Marra Marra Shack is a tiny wooden dwelling located in Berowra, Australia, designed in 2020 by Leopold Banchini Architects.

Description
In 1788 Captain Cook and his fleet entered the delta of the Hawkesbury and the sheltered bay of Sydney. At the entrance of the Dyirabun (Hawkesbury) River, he was first welcomed by the Darug People who had been living on these banks since the beginning of times. Not long after, the British colonized the Australian territory, building a network of roads and electrical lines across the vast country. The electrical posts were made of some of the finest local hard woods. Later on, these posts were slowly replaced by steel posts.
The small community of Marra Marra Creek was established by settlers in the early 18th century, most probably using inmate labor to cultivate the land. However, the electrical network never reached the creek and the community remained ?off the grid? and only accessible by boat at high tide until today. Marra Marra Shack is built using timber pillars made out of repurposed 200 years old electrical posts used by the Brits, giving a new life to the Ironbark timber (Eucalyptus crebra). Spotted Gum timer (Corymbia maculata) growing in the Darug region is used for the beams of the ceiling and floor. The details and furniture are made of repurposed Turpentine timber (Syncarpia glomulifera) from the old jetty built by the settlers on the banks of the creek.
