Designed by Casey Brown Architecture, this Mudgee Permanent Camping project are located in New South Wales, Australia. The highly adaptable design can open completely to immerse its occupants in expansive views, and it can close to protect the interior from the intense sun, wind and even fires. Rainwater catchment, reclaimed materials and super insulation give this eco cabin high marks in sustainable design.

This Mudgee Mini Cabin retreats design in two story building structure. The lower story panels are clad in copper and can be raised to create instant verandas. The small interior is open on three sides and features massive floor to ceiling windows and double doors on either side. The structure resembles a winged, floating mass when open and a fortified fort when closed.

Behind the south side wall is a small water catchment tank. On the second level, accessible by ladder, are the sleeping quarters finished in reclaimed Ironbark Eucalyptus. Good ventilation, shading, and high levels of insulation keep the cabin cool in the intense summers, and a wood stove helps temper the cooler winter months.
