Inside A Hidden Eco-Friendly Timber Cabin: A Swiss Architect’s Masterpiece (House Tour)

  • Only reachable by boat, Marra Marra Shack by Leopold Banchini Architects is a hidden eco-friendly timber cabin that embraces a quiet lifestyle removed from the bustle of city living. As Leopold Banchini Architects’s first Australian project, the hidden eco-friendly timber cabin required only two bedrooms, easy living spaces and a connection to landscape. Using the occasion to discover the Australian landscape, the Swiss architect has used the unique crafts only available in this country. The entire building has been completed by two carpenters and using materials that required no heavy machinery. Additionally, each chosen material responds directly to the complexity of weather, tides and floods experienced in the unique riverside location.
    Sitting on a slope, the hidden eco-friendly timber cabin welcomes guests with an awe-inspiring reveal upon arrival at the renovated jetty. After walking up the stairs the house tour begins at the entrance to the main living spaces, which includes the living room, dining area and kitchen. Located to the rear of the shack are two smaller bedrooms with bathrooms, both of which have been designed to offer solitude where the owners can enjoy their own space. Finished with a large window that overlooks the river, the living room gives the impression that the home sits upon the water instead of above. By using counterweights, the opened window turns the living space into an inside and outside deck, allowing a deeper connection to the wider surrounds.
    The interior of the hidden eco-friendly timber cabin has been imbued with locally sourced timbers, including iron bark that is used for the pillars that hold the home together. Other elements within the home, including the stairs and flooring, are made from turpentine wood from the old jetty, while spotted gum forms the structural beams along the roof of the cabin. Additionally, the furniture of the home has been designed specifically for Marra Marra Shack by using leftover wood from the construction. Other elements in the home, including the fireplace, sink and all steel elements, have been custom made to resolve the few needs of the owners while staying in the house.
    Being in the middle of an Australian national park, the architect had to respond to certain elemental outcomes including floods, fire and tide heights. Built up on a slope to respond to the conditions, the exterior of the home has also been covered in fibre cement and plaster board to address fire safety in the warmer months. While the exterior of the hidden eco-friendly timber cabin appears to be made of other materials, it is evident when entering the home that the interior is entirely made of timber. Elevated and surrounded by trees, Marra Marra Shack does not transform the landscape but becomes one with it.

    This is hands down one of the best project I've seen on this channel. What an incredible retreat to just pare back all the non-essentials of modern life and to regain the space to just think and live.

    This is what it means to completely strip down to the essentials. No excess, no drama, no $8,000 sofas.
    Just a quaint home to walk around bare feet or sandals, connect with nature and forget about our struggles.
    If I visited there, I wouldn't want to leave.

    • @johncitizen8828
      @johncitizen8828 11 месяцев назад

      All that said, the inclusion of some sort of sofa, or more comfortable seating would not be a bad idea. Something you could fall asleep on while looking out onto the water on a lazy afternoon would be bliss.

    Structure is anchored to the ground, yet floats. It's footprint is non-obtrusive, yet looks sound. Inside and outside spaces flow nicely. You can't put a price on the view. Designing it to live in yourself allows experimentation. We grow as designers when we dream big.

    Wow wow I really liked this shack. Especially appreciated the work that two carpenters could do. The minimalistic design fit perfectly in the location. Built my own home without power so fully understand the workmanship. Wood is so warm and comforting. Too bad the outside could not be wood or at least wood color, it would blend in more.

    Beautiful design, like a cinema viewing area with the nature as the screen. Very Japanese yet fits perfectly into the Australian landscape. Though, as an Australian, I must admit I spent the first 5 mins feeling highly anxious about what a fire hazard it must be and wondering how it was ever allowed! Great solution with the cladding! I felt a nod to Hanging Rock with the music choice, beautiful 😉
