Located on the east coast of Tasmania, Australia, Pine Flat Lodge emerges from the environment as a place of retreat and immersion. The off grid cabin is proposed as a minimal insertion within the landscape, a simple gesture that holds the space between the pines and the expansive view beyond the site.
Imbued with a sense of belonging and placemaking, the off grid cabin was approached in a deliberate manner, with focus placed on the conservation and rehabilitation of the land. As a response, the architecture and interior design of the off grid cabin accentuates an outward perspective, blurring the lines between indoors and out. The off grid cabin is comprised of a series of modules within a continuous envelope, which in turn opens out to the landscape. The communal spaces are separated by decks and continue the structure’s discourse with the external environment, while the sleeping quarters represent an intended moment of quiet and retreat. The off grid cabin tour also highlights Pine Flat Lodge’s solar power and rainwater collection, a physical reminder to visitors to be mindful when experiencing the space and landscape.
When designing a cabin, especially one that operates off grid, sustainability must inform each component. The material of the cabin is motivated by the surrounding context - sustainably sourced timber is used throughout the off grid cabin. The structure utilises resources in an accountable way by pursuing efficient use of materials and minimising carbon footprint while supporting local craftsman. Bespoke details feature throughout the cabin, celebrating craft and the natural environment in an authentic and sustainable manner.

I have been a fan of your channel for about 6 months. I live in Houston, Texas USA where the environment is not even a word. Nothing but a concrete jungle here. I'd give anything to travel between Australia and New Zealand. I dream of building a home for my wife and my two dogs there. Some of my personal favorite videos are The Point, The Witta Circle, and Five Acres just to name a couple. I miss mostly seeing the nighttime sky (stars). What a Splendid channel.
Having lived for 4 years in Dallas, your comment resonates with me. The consumption of resources there, the endless expansion of track homes, apartments, and strip malls is honestly disgusting.
@@NathanShehadeh I could not agree with you more Nathan. It's beyond disgusting. I was out in LA last month like here in Houston It's a monster endless cars driving down a 20 lane freeway. The materials thy have used protecting the environment like thy down under really makes me appreciate the effort and to create a home that is environmentally friendly and yet stunning. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Rod
I hope your dreams come true
@@ethanetcell666 Thank you! Happy Holidays Poppa!
Used to live in Hou.&Dallas,go out to Big Bend, very much like this part of Australia.
Beautiful, and Tony Anderson's music, uff! I love it
So beautiful and poetic. Music, architecture and the architects comment...simply amazing. Well done!
I love the texture of the timber, in the passageways. Also the way the building, gently touches the land. Appropriate that it is situated in Tasmania
Great work. Material is perfect, shower is cool. Would be nice to see a plan as the building is very thin, would be nice to see how it's resolved. Great work guys
This building makes it so much more beautiful with this edit and music !!😍
yes, I want to know the who the composer is of this music haha
مشروع رائع ومنفتح، أكاد اتنفس من العليل على نوافذه، التصوير والقصة وراءه لا يقدران بثمن، حتى الموسيقى جد رائعة
These videos wipe my soul clean.
Wow! I didnt expect this! A simple elongated home with sustainability makes it very livable. I like it. Thanks Local Project
the design choices in this are exquisite
This is quite an amazing home, with such an unusual footprint, a long continuous horizontal plane. I have been watching this channel for several months, and I don't recall ever seeing a project like this one that focused on sustainability and preservation of the environment. I see that the homeowners are living off the grid, understandable, given the location. I would have wanted a bit more information about the use of solar panels on the roof as well as the rainwater collection tanks, and even the nitty gritty of whether they utilize composting toilets. In regard to sustainability, it would be nice to see more urban projects with renovation of existing spaces. I can think of the Cairo Flats in Melbourne, which have historical significance, and are modernized for the current homeowners.
There are multiple homes on this channel that are very similar to this one and even focus on sustainability and the environment.
I feel it's mostly out of necessity rather than sustainability. Australia is almost as large as mainland US, but inhabits only 26 million people. The low density makes it cost prohibitive to hook anyone up to the grid outside of populous areas. Where I live now, it's 35km from the centre of Melbourne and we're only connected to the electric grid. The house itself functions like a normal house with the exception that rain water is collected from the roof into a 30,000l tank. An electric water pump supplies water to the house. Waste ends up in a septic tank. It's not entirely self sustaining and needs to be cleaned out from time to time. But overall, it does make you aware of your water usage.
The biggest issue however is that most houses here aren't that energy efficient. And because it's not that common, building one can get very expensive if you want to do it right. You'll notice that most of these cabins in these videos rely on wood fire stoves to keep them warm, because of the large single glazed windows. You can get double glazing here, but it's usually not up to the standards you'll find in Europe. So to heat up a home and keep it warm, you would need an excessive amount of solar panels to compensate in the winter months.
These cabins look great as a get away in summer, but I can't imagine them being that comfortable in winter. Especially in places like Victoria and Tasmania where it does get cold.
I love the simplicity, but complexity
So beautiful. Literally crying.
This is by far & away my favourite piece of architectural design on UA-cam: simple, functional, sympathetic to its surroundings & aesthetically pleasing. I also liked listening to the designers talk about their work. None of this over embellished theoretical nonsense or design snobbery that often ruins so many uploads. Well done on every front!
What a dream house.... amazing and simple at the same time
This channel keeps getting better
Beautiful horizontal plane, I love how it sits into the landscape.
what an amazing location and structure.
Well...I just realized I'm a fan of Thomas Bailey's work.
Enjoyed From The Caribbean 🇻🇨
really like the project also the background music, i am thinking to build my own house as well !
I love it
Absolutely beautiful!
Love the house!!
Amazing space. Amazing location.
I would love to know more about the surface in the shower. I've been looking for alternatives to tile, and this looks amazing (assuming it performs well). Great job, cheers!
Gorgeous presentation, as always!
What an amazing design! Absolutely love this!
Love the unique design!
Amazing as always - thank you!
😇
This is incredible!!

What is the music? It’s absolutely stunning and moving.
Nuit by Tony Anderson Feat. Bonnie Brooksbank, Lara Somogyi, Chris Coleman & Timbre
@@gakatnoornib thank you. Bravi, tutti!
@@matthewlinaman I did subscribe you channel, my God your music it's so awesome and beautiful! 🎶🎶
Wow
Bravo❣️
Architects a must wear uniform :- black, navy blue or grey
Allowing them to play with environment, building form, texture, colour and fulfilling a Client's brief with no distractions!
Can somebody tell me about the music ? who made that ? it's stunning...
Very nice house, would have been curious to see the original steel design as well.
❤❤❤❤❤
Познавательно
does Tasmania not have the same fire concerns/restrictions that main land Australia does?
beautiful home
why are all the cool "tiny" houses in new zealand and australia? do they have special offers from the state???
环境不错
How much does these cost
Love, love, LOVE this house but whoever gave permission for a family holiday home to be built anywhere near those pine trees should be fired on grounds of insanity. Obviously they had LOTS of money to sway the voices of reason who were supposed to be protecting this precious landscape.
This is shocking 😢
Looks like a freight wagon.
🤗
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💚
how is this built at the fundation ? concrete ?
Where in Europe is possible to build off grid sustainable homes? In Italy is impossible due to old people with old mindsets.
So, basically, it is a shipping container house with some sliding barn doors.
can you share project details
the music is so dramatic.
I don’t find it integrates well in the landscape. Does it?
But nicely modular
Designed “to be morally understandable and justifiable” ... What the 🤦♂️
It’s a basic long house with large glass panels on a beautiful site. Less of the baloney speak please.
Another design in Australia, that anyone could design. Make a box that's all on one floor, put lots of windows and manufactured shade, add solar, and put it on a beautiful open space. Show me something that isn't designed for one season and that's off grid.
Unlike other Local Project videos, the music makes this one unwatchable.
Why this trend for flat roof boxes? Do pine trees have flat tops?
@Terry Wrist what the fuck are you on about lmao? Do you think flat boxes are supposed to be more climate friendly or something? It's just a design trend, love it or hate it.
Having a flat roof actually improves the temperature regulation of the inside of a structure like this. The space crated by a traditional roof creates a large air gap storing heat in the summer and cold in he winter causing the need for either additional ventilation or cooling or heating therefore increasing the occupants cost even with good insulation. A strong flat roof dispatch heat mainly pretty quickly.... it's why computer heat sinks are NOT made in a pyramid shape.
Also the traditional roof creates a lot of material waste solely based on it's design along with losing an easier ability for a structure to adapt over time to requirement changes.
The "box" shape structure also cuts way down on material waste as well because its easier to make a square from straight line than to make circles and triangles etc. You would be surprised at the amount of material waste ( money waste ) goes into the traditional structure.
That is the short answer to your question and not the excrement brain fart answer above about "woke....etc".
I know one of the reasons why people use flat roofs is to reduce the visual impact of the structure
The house may be all that you claim, but it is also essentially a privately owned, single-family, detached, second home on a remote, (presumably) formerly indigenously tended site, designed for the delectation (and moral absolution) of a few affluent, leisured people. As Theodor Adorno once said, wrong life can't be lived right.
No question, it’s a great house but archispeak is just the worst.
한국에서는 불법건출물이지,,,,,맹지에 건물을 지었으니,,,,,
I'd make a couple of points: the first and most obvious one is that the music is WAY too loud, at one point I couldn't hear the narration whatsoever - dial it down a bit, please.
Secondly, this extruded, linear plan is about as inefficient a footprint as it's possible to create. So spare me the continuous spiel about it being "an efficient building", it's not. You'd use much less material and have less structure the closer you got to a square footprint. Having said that, I do like the building but it's not that great, maybe a 7/10 IMO.
there are 8 billion people in the world. how long can you "conserve the land"? eventually, there will be 40 billion, and 100 billion etc. they all need to live somewhere, eat, drink, breath, consume, create waste. its called: LIVE.. its a lost cause.
Population will max out at 11 billion due to declining fertility rate.
@@masterkielbaster we believe you....
@@iVisual.sambonkowski thanks, but you don't need to, check it yourself
@@masterkielbaster "check"? unless you got a prophecy talent, how can you check something that is simply an opinion or a "prediction" or a wishful thinking? they cannot even predict the weather this afternoon so how can you make such a silly and naive statement?
@@iVisual.sambonkowski one can make pretty good predictions for next 50-100 years, but further into the future anything is possible, even 100 billion people or 0.
Nice design, but just too woke.
2:40 will _look_ you're using too much steel : )
Wow
