage for her clothes. So that's what she has. And then yes there is another another secret about this bed. For more storage we can lift the bed like this and there is some more storage in there. So you can store a lot of anything you want in there. So yes that's what you can do with this bedroom. And of course there is this big window. So yes she can just chill out in bed and have a great time with the sun. Now the living area. This is an ITA couch. It's a storage couch. There is storage underneath every part of the couch. You can even move every part as you wish. We did a lot of storage in this living area. Just beside this couch there is some custom cabinet underneath. Behind this you just have to remove the cushion and you can access this storage. It's the same thing on both sides. And if you have even more things to store you have this secret storage compartment right there. Our customer really wanted us to put the focus on the living area and more on the couch area and then maybe a dining table area where you can eat. She said like she's always eating on the couch so that's why we put this big couch. And she wanted a table where she can eat or she can have some guests too. So we had this idea. It wasn't our first idea but it's our best one. We have this coffee table right there and if you want to have a dinner you can just put your plate on this coffee table. But you can just transform this coffee table in something like a dining table. So you can eat just like this and have a guest there. Or you can place it on the other side and have two people on both sides of the table like I'm gonna show you right now. Now the kitchen area. Let's start with the sink. This is an Ikea sink. We love those things. It's the second time we use it. We love the style of it. And we have a bamboo countertop and some custom cabinets. Everything is custom in this house. So up there there is some flowers. It's a gift. It's the best place to put some flowers up there. There is a big storage cabinet there. And then some more storage. Here we have the control panel of the radiant floor system. So now you can see that it's 22 here and the floor is very hot underneath my socks. So I'm very comfy right now. What else? There is our first washer-dryer combo. The first time we installed it. I think it's not the last time. What else we have? Here we have a little remote for this AC. It's like a portable AC unit but it's just the best one we found with the smallest hole we had to make in the wall. So yes and that's where our customer could just put a lot of clothes in there too. What else? On the other side you have a big fridge and freezer unit. You have this dryer underneath. You have three big dryers there and then a nice little countertop to do some prep. If I was a customer I would just put a small island on wheels that you could just bring there and then give you a little more countertop space. But yes that's what but for some people it just might be enough just to have this small space to do some preparation. You can see this stainless steel oven. It's an electric one. Everything is electric in this house. The customer had the access for the electricity. So everything is electric and you can see that there is the ladder stairs that you can just take there and just put it there if you want to go up. We love those kind of ladder because it's just a little more comfy than a ladder but a little less than a stairs but very comfy. We can just leave it there if you want. You still have the access with the fridge and the only thing we don't have access is for the washer dryer but we don't do laundry every day. Now the bathroom. Now the bathroom. Welcome in this beautiful bathroom. The first thing you see is this this bath. We really wanted to bring something design in this in this bathroom so we chose to put this beautiful diamond plate aluminum sheet. It's like only one sheet that we make a band. There is no joint so we painted the same white of the wall and it's I love it so much. I never saw any tiny house or any homes with this kind of materials and in the bath so we're really happy to bring something new. Maybe could give some ideas to other people. So yes there is a full bath. There you can see the nature head toilet. We put this in every house we build and we did a very small a very beautiful like toilet storage area on the behind this toilet. It's a red cedar shelf. You can see that there is the the control panel panel for the two lunas. So there is very clear. Now there is the place that's the machine for the radiant floor system. Hydraulic radiant floor. There is the small extinguisher and the hard water softener system because this house is built as a it's a custom build for a client in Saskatchewan so they don't have this. There is a kind of an hard water problem there so that's why we have really need to have this filtration system. Here you can see the access for the water tank electric 40 gal water tank. We put this because there is we have to be able to fill the bath easily so that's why we need this big water heater and that's the filtration system. You have access to the two main water lines. There is the first small particle filter. You can see that there is a water pressure regulator and then it's going to the second filter. It's a small particle filter. Don't forget to change the filter every year and now and the third filter is the big big water softener there and this is on my opinion the nicest custom cabinet we did for the sink, the bathroom sink. We're very happy. It's still a bamboo countertop. We painted this an IKEA mirror. We love it so much. Beautiful. You can see that we built a custom, small custom shelf again with a red cedar just if you need it when you take a bath. You can chill, have a glass of wine and yes I love this bathroom. It wasn't easy at all just to design it because we had a lot of things we had to put inside there so we're very happy. I'm going to leave that open. Now the second loft. Let's go up there. Welcome in the reading loft. Our customer really wanted to have a spot where she can read. She loves to read. She has a lot of books so she wanted to have a place where she can read. So that's the reading loft. We extended this loft up the fridge and the oven just to put another space there. You could even put another bed. Someone could sleep there. I would. You have this very nice place just beside this big 16 feet window just to chill, to have a beer and to relax if you have a nice view. We have a nice view here. For me, I think it's my very favorite spot. The view you have on the on the tiny house is very nice. I would love that to be my home. This is the second loft. Those are going to be like standard in our unit now. We're going to install this on every tiny house because it works very well. It doesn't take a lot of energy and it's pretty quiet and how it works is they work both at the same time but when one push the air inside the other one pull the air inside and they mix it so every 10 minutes it changes so it makes a very good ventilation in this house. This house is made for Canadian weather so that's why we have a very big heating system but this house could be even like at minus 40 or at plus 40 C. I mean this house could be in every weather. You can see again custom shelving. It's the first time we do those kind of shelving but probably not the last. We love this tile so much and then you have some more storage here for some more books or anything you want and at last and at least there is this wonderful access to the rooftop patio we did build. We're supposed to have this skylight but I had the idea just just before signing the contract. I mean I just had the idea if we could open it and we could install a rooftop patio on it so the customer really wanted and really liked the idea so that's why we have this. You can open this skylight at 90 degrees and we built a red cedar. It's 75 square feet but it's way enough just to go chill on the roof and have some you can even have some friends on it. So thanks to everyone who listened to this video. Sorry about my English. I know it's not the best English ever but I don't care. I want to show you guys that we care about English people. We just we didn't want to just do some subtitles underneath our French video so we wanted to make you a quick video tour so that's it. I hope you enjoyed and see you on the next build. Goodbye!
