The guy built the house of his dreams in record time. The guy himself built a small house

Many people dream of their own home. To fulfill your dream, you can save money for many years or commit yourself to a mortgage. Or you can do the same as Steve Aren, who built his dream house from inexpensive materials. Steve spent $9,000 on the project, which is not much for a separate home. With this modest amount, Steve managed to build a modern house that has everything you need. All work was completed in a record 6 weeks! It all started with the purchase of a small piece of land in Thailand.

Steve bought a plot of land from his friend. This land was part of a farm that grew mango trees.

For the construction of domes, which form the basis of an unusual structure, concrete blocks were used. The brickwork was covered with a layer of plaster.

Building the foundation of the house cost Steve just $6,000. Of course, this price is connected, among other things, with the fact that materials are cheaper in Thailand than in other regions.

To give the house a finished look, Steve painted the walls with terracotta paint. The house of such design organically fits into the surrounding landscapes and does not disturb the mood of the farm.

The interior design cost $3,000. And it's worth every penny spent! What is worth only this fireplace!

The bedroom looks like it stepped out of the pages of a fairy tale book. On such a bed, only good dreams are dreamed.

This is what the house looks like from the outside. The view is just amazing! Two friends with little experience in construction helped Steve build the house. From the laying of the foundation to the completion of the finishing, only 6 weeks passed!

At the top of one of the domes, Steve built a terrace under a canopy made of natural materials. You need to climb it along the steps that are built into the walls of the house.

On such a terrace it is convenient to sit in sunny weather. Enough space for the whole company.

The view from inside is also incredible. If it's windy outside, you can relax while contemplating the beautiful views from the round windows of the house.

Steve's shower room looks like a real spa. The room resembles a tropical waterfall.

Each individual interior detail is designed in accordance with the general idea. The bamboo stem washbasin maintains a tropical forest vibe.

This story happened to Chris Hening, who loves to make things with his own hands. He built himself a house of 18 square meters. It turned out just great. Interestingly, he has clients who want him to build such a house for them.

The peculiarity of the dwelling is its interior design combined with miniaturization and incredible comfort. Chris borrowed the idea from Asian countries, where minimalism in housing construction is popular. These include Japan, China, Singapore. The house looked like it was a toy. Sometimes it even seems that this is a house from a building store for a kindergarten or a theater.

Home interiors

If you look at the photo below, it is noticeable that there is no entrance hall in the house. Useful space begins right next to the door - a bedside table, a houseplant, a sofa with pillows, a rear window and a closet. And on the other side, shelves with a Japanese figurine are visible. The sofa is also a closet for storing bed linen and shoes. Even the stairs are equipped with drawers. Thus, all useful assistance is 100% involved.

Opposite the sofa there is a table and the kitchen part of the dwelling begins.

A staircase on the side leads to a kind of second floor, where there is another bed. It consists of a wooden platform, a mattress. The bed has plenty of room for a few pillows, and next to it there are five more drawers and a couple of niches for everything useful. Lights and sockets are also installed there. There is a small window to the left of the bed. It can be opened to ventilate the room.

Pleasant trifles

In one of the corners of the house is another door that leads to the bathroom and toilet. Next to it there is a sink and an additional cabinet, it is hidden behind the door on the right.

So, if you open the door, what will we see in the toilet? A small toilet with a hidden tank, and next to it are shelves for towels and a bath.

The bathtub is quite small. Above it there is a window with a view of nature. The main thing is that no one looked there.

The staircase is an interesting idea. Each step has a nice shelf for things. It can fit clothes, a laptop, sports equipment.

In addition, an electric fireplace was placed in the stairs.

There is a stool next to the fireplace. The table is small, all cutlery is inside. A TV hangs above it, and further in the corner is the kitchen part of the dwelling. It fit a washing machine, sink, drawers with dishes.

Living in such a house may be cramped, but very comfortable!

When there is not enough money, but there is a dream, everything is possible. This was proven by a guy who really wanted to have his own house. He quit his job at an American airline, moved to Thailand and built an unusual home with his own hands in just a month and a half. Now he lives in a heavenly place - right in the middle of a mango grove.

Steve Aren is a simple American guy who had a dream and only nine thousand dollars to make it come true. Well, and a good friend who gave him a small plot on the edge of a mango field in Thailand and helped with the house project.

Steve decided to build an unusual cottage that would organically fit into the landscape and harmonize with the territory of the mango farm. He settled on a domed design and a bright terracotta color. From afar, this house, whose area is 46 square meters, resembles a huge juicy fruit.

It took Steve only 6 thousand dollars and 6 weeks to build housing. It seems that it is impossible to build a 3-room cottage for such little money and in such a short time. However, building materials are quite inexpensive in Thailand, and Steve did most of the work himself, only occasionally resorting to the help of professional builders.

Steve spent another three thousand dollars on the interior decoration of the house, household items and interior. The result is a very cozy and comfortable place in which all the details correspond to the general mood of the house. By the way, there are no corners in Steve's home - everything here is round and soft.

And next to the house, a desperate builder organized a small pond with lilies, which makes this place even more cute and attractive. Steve Aren is one of those amazing people who tirelessly prove that dreams do come true. You just need to know exactly what you want, and firmly go to the intended goal. For example, as an artist who has been creating for more than 30 years, eventually making her neighbors grind their teeth with envy.

A Canadian man cuts down and plans young resinous cedars, lays a frame out of them, lays a roof from burnt boards, caulks the cracks with moss, induces simple comfort inside and starts a dog to make life more fun. All this is recreated in an incredibly relaxing and peaceful video from a carpenter, blogger and recluse named Sean James. A real outlet for those who sit at work and dream of breaking out of a concrete box with plastic windows.

There is the serenity of the Canadian cedar wilderness, soothing music and a man engaged in a truly masculine business, from which he enjoys.

Sean James is a carpenter, a lover of life in the wilderness and part-time journalist and blogger. He maintains a blog, My Self Reliance, dedicated to his hobbies of working with wood and building forest shacks. He finds special pleasure in building without any electric tools and other people's help - only with his own hands and grandfather's tools. At the same time, his huts, despite their outward simplicity, are made quite thoroughly and competently. After carefully watching the video, you can be sure that the creation of a cedar hut is a matter that requires skill and a lot of knowledge.

So, for example, Sean lays a roof made of wood, processed by him according to the old Japanese technology - show sugi ban. Boards (which he also made himself) are fired at the stake and with a blowtorch. This gives them protection from the weather, UV radiation, rain and fires. In general, the construction of the log house itself turns out to be unexpectedly not such a laborious process, but the installation of the roof and floors takes a disproportionate amount of time and turns into a serious test of skill and experience, especially for a person who works alone.

At the end, Sean makes a small underground for supplies, caulking the gaps with tow from the moss and clay collected here. You can imagine what a newly built hut smells like: it is made entirely of cedar and should smell like resin for a good mile around.

For those who have the time and energy for a real marathon of Canadian appeasement, there is a full hour video of the construction of the hut. Everything is shown here in such detail that, if you believe the assurances of Sean James himself, any person with straight arms, who carefully followed the actions of the carpenter, will be able to build exactly the same hut.

Although, most likely, the shack you built will be much worse than Sean's. He himself initially trained in the construction of log cabins in the backyard of his house. So for him, the hut on the video has already become the third in a row (and this is only one of those that he completed to the end). Now he uses it as a kind of dacha - he lives there for his own pleasure when he manages to escape from the bustle of the city, and comes here with his wife and dog for the weekend. His site is adjacent to Canada's Algonquin National Park near Ontario. We can safely say that this is one of the most beautiful and harsh places in North America.
