Country Estate Northern Ireland

About the project

This project is a pioneering development for Northern Ireland set on an extensive traditional 1000-acre country estate near the north coast and the iconic Giants Causeway. The estate has various businesses that the accommodation will feed into such as sporting enterprises and traditional livestock farming.

The extensive landholding comprises areas of moorland, rivers, meadows, and pasture as well as historic and diverse SSSI woodland. The multiunit development is set out on a tree covered hillside with impressive views over the surrounding area.

The project is significant in many ways, not least as the development will be entirely powered from green energy generated on the estate by a hydro power installation connected to the river. The suite of large 6-8 person cabins and 2-4 person treehouses are set out through the woodland in spacious and beautiful locations all with access to a small outdoor spa equipped with saunas and plunge pools.

Standon Brook Cabins

About the project

This project is based between High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in Surrey on a small but beautiful parcel of land surrounded by trees with a peaceful brook running through the middle.

After providing a feasibility assessment for the owners, we then went onto design the project and undertake the pre and full planning applications. The land will benefit from this project taking place as we also created an ecological enhancement plan including habitat creation and tree planting to offset the project.

The cabin designs are based upon a Mongolian yurt structure that is fully timber built and fit to run all seasons. The re-imagined structures have a contemporary twist with large picture windows and shadow vertical baton cladding.

Phistlebrook View Glamping

About the project

Phistlebrook View is a glamping site developed on a rural country estate in our home county Herefordshire. Set on a farm on the Welsh borders near the iconic Black Mountains, Phistlebrook View is nestled into the southwest facing edge of a woodland on Kentchurch Estate overlooking an incredible view.

All the timber to build the hut, yurt, and deck was milled by ourselves at our workshops from timber harvested in the nearby woodlands. The hut is fully equipped with a luxury bathroom and kitchen and equipped with solar power electrics and gas-powered combi boilers ensuring many long hot baths.

The yurt is fitted out with a double bed, sofa bed, log burner, and a dining table and chairs. It has full coconut matt flooring dressed with sheepskin rugs from a local producer. This site is really the pinnacle of a homegrown building for us and we are very proud of it as one of our first projects.

Brinsop Court Treehouses

About the project

This set of treehouses are soon to be luxury treetop accommodation at the gorgeous Brinsop Court, an established wedding venue in rural Herefordshire. The treehouses are set in a 100-acre patch of native woodland on the prominent Merryhill. The two treehouse suites are a pair of two-story luxury full self-catering treehouse set in secluded areas of the forest.

The planning application work on this job was incredibly technical due to various land protected designations which resulted in a large amount of survey work and innovative problem-solving. The treehouses are designed to have minimal impact on the ground using concreteless ground screw foundations and entirely contained foul and greywater systems.

The treehouses are designed to be solar-powered and a tree planting offset scheme 100 times greater than the project area taken up has been planted elsewhere on the hill creating hectares of new forest and habitat.
