An Architecturally Crafted Off-Grid Haven on Tasmania's East Coast
Embrace a symbiotic blend of nature and architecture with Casa Acton, a striking coastal masterpiece designed by award-winning firm Archier. Set across 20 hectares of pristine waterside land, this off-grid retreat stands as an ode to Tasmania's unspoiled east coast, with only a sliver of Crown reserve between the home and the white sands of Coswell Beach. Here, the design doesn't just complement the landscape-it becomes part of it.
Crafted with sustainability at its core, Casa Acton's form and function are a harmonious dialogue with the environment. The home achieves peak environmental performance, balancing temperature with minimal energy consumption. Thoughtful design ensures a cool refuge in summer and warm, cozy interiors in winter, all anchored by the natural beauty of sandstone floors that double as a significant thermal mass. It's architecture that not only serves the landscape but thrives within it.
Light pours in through expansive glazing, framing sweeping views of the Hazards granite mountains and the endless horizon of the Tasman Sea. The structure blurs the lines between indoors and out-bifold doors open up the entire living area to an expansive timber deck, offering a dynamic space where the architecture flows effortlessly into the elements. This is a home that invites the landscape inside, turning every sunrise, breeze, and wave into an immersive living experience.
The interior design is a study in contrasts: clean, linear aesthetics meet the organic warmth of timber finishes. The simplicity of form and monochromatic palette is intentional, offering a calming, grounded space to retreat and recharge. In the kitchen and bathroom, form meets function at its peak-here, prefabrication is elevated to art, proof that sustainable design can be luxurious without compromise.
Beyond the walls of Casa Acton, your connection to the landscape deepens. A short stroll brings you to the shores of Coswell Beach, where endless possibilities await-surf the waves, snorkel in the crystal waters, or walk for miles along the coastline, collecting treasures washed ashore. For those seeking adventure further afield, Swansea is just minutes away, offering local cafés, supplies, and access to the famed vineyards of the Great Eastern Drive.
Casa Acton is more than a home-it's a vision realised, a bold fusion of cutting-edge design and ancient natural remedies. Here, contemporary architecture doesn't simply occupy space; it elevates it, offering an unparalleled experience of coastal living where the luxury of simplicity reigns supreme.
