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.

yeah.. timber and trees tend to blend in 🤗
THIS is absolutely gorgeous. One of my favorite homes yet.
This is ridiculously gorgeous. There are so many elements & themes from this house that I so love.
Mad props to the videographer. Beautiful shots. And the clip where the fire reflection in the glass was perfectly overlayed with the unlit fireplace outside 👏👏
It seems I'll be back watching this video plenty of times. What a great job she made! Every window of the house seems like a different picture of a peaceful paradise. So beautiful! Big windows, frameless or with the biggest glass possible... just like I'd wanted. Again, such a good taste!
Looks simple yet very detailed and complex . Looks like it was very well planned out . Love it . I would feel like a child going into the trees and nature to play . sense of peace and comfort . The materials used , the colors , the location , the lighting love it .
Mind bogglingly beautiful-both the “shack” and the building site. I especially love the finish on the white concrete. It gives such a softness and warmth to what could otherwise be a hard, cold surface.
What I love about the house is it doesn't overpower its environment. It' just...there, humbly blending in and not serving as a distraction. It's just a house... a resting place in a quiet environment.
I love tiny houses but this extra space and comfort would be the dream to live in. Gorgeous!
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.

Thank you for your eloquence in expressing my thoughts.
I like the idea of Fold up Beds. It's a very good idea being able to use rooms for more than one purpose.
An exceptionally complimentary use of wood and concrete (which was beautifully poured.)
This is gorgeous. The dark wood and white concrete kitchen is dreamy
Stunning simplicity interweaving with nature. Amazing project!
I hear Gillian Anderson when watching this video. It's very soothing to hear about the house and remind me of some of GA work for shows where she is serious like The Fall.
Amazing design and execution . Great place for living in peace and tranquillity .
Between Never too small and this channel I’m spoilt for choice of amazing architects when I have the opportunity to build.
10/10 Must be unbelievably relaxing in there. Stunning. And beautifully shot.
What a delightful house, such fantastic perfect architecture. I have never seen such a beautiful house that blends in with nature. I'm speechless, great work 🙏 Thanks for sharing...
fantastic house. not too big, healthy, natural home, practical, blends into the environment. especially valuable. one of the best in the world.
you're one of the best channels i've ever found on youtube, many thanks for the inspiration you've been creating!
Very excited to see this one - can't wait!!
This a perfect example of adapting to your landscape and surrounds - well done
To the production team: Music is important but should never overpower the narrator/speaker.

Superb! Elegant simplicity ! Enjoy many wonderful years in your "cabin"
These are my favourite types of houses .. compact and nature oriented and away from everyone
Fantastic home. My favorite feature is the huge skylight over the shower -- like showering outdoors without any of the downsides.
This is so beautiful! It's so conscious and so close to nature and to what a human need
Love the road and flora. Home sits well in its environment.
I like that the tall trees seems to ‘hug’ the shack. It’s definitely a great home to be in to have a respite from the city life.

Until a fire sweeps through and burns the wooden cladding.
I designed a house very similar to this floor plan. In some of the shots, like this one 4:36 it is identical. Big sliding windows, open kitchen to dining, to living. Amazing. Even the bedroom window and dimensions are practically the same and located in the exact place.
Stunning in every single way! Reminds me a bit of the VIPP Shelter house
The video has not yet started but comments flow, thats how nice the house looks from the still image.
The methodology, activities to build this dwelling is impressive.
Wow, absolutely gorgeous!!
i didnt see how the main door could block rain water flow into the house. Thanks for the video. I really love the work of art 👍
There are subtitles to help you understand what the video is about. This channel is very popular among architecture students in Japan. Thanks for the informative video.
I like especially the white concrete kitchen island bench- it contrasts very well against the large amount of timber inside and out. Seeing the structure’s footprint from above, I had assumed it was rectangular in form. It sits in it’s landscape lightly.
I'm curious about the off grid features of the cabin, which aren't really described in the film - how is electricity generated, where does the water come from, what happens to waste water, how is hot water heated?

I don't think it really is off-grid. There are no solar panels etc. Probably clickbait

@@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.
I'm in love with this architect designs
This house is eerie to me. Freaks me out. I would prefer a 4 room log cabin /w attic to this.
Very beautiful house, very nicely done!
I love the exterior and the shower sky light!
Thank u for uploading new video...really looking forward always
This is a beautiful Cabin… well done 👍
Second time in a row I am hearing The favourite part of the house is *what is outside of it*
This channel is such perfection. What a gorgeous video
Camera movements & editing is top notch
That white concrete is *chef's kiss*
Ridiculously gorgeous!
I really appreciate the cinematography
Beautiful!
Stunning home!
Absolutely love this home, wonderful video! We’ve just started a similar show in Ireland!
absolutely love the concrete kitchen island
beautifully themed and planned
Most awesome "Shack" I've ever seen!
Killora BAE 😍😍😍
Beeindruckend! Das wäre sogar eine Alternative zu unserem Leben auf unserem Schiff in der Bretagne.
최근 본영상중에 최고네요... 저런 집짖고 싶네
I just love it !
3:51 WOAH THAT WAS ON THE BEAT
I love it already 😍
What a vibe 😍
great video, great design and great description!
so beautiful!
that light fixture is absolutely gorgeous. the way it moves and animates the shadows is memorizing! can anyone tell us who makes it?
Looks great. Would be cool to see how it remains off the grid.
OMG! Love it!
Wow, just wow!
wow this is stunning
Beautiful place. It would amazing as a cottage. I don't think I can live there for an extended time though. I'd get too bored.
This looks like an absolute dream - when can i move in?
Love it! Especially because you can be inside the house but still feel like you are half outside and living in the nature :D

The classiest middle finger to socializing.🔥
I can only imagine what's it's like living here. That feeling of everything being north of you, and nothing south of you. One probably cherishes the small things much much more. I live in NYC, so anything I want is at my fingertips. Not in a place like this. And I dream of having that kind of life.
Stunning 🌈🌳
Looks beautiful

Splendid!

Very beautiful! I would like to see more details on the specs of the home, details on construction and cost of it though.
Super Dope !
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…
Sensational.
