Fritz Tiny Homes packs a micro-gym, an office, and a teaching studio into a flexible 362-square-foot dwelling on Vancouver Island.
Heather and Kevin Fritz of Fritz Tiny Homes just unveiled their latest micro dwelling on wheels—and it’s as much a gym as it is a house. "Our client, a yoga instructor, asked for space for her Peloton bike and an eight-by-eight yoga room, where she could teach remotely," Heather says. "We fit both of these things and more."
Named after the client, Ashleigh Trahan, the home is wrapped in black metal and Douglas fir and features tall windows that showcase the landscape of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
The tiny home in Canada that Fritz Tiny Homes designed for Ashleigh Trahan and her partner Elyse is clad with metal and Douglas fir.

Heather and Kevin Fritz outfitted the living room/yoga studio with a green velvet Article sofa, which they customized by removing the legs and adding a wood base with large built-in storage drawers. An A-frame window fills the tiny home with sunlight and views of the landscape.

"I dreamed of building a tiny house for years—and when the pandemic hit and housing prices skyrocketed, I realized it was the right time to make the dream a reality," says Ashleigh, who lives in the micro-home with her partner Elyse. "I wanted to build a tiny house as a way to live with less and prioritize what really matters to me," Ashleigh adds. "I wanted freedom of location, space for movement, and the ability to enjoy the outdoors."
The Fritzes arranged an open-plan office area between the living room/yoga studio and the kitchen. The area features hidden storage drawers beneath the concrete desktop.
