Cameron Anderson Architects has shared photos of a small off-grid cabin they designed as part of a luxury farm stay in Australia.
The building is situated on a gently undulating site with its elevated position offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding farmland.

A wrapping sheet metal roof form protects the building from the elements, while extensive double glazing maximizes views, and roof overhangs provide shade.
