Bruny 149 built by @maguiredevine

The design of the Bruny Island cabin responds to our client’s desire for a retreat, a place of renewal where she can escape the high stress of her busy work life and engage in simple pleasures of reading, playing violin, star gazing. The cabin creates a well-equipped shelter, allowing her to spend time on her beloved 99 acres of land.
Born in Taiwan, she spent her childhood in traditional Japanese houses (built during occupation). Out of this grew a love for highly crafted minimalist design. Our brief was to capture that and design a building as a piece of furniture with everything she needs built in. The only furniture allowed was a low table and mattress on the sleeping loft. 

The site is completely off-grid, and as such the cabin collects its own rainwater, is powered by photovoltaics and heated by a woodfire oven, while gas provides hot water and cooktop cooking.
The external materials comply with the Bushfire Attack Level of 19. A
bath is positioned in the afternoon deck below removable decking panels. The bathroom has a secret door onto the North deck for the experience of showering (almost) outside.

Today was rough

I had a rough day today and I think I want to use this Tumblr as one of my creative outlets. I want to start publishing some writing snippets on here. Let me know what you think.

HIGH SCHOOLERS ‼️‼️ COMMUNITY COLLEGE IS OKAY!!
Please don’t ever let anyone shame you for attending.
Do yourself a favor. Save money
no seriously. my biggest regret is going to a 4 year university when what i want to do doesn’t really require a college degree at all. and now i’m stuck with thousands in loans.
It is More than okay!!!! Please go
You can go to a community college to get your lower division coursework done and then transfer to a four year to finish your degree. The best part is once you go to community college it wipes the slate clean, so if you had bad grades in highschool they wont matter, as long as you do well in community college.
And if college isn’t for you, that’s absolutely okay, too. Skilled trades pay super well and trade schools are very affordable.

We need diversity in our workforce. There are 20k signing bonuses for truck drivers with hazardous payload licenses for example. There are these industries that you can get into with a two year degree or possibly just a certificate and support yourself. There are options if college isn’t for you.
