Downsizing is becoming a big thing, especially for retirees who are looking for a way of freeing up money

and resources to enjoy a greater quality of life in their retirement.

And this next exceptional tiny house has been perfectly designed to do just that.

hi Sheila how are you hi Bryce lovely to see you again it's lovely to see you again

and this beautiful home of yours this place is absolutely gorgeous

we love it love every minute of living here it's wonderful

and you live here together with your husband Noel I do

but he's a little bit camera shy so he's run away to work

which he tends to do when he gets nervous

so he'll be back later fantastic

and you are shay's mum i am shay's mum very proud mum of shay

and i actually am employed by shay as well

so is no of course building tiny homes that's it yeah

and so this is your tiny home now can you talk to me about your journey into tiny house living

and how you came to be here well you saw lucy with shay her first tiny home she built

that in our backyard

and i said you are crazy no one is going to

want to live in these tiny little spaces my parents did

exactly the same thing yeah anyway then she left lucy

and came and lived with us for a while

and we designed hazel

and i said the one thing i don't like about tiny homes is crawling in the lofts at my age

so we designed walkways around the lofts and she built hazel

and i thought maybe people could live in these tiny little things

because they were now visited them a lot

and after about four months Nolan and I thought the house was

so lonely and quiet and big and we never went downstairs anymore where Hazel

and Shea used to live

and we started thinking well maybe we should think about this tiny house idea

which we did and here we are yeah

and this is such a beautiful design now there's

so much to talk about with the house

but first let's talk about your gardens these are exquisite well

i've been relegated to the garden i say i feed the soul

and noel feeds the body

because i am banned from growing vegetables after i grew very phallic carrots i put worm wee on them

and they grew legs and arms and other parts

and i made a video and put it up on facebook

and he was really embarrassed about the video right you can't put

that kind of carrot on video

so he does all the vegetables he said it was a waste of money

and i do the garden

so he feeds our bodies i feed our soul what a great balance

and this is just so beautifully landscaped and i love the way

that you've combined some of the edibles into the ornamental gardens as well that's just

so nicely done that was his idea

and they sort of took over half my ornamental garden

but i'm willing to accept that

because we do get a lot of vegetables from it

and this is such an ideal tiny house parking space

that you found as well how did you come to be

on this property well shay's partner worked for the company

that len our landlord worked for and he used to come

and visit the tiny homes because he loves tiny homes

and then he said why doesn't shay's mom and dad come

and live on my land i mean he's got 25 acres

here with a beautiful lake down there it used to be a persimmon farm

and we came and looked and i straight away thought yes this could be very nice

and they're lovely lovely landlords they come over and have drinks with us fairly frequently

and you're completely off the grid in this tiny home as well aren't you we are it's been

so easy i can't believe it we've just put another tank in

because it's been so dry yeah

but we've never run out of water we've only got 10

000 liters we've got a really good solar system it's got two batteries a generator 12 panels

but don't ask me voltage don't ask me any blue questions

right it's quite pretty in the background i don't know how it works

but on my phone i can turn it on

if we on holiday and i look

and i see oh it's looking a bit late

and i don't want the generator to run in the middle

of the night i can just turn it on from my phone it's really cool

that is really cool now one of the things

that i love about the way

that you've designed this home is the indoor outdoor flow we are standing right now on your porch

which has also been designed as your living room yes what

we did with this house is any leftovers we used to make it any leftovers from work

so the porch was actually used for a end of year party

and i said well i'll buy it off you at cost of course

so i got it at cost that's why it's got all the ropes

but i actually like them a lot now i like them too yeah

but yeah it's all bits and pieces it's got

so many different timbers here because it's what's left over what people didn't want to be adopted including the lounge suite

i love that as well though and

that is one of the things with timber is

that you can just celebrate all of these different flavours of timber and they still work so beautifully together.

Yeah, I think they work well together.

They certainly do.

And can you tell me about the design of the home?

the exterior of the home i liked what she did with her hazel with the iron sand

and the timber features yeah i love lots of windows i love being able to look out

and see the sky and i like it to blend in with the environment

which i think the timber does really well it does

and what size is the tiny house the main house the

tiny house is 10 .5 meters our bedroom is 5 .5 meters

and the deck is six meters this was left over from after all the floods

and things there were bits

and pieces left over from people who didn't want their houses anymore

so we adopted a shed and a pod

and made them into a house

100

so it's evolved with whatever's happened in life that's right

101

because your workshop was really badly affected by the floods wasn't it twice right up to our hips

102

and water luckily the houses were raised

103

but it was a terrible time we've had to really downsize for the recession

104

so we've given up the workshops two workshops we've given up

105

and we only run one which is good

106

because shay now has time to try new ideas

107

and make spec houses and things like that

108

so it's all worked out well in the end it always does

109

and this porch area has just been

110

so beautifully designed i really like the way

111

that it almost feels like another indoor space it definitely does

112

especially with the screens we can close it all off with the screens

113

and we've got our funny little flap door that

114

if you want a bit of air to come through

115

if it gets too hot you won't believe it in winter it actually gets too hot in here

116

and you've got the lovely fireplace here as well and it's

117

so great the way that you've positioned it yeah that's a new addition

118

because we had a gas fireplace

119

and my children all thought we were going to gas ourselves

120

and got into panic they bought that well she bought it

121

and said you will have a fireplace not a gas heater this winter

122

and it just makes for such a lovely feature here as well

123

and it is a lot safer than gas

124

and you're an artist as well I am I used to

125

be a professional artist in my other life in Africa

126

and then I sort of teaching art when I came here

127

and when you're teaching you give it all out I haven't painted for 20 years

128

but now I've got time to paint which is wonderful

129

so that's my art area that's why I've left a gap between the fireplace

130

and the back bench because that gets very messy when I paint

131

and it's lovely it's a perfect area for art so yeah

132

and I have my grandkids painting on the bench here

133

which is lovely they've all done beautiful artworks as well

134

so lovely well what you've created here from the outside is just so beautiful

135

and I cannot wait to see inside the home can we

136

take a look yeah let's go all right am I going

137

first yes please okay I'll lead the way into the mansion don't get lost this is just gorgeous

138

and immediately I love the way that the kitchen is

139

so wonderfully connected to the outdoor lounge yes um noel's the chef in the family he does all the cooking

140

and um he wants to be part of it

141

when we've got guests and that and it works beautifully

142

because he's cooking here and he's still part of all of what's going out on the deck

143

so it was important to have the kitchen being part of the living area as well

144

so it works very well absolutely

145

and this looks like a very full -featured kitchen it is

146

it is it's got everything you could possibly need we've got

147

a nice big pantry in fact we've got two pantries we've got dishwasher there's nothing in this kitchen

148

that i don't have in another kitchen we've even got nicer

149

features than we had in our big house we've got an

150

oil drawer in here we've got pull out shelves we've got places for our spices

151

and then we bumped out the front bit

152

because he's going to be doing the cooking you know we didn't want any bumping the heads on here whereas

153

if you line it up it can be a little bit in the way

154

and you've got the compact dining table here as well yes it's compact

155

when noel and i are together but when we have friends it opens up

156

and sits six people easily around here oh wow

157

so four people more easily than six but we have had six people before

158

so it opens up into a nice size table well especially

159

when you've got such a big family as well it's lovely

160

to be able to accommodate more people yeah i will say

161

that we normally eat outside on our laps

162

because it's warm even in winter we spend most of our time outside

163

and we have the brazier and everything going

164

so we don't often eat in the kitchen but

165

if it's really miserable then we will eat in the kitchen yeah fair enough too

166

and then over here we've got your lounge can we take a look at

167

that yeah let's have a look at the lounge all right i love this it's

168

so nice how

169

when you walk through from the kitchen it just completely expands into the full height yes

170

because it's a slightly smaller space I wanted to feel more grand by making the lounge much higher

171

and putting in the wallpaper and a couple of the other things

172

and that's why I like the opening into the kitchen as well

173

because when Noel's cooking I can say how's the cooking going darling

174

and yes I'll have a glass of wine thank you

175

so it's still part of the kitchen it's sort of open plan

176

but not fully open plan yeah so it makes it feel bigger which I like it certainly does.

177

And I just love the style of this room as well.

178

You've got this wonderful, very textured wallpaper and these fabulous light fittings.

179

Yes, the light fittings took a long time to put together, but I was very pleased with them when they were finished.

180

I love my light yeah absolutely

181

and this just looks like such a comfortable space as well

182

that is quite a chair you've got there yes we had to have the lazy boy to watch the cricket

183

and the golf and the tiddly winks and the hopscotch

184

and whatever else we watch on tv so it's got to be comfortable

185

so we both lie in the lazy boy

186

and it's very comfortable i must say excellent

187

and i really like the way

188

that you've incorporated the office into this area as well yes

189

i do a lot of work from home now i go into workshop maybe once a week

190

and it's getting less and less as i like home more

191

and more and it's perfect all my work is online it's absolutely perfect space i work here

192

and sometimes i work upstairs our international builders might laugh

193

when they see where i work from

194

but anyway this is my office welcome to my office it's

195

all you need it is it's all i need it

196

and there is a loft in this home as well yes

197

there are actually two lofts upstairs is for the grandchildren's area

198

and when we have guests the playroom turns into a very smart little guest room

199

so we've got two lofts upstairs which is very useful.

200

That is such a great design and as you say it's

201

so nice that you've been able to incorporate a space for your grandkids into your home as well.

202

They are very very important in my life

203

and I would hate to think that they wouldn't come

204

and have sleepovers with granny because the house was too small

205

so I had to make it special for them

206

and they absolutely absolutely love it they love playing in the loft in their playroom

207

and they love their little cozy loft sleeping area

208

and it's really nice the way

209

that you've also set it up to be a fantastic guest

210

accommodation too yes we do have a lot of friends overseas

211

you know moving from Zimbabwe our friends just went some in London some in Australia

212

and we've had guests from Australia for a week

213

and we've had my bestest friend from England for a week

214

which was lovely and she had to use our bedroom downstairs

215

because she's having problems with her hips so nolan

216

and i lived in the guest room upstairs for a week

217

it's used quite a lot as a guest room as well it is just

218

so nice being able to have

219

that functionality in a home as well yeah versatile yeah

220

and right down the other end of the tiny house is your bathroom can we go take a look at

221

that yes let's go

222

and have a look all right this is a really tidy design i really like the way

223

that you have thought about the flow of this house as

224

you move from the kitchen with the stairs this little walkway

225

that goes through to the back door the washer dryer

226

and then access to your bathroom

227

and your bedroom this has been done in a very tidy way thank you bryce it was my own design

228

because i wanted a bathroom on suite but i needed something

229

that the guests could use as well

230

and it's really only two steps away from my bedroom

231

so it's like a bathroom on suite it works very well i also didn't want to compromise our bathroom

232

which we do sometimes in our designs by having walkways i

233

figured that's upstairs it's the kids they supple they can have the full loft upstairs

234

so there's no walkway into our bathroom

235

but it's a lovely sized bathroom we have a full size shower

236

and of course our dehydrating toilet

237

and yeah we're very happy with the bathroom really beautiful tile

238

work in here as well thank you i wanted it to look like the sea

239

so sea colors rocks i love the sea which is why i've got

240

that massive sea painting in the lounge as well

241

that came from ukraine by the way lovely great artists in ukraine

242

so i want to see sort of feeling we can hear the waves at night time sometimes

243

and the winds blowing in the right direction

244

so i feel a bit as though i'm at the sea

245

when i'm in the bathroom yeah that's so nice and it's great

246

that you've got the back entrance as well

247

because having another entrance into the house is

248

so important isn't it yes for safety as well i've always

249

when we've designed thought well it's good for fire

250

if you've got more than one entrance and exit but also

251

because our washing machine is over there and it's nice

252

and easy for me to get the washing out to the washing line at the back

253

so it works really well unfortunately most people use

254

that as our front entrance which isn't great because

255

if i redesigned the house again we'd make

256

that passage a little bit wider right being a tiny house designer you would know

257

that everything is experimentation isn't it and it's so great

258

that working on a project like this for yourself you get to try out

259

and test these ideas and see what works

260

and what doesn't yes there are a few tweaks that i'd make

261

but i don't think there's much

262

that i'd change at all in this design yeah i really like

263

that and then we've got the bedroom pod yeah let's go

264

and have a look let's take a look this is such a lovely room

265

and what immediately jumps out to me about this room is

266

just how wonderfully connected to the outdoors it is it is i used to think

267

that i'd want to go and sit on the deck

268

and have my tea in the morning but i actually sit in my bed

269

and look out the window sometimes i find i've been here for a very long time

270

but it's just so beautiful looking out through the window yeah

271

and you are surrounded by your family in this room with all of these wonderful photos i am family is

272

so important to me i've got my three girls and my grandchildren

273

and my son -in -laws and it's a lovely space for me just to sit

274

and look at them yeah that is so nice

275

and i love the way

276

that you've decorated this room as well it's just a very nice soft space yes we had to find

277

a between girl and boys idea that I couldn't have too many flowers

278

but Noel was quite happy with what I did here

279

so yeah really happy with it

280

and you've got quite a special wardrobe in this room as

281

well don't you we do I wanted a walk -in wardrobe

282

because Noel even at his age gets up really early to go to work

283

but he can get changed in the dressing room he can quietly sneak up

284

and go to work while I am a lady of leisure

285

and go to sleep that's a nice feature to have I like

286

that I like that and of course you've designed now

287

so many tiny homes for

288

so many people it must have been such a joy to

289

design something for yourself it was this is actually tiny home

290

for us mark three the Sophie design was the first one

291

that I thought we might live in so Shay

292

and I sat down and designed that

293

and then I thought maybe we can even do better than

294

that so yeah there have been about three designs

295

that got us to this place I think in the end we got it exactly as we wanted it yeah

296

and when it came to you designing your own home what were the things

297

that were most important to you yeah and i would advise

298

that everyone does what i used to teach my students at school a pmip pluses minus interesting

299

and possibilities so things

300

that you have to have are your pluses minuses things you definitely don't want interesting things

301

that you would like and your possibilities

302

and how you would get those interesting things

303

and i think we tick the boxes on on everything

304

that we wanted

305

and now you yourself have gone through this downsizing journey how

306

are you finding tiny house life Bryce I honestly wouldn't change

307

it for anything I actually said to Shay the other day

308

if I won lotto I would still live like this I might buy this little paddock

309

so I didn't have to rent it

310

but I would carry on living I love it it's

311

so peaceful calm no stress it really is the best move we've ever made one of the things

312

that that has surprised me about tiny house living is

313

that i can actually fit all my family in it we even watched world cup rugby

314

and we had all the kids we were probably sitting on each other's heads

315

or something but we were all in this tiny little lounge space watching world cup rugby with the grandkids

316

and my children and everyone we found space to sit you don't need a massive lounge to be together so

317

that has made me feel very happy

318

that i can have my whole family in my tiny space

319

and can we talk about the cost

320

that was involved in building this home probably about three hundred thousand

321

so and then the solar power maybe on top of that 350.

322

people tend to think that going tiny is going cheap

323

but it's a real house it's built in the same way

324

as you build houses in fact your biggest cost in a house is your kitchen

325

and your bathroom and the whole tiny house as you can see is mainly kitchen

326

and bathroom and it's really just a real house

327

so you're well settled into your home you've been living here

328

for just over a year now what does the future hold for you

329

i would like to think we're going to be here for the next 10 years

330

and we'll go out in our boxes

331

but you know you never know what life's going to throw at you but

332

if we had it the way we wanted to we would

333

live here until we couldn't live here anymore well sheila this is just such a beautiful home

334

that you've created here i love this design

335

and just how well it fits you thank you

336

so much for sharing it with me it's a pleasure bryson it's been lovely having you here this tiny house is exquisite.

337

They've thought of everything in this place.

338

Great indoor outdoor living, amazing entertaining areas,

339

room for the grandkids, but what really strikes me about this place is just how wonderfully family orientated it is.

340

Sheila and Noel have a home which is perfect for them

341

but that can also beautifully expand when needed so

342

that the whole family can come together and And

343

that really is just one of the things that really makes this place work.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?

Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
