Australian architectural firm Jackson Clements Burrows' Moonlight Cabin makes an aesthetically intriguing attempt at asking "just how small is small" with one of their latest pieces, situated high above Victoria's coastline. The wooden structure casts a minimal footprint – both in terms of physical volume and environmental impact – while remaining spacious enough for a sense of luxurious liveability and practical amenity. Kitchen, utilities and bathroom are all contained as one volume, opening up the cabin's opposite end with wooden screens dividing a sheltered veranda.

Moonlight Cabin's exterior is a visually soft hue of timber that's been treated with a spotted-gum rainscreen which acts, as the practice describes, as a ‘GORE-TEX jacket’ to protect it from the elements but still allowing a degree of dynamic responsiveness. The cabin effectively breathes in and moves with its surroundings.
