Support Systems Around The House
Several of the cabin’s most important systems sit outside the main living space. A giant rainwater tank collects water from the roof, while solar panels supply the electricity Kayla needs for lights, charging, and a few basic appliances. A small outhouse toilet uses composting to get rid of human waste.
The surrounding garden is just as important. Kayla grows food, cares for old fruit trees, and uses the land as part of her daily routine. Trips to shops take planning, so anything she can grow or store at home is useful. The property also gives her room to grow as an artist. Her home, garden, and workspace all blend naturally together.
Since there is no WiFi at the cabin and mobile reception is limited, Kayla's days revolve around cooking, tending plants, making things, maintaining the property, and sitting by the fire. Life here demands more effort than in a normal house, but the quiet surroundings give her the independence she had always looked for.
