You’ve never seen anything like it (video)"},"content":{"rendered":"

As people become increasingly concerned with protecting the environment and lowering their carbon footprint, tiny homes are growing in popularity. <\/p>\n

Although though it’s not quite a tiny house, the featured cottage shows how tiny house design ideas may be applied to slightly larger homes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u2018The Nook on the Hill\u2019 was constructed by Holly and Benj near Halls Gap, Victoria, Australia, which is roughly 250 kilometers from Melbourne. <\/p>\n

Benj was raised nearby and later acquired the home from his mother. <\/p>\n

Holly and Benj provided a tour of their gorgeous home on the YouTube channel \u2019Living Big in a Tiny Home,\u2019 which featured their home.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The house is 6.5 meters tall, 4 meters wide, and has a garden surrounding it that has been expertly manicured with natural flora to draw in local fauna and birds. <\/p>\n

To leave as little of an environmental legacy as possible, they constructed the Nook as compactly as feasible. <\/p>\n

Furthermore, they place a high value on living consciously and intentionally. <\/p>\n

The fact that they constructed this home themselves with assistance from friends and family members adds to its uniqueness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Over the course of five years, Holly and Benj spent about 5,000 hours building the house.
\nIt is referred to as their \u2018work or love.\u2019<\/p>\n

Holly and Benj like utilizing the cast-iron bath in the surrounding grounds at night.They have a breathtaking view of Grampians National Park from both the interior and outdoors of The Nook.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This house is distinctive due to a number of distinctive features. First off, the majority of the materials were salvaged and repurposed for new purposes. <\/p>\n

All of the bricks used in the house were built by hand 130 years ago and came from a nearby former bakery. <\/p>\n

\u2018Every piece of wood you can see within the house has been obtained from somewhere. It has lived before,\u2019 Holly said.This involves using lumber from an old bridge, a warehouse, and a primary school basketball court.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Despite the modest size of the home, a full-sized kitchen is present.Since Holly and Benj like cooking, <\/p>\n

a well-equipped kitchen was essential for them. Another distinctive aspect of the house is the bathroom.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To add some color to the house, they selected vibrant tiles. Benj tiled it himself after watching a YouTube tutorial on how to do it. <\/p>\n

The smaller room in the house was anticipated, so Holly and her friends wanted to experiment with it and add a lot of color. <\/p>\n

After looking for approximately a year, they finally found the ideal tile pattern.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The bathroom’s basin was made by Benk.During the construction, the pair started making ceramics for fun and as a creative outlet. <\/p>\n

\u2018We spent some time hunting for a basin, but we were unsuccessful. I then asked my pottery instructor if <\/p>\n

I might perhaps construct a basin. I cooked two of them because she had a mild heart attack, he laughed. <\/p>\n

They constructed a wooden spiral staircase with tiny book-storage shelves to access the second story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

They decided to install a full queen size bed upstairs since it provided them with extra storage space underneath the bed.Holly enjoys reading on the comfortable bench by the windows. <\/p>\n

Huge windows that showcase the breathtaking views of the national park are another one of the house’s standout characteristics. <\/p>\n

The house is nearly off-the-grid and powered by solar energy.They have a sizable water supply that is sufficient for both their daily needs and the upkeep of their garden.<\/p>\n

The washing machine is also situated against a service wall on the exterior of the home.This is a fantastic concept because it frees up space and preserves the home’s quiet while it runs.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Nook on the Hill is a genuinely unique location. <\/p>\n

\u2018It’s challenging to express what it means at this point. It has supported us during some trying times in our life. <\/p>\n

My dad died a year or so before we first came out [here]. Benj’s father received a cancer diagnosis while the construction was underway, <\/p>\n

and he tragically passed away after we succeeded in finishing. For us, it has been a wonderfully therapeutic place, Holly added. <\/p>\n

Construction of this almost-tiny house was $140,000, including all furniture. <\/p>\n

This house is precious because of the mountain view, the gorgeous garden, and the cozy yet practical design. <\/p>\n
