The exterior of the cabin references a hay shed that was destroyed by a storm in and hides a comfortable and cozy interior for two people. In addition, it works without connection to the grid, with solar energy and rainwater collection.
Gawthorne's Hut is named after the historic owner of the farm on which it is based in Mudgee, New South Wales, and in a nice touch, incorporates recycled bricks from the remains of his original hut. The cabin is finished in galvanized steel and wood.
There is no air conditioning installed (although there is a ceiling fan), so Cameron Anderson Architects carefully arranged the cabin so that the large windows and doors face south and let in the breezes.
The roof, with a -degree inclination Phone Number List to the north, incorporates a set of photovoltaic solar panels connected to a battery that provides all the energy it needs.
There is also a rainwater collection system installed with a capacity for , liters of water. Hiding all this equipment was important, so as not to spoil the exterior appearance of the home.
Great effort has been made to hide the services out of sight, with a large galvanized clad door on the western facade opening to storage, solar batteries and inverter, electrical panel and a hot water unit to gas.
The location of the amenities here also provides strong buffering from the western sun. The project also achieves a BAL classification for forest fires. The property demonstrates to guests the opportunities to build with a smaller footprint and incorporate sustainable design elements.

In the future, the company plans to add more shading, but the cabin's thermal performance is first being monitored for a year to see how it fares.
The interior measures only square meters and the available space is mostly occupied by a large open area that combines a living room, a bedroom and a kitchen. The kitchen includes a two-burner propane stove, a sink, cabinets, a refrigerator, and a two-person breakfast bar.
