Inside An Ultra Modern Tiny Eco Home That Sits In the Tree Tops (House Tour)

The Cabin by Johnstone Callaghan Architects is a tiny eco home located in Abel Tasman National Park, on the South Island of New Zealand. Connected to nature and surrounded by wildlife, the tiny eco home is one of four privately held properties that is reachable only by boat or a walking track. As The Cabin is positioned among the trees, the architects limited tree cutting as much as possible so the owners could help regenerate the land. Additionally, due to the remote nature of the property, the owners have been given the rare opportunity to live amid nature itself.
When arriving at the site of the tiny eco home, the house tour begins at the bottom of the property. The house tour then takes you up a winding staircase that bypasses nature, so one is continuously connected to the natural surrounds. In the main living space of the tiny eco home, there is a kitchen with warm timber tones that complements the interior design, which is then contrasted by the dark timber tones found in the main bedroom. The remainder of the home leads out to the deck area, where a concrete bunker houses a sunken outdoor toilet. On the right side of The Cabin is a perched outdoor shower, allowing the owners to completely embrace outdoor living among the treetops.
Designed to be deceptively simple in structure, The Cabin is 37 square metres and features considered interior design and architectural moments. Furthermore, every curated element within the tiny eco home was designed to work in harmony with each other. Working with the clients to create bespoke design choices in the tiny echo home, Johnstone Callaghan Architects incorporates unique manual systems to open the property up further - through a custom pulley system that operates the external shutters. Johnstone Callaghan Architects has designed a cabin that disappears into the bush and allows the owners to feel connected to nature at all times and from every room in the tiny eco home.

The contrast of the lighter materials vs the rugged darker materials is so well done, it makes the transition from the outside into the house very noteworthy. Another lovely local project! ♥

A lovely take on the cabin in the woods - i like how views were framed by large windows and how mechanical and rustic those shutters looked. I also like that all-wood kitchen - has some Japanese vibes to it. I only wished that the house sat high enough to get more of those spectacular views of the bay - it's truly magical and pristine (imagine being only 1 of 4 houses to have that bay to yourself?). But, i guess the topography didn't allow it but a nice roof deck with those views makes up for it.

Beautifully made and great to feature a small project! Still, it’s questionable how can it be ‘eco’ when there’s so much unnecessary embodied carbon (the toilet in a concrete bunker and so much is steel)!

They seem to prioritize the design and views over bird safety. Actions speak louder than words, and in this case, it appears the design values aesthetics more than the well-being of the local wildlife.

@mrvk39 8 ай бұрын

they have shutters on those windows. When they don't use that cabin, they will close them. and why would birds strike them any more than any other windows in any other house? It's not like they have these huge through-house windows that confuse the birds.

@mrvk39 8 ай бұрын

@@sa34w they shutters on windows and they can simply clean windows if there is a need. Not like you need to demolish the house if a bird poops on it. With steel and treated wood, this house would last far longer than a typical suburban home.

is this home designed to be lifeless? - its not very different from that prison in Greenland, I believe a child would suffer mentally in a place like this, also there is no identity of the individual who resides in the home - all I see is that you can create something a machine is only limited to create

@bridgetmonro8485 16 күн бұрын

It's not a home, they don't live there, it's a holiday cabin/hut. It's perfectly designed for its location - a NZ national park. It's meant to be minimal like the basic DOC huts we have that are a treasured part of kiwi culture, just with more luxury materials. The focus is on being outside and the landscape, not on accommodation with all the frills. A prison is the last thing it is. It's beautiful.
