This week marked a huge milestone as we finally got both Bather’s Cabin and Yogi’s Cabin launched and open for bookings.
There’s lots still to be done to get the interiors finished, but we are on to the quick and rewarding jobs now as finishes and fittings go in ☺️. Can’t wait to show you all around soon. A big party is in order in the summer!
Thanks again to everyone that has helped get the cabins to this stage! It’s been a marathon and we couldn’t have done it without you.

Episode 4 of our long overdue cabin diary is now live in the journal section of our website. See link in bio.
Also, we have an exciting new cabin to share with you, (well sort of), as ‘Architect’s Cabin’ is becoming ‘Bather’s Cabin’. This renaming better reflects the celebration of bathing rituals that has been designed into the cabin, which was originally inspired by Peter Zumthor’s Therme Vals. At the heart of the cabin is a hand-crafted spa occupying most of the cabin’s floor space. It will have an intimate soaking tub overlooking the forest, plus a secluded rooftop deck with a sauna, hot tub and ice bath offering complete privacy amongst the trees for a true forest bathing experience. Wee wah woo wah.
Fear not though architecture lovers, as Architect’s Cabin will be reincarnated at some point soon.
Anyway, back to the film… In this episode, we’re building and raising the timber frame of Bather’s cabin, beneath the towering oaks in our ancient woodland at Great Park Farm. Throwing ourselves all the way back to February 2025 where the story continues, (sorry we are a little behind on the editing), we show you what we were up to back in Spring with a first peek at the spaces we are creating. (It’s around 10 minutes, the perfect length for pre-bed viewing, so you can dream about cabins all night). Let us know what you think ☺️
Some mega progress on site this week with Architect’s Cabin 🙌🏼.
It looks like I’m taking all the credit here, but my good friend Alex and his team did all the hard work getting the shingles on and Danny and Gabe did most of the painting in the freezing cold 😜. Thanks guys!
For the curious, we are using a natural black pine tar treatment which is traditionally used in Scandinavia.
We should be finished externally by Christmas, and hold your breath… finished internally by Spring. There will be a full update to come soon… and of course multiple cabin diary episodes to be released, which I am very behind with 🤦🏻♂️

We finally finished the sauna at the farm for @architects.holiday . These DIY projects are definitely escalating 😂
Great job @built.works who designed and built this one and thanks to all the extra labourers along the way, we couldn’t have done it without you 👌🏻
After somewhat of a delay (thanks COVID) I’m very pleased to finally share @built.works installation for the British Pavilion at this years Architecture Biennale in Venice.
The exhibition which was curated by @unscenearchitecture is titled ‘The Garden of Privatised Delights’ and addresses the increasing privatisation of public space. In response our installation ‘The Ministry of Collective Data’ explores and critiques the increasing use of Facial Recognition Technology.
Lots more online...
