Gawthorne’s Hut Luxury Accommodation // Mudgee NSW
Gawthorne’s Hut is a luxury, 2 person, off-grid, sustainable tourism project within a working rural property 10 minutes from the centre of Mudgee. The angled galvanised clad shell and rich timber lined interior reference the predominant rural vernacular of hay sheds and outbuildings, in particular the existing hay shed that was destroyed in a storm in 2017. The Micro floor plan of 40m2 internal area is maximised through the use of an open plan and minimal joinery, the only enclosed area being the WC.
The property demonstrates to guests the opportunities of building smaller footprints and incorporating sustainable design elements, such as of grid solar system and battery storage, rain water storage, double glazed blackbutt windows, thermal mass, gas hot water, efficient bathroom fixtures and passive solar shading.
