We are passionate about designing bespoke, luxury spaces for our clients that emphasise the outdoor experience.
Build
We have been building unique spaces since 2010 and have gathered a wealth of experience along the way.
Installation
We either build on site when appropriate or pre-fabricate at our workshop and deliver finished items to site.
High Quality.
We personally mill the timber for our builds – ensuring high quality, species specific material selected for each situation. Our timber is locally sourced in Herefordshire meaning our carbon footprint is kept to a minimum.
Outset to completion.
We undertake all elements of a build from outset to completion, carrying out ground works as required, through to installation and finishing touches.
We love building.
We love building, from cabins to wagons, tree houses to yurts, our passion for craftsmanship and sustainable design is ever present. We enjoy working closely with clients to create experiential spaces which reflect their character and land.
We offer free informal advice and consultations on the phone to discuss your ideas and see how we can help.
Our client experiences

Tree House & Cabin Project
I first came across Ed of Crown & Canopy giving a great seminar at the Farm Innovation Show at the NEC in November 2017. What immediately struck me was both Ed’s dedication to his craft but his overall knowledge of all things hospitality plus he’s just a really great guy, very approachable and easy to work with full of great ideas. I approached Ed straight away to work with me on a tree house and cabin project in Surrey and we are still working together on this project alongside planners and the local authority. I also appointed Ed to help me secure a grant for another holiday project I was working on and without Ed I don’t think I would have received the tourism grant funding I did. He is now tendering for some of these building works to create a high end 2 bed holiday let accommodation and I look forward to continue partnering with Ed for the foreseeable future. I cannot recommend Ed and his team highly enough for any aspect of a tourism project regardless of what stage you get him involved at.

Business to Business relies on a professional, experienced and personal approach to succeed – and this is exactly the quality approach I got when dealing with Edward and the Crown & Canopy team.Edward took time to understand the context, deliverables and personal aims of what I was asking and he was flexible in his ability to respond to my financial constraints whilst ensuring that he still met the brief.I have high regard for the team’s work ethic and I would definitely consider working with them again on future products.

Canopy & Stars
Crown & Canopy are brilliant to work with. They have a great mix of skills, experience and qualities; a lovely blend of being professional, commercial, reliable and logical, yet also importantly for us, they are also open-minded, creative and collaborative. They also just like to get stuff done with a can do positive approach. They really get the spirit of what we want to create and champion within Canopy & Stars; a life more wild. We feel very aligned in terms of our values, purpose and how we like to work.

Glamping Installation
Over the last two years Edward Busby has set up and managed my boutique camp site. In every detail he embraces a love of natural materials and indeed the preservation of the local wild life whilst encouraging a use for all. He is thorough and for him most things are possible. This is a reassuring quality for anyone looking for a consultant, as It certainly was for me.
