The Chemis Cabin is a highly compact little building that is “nestled unobtrusively into a lush native bush environment”.
Clad in our Tundra Cladding + Sioo:x wood coating, this cabin retreat is hidden within a beautiful established garden.
Designed to Passive Haus standards it will be warm and cosy with very little energy use.
Our FSC® certified Tundra Cladding has a beautiful, rustic look, while the Sioo:x finish provides an accelerated pre-weathered look. The perfect complement for the cabin’s natural setting.
