this is incredible. Coromandel itself is one of the most beautiful places i’ve been, and this house perfectly compliments it. the fact that it's 21 years old is kind of shocking, it looks pristine.
I could listen to him describe this all day, as I don’t need a dictionary or google archispeak translate to understand him. Beautiful project, and incredible that it is 21 years old. More of these please. Less of the bifurcationing and juxtapositioning…..
'Simple does not necessaryly mean easy'...this is one of the best examples of the care and attention that is possible in the design of 'a simple box'. Restraint...at it's most understated form...beautifully executed...and well maintained Thanks for sharing. John Ferraz Architect.
This is spectacular. I can't believe it's nearly 21 years old. If you'd told me it was 5 years old, I'd have believed you. I guess that's what great design is all about.
I absolutely love this. What a wonderful space to share with loved ones….and the LOCATION!!!!!! OMG, so,beautiful. You are very privileged to have this.
It struck me as utilitarian. It forces you to engage with the outdoors. Like the cabins I stayed at in Canada which were minimalistic. It's a creative and inventive house. Unusual. Thankyou
I like many of the other people who commented, I am surprised that the home is over 20 years old. It looks brand new. It's such a beautiful design which fits so perfectly into the environment in which it was built. The ability to open the doors to a magnificent view is fantastic. I love the bathtub on wheels and the drawbridge and I love that the house can be closed tight while you are gone. It's lovely! I'm thankful that you took risks in the design which worked out well.
Brilliant design and excellently executed. The fact that it's 21 years old and still looks new is testament to it's clever design and use of materials. A few things that didn't seem to be covered though is, does it have a septic tank and why no solar panels? I love the drawbridge decks but would constantly worry about young kids falling off.
I'm reading all these comments about the fact that the house is 21 years old and looks brand new. I think there are two factors in play here. First, there were obviously good choices made in the design and construction of the house and second, and more important in my opinion, it's a vacation home so it doesn't see the day to day bumps and bruises a full time residence would. It probably has a cumulative "lived in" time of a couple of years. Beautiful home and beautiful location.
I've always loved this house, and reached out to the firm that designed it, but never heard back from them. Perhaps I'll give it another try. You can't help but love the simplicity of it.
Absolutely loved this house. The experience of place and of the materials is deeply satisfying, even when experienced virtually. The down-to-earth, unfussy approach proves that a seemingly simple, prosaic building can answer the users' needs over time AND photograph well. This house is a source of valuable lessons for architects everywhere.
Interesting that this cabin was built 25 years ago. Olson Kundig's widely acclaimed & ubiquitously published False Bay Writer's Cabin - with the same folding shutters/decks setup which I'd erroneously assumed to be innovative - wasn't built until 2010 (12 years ago). So a belated tip of the hat to Mr. Crosson for coming up with the system for his experimental cabin! (And he's right: the interiors still look pristine thanks no doubt to being battened up most of the year.)
Thank you. I wasnt aware of that. It seems that Kundig's cabin is using motor for lifting the deck. Do you know if this one is opened/closed manualy? There are some things visible at 3:49 where you can wind the rope for the smaller part of the decs. I am not sure if it would work for the big deck at the front.
Oh my, that gorgeous bath! Adore it. What a super idea. I hope there are brakes on the wheels. Ha ha. Or not! Raise those side wings and take to the skies. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Love this house. Absolutely perfect. Anyone know how the pulley system works? Not sure if it’s manual or wired to a small motor. Looks like the end of the rope goes under the deck… but I’m intrigued where that goes.
Holiday homes can be very basic and not even be up to building code, and still work for the few weeks per year you live in it. For example, you could have a 'minimalist' (not very good) kitchen. You could bring clothes enough and not have a washer/dryer. You could bring in water and not have plumbing. So as a house it hasn't stood the test of actually living in it. This applies also to the folded-up walls. If there's bad weather, all the freedom this design offers turns the main room into a claustrophobic prison cell. It's a nice and pure idea, and this can sometimes hurt a house as a home to be lived in.

what no cabana hut or pool?
"A refined way of camping" Perfectly stated! Quite an interesting and certainly unique getaway! Nice and private! Like his shirt too!
wowowowow - the simplicity in order to capture the landscapes - to rlly focus on them. amazing
I love projects like this, I want one for myself! My mind was blown when he said it was 21 years old.. I thought it was newly built
3:49 GENIUS. Now I am thinking to drive in the city in a bathtub...
This is an IDEAL vacation home. You have peace of mind when you are there AND when you are not there!!!! Excellent job!!!
The design, location, and the phenomenal rolling tub!!!! Yes, Yes, Yes! Kudos!
Home is “a repository of memories”. How lucky are the extended families to be enjoying this, too!

Respect of the nature, that's what a good architecture delivers.
Nature, thank you for your beauty! Crosson Architects, brilliant work!

speechless setup with nature .....peace and relax living .....

I love the way that Ken talks about the project, such pride in his descriptions
21 years and still looks modern and pristine! What an achievement!
thats incredible .. i thought it was a new build .. wow timeless!
This legit is like my dream house! The view god damn it! Every video I see in this channel is straight out of dreams!
I’m just flashed 🤩 21 years old but still timeless ❤ great ideas, very simple very clean design 👏👏👏 this design is forever ❤❤❤
What a beautifully designed modern cabin.
An amazing building, holding out on mentioning its age made for a pleasant surprise
One of the most amazing structures in the world. Have always loved this project - applause Thanks for the first hand narrative
A slight overstatement mate
What a beautiful and unique home. It's definitely one of my favorite featured on the channel so far.
We're glad you love it!

Beautiful home and beautiful location.
This view reminds me Hobart Tasmania, the view in Taroona. Love love love it!
Awesome project indeed. It's breathtaking, as the mobile tub, I'm so sold.
This channel is urging me to do a master of architect. No joke.
built 21 years ago and looking very contemporary, that's really impressive
Merci, Mr. Bach! Delicious...
Amazing........👍👍👍.....ooohhh what's a cleaver ness of this Beautiful Architecture work.....
Benefit to the wheeled bathtub, you can wheel your mate right off the deck. ;)
😂 😂 😂
It'll be a fun bobsled ride down the hill 😂
I love that rolling tub!
Man, what a spectacular location!
Oh my, this just beckons you in doesn't it? After watching this beautiful story, I just felt that "I want one!"

IT IS SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL
I'm living in a wonderful natural environment like in this video.
Now, If I could have a tiny cabin in this video, I can't ask for more. 👍
A bath on wheels, brilliant!
The worlds best block of land 🧡

Fantastic design. So livable, unique and sublime...!!! ♥
Oops! It seems I went and fell in love with this one! Absolutely stunning!
I can see myself rolling off the side in the bathtub smile 😊
This is a home of my dreams. That roll out tube to die for.
This is now my dream home!
Incredible Outstanding Beautiful 👍🏿
love it, especially it is way ahead of its time build 21 years ago amazing
Wow this is outstanding I have rewatched it and that bathtub idea is the best. Definitely incorporating it
Watching this has been exciting and given me hope . Big thanks!
Beautiful house and location, a house for a lifetime.
this project is just amazing
Absolutely wonderful. The bath! Oh my goodness, genius and delightful. The location and view from this masterpiece holiday home is like no other.
One word: Spectacular!
Excellent design and execution.
Truly a timeless beauty!
There it is 🙃 my very own definition of highly intelligent construction 🤩👌🏽✨ Magnificently impeccable end result! Major props to the teams.
You’d want to lock those wheels on that bath before entering it - you may end up taking a bath in that beautiful bay itself. 🤔
🤭🤭
2:53 What a view to wake up to!
What's amazing camping 💧🌳☁️.)
Incredible design and creativity
I love this channel so much
Same
Same
WOW.. stunning.. I love the design and the view of nature as well! 👍
Finally a home that is not a bunker - not made out of concrete and steel - really nice !! Wonderful !!
Love this one, the site helps a lot but it’s a great design 👏
Some breaks for the bathtub would be practical to avoid some rollercoaster rides down to the sea. :D Love the architecture!
Very good, just magical!
Stunning!!
Very nice person and I like what he said about experimentation, I couldn't agree more 👍 and turned to be a success 👍
Beautiful ❤
So beautiful oh my! ❤❤
21 years?! You could have told me it was a year old and I would have just thought you had gotten pre-weathered wood for the cladding, decks, etc.
Amazing video! Great content!
Such a serene, beautiful project. Love it!
Awesome cabin, so beautiful. Cool decks!
Lovely house in a beautiful environment, though I would love to know how water, electrics, utility services are managed.
stunning.
This house is amazing!
This is exactly what I want in a cabin
Noah's ark ❤️ beautiful
So beautiful ,I like it
beautiful!
Love this house. Absolutely perfect. Anyone know how the pulley system works? Not sure if it’s manual or wired to a small motor. Looks like the end of the rope goes under the deck… but I’m intrigued where that goes.
This is a very nice house, thanks.
Congratulations, beautiful design! Is there somewhere I can see construction plans? Thank you!
More than construction plans, architectural plans
Absolutely Brilliant 🥳🥳🥳
Really nice!
Such a nice place!
not me picturing the bath tub falling off the ledge when someones in it
Love all the designs from Local Project, simple yet elegant. It would be nice if a diagram was presented to see the total home.
great!!

how to even get a building permit for such a property?
