This gorgeous tiny house captures the creative spirit of B.C.’s Salt Spring Island

The Keva house was constructed on a trailer measuring 22 feet by 8.5 feet, and the covered deck sits on 8-foot pallets for easily disassembly when it’s time to move.

From the covered deck (essential for the Pacific Northwest’s showers), French doors open into a space just big enough to practice your downward dog.

The kitchen prep counter doubles as an airy workspace, and features local timber with a live edge.

A tempered glass floor beside the loft bed lets light from the sky flood through to the space beneath.

A dual gas-burner cooktop heats a kettle for tea, and stones serve as a clever natural-looking backsplash.

A hammock strung between tall pines waits as a reward for when the dishes are done.

In addition to the live-edge countertop, features throughout the house are framed with naturally finished local wood.

Storage is at a premium in tiny homes, and the daybed bench is flanked by clever stowaway spots.

No space is wasted in a tiny home, from the shallow shelving at the end of the prep counter to the baseboard drawers beneath it.

Who needs a lake when your kitchen looks out into Salt Spring Island’s lush rainforest?

Wicker boxes and baskets help keep closet space free from chaos.

A washbasin and clawfoot rod make for a rustic and charming shower, while a rain shower faucet brings the rainforest into the bathroom.

Who needs a grungy bathmat when you can step out of the shower and onto a floor made of ocean-smoothed stones?

The bedroom loft measures 64 sq. ft., and features a large skylight and wraparound windows.

Above the transom window is another skylight, along with more tucked-away storage for a tiny library.

A doorless commode deep in the woods courageously puts the “out” in outhouse.

The covered veranda lets plenty of light in while offering refuge from the island’s showers.

A retrieval barrel collects the home’s greywater. In the dry season, Rebecca uses it to water her garden. In the wet season, she lets it run out into the forest. (She uses only environmentally friendly products.)

The tiny Keva house sits on a property owned by Rebecca’s friends, and her equally tiny rent also covers parking, laundry facilities, water, hydro, wifi, and kayak storage.
