Inside The World’s Most Remote Cabin (House Tour)
Ойын-сауық
Creating a place for people to reconnect with each other and nature, Patterson Associates built a cabin that sits upon the New Zealand landscape with advantageous coastal views. Located on a working sheep and cattle farm on the Banks Peninsula, Scrubby Bay is extremely remote. The cabin home is architectural in its design and faces straight into the sub-Antarctic weather that comes in from the bay and down the mountains. Moreso, due to the home’s location, there is a wide variety of wildlife, including an array of birds, dolphins and whales.
Faced with the decision of what to design and how to design it, the architect was drawn to building a residence that responded to the site. Moreover, seen in the house tour of the cabin is the bay, which tends to be covered in driftwood. This helped influence the architect on choosing the unique materials and timber for the project.
Designed to age and get better with time, Scrubby Bay is laid out as two simple gabled barn forms that are slotted together. Specifically arranged for families or large groups renting off Airbnb, the house can accommodate up to 16 people and encourages them to come together and experience the natural landscape. Three main bedrooms have been created for the adults and spread throughout the gabled form of the home. Additionally, seen in the house tour, at each side of the home are two gathering areas, one being an entertainment deck facing the ocean and the other is a pool facing the rear mountains. As the cabin tour progresses, the middle of the home is revealed, where a living space has been placed as a central gathering spot. The home also offers unparalleled views from the rear mountains and out to the ocean making for a picturesque Airbnb stay.
Due to the home’s farm location, as well as being out in the open to face the harsh elements of the bay, the house needed to be robust. The cabin also had to feel good for people to walk around in gumboots should they need. Moreover, the home’s materials had to be shipped in via small trucks from Christchurch, the nearest city, and construction of the home was stopped and restarted due to the weather, sheep season and the remote location. Using materials that were found around the farm, the architect built the house out of timber, including driftwood employed throughout the interior design of the home. The centrepiece of the main living space is a stone fireplace - built from rocks found at the nearby remote rock quarry - that separates living, dining and kitchen spaces. The interior design of the home features many bespoke elements including decor, fabrics and lighting. Intrinsically placed upon the landscape as if it is a part of it, Scrubby Bay is more than just a uniquely remote place to stay but a place to connect to the coastal landscape and with each other.

wow! i love the smell of micrakapa. this property is jaw dropping.
Cool house, couldn't help notice I was staring at a couple steel lintels as the architect was talking about using embodied carbon (timber) to form the enclosure.
The sound design has a lot of subtle, nice touches
I was gonna say this looks like picturesque nz and it is… SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL! straight out of a dream
Magnificent, very fitting for the harsh environment and surrounds.
Simply sublime architecture, simple forms and humble materials. The location feels so exclusive, secluded and still in the open.The cinematography behind the documenting of this project is so immersive, capturing a magnificent sense of place. I felt like I was hovering over the whale in the ocean, walking the footpaths, climbing the hillsides, foraging through the shrubs, racing the cows and shepherding sheep. This was a sweet nostalgia, beautifully captured.

You could live in a simple shack in this locale, and it would be breathtaking. The house is fine, but the scenery is the show-stopper. And the pool does not work for this property; it is tasteless. The cinematographer did an amazing job.

Great scenery, buildings and builder with charismatic storytelling. The landscape is a masterpiece.
Patterson is the best!
Beautiful cinematography!
All I can think about is a stormy king tide washing that place away! Or a massive rain event flooding the plain! I'm sure it was built so that won't happen. But I'm biting my nails. While timber is great, I think where the location is the exterior is going to need some maintenance in about 10-15 years lol
The idea of a barn house is truly represented 😊
This is my favourite place on earth. House ain't bad either 😉
now that looks like a dream location for a cabin🤩

Hi, I'm a local and while I haven't been to this bay (around an hour's drive from the station (ranch) head on very precarious 4x4 track (there are no safety barriers, you don't turn when you should and you're going 50-80 metres down a step bank into the ocean), I have been on the property (Annandale is the place). This is the on the east coast of the South Island on a peninsula. The next piece of landmass going east is Chile -10,000km away. The strong ocean winds, cold and powerful water (no exactly the nicest to swim in), and the fact the NZ weather is infamous for having "4 seasons in one day", you get a very strong, very harsh, ever changing, weather system that is constantly battering the coast line. Cold stormy weather, known as a 'Southerly' is the winds and strong weather coming up from Antarctica. Antarctica - that freezing cold place. Yeah, brutal. I have been on this property on lovely calm spring days, I have also been here on days when mother nature wants to show you what she has up here sleeve - I did not want to be outside longer than I had to! Wind chilling my bones, rain going sideways and somehow upwards?! Very brutal. They got their imagery on a good day - there are a few of those, but I wouldn't count on having a full weeks worth of it.

I’m curious as to where the power for this home is? With so many natural resources available, wind, sun, and ocean currents.
Impressive landscape, building does not lend itself to harsh weather...expensive😮
APPLAUD APPLAUD APPLAUD THE CROUD GOES WILD. Only if the sheeps 0:28 didn't move at all, would've looked like a still life lol Yall did so great on this video. It looks like a movie made by Michelangelo. Edit: On a real note, this gave me actual goosebumps, the sort of synth elements of music overlapping with this feeling of "this feels to real esc". The piano undertones hit when they needed to. The deep setting voice over -Andrew did so well- the attitude, the stopping between thoughts. The elements and color scheme never supprised me like "oh that doesn't fit it". From 3:00 it felt like you were sharing a statement and a story and moving straight onto the layout of the home to the camera of Andrew Patterson felt so real, I have to applaud. I had to share this video with my dad you guys did so great.
Absolutely stunning building beautiful architecture by one of my favourite architects.

Can't help seeing the influence of the Marie Short house in this project. Beautiful 👌❤️ The location is stunning.
This is what a dream is supposed to look like.
Absolutely phenomenal.
That coastal flat land between two mountains is flat for a reason: it’s a flood plain. Hope that NZ has a good tsunami warning system.
The dedication and determination to build on remote and seasonally unforgiving terrain really goes to show just much the owners cherish the tranquility away from the perturbance of neighbours.
It would appear that there is a transmitter/receiver tower on the immediate hill next to the home?
Spectacular house, camera work and commentary. House is very practical, serene and remote... so you can connect to self and nature. Fantastic project.
Stunning!
