How to Build an Off Grid Cabin at the Top of a Mountain (Cabin Tour)

- Designer Robbie Walker builds an off grid cabin in the form of Mansfield House. Robbie Walker has designed a home for his family that is both considered and sustainable. The house is situated on a rocky terrain, perched atop a natural flat plane. It was important that the long rectangular structure - which was crafted using raw steel, concrete, plywood and glass - blended in with its surrounding natural environment.
Inspired to connect with the views of the landscape beyond, Mansfield House is half bunker, half glass box. As a designer building an off grid cabin, Robbie had to ensure that the home was durable, with the ability to utilise solar energy and withstand the surrounding climatic conditions. The entrance courtyard and garage both face west where the weather hits the home the hardest, whilst the home itself is encased with a modern interpretation of a traditional Australian verandah. Screens along the home can be adjusted to suit different needs - heating or cooling - simultaneously blending into the environment, providing shelter from the wind and consuming as much solar heat gain as possible.
To champion sustainability and deepen relationships with the environment, and as a designer building an off grid cabin, Robbie has produced a home of lasting resonance - strong yet delicate, poised yet prepared. The architecture was designed around minimal wastage of materials, seen in the concrete blocks and plywood used sustainably throughout the interior. The materiality of the house is rugged, tough and long lasting, feeding into its natural landscape.
As a designer building an off grid cabin, Robbie understood that the isolated conditions of the site meant that the thermal mass needed to play a large role within the home’s design, needing the ability to store heat or cool the interior with ease. The home is simple in its execution, with every element on show - from the structure all the way down to the pipe work. Inspired by a need to build things that last, designer Robbie Walker builds an off grid cabin, strong enough and powerful enough to endure.

This is what happens when a production is audiovisually in tune; music, visuals and emotions in a collaborative dance. Inspiring.
I think they need more eurobeats that drown the vocal with more aggressive cuts so it's "more dynamic" for more sex appeal XD.
Tell me you're the best architecture channel on TH-cam without telling me you're the best architecture channel on TH-cam 🙌

Amazing architecture good too.
Nah fr ☝️ they killing it
no freekin joke
It’s an interesting study when he noted today’s things aren’t built to last. Yet, we call it progress. Gentleman like this hold the balance, and perhaps will one day tip the scale. Well done.
I agree. Well done indeed.

I still think about how precise the Giza pyramids were build & the fact it's alligned with the constellations tells you they've had advanced astronomical knowledge & other worldly technology
@@blznft9513 So true. I had a quick visit to them 25yrs ago. I remember stepping off the coach & just standing there in awe. After about 10 mins my wife came over and joked “You can shut your mouth now”.
The Flak Towers in Germany were built to last, the Russian Army blasted the tower with there biggest Howitzer's for hours and decided to give up as they were not getting any where or doing any damage. They will outlast the Pyramids.
This house has to be the ultimate in minimalism.
I love everything about this. The design. The isolation. The simple ness. The man hosting. Well done!

Me too!
i like the brass pipes
DITTO, I agree! I'll add: his philosophy, too.
Simplicity makes homes more comfortable sometimes.
This man's design esthetic is next level.
The towel rail has me foaming at the mouth. So cool
what a superb spot for a house. I'm not jealous at all. Not in the slightest.
The build quality appears to be very strong, but also has that delicateness to it that makes it approachable. Thoughtful plumbing and use of water. Love everything about this home!
th-cam.com/video/v2FaiT-JufY/w-d-xo.html
Smart design in every detail is quite readable in this house
I think the plumbing is my challenge i prefer seal conduit pipping nevertherless it's a wonderful project
The shipping container is on Airbnb. Can highly recommend. Robbie even invited me in to see his house but I ran out of time. Glad I got to see it here!
the idea behind this house is so pure thats what makes this so unique

Haha guys like these cause in me this inescapable feeling/thought …”what are you doing with your life?”
Bravo!
Well designed project, congratulations! and for once an architect that talks to the point, without using every 5 seconds architectural buzz words. Love your style mister Walker
I agree with you. I was able to absorb and appreciate more.
That was really noticeable. Thoughtful guy. Sounds like an expert but not a wanker
Best part being he isn’t an architect!
@@steveh3339 but he is
@@steveh3339 Isn't he, though?
hands down this is the best house on this channel bro
The quality of these videos still amazes me
This literally looks like my dream house!
This not just a house this is a dream. I absolutely love that calmness, air and the clarity of all lines. Nothing occasional, everything thought through.
I remember watching a vid about the shipping container dwelling which were being lived in at the time while the ideas were coming together for the house. I absolutely love the location, the concept, design and reality of this home. It's as if it's a living part of this family that will be nurtured and grow *with* generations to come.
This is probably my favorite one from this channel
This is sensible, simple, and beautiful.
A rare combination. Excellent. Thank you.
What an incredibly thoughtfully constructed home. Love the towel rails!
I'm thoroughly impressed. Gorgeous home, so well thought out.
Hats off to you Robbie for a beautiful project. Really inspiring. Thank you
This Home is everything! Well done.
I love that its built to last and it captures the landscape so beautifully
I think I have watched this video four or five times. Simplicity and yet such a unique space. The plywood walls are such a cool look.
The house, the location, everything is so beautiful about it. The minimalist design is amazing, does not strike out too much and yet creates an ambience of completion. Given a chance I would love to live in a place like this.
Timeless design on a killer location 🙏
I love the materials used to build this home because they are simple and yet the design it's so elegant. It's such a lovely and thoughtful design.
Amazing 🤩 totally blown away by the architecture of the house as well as the location & explanation given by the owner. Everything one can wish for!!!
Built to last, for generations to come....a truly amazing design and well executed construction. Simply brilliant!
Absolutely a gem of a project..
Takes thought and skill to make something appear so simple. Hats off to the man, that’s a wonderful house and site. I’m emerald with envy 👍
Top 5 favorite. What a view and the style is perfect.
I'm with the previous comment...love absolutely everything about this. wow!
One of the best house I've ever seen! Beautifully done!!
Really well done. Just the type of home I would love to live in. Peace, quiet and a great view.....
Dang! I love everything about this house, and the owners vision for its future - very family oriented. For sure, this property will flourish as it ages. Amazing architecture - lines are so clean, in and out looks very fresh, fixtures are efficient, it’s just bursting with positivity! Well done!
Cabin, my foot!!! Incredible precision.
After so many luxe designs it’s lovely to see something thoughtful. I often think we’ll start to look at environmentally friendly homes in a different way where we will use traditional materials but more thoughtfully to produce less waste and to create buildings that last!
Absolutely awesome what a place God bless you
wow, i love the idea to use the pipes as a heater for the towel. genius!
This is my favorite of this series. Love love love it.
such a genuine genius of a person
Beautiful! Functional & Straightforward. I would love to have this house with a green roof.
Wow …. No words .. amazing use of knowledge to build off grid and be fully sustainable.🎓
Beautiful and purposefully and thoughtfully designed and built.
Wow! I’m in love with this house! My dream home simple yet very elegant! 🥰🥰🥰
simply stunning ! becoming a big fan of his style of making and living ! & hello from milwaukee !
Speechless. Absolutely stunning.
Love this house for it’s rawness and functionality. Fantastic design in an amazingly setting. 😊
This is absolutely one of the most honest expression of simplicity I’ve seen, yet packed with creativity and craftsmanship and packed full of the warmth of texture..A design classic in the making..
Beautiful just Beautiful. Wow I love it. You are very blessed.
Fantastic. Sensitive and simple design executed economically, resulting in a proportionally peaceful home.
Love the glass, beautiful views
What a powerful property in the middle of that landscape...would be great to check back in on this place in 10 years or so and see how the landscaping and patina has immersed even further into the surrounds.
What an incredible modern and practical home!
I'm in awe of this house.
Got goosebumps watching that, it's spectacular
It's beautiful and peaceful looking!
I really really love this house design its simple yet elegant ❤️
Like the simplicity, basic design, durability and practicality.... there is so much beauty in the simple...
What a beauty! Great location. It's sustainability + respect to the landscape. Love the idea of less waste use when building homes. Concrete floor and exposed tubings work well.
This house is amazing. The clarity of the design and execution must have been painstaking. The attention to detail is breathtaking
Well done
I'm crying, it's so beautiful
the cinematic, his voice, the background music, this video overall is very calming.
This is the simplest and natural design I’ve seen in a long time.
That house is an utter dream. Tremendous
With a current renovation happening on our house, I am constantly horrified at the amount of building waste! Love that you have designed things to minimise all that waste - Australian building practices need to really step up the game to improve on this. Love the house, love the landscape!!
love the vibe of this video, beautifully suits the project.
My favourite so far. I love everything about it.
This house makes sense. Helluva design.
I love it, how the plant was distributed, the place, the materials, except the walls, I never liked the raw gray block, but the house is still amazing.
Simplicity at its best.❤
WoW one of the best that I ever saw. congratulations to the owner.
Congratulations on this build... inspiring.
Nicely scaled and detailed windows with natural surfaces .
This house is PERFECT!!!
Elegance, simplicity, nature, beauty, integrity and reality.
Im quite speechless. The beauty not only lies in the eyes of the beholder. But also in the utility of the design. This is stunning.
Very nice aesthetic. The humble material palette has been articulated in beautiful ways. Juxtaposition of materials is consistent throughout. Overall, a thoughtful design.
It’s really special when architects think about how a home will age and fit into the natural landscape. It takes great consideration to think about building a home that will only fit more and more into the earth on which it will be placed. The rest shown to the natural landscape is inspiring.
This is absolutely breathtaking! Love it ❤️
This house has really inspired me. It is my dream to build something with similar materials to last for generations in the English Yorkshire countryside. Thank you.
Beautiful, marvelous use of materials, elegant, so well thought of, solid and delicate, landscape respectful .... GREAT GREAT thanks for open it to the public
The view, stunning! I like this home. Simple, Industrial yet sustainable. Thank you Local Project 😎
Bravo!!!! Absolutely amazing and well thought out.
Simple, thoughtful and beautiful. I love the approach/thinking-a living breathing and ageing house. Perfectly sited, weather responsive, shelter and exposure, durable. What's not to like!?
Jaw dropping. Incredible. To live there, to be there. Makes perfect sense. Everything is so thought through and considered. A house for generations to savour and appreciate. Thank you.

A container design gone wild! Love it
Stunningly beautiful and beautifully simple!
This is truly truly stunning!the wide shot of him and his daughter in the foreground and the gorgeous sunset in the background nearly bought tears to my eyes!truly a dream
My god. His furniture is SO GOOD
Wow Robbie this is amazing! Well done buddy!
Absolutely stunning
This is the kind of hause I hope to have in the future
6:44 beautiful scenery, completed with a beautiful child
Mr Walker's voice is calming, much like the environment he and his home are surrounded by. I am sure, given the chance to have a home like this someday, I'd be able to get in touch with my creative side more and capture more dark sky images without the risk of light pollution. What a perfect place to unwind and focus, and practice sustainability as well.

A lot of thought went into this house, some great ideas. Well done
The way this video is artistically produced does justice the the architectural design of the house.
Stunning production value.
