It’s a Love Shack, Baby!
Yes indeed, it’s a Love Shack. A design offered by Smartshax, an Australian company that manufactures lightweight, prefab timber huts for remote locations and vacation spots.
The concept for this project was inspired by traditional Aussie Aboriginal sleeping platforms, well-suited to tropical regions with extreme heat and humidity and lot’s of rain. From an article at Inhabitat…
The Love Shack is designed to be factory-built and delivered by truck, taking only three days for on-site construction. The shack uses passive design, renewable and recyclable materials and non-toxic finishes. Walls and flooring are comprised of full, uncut sheets of plywood. For cost effectiveness and waste reduction, rafters and floor joists are cut to standard length and share a cross section, with rope ties replacing expensive hardware components. The roof is a custom-orb which curves to the radius of the rafters without mechanical bending. The shack consists of a single room, 3×4.8m, with a sleeping and sitting area designated through placement of furniture. Shuttered openings offer efficient cross-ventilation and wraparound views of the trees.
To top it off, the Smartshax brochure brags…”If you cant get lucky in a Love Shack, you just aren’t trying.” Yeah, baby!
Here’s the Smartshax website for more details.
