A PLYWOOD CABN IN THE FOREST

Nestled in forest in the Kangaroo Valley, a tiny house provides city dwellers with the perfect escape.

“CABN was set up to provide people with a means to disconnect from the crazy. Our completely off-grid, sustainable and eco-friendly tiny houses set in stunning landscapes offer an ideal escape.”

In a space so small, form must follow function. The striking and durable Ecoply® plywood interior offers warmth and modernity but is also functional. With a nod to Japanese and Scandinavian influences, the finish is raw so there’s no need for painting.

Ecoply is made from locally-harvested, Australian timber and is incredibly efficient in its use of the resource.

FSC® certification guarantees the timber is sourced from sustainably-managed forests. It’s the perfect material for use here, where composting toilets, rainwater catchment and solar power ensure minimal environmental impact.

“All our materials are sustainable when possible, it’s crucial that we prioritise the environment with everything we do,” explained Shane Laidlaw, head of research and development at CABN.

CABN offers city dwellers a chance to take a breather – to stop and see the wood for the trees. What better way to do that than from a plywood haven? Photo credit: @cabn.life Enquiries: Carter Holt Harvey 1800 338 463 ecoply.com.au
