They also have small outbuildings including an outhouse, a pumphouse for their laundry machines and freezer, an outdoor shower, and a studio space for making music and housing guests.
Luke originally built the tiny cabin as a way to get away from city life so that he could have a quiet and affordable place to focus on making music. The cabin is built on 2.5 acres of shared land that is owned by a friend, and it’s located on unceded Coast Salish Territory.

Having a low-cost housing situation has also given her the financial freedom to spend time building her nutrition business./Exploring Alternatives
