New Home Tour of the Apple Crate Shack in Tasmania! I immediately fell in love with the Apple Crate Shack as soon as I spied it through the gum trees. Modest, welcoming and hand crafted this shack made me feel instantly nostalgic. Its private position overlooking the D'Entrecasteaux Channel separating the mainland from Bruny Island, is simply spectacular. As we arrived the sun was shining and bouncing of the water, kookaburras were calling and it was as if we’d just stepped into the middle of Australia, after only driving 40 minutes south of Hobart. This home was built from scratch, with an ambitious budget of only $60,000. Now that’s my kind of budget! Let’s take a look at what this 60k house delivered...

The architect, Andrew Kerr from AKA Architects was also the client of this project. Purchasing the land for $75,000 back in 2009 he then had a budget of $60,000 to begin what then became known as the 60k House. The Apple Crate Shack, aka 60k House, is an exploration of adequacy: the design is guided by needs, not wants. Its modest footprint generates a generous volume, satisfying all spatial and functional requirements. Circulation is succinct and efficient: strong connections extend to engage with the site and landscape.

The project is an investigation of ideas: reference to the local fruit industry is evident in the ‘apple crate’ aesthetic. All timber cladding has been milled on site from trees that had to be felled - all thanks to the help of a friendly neighbour. A limited palette of materials speaks of durability and economy, contrasting the rough and the refined.
