The Hammock Hut was built for the 2017/2018 Woodford Folk Festival. Designed to be a space of respite, the pavilion is composed of a series of overlapping triangular frames covered with woven bamboo. The ridge mirrors the fall of the hillside and the gable front opens eastward to a distant cluster of ancient volcanic cores known as the Glasshouse Mountains.
Designed as a 1:1 prototype community space for the Vietnamese villiage of Ro Koi, the installation builds upon an initial community consultation during the Winter 2017 UTAS (University of Tasmania) Vietnam bamboo studio. It was further developed in January 2018 at the National University of Civil Engineering in Hanoi, Vietnam.
