A small cabin for slow weekends
The Bruny Island Long Weekend Cabin is a compact off-grid weekender on Bruny Island, made for getting away and settling into the landscape.
Built by its owner, the cabin is deliberately small and self-sufficient — sized for a long weekend, and light on its site.
Everything is pared back to what matters: shelter, warmth, and a clear connection to the country around it.
A weekender should ask very little of its site — and give back a lot in the way it lets you slow down.Saxon Hall

Client Review
Have worked on a number of interesting projects with Saxon, most recently as an owner builder for a wilderness toilet that ended up winning the people’s choice architecture award. As a relatively inexperienced owner builder, I asked a lot of Saxon throughout the process. The number of sketches and texts back and forth as I learned to build must have been in the hundreds!
