He Built an 89-Square-Foot House for the Price of an iPhone—Wait Until You See Inside!

While most kids his age were busy with school crushes or gym class, Luke had a bigger vision—literally. Instead of spending his time glued to a screen, he dedicated himself to building his dream house in his backyard—for the cost of a smartphone!

Luke shared his journey on his YouTube channel, explaining how his passion for minimalism and tiny homes fueled his determination. After thorough research and planning, he set out to bring his dream to life.

Raising funds wasn’t easy, but he took a hands-on approach—mowing lawns, organizing fundraisers, and taking on odd jobs like cleaning garages. His dedication paid off, and after about a year, he gathered the money and materials needed to start construction.

Built with Ingenuity and Recycled Materials
Remarkably, 75% of the house was built using recycled and leftover materials, including supplies from his grandmother’s home. The front door? A gift from his uncle.

The tiny home measures 89 square feet, 10 feet long, and about 5.5 feet wide. It even has electricity, though it lacks plumbing for now—meaning no shower or sink just yet.

Luke explained his motivation, saying, “I liked the idea of minimalism and wanted a home without a huge mortgage.”

Though his parents supported him, Luke’s father, Greg, insisted that Luke cover most of the costs himself. Greg saw the project as a valuable learning experience, saying, “It was a chance for a kid to do something more than play video games or sports. It teaches life lessons.”

 

Luke has since gained attention online, sharing his journey through YouTube videos that have intrigued and inspired many. His story proves that with determination and creativity, even the wildest dreams can become reality.
