We’re happy to say that the need for our structures to be used on a permanent and semi-permanent basis is growing.Although we’re not quite at the stage where we can safely recommend leaving them out in a deep northerly (snow filled) winter, we are happy to report that one of our more successful semi-permanent structures is enjoying ongoing success and it tickles us with pride!Guests relax on the Larapinta Trail – Semi-Permanent Stretch Tent – Photo by Neeson Murcutt Architects
Two campsites along the Larapinta trail were developed with World Expeditions to provide shelter and comfort to their trekking groups through a series of minimal impact structures. It was part of a strategy to broaden the profile of guests, whilst maintaining authenticity – you are still camping after all!The campsite arrangements are influenced by the particularities of each site, but bound by the elemental issues of existence in such a remote environment. Each campsite comprises a shaded communal platform, an ablutions tent with two toilets, and two separate shower tents.Sleeping is in swags, either out in the open or sheltered within smaller off-the-shelf safari tents.
Unoccupied throughout the hot summer, the camp is ‘packed down’ and remains as a series of enigmatic relics in the landscape, designed to withstand the toughest of desert conditions.Check out our latest projects here
