An artist turned a studio that's 18 feet high into a tiny home and rents it on Airbnb for $112 a night
Two years after Sheree Rasmussen's partner passed away, she decided to repurpose an artist studio he'd built into a tiny home to rent out on Airbnb.
The 70-year-old textile artist wanted to honor Clive Russell's life and work by sharing the Red Tower with others, so she turned it into a rental property in 2018. The couple purchased 30 acres of rural land in a small town called Castleton in Ontario, Canada, about 15 years ago, and Russell built the studio for them to work in.
"When Clive passed away I pondered over what to do with it because it is such a unique building," Rasmussen told Insider."I thought 'why not rent it out?' because it would be a beautiful way for me to share his work and land." Rasmussen said it mainly appeals to young people from Toronto, which is about two hours away, who want to spend a few nights seeing the stars, building a campfire, and enjoying nature."The winters are very long and the landscape can be very bleak in Ontario, so the idea was to install a bright red sculpture to bring some color to it," Sheree Rasmussen said.
