Best video I've seen on this channel. No "materiality" in sight nor affected ASMR narrations... what a refreshing change. Loved viewing this holiday retreat and hearing the architect's down to earth description.

[@jamiepudwell2667]

Exactly.

[@jamiepudwell2667]

Who started that trend of talking like that anyways?

[@beefyogurt]

What an other-worldly getaway location to build a cozy little shelter. I'm happy for the owners and anyone who might get to experience something like this in their future.

[@kayelyward8714]

The home is a Refuge. It is nestled so beautifully in the foliage of the landscape. The interior design has a lovely simplicity or minimalism which doesn't compete with the external view. It's such a beautiful home! Bravo!

[@modman1907]

Sublimely gorgeous work, beautifully presented and filmed. 🙌🏼

[@rikib9132]

Excellent from conception to completion and dealing with construction logistics, enjoy Thanks for sharing 🇦🇺

[@SimonStJohn]

Amazing. But what about the building behind it....WOW. Wish that was covered.

[@andrew4809]

This is by far the best most stunning property ever featured keep up the good work

[@huangalice2093]

Simple but amazing!

[@56robots]

perfect in every way

[@canadude6401]

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]

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.

[@mrvk39]

This cabin gave off a very Japanese vibe to me, with all that timber and the circular hood and the window frame.

[@karinamaissin7890]

Stunning elegant build. Simple but also beautiful. Very talented architect 💯🔥

[@TheLocalProject]

Glad you like it!

[@alexandrafontaine8111]

sublime 🙌🏻💁🏻‍♀️🇨🇦

[@darien33]

Hermoso lugar para vaciar de lo superfluo y llenar el alma

[@gracesmail1900]

Incredibly resolved design. I'm surprised he did not talk about the use of stained plywood throughout being such a massive material feature.

[@Stop4MotionMakr]

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.

[@DanMolinaStudio]

Damon, really? The best one?

[@loun9611]

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.

[@belleringr6377]

Wow beautiful!

[@lililemieux]

delightful, 🖤.

[@Artix13]

Incredible. Beautiful, unique and so peaceful.

[@ivanaamaya7469]

PRECIOSA CABAÑA

[@nale3333]

so pretty

[@MrAlfiew]

wow that interior is wild, great craftsmanship

[@truthsurfer6062]

We love this so much…great job

[@alexandrastratanphotographer]

what a beauty

[@ertanuca5463]

Bravo!

[@arroyomaximiliano759]

Beautiful design, like

[@ArchitetturaUrbana]

wow! it's really that interesting. We too would like to find a house like this to interview. These log cabins should be more popular for the collective welfare.

[@neverspreadjamonabadjer8459]

Collective welfare ...lol. What next? The redistribution of wealth?

[@singularseeker]

Exquisite.....If only I had the money...

[@JohnFNagle]

Stunning

[@andrewralte4844]

Excuse me for a moment I need to build a shack. Best one ever.

[@OrendaDesignStudio]

Cool 😍😍😍.

[@Aquachick65]

Where in Australia? Looks like around Brooklyn?

[@leetouzeau3764]

Is it flood proof? Looks pretty close to river...very beautiful that it was hand built.

[@vicentearellano6075]

🥺🙏 hermoso gracias!

[@socalstr]

I’d love to know more about electric, water, gas, and sewer services to make this thing possible. Or… more likely… not possible.

[@Hackbarthja]

But what was that awesome piece of music at 5:24!?😮

[@remihotdog4074]

Yes i wanna know too!

[@Idolikethis]

THIS WAS SHOT WAYYYY TOO ARTFULLY LMFAO I was zoning out and missing what the place even looks like and going back now. I still dont know

[@duketorrente6559]

it's nice, but i'm seeing a lot of issues on this project

[@Oceansta]

care to elaborate?

[@J3an_j3an]

It’s beautiful but wouldn’t all that wood get mouldy here in Australia?

[@ivanklymenko]

😍😍😍

[@EugeneBuvard]

At first, I thought it was Ticino 😂

[@sahabshraddha8453]

❤️

[@tadorsa]

❤

[@lornepeterson777]

Absolutely beautiful but like most of these videos you can’t get an overall view of what’s going on in the interior space. Plenty of details but where are we in relation to the whole. One more view of the roof please, NOT.

[@Rayanmiah6940]

It looks like a Modern church

[@davidsummers4820]

At 5:00 did he say his house is located in the middle of a national park? WTF? Why/ how is this dude building a house in a national park?

[@ginosalihbegovic7137]

Isn’t the entire world a national park ? Nature is everywhere doesn’t hinder people from destroying it.

[@bliznuk1]

❤💖🇺🇦

[@SaysSim0n]

Looks good but this project has multiple elements going that dont work in practice. This Architect build a low key deathtrap ^^

[@else5393]

people are so different .. i truly don't get some enthusiastic comments here .. sure nice home but in the middle of nowhere how is this sustainable but whatevr

[@haret0n]

nothing comfortable there. it's a holiday home for masochists.

[@Renee-vz3cx]

Needs some cushions or something else soft my bum and back are hurting just watching it lol

[@littlenest]

Oh what a joy it must be to be able to disconnect from everything and retreat to this beautiful remote shack nestled amongst the trees with calming water views! ♥️

[@studiovoxlux]

Love this holiday house, it's a stunning mix of Japanese and Scandinavian style! I can imagine the stress just melting away when you step on the jetty.

[@carlosrc4145]

the level of craftmanship and details are overwhelming!!! one of the best houses i've ever seen in your videos! thank you!

[@bryansacal1074]

Putting this up as one of my faves!

[@colinsandlin8575]

What do you coat all of the plywood inside with so that it's protected and yet not full of chemicals?

[@canadude6401]

I believe there are some oils or waxes available that are eco-friendly.

[@BeeeYanKA]

This cabin made me smile the whole time! 😍

[@Swagg3r3d]

just, wow, what a place

[@tita_fudo]

thank you, you inspire my renovations

[@catemoon]

Beautiful space, although I can’t imagine what the wood countertop with an open stove is going to look like in a short while. And, seeing so many Australian project with indoor/outdoor space, and wondering if there are no bugs there? Also, curious, but is the house attached to bedrock?

[@DanMolinaStudio]

Very good point!

[@DanMolinaStudio]

I dig the dreamy exterior shots.

[@72sarah72ful]

Tellement beau

[@royvanzyl1253]

Wow! perfect cabin in a perfect location.

[@research1747]

Don’t drink to much while your cooking you may end up in the river !

[@pasanchandraweera3175]

Have wondered about this house for so long now, only seeing the exterior. Had no idea of the jewels inside...

[@clubsobri]

Not my cup of tea. But to each, tehir own :)

[@batubop651]

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 😉

[@Kennethf88]

Magnifique!

[@scxobtier]

❤❤❤❤

[@SJR_Media_Group]

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.

[@sheikhen6503]

Nordmenn? "Da hopper vi bare utti!" 6:00

[@AG-lu3ew]

Very cool

[@pastorprosecco6429]

😍

[@ericnolis]

Hello!!! this is one of my favorite youtube channel ever!!! I need to know who is in charge of this awesome videos and which cameras they have been using. That's an insane work

[@afjkarey5366]

where does the shit go?

[@lucasgauci]

septic tanks and onsite treatment

[@DanMolinaStudio]

😂😂😂

[@picozzimichele]

One of the best/most relaxing places i have seen on this channel, beautiful

[@sergioianni5349]

Hi, do you believe this house could be put on a truck and moved to another location if there were a road nearby? I want something like this but if I need to move it I'd do it. TIA

[@johncitizen8828]

Fantastic. Would have loved to have seen a floor plan, too.

[@Oceansta]

where does the drinking water come from?

[@julieuk5855]

Simply beautiful.x

[@EgorSolovjev]

молодец

[@galihwangiputri7294]

Wow all used Jati tree. That must be really expensive

[@else5393]

simple decadence good for them

[@N15-b2i]

Amazing

[@huntychunks]

beautiful.

[@paranoidhumanoid]

The shack has the simplicity and sanctity of a Buddhist temple. Breathtaking.

[@PDogB]

This extra special space looks so calming and comforting! Thank you for sharing.

[@tanyaleef5138]

Very special house blends into nature

[@ozodakholmatova4040]

wow.. it's really a masterpiece i love it so much

[@Rawi888]

Now this... this is the house.

[@vonnykintore]

incredible!

[@tanorbonin9509]

Stunning

[@nicolakestel-lifestyleceo4040]

Such warmth and coziness amidst the simplicity and angularity. Stunning and brilliant design 🤍

[@DZ60]

Beautiful location but the all timber interior is horrible
