Inside A Hidden Eco/Friendly Timber Cabin: A Swiss Architect’s Masterpiece

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.
