    Located on the north of Bruny Island, Killora Bay is an off grid cabin surrounded by untouched bushland and wild grass trees. The vibrant forest landscape embraces the home, allowing the residents to connect with nature and live privately in the delicate environment. The site, with its natural clearing, came with certain restrictions that included a predetermined building zone, which informed the scale of the off grid cabin’s structure.
    The restrictions poised a challenge that ended up being integral to the design of the off grid cabin. The architecture needed to be flexible - the home’s small floorplan meant that each building element needed to work hard to achieve a comfortable and versatile space. This included having fold-out beds to work as part of the joinery, allowing rooms to be used for different functions when needed.
    The internal spaces were designed with high ceilings and glass windows to bring light and movement into the interior design. Remaining connected with nature, the external greenery frames the interior rooms, with sunlight casting ever-changing shadows indoors. As an off grid cabin, the sliding doors allow the home to embrace the exterior as its own.
    The material palette of the home is simple, giving the opportunity for the landscape to speak first. As an off grid cabin, it was important that the materials met bushfire regulations, but also worked in harmony with the surrounding forest landscape. The dark-stained timber cladding contrasts against the white concrete poured within the interior - the concrete has a raw finish and continues to bring the landscape’s earthy palette inward.

    The Shack, you have to love that, it suggests that there is not a sense of preciousness here and yet, everything was treated as if it was/is. The modesty of the scale relative to the majesty of the land is so respectful and inspiring. There is no mistake that this is a very special home. Restrained, refined and still cozy. Remarkable.

    Thanks again for taking us on your rides! I rode a BMW for 8 years and traded it in prior to our first of two kids. 5 more years and they’ll be out of high school and it will be time again to get back in the saddle. Your videos bring me back so closely to the memories and reasons why I got a bike. I’ll enjoy these next 5 years without a bike, and hopefully more of your trips, but I’ll be looking forward to riding once again.

      @@gamm8939 It's misleading, maybe someone don't know what off grid actually means. As in, getting out of the city/suburb is off grid, which many mistakenly believe. Anyways, great little cabin, but looks pricey! All that glass must've cost a fortune.

    Undoubtedly a beautiful project. It does strike me that many of these projects in natural, unspoilt places still have a massive carbon footprint and little mention is made of it. At least this home is small, already a saving of precious materials and their transport, but concrete? One of the least sustainable materials around. And this is the thing, people want what they want, we all do it, style at any cost. In Australia more than most places, transforming how you think about building might make quite a difference…
