Videos of this home are one of my favourite tiny houses I have ever seen. Thank you for sharing it. I intend to build a 25m2 tiny home next year. So this is very encouraging and inspirational. Thank you.

Cool to see such a project in Germany. On first glance, the website seems to be a good resource for legality and building details too

Very inspiring!
I’d love to be able to do something similar and hopefully will.

Love all the info about the individual systems but some constructive criticism. It’s very disjointed with very little information on layout, design, build, costs and overview of the whole building. Your videos would really benefit with more structure such as introduction, a walk around the building from the outside and then a complete tour of the home on the inside and then an interview of the more detailed work.

The herbs he tasted/mentioned are lemon balm and stinging nettles.

Wenn nur jeder Deutsche sich so ein schönes Haus leisten könnte, mit etwas Platz außenrum für eigenes Gemüse und so. Leider ist das nicht der Fall; wir werden unsere Wohnung nicht mehr bezahlen können😮

Very good content brother, but i think you should made the videos more dinamic, put some music or whatever. On this generation the attention spanw are very short, and it is my fauty as well but ya. I can say it was a little hard to keep paying attention and whatching the video. Thank you.
