Mudgee Permanent Camping, Central western NSW in Australia

April 13, 2011 Category: House, Residential

Mudgee Permanent Camping, Central western that located in Australia, was designed by Casey Brown Architecture. This structure was the realisation of a dream for the client. Conceived as a retreat for one or two people, the building has a minimal 3x3m footprint providing shelter. The structure is a two storey copper clad tower with the sides opening up on the ground level to provide wide verandas to the north, east and western elevations. To the south, a water tank and winches are located to operate the moveable veranda roofs.

Internally, the structure is beautifully crafted from recycled ironbark providing a sleeping loft and small kitchen with a Rais wood fired slow combustion stove. Water is collected on the roof with a separate WC, also in copper clad hardwood, located a short walk to the west. The structure is heavily insulated from cold winds as well as searing daytime temperatures, with multi layered walls all ventilated top and bottom allowing free air movement.
