Amazing Architecturally-Designed Skylark Cabin Airbnb

We are excited to once again partner with Airbnb to bring you the tour of this stunning Airbnb cabin in New Zealand! If you think you might be interested in becoming an Airbnb host yourself, you can find out more here: airbnb.vaz6fn.net/LivingBig2 ​ (Disclaimer: We earn a small commission when people we refer start hosting on Airbnb.)
In this weeks episode we meet Garry, who has constructed a spectacular, architecturally designed cabin in Twizel, New Zealand. This cabin was designed in collaboration between Garry and his architect, Barry Connor.
This cabin is absolutely loaded with brilliant design. From the striking exterior designed to nestle the home into the landscape, through to the stunning cozy interior with wonderful windows that perfectly frame the exterior environment. This cabin is unquestionably home to some truly great design.
Garry lives in the home part time, but also rents his home out on Airbnb. Becoming an Airbnb host has enabled him to share this very special architecturally designed space with others.
You can book your stay in the Skylark Cabin here: www.airbnb.co.nz/rooms/47771464

Now this is a cabin! We absolutely loved our stay here. The landscape is so dramatic and the Skylark Cabin is perfectly designed to take full advantage of the wonderful views. That hot tub under the stars really is something very special! Rasa and I had a really great time filming this place, especially branching out to experiment with some astrophotography too! We hope you enjoy the episode! With Love, Bryce & Rasa

I’ve really enjoyed your episodes filmed in NZ during the pandemic. It’s been so depressing here in America. Your channel has been a nice escape.

[@livingbig]

Thanks so much. We know that it's been a really difficult time for a lot of people all over the world. We feel very blessed to be based in New Zealand where we have not been affected as badly. Wishing you all the best!

[@joaospencer4854]

As an architecture student, it is all about speech, like a poem for the buildings, like selling an idea and make it beautifull, of course you cant forget the quality of the building, but is mainly speech

I love how the shape of the house feels so informed by the shape of the mountains. The whole home is such a beautiful reflection of the nature that surrounds it! So thoughtfully and intentionally done

[@polyvalent603]

As a Kiwi (happily) living in Australia... the strong visual impact of my mother country’s rugged landscape serve to remind me how beautiful the South Island is and how I miss that daily rugged beauty. And what a beautiful house and the night sky is without a doubt immense and wonderful.... serving to remind us that we human’s represent just an infinitely small speck in the cosmos.

Hey Bryce... I am a follower from India... :) Now with this pandemic and everything going on, it's very refreshing to see your content with the stunning tiny houses, amazing landscapes of New Zealand and your absolutely pleasant and enthusiastic presentation. Also, the videography is top-notch. Even though tiny houses are almost non-existent in India, this channel and many other programs like tiny house nation have encouraged me to rethink my priorities and completely revolutionised my idea of a perfect home... !! Even though I have been following you for a very long time, this is the first time I am commenting here because with this pandemic and everything, things just look so bleak and this channel gives me hope and positivity that's important to keep myself going in these tough times. Thank you for these lovely videos. Please keep posting 🙂
