This tiny house in Pampanga meets all the marks of a relaxing but functional modern home.
Ogie Muñoz had always been interested in unique architectural designs. More so with the rising popularity of tiny homes.
One night, as he stumbled upon a beautiful tiny house on Instagram, he became inspired to build his very own.
“Pumasok lang sa isip ko, ‘Bakit hindi magkaro’n dito sa Pampanga ng gano’n?’” he tells the OG team.
“Kinausap ko yung family ko kung okay lang ba sa kanila yung design na gano’n. Very supportive naman sila na pinagamit nila yung family lot namin. Nakatulong sila sa confidence ko na i-pursue yung build na tiny house.”

00:00 What's up OG! I'm Oggy. Welcome to my tiny house here in Pampanga.
00:05 Let's go inside.
00:06 Ever since I was interested in unique architectural designs,
00:21 one night I scrolled on my Instagram and I saw a really nice tiny house.
00:26 I thought, "Why not have a house like that in Pampanga?"
00:32 I asked my family if they were okay with the design.
00:37 They were very supportive and let me use their family lot.
00:41 They helped me to pursue the build of a tiny house.
00:46 Hi! We're now inside the tiny house.
00:53 So this is the tiny house.
00:55 The tiny house is 42 square meters and it's loft type with high ceiling.
01:04 Also, with big windows so that even if the house is small, it will look spacious and big.
01:11 And also, natural light coming in the house.
01:22 The lot size of the property is 140 square meters.
01:26 The floor area of the tiny house is 42 square meters.
01:32 That's the fun thing that our architect and contractor talked about.
01:38 We need to make the utilization of spaces efficient so that there's no wasted space in the area.
01:47 So one more thing about the tiny house, it's an open concept living.
01:52 You can see the bedroom, kitchen, living area, and workstation in just one glimpse.
01:59 To maximize the space since it's only 42 square meters.
02:03 We focused on wood style material so that it will look more natural.
02:13 We focused on wood style material so that we can get the cabin feeling when you go inside our tiny house.
02:20 So we specifically used mahogany for our doors.
02:24 We used hardy planks with wood aspects for the fences so that you can still get the texture of the wood.
02:33 So this is our kitchen area.
02:39 As you can see, it's a floating cabinet and all the appliances and plates are shown.
02:46 So that the space of the house can be increased and we can also see it in the pinterest.
02:53 It's cute to look at.
02:55 Going here, this is the breakfast nook.
02:58 And as you can see, the accent wall looks like wood but it's not.
03:04 We used hardy planks with wood aspects for less maintenance and no noise.
03:13 And here in this door, this is the access to the toilet and bath of the tiny house.
03:22 So as you can see, even though we're a tiny house, we made sure that the toilet and bath is still spacious.
03:31 So that all of our guests can be comfortable.
03:34 So what did I learn from this experience?
03:45 Well, number one is being decisive in the decisions in the house.
03:50 And number two is communication with my team, with the guests, and with other people.
03:58 So number three is patience because you have a lot of people to talk to.
04:03 So you really need to be patient with them because they have different attitudes.
04:08 So another way of how we utilize the space in the tiny house is our storage area.
04:20 It's just below the staircase so you can put your luggages here or any other things.
04:26 And the TV is also attached here.
04:30 So moving on here is the staircase going to the loft bedroom.
04:36 So we're now in our loft bedroom in the tiny house.
04:44 As you can see, our bed is a king-size bed that is very comfortable.
04:49 And I'll just mention it again, our high ceiling.
04:53 We're now on the second floor but as you can see, it's still very spacious.
04:57 I'll just share this.
04:59 These lights are called cove lights.
05:02 So I just asked my architect, Gino Galang, Iris Corpus, and Jello Halili
05:08 because they helped me give the cinematic experience.
05:13 So one of the highlights here in the tiny house, and also why I favorite the bedroom
05:22 is the projector screen which you can watch any movies or series that you want.
05:28 And also, the guests that are downstairs can also see.
05:34 Plus, it's also connected to our speaker here to complete the cinematic experience.
05:40 So in the future, we'll make it private.
05:46 But as of the moment, we're enjoying sharing our tiny house for people who want to stay in it.
05:55 So any advice to those who want to have a business like this or just build their tiny house?
06:08 Number one is, first, find out if you really want to have a real estate business.
06:13 And number two is, you need to educate yourself by reading books.
06:19 There are a lot of books that can help you to understand the real estate side.
06:25 And then number three is, once you get all that knowledge, it's up to you how you'll execute it.
06:32 So what stops people is themselves.
06:37 So it's up to you if you'll continue or just let it be.
06:42 That's all.
06:43 So that ends this episode. Thank you for joining and watching this house tour.
