Inside a Secluded Island Cabin On The Edge of a Cliff (Cabin Tour)

[@TheLocalProject]

We hope you enjoyed the incredible journey through The Folly by Cheshire Architects! This serene cabin retreat nestled on a clifftop in Takapuna, New Zealand, is a true testament to the art of tranquillity and repose.

A great marriage of modern architecture and rustic interior design!

[@haydncole5700]

Chesire Architects are truly advancing the art form. Magnificent addition to their already remarkable portfolio.

[@TheLocalProject]

They truly are an incredibly talented team - we're honoured to be able to feature their work. ❤

[@mrvk39]

It's such a perfect space - rustic, and small, but because it's so open, it doesn't feel that small. I love how rustic walls and floors and combined with modern floor-to-ceiling windows. It's not clashing! And that wall-through fireplace is perfect. I also loved that murphy bed hidden in one of the walls.

A small, perfect cabin captured in a perfectly executed video: architect's insights, music, all of it.

The David Attenborough equivalent for architecture and design. Perfect narration through this video

[@laverite1050]

The use of materials is perfect and takes this structure to another level.. The landscaping and that large tree that reaches out to the cabin is amazing. Truly the stars lined up for this project.

[@TheLocalProject]

We couldn't agree more!

[@Minimalism225]

Such a gorgeous piece of land. Rather than taking away the beauty of the landscape, the cabin compliments it with the simplicity and wood finishes. The radiance and coziness of this cabin is so nice and the cliffside views make it a wonderful area. Thank you Local Project for this presentation and sharing this cabin with us!

[@TheLocalProject]

The pleasure is all ours!

[@robertrusso877]

Gorgeous cabin! Love the all-wood interior and other humble materials. Goes to show you don’t need high end materials to create luxury - just great design. Also, it’s nice to hear an architect talk about collaboration for once. Seem like a very humble man. One of my favorite builds on this channel now.

[@susannahallanic1167]

What lovely light! It seems as if every plant of the exterior down to the every blade of grass glows with an inner light. If there is a heaven this must be what it looks like. The house seems to rise up and be a back stage for it all. Absolutely coveted and adored. Thank you for sharing this pure bliss..

[@PiefacePete46]

New Zealanders have lovingly referred to their country as "Godzone" (God's own) down through the generations... that light quality is part of the reason.

[@jtuck682]

The design of the cabin is impeccable! Additionally, it's hard to recall a project more beautifully landscaped.

[@TheSushmaHomeSellingTeam]

I can't even say a thing. This is one of the best design and location I've ever seen here. 😍😍

[@TheLocalProject]

We agree!

[@robthewaywardwoodworker9956]

What an excellent effort in simplicity and function. There is so much more to this modest building than meets the eye. Great work, to both designer and builder.

Wow what a setting! Hope they know how good they have it.

[@JamieC113]

Takes my breath away - new favorite house tour on KZbin! I can just imagine being cozied up here with a cup of tea, watching a thick storm roll in over the water and feeling so content. Beautiful work.

[@fightington]

The landscape with the pohutukawas, low planting and the lawn is heaven

[@ovejanegra7355]

Truly beautiful. What I liked the most is the fact it's rather small, which means it can be maintained by only one person. The size and the extensive use of wood also makes it extremely cozy. It's also interesting the placement of the fireplace. I'd love to know how efficient is to warm the inside of the house considering it also projects a lot of heat toward the exterior. The placement of the cabin is also perfect. What a stunning view!

[@PiefacePete46]

The climate at this part of New Zealand, near Auckland, is quite moderate, so the heating demands in a building this size would not be too great.

[@lesliewhite3233]

Wow, I wouldn’t need the main house. Just that small space would be perfect and what a view.

[@mr.awaishyt1187]

The local project videos heals my soul.

[@DZ60]

Simple and beautiful

[@althe]

Industrial colors, surfaces, and materials I do not automatically go for - they seem first-year architecture style, trite and obvious - but it all looks perfect here. The richness of rusted steel, flat texture, coffee color, and angular black, elevate the interior wood. Complexity would be out of place.

I think estate agents do a better job of filming properties. They aren't afraid to do walk-throughs and give a real sense of the space. This is more like photography.

I would much rather hear about the design concept accompanied by the slow moving camera. There is a lot to see here.

Most people have far too little money while a few have far too much.

[@PeteCole262]

“Managed revelation.” “Considered luxury”. “Bespoke” If these terms apply to your life, money is NOT an issue. 😂

[@ginosalihbegovic7137]

Maybe such people don’t focus on money since money is only a tool to built such things , it can never be the goal but anyone having money as a goal in life is truly poor no matter the amount of money they have. Life is not about money and such people don’t waste their life chasing it. Focus on what you want to creat and simply use money as a tool for it but don’t focus on money. Imagine a dream don’t excuse it for the lack of money. Focus on the dream and money will guide you there , like a companion not as a leader of you. You lead money not the way around. Don’t believe what society indoctrinated into yourself it’s not how life functions it’s merely a designed alternative reality in a world in where you can creat your own reality. Please don’t adopt the reality of others due to a lack of self respect and love it won’t benefit you.

Beautiful architecture and interior design! Such a pitty with all that wasted greenspace. The rest of the landscaping was nice, but lawns are lifeless spaces with a terrible impact on biodiversity, too bad they're so popular.

[@MrSchn3ll]

I got my degree in Architecture but chose not to practice, mainly for the money but also because all architects are such pretentious bullshit artists. They all try to look the same (glasses, black shirts / turtlenecks, pop of color like red somewhere on their person) and all talk the same. I just wish there was one architect out there who would be honest and say "I did this because it looked cool to me". Instead, they are sniffing their own farts from a champagne glass non-stop.
