Dream Tiny House Built For A Young Family

Hey, I'm David Latimer of New Frontier Tiny Homes, and I am in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. Just delivered my newest model. We're naming it after the child of the proud owners of this home, the Escher, also referenced to M.C. Escher, one of my favorite artists, master of perspective. This house is our latest masterpiece, and I'm going to give you a tour. Three different exterior elements. Get the shisugi ban, the cedar lap, and then the metal here. One thing I did, I don't really love the metal goose neck trailer part, so I put two little faux walls and then a little faux thing to cover up the tongue. It also just carries that siding, carries the lines, gives it a whole different layer of perspective, which again, this house is all perspective. Got this really cool awning overlooking the garage door. These customers, Spencer and Bella, initially reached out to me wanting an Alpha, and after learning more about them, asking them about their life and what they planned on doing with this home, it's their full-time residence, they have a baby, obviously, realized that there were some changes that needed to happen. As you'll see, we've got this ebony stained walnut floor, we've got this open great room, a lot like the Alpha. From here forward, this is a wall we did with 1767 Designs, a little collaboration, a talented friend of mine, Patrick Hayes, out of Nashville. This works really cool, and this works really well in this home. So we've got the full nesting set here. It's a lot like the Alpha nesting set with some key differences. That bench right there is actually two separate benches, and inside each of those benches are little stools. Four stools, two benches, and each of those stools has storage inside. The other difference is the table, the dining table, is split into two, so you can have a small dining party, or you can have a larger dining party, six to even eight people comfortably can sit here. This kitchen in here, we've got porcelain countertops, your dishwasher drawer, got a nice little kick plate right here, and then we've got these cool little knobs that we used before, but only in black. This kitchen is just beautiful, very proud of this thing. All the copper, the copper backsplash, just love the black and white, the simplicity. It's all tied in, you'll see copper accents throughout the house, they just kind of tie everything together. Yeah, it just feels really spacious, this is beautiful, how this came out with these 36 inch wolf cooktop, literally the nicest you can buy, it's beautiful. See in here, so before, in the Alpha, this is where it ended, you had the wall here, got these shoji paper doors, and then above the gooseneck, the gooseneck is a natural place for a bed because it gives you the height that you can stand up in your room and you're not crouched, so if you don't want to live in a loft, a gooseneck is a great option. This customer wanted a king size bed, and the king size bed they got, see that giant picture window, you've got in the ceiling here, those slats give a feeling of greater height and then that drop down LED lighting behind the valance around the edge also gives a feeling of it being much higher. So some people say, well you have that whole room filled with bed, there's no room for storage. The hole underneath the bed is storage. Literally the entire room is all storage, and the bed just pops right up. This little drawer here, and this can obviously open when the bed's down. Yeah, I love this bedroom, it's my favorite one that I've designed. Super fun, the different platforms, you've got all these different levels, it's like an adult tree house. LED lighting is super important to me, or valance lighting, misdirected lighting really gives an extra expansiveness to a room. There's something about, yeah, about misdirected lighting, about valance lighting that creates a bigger space. So in here, we've got this beautiful ladder, before we go up there, I'll show this. So Bella works from home, and so we're going to give this space an office, get these cool little drop downs, so she can work from home. These are also perfectly her height, so she can stand up and work, which she likes to do. And then, indoor-outdoor space is huge for them, obviously it's huge for me too, so way to incorporate the indoors and outdoors. You've got a bar out there, and they're going to build a little patio here, and be able to have this space inside and outside. Works in California, we can take these screens out. And then, put these down, I did this, divided it in half, so you could also have this ladder up and in place, so she could still be working, and you can go around. See all the little copper elements that tie in the different parts of the room? So it all fits pretty perfectly. That ladder is absolutely beautiful, it's a hundred year ladder, that's what I'm calling it. Solid oak, no, it's all wooden joinery, so there's no hardware whatsoever. So there's all these wooden dowels, that we hand carved out of walnut. This is walnut piece, and the copper pipe, this thing is so solid, will last forever. Up in here is Escher's room, really, really cute, I wasn't sure how this was going to turn out, but it is adorable up here. Very spacious feeling, too. You've got these three windows, which give it a lot of, make it feel very expansive, and then they can close her, in here, the nicest baby gate there is. And she can safely be up there. Ladder goes away, nicely right here. You can actually get through here, with the ladder still up, but. So here's the bathroom, I guess we'll start with the closet. Got a full walk-in closet, nice, spacious, custom shelves, plenty of space, you can fit comfortably in here. I love the way this bathroom turned out, super beautiful. This is this old piece of maple, that we stain, got these walnut keys in, the herringbone floors, this solid walnut, and then this is beautiful, the shower, the tile. I love the pattern that we chose, too, for the tile, I love that little inset. Cool mosaic. That shower is huge, it's actually really spacious. Hopefully you can fit two people in here, cool. And there you have it, that is the Escher, thank you so much.
