Hey everyone, in this video we're touring an ultra-tiny tiny house.

The thistle has a lot of charm with a gable roof and cedar shake siding and a cozy farmhouse style interior design.

It has a classic floor plan that manages to fit all the essentials onto a super compact 16-foot trailer.

This is a beautiful build by Summit Tiny Homes in Vernon BC and we're excited to give you a full tour.

Over here there's a nice long sofa bench and it looks really comfy.

There's storage down below which is great, you always need to maximize your storage in a small space like this.

And directly facing it is a wall mount electric fireplace

that they framed out in wood to match the trim of the windows and the doors.

And it's just a really cozy space to curl up.

The thistle has two different floor plans.

One of them has a ladder and this is the one with the staircase.

And I love how many different appliances they've managed to tuck away under here.

So down here you've got the water tank

and over here inside into the staircase is a small bar fridge and a microwave.

On top of that there's still plenty of storage in here.

So there's a drawer here and then three of the stairs actually have storage inside of them.

So one, two, and three down here.

So I love that they've managed to fit storage in here.

These are great little compartments for storing extra shoes, you know, seasonal gear and things like that.

Another benefit of the staircase is obviously that it's easier to get up and down from the loft too.

Here we're in the galley kitchen and we're just below the loft here but there's still plenty of headroom.

You've got beautiful exposed beams and this is about 6'4 or maybe even a little bit higher.

On this side you've got your sink with tons of storage below.

There's no overhead cabinets, you actually just have a nice window and a couple of shelves for some extra knickknacks.

It's nice to have the counter space on either side for washing dishes and preparing food.

And then over here is a massive counter space and this is a game changer.

So this is maybe where you would put your cooktop to prepare food

and it's such a deep space

that you can actually probably store a lot of food back here

or maybe even do some kind of wall storage back there.

And below this counter is another game changer, a combo washer dryer.

It's amazing that they were able to fit this in

and there's even a little storage cabinet beside where you could maybe put a drying rack, your laundry soap and things like that.

So we're already at the other end of the tiny house.

Like I said, it's not very long.

So this is the bathroom.

There's a sliding barn door and there's a massive shower that feels really spacious.

It's definitely bigger than the ones we usually see.

And there's some built-in shelves for lots of toiletries.

And I love this vanity with this large bowl sink.

It's beautiful.

There's storage below and some extra shelving here.

There's a regular flush toilet.

So this is actually a surprisingly nice airy space.

There's a window for ventilation as well as an extraction fan above the shower.

Up here we're in the loft and you can see because of the dormers that the ceiling height is actually quite high.

So instead of crawling around you can actually sort of like crouch and get around the bed which is nice.

Definitely lots of space to sit up in bed and lots of space on either side just to get around.

The gable roof with the dormer actually provides a really dynamic looking roof line in here

so it's really interesting to look at

and they've accentuated all the different angles up here by using two different stains on the wood.

There's also a really sturdy railing up here so you can't fall off which is always great to see.

After watching tiny houses grow bigger and bigger over the years, it's really neat to visit one like this that's much closer

to the original size of the tiny houses from a decade ago.

It's cozy, minimalist, and it's surprisingly functional, not to mention much more portable.

We loved getting to check out this tiny house, and we actually visited another one of their custom builds before, so it was great to finally meet the team and visit the workshop where all the magic happens.

You can follow and find out more about Summit Tiny Homes on Instagram

and on their website and we'll put those links down below.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
