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.

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.

Dewsall Court Treehouse

About the project

This inspiring treehouse was a fantastic project for Dewsall Court, a prestigious wedding venue in rural Herefordshire. The treehouse has been designed as a treetop hangout for guests as well as a structure to host bands on the lower deck and performers in the top nest.

The treehouse is set in the extended court gardens overlooking the surrounding fields, gardens, and stream way that runs through the property. The owners wanted to create something unique that could possibly even be built upon and extended in the future.

We created the concept of the treehouse with the clients and then along with a structural engineer, came up with the load-bearing makeup and framework. We custom designed and fabricated the treehouse bolts and hardware so we could fix into the tree trunk in a way that was extremely stable and strong but more importantly without harming the tree.

All of the timber for the project was sourced in Herefordshire and milled by ourselves at our workshops before being taken to the site and constructed and the nest materials were harvested from the local Dutchy estate.
