I commissioned the cabin on the mainland from PRT Industries who specialize in custom-made, portable, repurposed products to suit a range of domestic, industrial, and rural uses.
Covid, a totally and utterly fucked up council, and a shoddy 'tradie' caused the project to come in around $50k over budget and 8 months late.
The cabin was barged across to the island and installed on 8 footings.
I designed the cabin to be minimalist to the max - an off-grid sustainable unit with only a nominal footprint. Most everything is either recycled or recyclable - or both.
