Being an avid outdoors person, it reminded me of a tent, but in the most positive way imaginable. It's very raw and earthy, yet comforting and secure. Great work.
That 7 minutes flew by! Just goes to show that great design needn't always have a pool and six-car garage. Such an enthralling and well shot documentary...
Love the houses, and the cinematography. And also the music choices. About this house - so elegant and calm. I think the tub outside is a great idea. I couldn't see not having a ground floor main bedroom or Murphy bed, though. That ladder stair is scary for anyone with physical problems (knee problems, say) or who is aging or has bad balance. I am sure it suits the owner currently, but it won't be good forever.
anyone would have a spiritual experience staying in that house. I’m an architect myself and I love this channel. And also thank you Local Project would choosing great music! Not the typical cheesy music played over many architecture videos, that’s often excessively happy/major key and predictable.
All of the projects I've seen on The Local Project are phenomenal. Most are off-grid and isolated, but I haven't heard any details about waste, refuse and toilets. Would love to know what you're doing with that.
At 4:18 there is a reference to "gas hot water". Does the owner need to bring a bottle of propane with them when they come to stay? Why not use solar hot water? "some practical things that we needed to think about, such as bush fire protection" Bravo! I continue to be amazed at cabins in the forest I see on Instagram and UA-cam where the architect, builder or owner has apparently given no thought to this problem.
Saw this place visited by another Australian channel. They made it look a lot more basic. But it is great design. Bruny island sure seems like it is getting overdeveloped now given the run of locations we've had on this channel this year!
@@bennybnb thanks for responding. It looks beautiful. I’ve seen this cabin featured on another UA-cam channel and there’s lots to love about the design. I don’t have a fear of heights (rock climber), but I have an illness that causes vertigo so mindful of ladders and stairs because I can fall over on flat ground. I’d love a stay in this minimal, magical slice of heaven.
@@kayelle8005 your most welcome! Thanks for asking me! I see. The ladder is strong and sturdy, but it is quite steep. One thing that might be worth asking the owner about (if you decide to go) is O believe there is a second mattress/bed that can be set up on the day bed on the lower level. Although not a typical part of a regular booking, this may be something they can set up. This way you have a back up option of the ladder proves too risky. It is a glorious property. So special. You will absolutely love it if you go. 😄❤️
All introverts everywhere would cream their pants seeing this; and with your sponsor at the end I'm pretty sure you know your audience as the anxious/"kinda want to be left alone most times" crowd
Alot was made about the building being completely off-grid but scant attention given to the components that had it be so. The wood burning fire was was obvious, but where was the water coming from as could not see a watertank etc. Whilst beautiful this seemed more like a commercial
Gas?! I can’t understand why you can’t make it all electric. Put more panels on roof and sides and other buildings, batteries are charged up while you are away. Or have an old windmill converted to be a generator. This is what I’m going to be doing with my build next year.
3:44 looks like laminated wood for the top with the sink on the right... the oven/fireplace/stovetop combo though is probably a custom made steel fireplace with chimney
Minimalism is for not being mentally exhausted, and giving the heart a rest in an environment. Taiwanese are not used to sitting on the floor, but only when there is a Japanese room.
With all these amazing designs in remote places that open up to the environment, aren't you just inundated with bugs? Coming from the Midwest US and now living in the PNW, I'd love to have large open windows and doors like that, but without screens you'd be overrun in minutes, especially at night.
An entire video about the "natural wood" and "special natural light". This is a "fully self sustained" living space which would have been more interesting to hear about. How is it powered besides the obvious solar panels? What kind of panels? What about power usage, storage, special equipment? What about the plumbing? What about the water treatment? What about the security? What about those "ways to protect it from bush fire"? What about communications? What type of wood is the exterior wood? How was the foundation placed specifically for the structure? What is it's special benefit? What is it's purpose? You know, the things that makes a house...a house. Otherwise it's just another interpretation of a cookie cutter blueprint that you can get for free on the internet. There are only SO MANY ways you can "poetically" describe the cladding and paint on a box/house.....and it is getting tiring at this point.

I like this little building but.. there is a great range of stunning blonde Tasmania timbers available locally yet radiata pine was used for the internal cladding and fobbed off as a deliberate choice? I suspect it was a budget choice rather than a deliberate aesthetic decision? either way it was sadly a missed opportunity to take the building to a higher level. I still like the building though, just not the pine.
Nah spiders aren't a concern but venomous snakes are along with mosquitoes which now carry the potentially fatal Japanese Encephalitis Virus in Australia. Not sure if it's hitched a ride on the Spirit of Tasmania yet.
I love the content of these videos. I wish the "vibe" of each video would reflect the architects though. Not every architect is softspoken (but it seems that each video they must portray this "vibe") and I think the videos would benefit if you removed the music that is overlayed on everything. Again, I love the content and this is just some constructive feedback.
This is the first NTS that I had to skip through because the motion + intense music was just too much. And I didn't learn about any specifics about the appliances and how they were hidden, the hot tub, how the cabin even closes itself off at night, etc.
"The real challenges are how to incorporate the various surfaces in a poetic way" = slap the solar panels on the roof bro. Nothing grinds my gears like architect language!
These guys are being completely pretentious. It's not that the finished product they made is no good, but how they desperately attempt to try shower their own work with words like "poetic" and "honest." They sound like a bunch of university students selling their project during critique. It's especially grating when they are trying to elevate their creation as humble and down-to-earth.
Need passive heating and cooling rather solely on solar panels. The high placement of solar power make maintaining the panel harder if it had been lower. Fire resistant wall and plants should be constructed to resist wild fire. The cabin also stand out like a sore thumb which did not blend into the landscape in an aesthetic ways either...
This must be a second home. There is no way that you would build such a structure on this amount of land if this was your first home.It is more of a statement that appeals to the ego.
Why do all these people consider natural light “poetic” when nothing hugely special is being done to either the cladding or glazing? I think the term is becoming overused and sounds like something a Realestate agent would use rather than an architect. I’ve only seen a select few videos where it’s truly been special. Instead I feel it’s code name for “we have windows”
You're telling me you don't want to hear someone shallowly praise their own work for 5 minutes to the score of an action film and instead discuss the design in a substantiative manner? Unreasonable!
The production and filming are incredible, but the transition to better help could be waaay better. Instead of just switching to the sponsor, you could connect it to the video. An example: if you are living in an off-grid cabin, getting a therapist can be pretty challenging. Better help is here to solve that for you, etc...
Nice that you are actually acknowledging Japan as an influence, finally. In your previous videos, you were completely eurocentric, while borrowing shamelessly from Japan and Asia.
Scored this like a movie trailer
your editors/videographers deserve a raise!! everything about this video is a visual experience, a work of art. incredible!
Honestly, one of the most beatiful houses i've ever seen
Being an avid outdoors person, it reminded me of a tent, but in the most positive way imaginable. It's very raw and earthy, yet comforting and secure.
Great work.
LOVING these Japanese/Japanese-inspired homes. So elegant and understated.
That 7 minutes flew by! Just goes to show that great design needn't always have a pool and six-car garage. Such an enthralling and well shot documentary...
I needed 5 more minutes of this story. This project and the firm that created it are divine.
you had me at Bruny Island....but the design is magic. Such a serene vibe...I feel calmer just watching this video.
Love the houses, and the cinematography. And also the music choices.

That ladder stair is scary for anyone with physical problems (knee problems, say) or who is aging or has bad balance. I am sure it suits the owner currently, but it won't be good forever.
Love the hard, protective surface of the roof and upper walls protecting the more natural, warm and intimate wood surfaces of the living space below.
Beauty at the bottom of the world. Impossible to capture the true magic of that place on film…but you have come darn close 🙌
anyone would have a spiritual experience staying in that house. I’m an architect myself and I love this channel. And also thank you Local Project would choosing great music! Not the typical cheesy music played over many architecture videos, that’s often excessively happy/major key and predictable.
Simplicity at its finest! Thanks Local Project
So beautifully simple, in a minimalistic poetic way
My God this is inspiring. I'd love to see more detail in terms of the services. ie. septic, gas, solar.
Wow. Love the two decks
What a beautifully designed cabin. 🐨
Such an amazing project in an amazing location!
Thats pretty close to a perfect cabin. Simple, elegant and timeless design. I dont say this often. I usually say its crap. Super duper.
These houses look small from outside but they have the space of a city inside!
Living in Southern California.. Just looked up where Bruny Island was. Never wanted to disappear somewhere more, lol.
All of the projects I've seen on The Local Project are phenomenal. Most are off-grid and isolated, but I haven't heard any details about waste, refuse and toilets. Would love to know what you're doing with that.
This is a perfect cabin for me. I LOVE it!
simply loved it. thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!

This cabin is so beautiful and cozy!
is it possible for you guys to provide us with the floor plans of the projects in the future ?
DREAM CABIN!

The Architecture is beautiful, but I mean, can we please give a standing ovation to the person behind the camera
Very nice. I wonder if the natural steel cladding could have been coated with a paint to add a touch of elegance. At the moment it looks quite raw.
if this video was a movie i will definitely pay to watch it 😂
Another wonderful video. Enjoyed watching this from Cleveland, Ohio, USA.
would be amazing to write an album there
Great Insights! I loved staying here. By far my most favorite airbnb in southern Tas, and my most viewed video too! :)
Is the ladder difficult m to navigate?
@@kayelle8005 I did't find it difficult. It has great grab rails and nice wide tread.

Beautiful house with a serene presence. Not too sure about the Kmart stool as the bathroom basin support though 🤔
Nit picker
Amazing ......

Such an amazing design! looks so relaxing 😀😀
I reaaly like it ... warm cozy feeling ... just wonder, why two sinks, but no dishwasher
Alot was made about the building being completely off-grid but scant attention given to the components that had it be so. The wood burning fire was was obvious, but where was the water coming from as could not see a watertank etc. Whilst beautiful this seemed more like a commercial
Japan !!!
How does the cabin benefit the environment immediately surrounding it? Real curiosity
Hahahahaha typical architect bull-speech. The cabin is nice though.
It’s ‘poetry’ - lol.
Love this project 🥰
aweosome

fall in love
💯Awesome place! What type of metal is used for the kitchen countertops? 👀
3:44 looks like laminated wood for the top with the sink on the right... the oven/fireplace/stovetop combo though is probably a custom made steel fireplace with chimney
Hey there, I stayed here a few months ago. it's steel. Makes it easy for puting hot items of the stove straight on to it :)
Wow
Wow like it
Minimalism is for not being mentally exhausted, and giving the heart a rest in an environment.
Taiwanese are not used to sitting on the floor, but only when there is a Japanese room.
Why does the music from around 1 minute sound so familiar? Is it used in a certain movie or TV Show?
what kind of music is that?
❤️❤️❤️

Yes bugs and venomous snakes. And now we have Japanese Encephalitis Virus in Australia which is transmitted by mosquitoes.

Beautiful craftsmanship and design. The bath could have been a Japanese wood tub…. The white bath looks out of place within the location…
just curious what is the sqm of the building
Consider the deadly spiders in every square inch of green around the house.

What wood stove is that
just wanna bang here for 3 days in june
How much would it cost to build a home like this?

"The real challenges are how to incorporate the various surfaces in a poetic way" = slap the solar panels on the roof bro. Nothing grinds my gears like architect language!
I know, it BS!
cool video but the movie trailer music is just too much
I like how these high end places will use that cheap looking wood. Growing up using hunting camps and I cant stand the look of that wood.
"honesty in design". anyone know what that means in normal English that normal people speak?

continuation of Shrek 👍
Ugh Those Dutch angles gave me vertigo
music was the antithesis of a relaxing, secluded cabin. it stressed me out
nice little gaff .. background sound abit over the top
Cool. But the music choice is very off. Its tense, almost scary movie szene like, when the vision was minimalism and relaxation...
the music score was distracting and didn’t fit at all
creepy music: netflix trailer
🉐㊙️㊗️❤️❤️
It's lovely, but the shite talk that goes with it is a bit much. The standard looks like a gang of lads did a DIY job.

It's cool, but 3 minutes would have been an ideal length.
The music is a bit too sinister for this video.
Nice building but damm the production of these videos I'd annoying. Please just do a normal walk through instead.
"poetic," "poetic," "*buzzword*," "poetic."
‘Off Grid’ until your gas bottle hot water runs out… Wold have been nice for a more sustainable hot water solution.
with plenty of wood around a rocket stove will heat up water nicely
Off grid and autonomous are two different concepts.
Felt like the music didn't match up.
Nice that you are actually acknowledging Japan as an influence, finally. In your previous videos, you were completely eurocentric, while borrowing shamelessly from Japan and Asia.
I visited because it called local project but there are no local style?
Taiwanese and Japanese... uhh,, not.. not the same...
Hi I am working on a project, and will love to have ur opinion on it. I can send you little bit about it by email. Thank u
有中文字幕真好👍
