Ep 13. Tall Man Tiny House

The show Tiny House, Big Living is all about the simple and sustainable living style that many people have adopted in recent years. Season 7 episode 13 titled "Tall Man Tiny House" follows the story of a man who is 6'10'' and wants to build a tiny house that can accommodate his height comfortably.

The episode starts with the man, named Brandon, explaining that he has never felt comfortable in a conventional home due to his towering height. He has always had to hunch over in doorways and avoid low hanging light fixtures, which has led him to consider building a tiny house that is customized to his height.

Brandon consults with tiny house experts on how to design a space that will work for him. They start with the trailer on which the tiny house will sit. They need to make sure it's a proper height for Brandon, so he can walk around comfortably without hitting his head on anything. After selecting the right trailer, they start designing the interior and layout of the house.

Having a living room that accommodates his height is the first challenge. They design a custom couch that is longer and taller than a traditional couch, and it fits into the space perfectly. Next, they tackle the kitchen, which requires higher countertops. They install custom-made cabinets, countertops, and appliances that can be operated without needing to bend down.

The bathroom is also a challenge for a man of his height. They have to get creative with the space to make sure that he can use it comfortably. The team installs a showerhead that is adjustable in height, and a toilet that is raised higher than usual.

Once the interior is sorted, the team works on the exterior of the tiny house. They want to make sure that the house fits in with the surrounding environment and is aesthetically pleasing. They paint the house with natural colors and source sustainable materials to build the house. They install solar panels on the roof to power the house, and a rainwater collection system to use for watering plants.

The finishing touches include some custom-made furniture that is tailored to his height, and some decorative pieces that make the space look cozy and inviting.

Overall, the episode is really interesting because it shows how a tiny house can be designed to accommodate different needs and lifestyles. Brandon's story is inspiring because he doesn't compromise on his needs and finds a way to make a tiny house work for him. The episode also touches on the importance of sustainability and how you can incorporate it into your daily life, even in a tiny house.
