ENVIRONMENT
From the owners:
“Compass Hut was born from concepts around self-sufficiency, sustainability, architectural passive design and protecting the environment.
The design of the Tiny House draws from architectural inspirations from Scandinavia and philosophical ideas in architecture known as phenomenology (architecture that engagements the five human senses). The Tiny House also focuses on self-sufficiency and solar passive design.
- Energy-efficiency
The Hut has been fully insulated to suit the local Tasmanian climate, and all windows are double-glazed. The Hut sits facing direct North, for optimum solar passive design. - Freshwater collection
Rain is collected by the roof and transferred into a nearby rain water tank. This is then used by the Hut as the freshwater supply. - Off-grid solar system
The Hut collects and stores electricity from the sun. - Vegetable garden & compost
Various vegetable beds surround the Hut for guests to help themselves during their stay. Guests are also encouraged to utilise a compost bin if they have any food scraps. - Compost toilet
The Hut uses a waterless split-system compost toilet that is collected in a drum underneath the floor. The waste is then separated and heated 24/7; helping to break down the waste until it is disposed of every six months. - Greywater garden bed
Greywater waste is transferred from the Hut, through a treatment system before it arrives at a specifically designed garden soakage bed. - Environmentally-friendly soaps & detergents
We have carefully selected environmentally-friendly soaps and detergents to reduce the impact on the environment. - Recycling
All plastics (a.k.a bin liners and packaging) has been sourced as biodegradable/recyclable, to reduce the impact on the environment.
