Inside Levi Kelly's World's Smallest House (2025)

Welcome back to the channel. I built the world's smallest tiny house at 19.46 square feet. This is the tour video of it. I'm gonna be showing you everything. It has a toilet, it has a bed, it has a shower, it has a kitchen. This video is incredible. Let's go check it out. Welcome back to my channel, everybody. If you've been following along, you know I've been hinting at my tiny house build right here behind me. This is the world's smallest tiny house, 19.46 square foot of living space. So it's the smallest by square footage and it has everything. So there is a world record for the world's smallest tiny house, but it's laughable because it's not really a house that's won the record. This is a real house. And what I consider a house has everything, like a bed, a toilet, a kitchen, a fully functioning space that you could live in if you needed to. Now, I know a lot of people aren't gonna think they can live in a 19 square foot space, but it does have everything if needed. And I wanna be showing you it all today. I did make a build video. Real quick, I'll mention that. That's on, that video's already up as well. Update. It's a really cool video if you wanna see my entire build and I take my son Weston camping in it. So that video's up. Watch that one whenever you're done with this one. So let's get along with the tour. We'll start with the exterior. This is on a trailer that is a truck axle. So it can actually hold a lot more weight than a single axle small trailer. And there's a lot of weight here because this is a stick-framed tiny house. Two by threes to save on space and weight is what I use for the framing. The exterior cladding is cedar that I bought, $1 per board, which is a really good deal. And then I stained it this exterior black. It's semi-solid, so it kinda still shows through the wood texture and veining. But it's black and that's also how it's preserved. So that's pretty cool. On the roof, we have regular roof shingles and two solar panels, one on both sides. I did have hydraulic systems for them, but I got the wrong ones and I didn't feel like buying more for it. But there are two solar panels here, 400 watts of solar that goes to the battery inside. Here is the front door, totally custom. The same cedar siding. I have an RV-style handle right here. It does lock if needed. The window, one of four. Down here on the frame, I added these two jacks on the back to stabilize it better because the axle is right in the middle. So if you were standing here, it would kinda be like a teeter-totter. So I added those there for stability and I added all brand new lights and electrical wiring to the trailer itself. Over here, we have the exterior shower. So if I open this up, this is where the fun begins. I can open this and put the shower nozzle right where it goes right there and you can turn the hot water or cold water on and the water comes out. So that's how I save a lot of space on the shower. So there is one if needed. If we come around on this side, we can see there are a couple exterior features here. This is the vent for the AC and heating units and yes, AC and heating. And here's where all the electrical kinda comes in right here. This we'll get to later. Let's walk back to the front and walk inside. And this is the interior. It is very small. It might win the world record for the world's most narrow house. That is a world record to get. I did paneling on the walls to make it more luxurious, more comfortable. I painted it natural linen. I love that. And I did a lot of wood feature in here. So the exterior is all cedar. I did a lot of cedar accents like this is the bottom of the bed. All cedar, the ceiling is all cedar, the trim around here, the windows is all cedar. But the window sills is padauk, really exotic wood. And my countertop right here is Peruvian walnut. So lots of different woods were used in this and I'm very proud of it. The first thing we walk into is the bench seating area. So right here we have a bench that can have three people. Here's a clip of me, Weston, and my wife sitting here on the bench. And guys, I wouldn't lie to you, this isn't uncomfortable. This is actually pretty decent for a tiny house bench. You can sit here, you can sit here, especially in the kitchen space. Watch a movie, whatever you wanna do. But there's a couple cool features about this bench. One, there's lots of hidden doors. So if we take off these pillows, the first hidden door is right over here. We can lift this up and access underneath the sink if we need to. We can also open up these ones down here. These are picture frame style doors. And down here is where the AC and heating unit is. It is an EcoFlow Wave 2. So it does do AC and heating. Here, I'll rip off the vent right here. This is the vent that has the AC and heating. You can have it anywhere. Normally, I have it mounted right here in the middle, and there is a vent in this middle system. So this can all be hidden, and the cold or hot air is coming out right here in the middle. That thing is really cool, and it's hooked up to the EcoFlow Delta Pro, I think. And there are six outlets on this thing. All the outlets are being used, and this is hooked up to the solar panels up top. Or if you're just camping in your backyard like I am, you can just plug it into your house. And this is used as a bypass system, so everything is still working, even if you aren't wanting to use the solar. But it can be off-grid if needed, and it can be heated in the winter if needed as well. So that takes up all of the space down here. And there's also a door on this side of the bench, and this is access to the water lines for the shower in case there's ever a problem. So several hidden doors. I made it to where it is repairable. I wanna access everywhere if I have to. Next, we have the kitchen space. We can open up this door, and underneath the kitchen is, of course, where everything is at. So the water system, I have a five-gallon water tank. Fresh water, five-gallon gray water. I know that's not a lot, but this is the world's smallest tiny house. So you can fill up the water by this nozzle here, and you can get a garden hose in here. Or I have a funnel if you wanna buy fresh water and just funnel it in there. You can have access to that. And the water goes through a water pump that's hooked up to my battery and a filter system. And then there is room in here for a small water heater. So if you want hot water in here, you can do that as well. That is all underneath here. And of course, we have the sink here. The sink is a really cool feature. We can open up this lid. I mean, this is a cutting board it came with. It is a flush sink, so you have more space here to do anything you need. We take off the cutting board lid. The sink folds up like this, and you can just turn the water on. Works just like that. And when you're done, you can take this down. I mean, this is a pretty good size sink. It's like 13 inches by 15 inches, I think. And if you need to cook anything, I do have an electric cooktop you can pull from the bottom. Plug this into the outlet right over here, and you can cook whatever you want right here. I mean, this is a beautiful view for cooking. I can sit and cook, and I have 360 or 270 degree window view right here. I think this is a great setup. And then if you need a cold drink, just pop open the mini fridge, and you can get a cold drink. Right now it's 42 degrees, so it's about fridge temperature. That is nice how mini this is. Just enough for a couple drinks, maybe one food item. And of course, I have a little light up here. So that is everything with the kitchen and the bench seating and really the brains of this tiny house. If you're wondering where you sleep, that is up here. I have it hooked right here. All you have to do is unhook it, and it folds down and it rests on these maple pieces of wood over here. And that's how it's braced. It can hold my weight. I'm 180 pounds, so it's really good. I also have a couple hooks on both sides, one right there and one over here. You probably can't see it because my head's blocking it. For extra support in case something were to break, I don't foresee that happening. It's just there. This is where my one miscalculation went with this tiny house. The space it takes for you to climb up into the bed, I am 100% able to do it. I'll prove it. So you just step on the countertop and you climb right in the bed. And there we go. The bed space is 5'10", which that is exactly my height. So I am able to lay here perfectly. And guys, I'm not even kidding. This is more comfortable than a lot of camping trips I've been on. It is a real bed. So you can sleep up here. And then when you're done, it does take a little bit of flexibility. So that is the one thing I would say is a little difficult with this place. And with that, that is everything inside the tiny house. You might be wondering, where's the bathroom? I'll show you. That's where this thing comes in. This was originally where the AC unit was gonna go and I was gonna vent it inside, but I changed it up a little bit. You'll see that in the build video. Here, I can just take this lid off. It does lock, which is nice. I have a little hook here on the side of the tiny house for the lid. And this is where the toilet begins. Guys, I know what you're already thinking. This is a joke. It is not. It is a real functioning toilet. You can open it up, sit here, and then when you're done, it flushes. Pump this and there's water in here. I can flush the whole thing. When you're done, instead of it being inside, which I know people find gross, you can just put it right back and that's it. It's as simple as that. So you can take the toilet inside the tiny house if you wanted to use it in privacy. Or, I mean, if you're just camping in nature, just take it somewhere in nature and it's truly, it works. If you're wondering what the cost of this was, take a guess in your head what you think. Everything. This was about $5,000 for all the material, the AC unit, the wood, I mean, everything. I already had the trailer, so that doesn't count. $5,000. You can't beat that. You can't beat that price for what you get here. So that is everything with my tiny house, the world's smallest by square footage that I consider a true home. It has everything, a separate bed, a separate kitchen, a separate seating area, a shower, a toilet, hot water, running water, and power, and AC, and heating. I mean, it has it all, and it actually all works. So that is everything with this place. I built it for me and my son to go camping and to set a world record. I challenge anybody to beat this. I highly suggest you check out the build video. That one's really fun. I go into much more detail about all of this. I've been working on this for about a month. Thank you guys for watching this video. Let me know what you think down in the comments below. I'll see you in the next one.
