what's up everyone I'm Stephen here with
tiny house listings I'm Gabe Gentile and
we are super excited today to share with
you a new layout this is we our fourth
layout for here with tiny house listings
and probably the last one that we come
up with for a while we're trying to keep
it simple this one is unlike any other
tiny house we've ever seen this a tiny
house duplex and uh when we first
mentioned the idea to some people that
we work with they didn't quite
understand it but then they got it
they're like oh that's really smart so
today we're just going to quickly run
down and show you the idea of this
duplex and some of the use cases yeah so
if you kind of if we walk over to like
the middle of the trailer which is
somewhere around here it's literally
going to be 20 ft that way and 20 ft
that way and there'll be a wall dividing
them a very uh thick soundproof wall so
you won't really hear what's going on
over here you won't hear what's going on
over here and so basically it's going to
be the same layout but we're just going
to flip-flop it so if you go down to
this end that back corner is actually
going to be the bedroom that's going to
be the bedroom side and then behind
that's going to be the bathroom and then
the kitchen will flow right into the uh
dividing wall will be behind me is
actually going to be like the living
room so then basically if you were to
take this trailer and sandwich it and
flop it that side would have the bedroom
the bathroom and then the kitchen so the
kitchen will be the points where they
meet so the places you are the most are
going to be the places furthest away
from the wall so I think it's going to
be a really cool layout it'll have two
doors it'll have two kitchens it's going
to have two bathrooms you'll have plenty
of space it'll basically be two Lads put
together yeah basically so in between
one of the concerns that I could already
tell would be where like noise from one
apartment to the other so there'll be an
8 in wall and that'll be crammed full of
soundproofing um sand deadening
insulation which is called rck wall and
so you will won't be able to hear from
one place to the other uh from one
apartment to the other one tiny house to
the other so uh adding to what stepen
said about the 8 in thick wall actually
what happens is when you do a
soundproofing wall one side is going to
be here and then the other side is going
to be staggered so they're going to be
staggered so this this wall panel will
never touch this wall panel stud so
it'll be a thick wall with insulation in
between but the but the the finish on
this Edge will never touch the stud that
the finish on this Edge is in so that'll
also help with soundproofing and things
like that because there'll be no direct
transfer some some use cases for this
that going be really cool let's say for
student housing you basically get two
for one if you're an investor and you
want to have two airbnbs in your spot
for just for the price of one uh you
could do that and not only that um if
you're someone who wants to live in a
tiny house but also own an Airbnb to
help offset some of the cost of owning a
tiny house you could do that so you
could live in one side rint out the
other to Airbnb so it's really really
cool and a lot of times one of the
biggest expenses of buying a tiny house
is transporting it so let's just say if
it cost $5,000 to transport a tiny house
from one side of the country to the
other you can do that all at once so
also one thing we want to mention about
this tiny house is it's going to be one
tiny house but yet it's going to look
like two so maybe maybe on one side we
might have a white kitchen and on this
side we might have an espresso cabinet
color kitchen uh I can tell you that the
the house itself is going to have two
siding colors um so it'll really
distinct which side is which you'll
you'll have one siding color on one side
that kind of wraps all the way around
and then you'll have another siding
color on this side that'll wrap all the
way around so it'll look like one tiny
house but yet it'll still look like this
yeah and you know we're super excited
about this cuz it's basically more cost
effective if you are a multigenerational
family let's say if you're older uh
child and you want your mother to live
with you there's all kinds of scenarios
so we're really really excited to bring
this tiny house to the market we haven't
given it a name yet we're thinking the
tiny Plex that might change but if you
have any ideas any ideas leave those in
the comments below so anyways thanks for
watching see you in the next video
