Three Capes Track Cabins<\/strong><\/h1>\n

The Lonely Planet named the Three Capes Track \u201cone of the world\u2019s hottest new experiences”. Conceived by JAWSARCHITECTS, the cabins at the three overnight sites provide welcome shelter for walkers tackling the Three Capes Track within the majestic Tasman Peninsula. JAWS worked closely with the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service to develop simple yet elegant fly-in shelters that sit lightly and effortlessly in this dramatic landscape. Adapting JAWS’ previous experience with prefabrication and transportable structures, the huts employ repeated and preassembled components. These components needed to be transported by helicopter in 800 kilogram loads, and then assembled \u2018flat-pack style\u2019 on-site by a small team of craftsmen. Bushfire considerations, off-grid power, water collection, bird strike, salt spray and physical protection of flora and fauna all needed to be considered and skilfully integrated into the design. Window seats with tilted glazing to reflect the ground (so birds won\u2019t fly into windows), along with extensive use of bushfire resistant timbers, are just some of the design solutions employed. The result is a refined and unassuming insertion that nestles lightly in this raw and precious environment.<\/p>\n
