Swamp Hut
The Swamp Hut is a glorified camping consisting of four clustered around a central outdoor deck with a fireplace. The main hut is the dinning hut which occupies the south side of the deck to take advantage of views of the woods and the pathway of the sun, since its plywood A-frame roof has no walls and is open to the sky. The so-called “cleansing” hut contains a pantry, storage, and composting toilet. It is situated on the north side of the deck, and is covered with an aluminum roof. The two sleeping huts on the east and west sides of the deck are sheathed in translucent fiberglass.
The site is ostensibly private, framed in hemlock, beech, and cedar trees with tangled wisteria vines shrouding the assemblage in the summer. Abundant wildlife takes refuge in the woods here, including deer, woodchuck, and numerous species of birds.
The camping is surrounded by development — Newton South High School borders it on two sides, with suburban houses on the other two, and the privacy and charm of the project is unexpected. Every time when guests go on a camplike setting like this, they will be able to summon up their childhood memories in this enclave while roasting marshmallows around the open fire. Location: Newton, United States.
