This off-grid cabin is an escape from the high stress of our client’s busy work life. Born in Taiwan, the owner spent their childhood in traditional Japanese houses (built during occupation). Out of this grew a love for highly crafted minimalist design. The brief was to capture that and design a building as a piece of furniture with everything needed built in. The only furniture allowed was a low table and mattress on the sleeping loft.
With long views to the south and tall trees to the north, the cabin opens onto an east and west deck, capturing morning and afternoon sun while affording views to the south. A high roof allowed solar panels and a skylight to catch sun from over the trees.
Open: Sunday 10 November 2024, 10am – 3pm (registration required)
Access: Please be aware that access to this property is via a rough road only. Cars require a good ground clearance and/or 4WD. Alternatively, please enjoy the gentle 2km walk.
Address: 134 Musketts Road, Alonnah, TAS
