As a lover of cabins, small living and clever architecture, I was more than excited to take a closer look inside Casa Acton. This moveable 53sqm bush dwelling in Tasmania was designed and built by Josh FitzGerald (a founding director of Archier) along with his partner Millie Ashton. Adopting a simple SIPs construction, this home is detailed and anchored with locally sourced sandstone, timbers and plants (many plants!) and invites you to slow down and engage with the landscape.
Josh set out to design a simple envelope with achievable detailing, which easily related to the standardised measurements of the SIP (Structurally Insulated Panels) system. As an owner builder, he couldn’t design something complicated, or he wouldn’t be able to build it. This didn’t detract from details being refined and considered, but simplicity was key.

I guess you should be careful with using such a huge amount of particle board. I think it can look really nice, but most people don‘t know that it contains poisonous chemicals which leach into the air of your home. And i believe that an extensive use (like in this home) can lead to health risks.

Lucy is definitely a fan of this architect as everything about the house seems fantastic, plants, jungle, dogs and all! Yes, it's a nice house but the choice of materials is not for everyone as mentioned by some here. The kitchen seems dark even during the day, so perhaps a skylight or a glass roof might help IMO.
The play of the level difference between the kitchen and the dining is just brilliant. Resolves the plumbing and ergonomic in one go! genius : )

In deed ! One of my favourite details. I'm sure there's an explanation for it...but why would they design the step to not be aligned with the counter, as you walk in ? I'd hold the step down to align with the counter as you come in, in order not to step down and step up again, when entering directly to the living room side. It doesn't make much sense as it is. I love OSB , but it just didn't connect for me, here. The interiors feel so warm, and carefully detailed..and the OSB doesn't sit well. Either as a contrasting approach..or as a natural aligning with the rest. The flooring is exactly that _ a show stopper. Bloody hello, its gorgeous. Incredible details and love went into it, most definitely. And all the more significant knowing it was the owner that made it happen. The bathroom seems great too, and site for the home itself....well.. ;) Congrats to the owners/designers, and thank you for sharing . Cheers from Portugal

@@V4D2 I was thinking the same thing too. But maybe they wanted a sense of separation between the front door and the office/living room? Some people dont want to come in the front door and immediately they are in the living area. Or maybe its for architectural or personal reason.
View from outside this house looks FANTASTIC! Sand stone floor looks AMAZING! Huge windows all around look GREAT! The UNFINISHED OSB walls look ABSOLUTELY STUPID!!!
I appreciate the use of raw natural finishes and utilizing SIPs as a component of the overall design aesthetics. I appreciate the greyhounds even more!

To be honest, this wouldn’t too much effort for someone to genuinely build. Of using alternative materials but general layout is pretty straight forward. Land and services being the only challenge. Nice tour 👊🏼
This is an absolutely devine small home in all respects. I can imagine the rich smell of wood, earth and the surrounding bushland. I agree the stone floor is a hands-down (or celebratory up) show stopper that's clearly been lovingly carved and laid out as a piece artwork itself by this home's Master. Just love every element - a personal favourite dream home for me. Thank you for sharing!

Sorry, but here in the States, particle board is associated with cheap building. Commonly used in trailer construction (mobile homes), it's known for coming apart, warping and rotting when wet. The manufacturer printing on it is not my idea of glowing ambience. It's the sort of thing you'd use to throw together for a hunting camp shelter, but even hunting camps have an old sofa and a few lawn chairs. I can't imagine inviting people over to hang around the bar here and expecting them to stand the entire time. I've seen a similar small lay-out in a vid about a retired NZ couple using shipping containers, and it was far more finished and comfortable. This just looks dark and scratchy.

I'm in love ... This cabin speaks to me 😍 ... I mean ... It does have some small things that I would change (sofa in living area, window in kitchen and toilet), but overall as a concept ... beautiful. From raw materials used ... inside and outside, to simplicity of building method with SIPs, simplicity of used space and minimalistic approach ... but yet ... soo soo rich. One of the best and beautifull cabins I've seen on youtube ... by far. Cheers from Croatia
Beautiful. I love the simplicity, functionality and design. Amazing!

Although there is a huge class front, it looks like a cave. The OSB boards give the impression of a unfinished construction site.

I see a lot of people are concerned about OSB chemicals but it really depends which type of OSB it is. I do agree this place has a lot of hard surfaces and the echo must be pretty bad. Cool look though. I would maybe add a skylight above the kitchen countertop to add natural light. Definitely a minimal approach to design and living that only suits a small amount of people but very cool regardless

You were in my mind. Definitely a skylight. I would do an actual divider tfor the bedroom that integrated a wardrobe/closet space all the way to the ceiling
I love it! For me personally I would ad a hanging chair or hammock. When I lived I Mexico we never sat on the sofas, but we spent a lot of time on the hammocks.
A little lime plaster and clay paint instead of the particle board and it would be perfect. I wonder if the kitchen stepdown continues through to the bathroom?
Love this place...this feels so calm and home.
The simple house lay out is near to genius, perfect for 1 or 2 person. I may put a living space between the kitchen and sleeping corner.
Looks great & clever design, thanks for the walk thru…👍

I love the smell of VOCs from OSB. Great to live in!
I like the over all concept of the house it looks rustic and natural..
Even though I live on the opposite side of the world I've been familiar with Archier's work for a while now. Nice to see this house. I love the simpleness and smallness and floor plan. The choice of materials is too rough for my liking and there are too many plants inside the house as well. These factors make the house rather dark, especially for a building this small, a lighter ambience would have made it better as far as I'm concerned.
wonderful

Isn’t it the use of OSB is toxic in the long term? It is a type of particle board that had chemicals and resins as binder. For me, the design of the interior is good but not the materials.

Very cool, but how long before the OSB stops outgassing? the color of the walls sort of closes the space inwards. Wouldn't the space be served better by lighter brighter walls that would bounce light off? The plants, the humans and the pets would feel so much better. The Flooring is phenomenal! The multipurpose kitchen island is brilliant! The Bathroom is so Zen and it's gorgeous! All the natural greenery looks great and is cleaning the air. The whole project, truly, so earthy and wonderful! - Susan J Mielke Designs, Former 'Green" Interior Designer, Minneapolis, MN
너무좋다~~~~~~🤗🤗🤗 WOW. . . .
Nice house but I do not like the particle board walls. The plain one piece sheets of wood are a bit more expensive but better.
you rock!!
It’s cool, but I definitely would’ve incorporated rooflights
The only thing I liked about this home was the two lovely dogs being allowed on the bed to snooze.

That is beautiful!!! I'm taking notes... I would prob paint the ceiling white or a light color, for the plant attaching to the wall you might put a matte undetectable piece of plexiglass or glass behind it so it can't attach, I'd use lighter earthy colors in the shower (tile). The outside is gorgeous too! Also, I'm curious about emissions/gases that might've been used in the processing of the OSB panels... wonder if they found one that was not harmful?

I love everything else but the internal walls. I live in the Caribbean so like timber and concrete is always better for us. It looks so easy to destroy the walls. But I love the plan of this home. A very nice simple feeling
“it knew what it wanted to create”? Did the house build itself? Seriously though, I really love this house. Simple, functional and stunning on the outside. The OSB…maybe a bit overdone? Perhaps but everything else is on point. The step down around the bench is a masterstroke in design. Great work HFG.

It was peaceful, natural and not out of place which is always such a testament to the designer to create a structure so at one with its surroundings. Agree, that step down in the kitchen - game changer!
I live in Acton! Massachusetts… Nice house, but I will never learn to like, much less love the chip-board used on the interior. To me, it looks cheap and unfinished. It also makes a dark, confining ceiling. It even looks like it has printing on it, I think that’s what it is, like it was meant to be covered. Apart from that, I DO like it!
This is perfection! But I must admit with all of Australia’s poisonous insects and spiders, think I’d have anxiety with those dark bathroom tiles 🤪😂

The only thing I can foresee if I had that long counter is that it would be a drop off point for lots of “stuff”. I have that problem now with a counter. 😁
I love the wndows and plants and the wild entry courtyard. The floor in the main area is fantastic. The warm color of the OSB is nice, but I don't see how one could clean it or prevent dirt and dust from collecting. And the dark bathroom - cool idea, how can you tell when it should be cleaned? It rather creeps me out and would make me OCD about germs. The wood on the shower floor is nice. This seems like a weekend place or an Air BnB, because there isn't a feeling that people live here. Art and books and some sign of human life.... I'd hire the architect, however. Great eye and sense of light.

Raw looking osb, yuk. Hope they sealed it , to prevent off- gasing. Osb painted black is nice.
I love plants and open plan and having a multipurpose island or peninsula, but I'd be worried about accessibility especially with that step down into the kitchen.
one question, is it ok, to use OSB on interior inner walls, is it a little bit toxic?
