Frequently Asked Questions

General

What types of cabins can I explore?

Explore A-frame cabins, holiday cabins, garden rooms, compact cabin forms and commercial kiosks. Start with the collection that suits your intended use, then discuss the layout and specification for your project.

Can a cabin be used all year round?

Year-round use depends on the chosen specification and the conditions at your site. Insulation, glazing, heating, ventilation and local requirements need to be reviewed together before a suitable configuration is confirmed.

Can I customise a cabin design?

Tell us what you would like to change, such as the layout, openings, finishes or intended use. The options and their feasibility are confirmed after reviewing the selected design and your project brief.

Where can I see client projects?

Visit Client Projects to explore the available project records and photographs. If you are looking for a particular cabin type or application, mention it in your enquiry.

Projects & Customisation

How do I begin a resort or glamping project?

Start with your location, approximate unit count, intended guest experience and preferred cabin style. A site plan and a few reference images help establish the direction for a project discussion.

What should I consider for a garden office?

Consider how many people will use the space, the furniture layout, daylight, privacy, storage and internet access. Include your available garden dimensions and how often you expect to use the room.

Can I enquire about multiple units?

Include the proposed number of units and whether you envisage identical layouts or a mix of cabin types. The available configurations and project scope can then be reviewed together.

Can a design be adapted to my site?

Share a site plan, photographs, approximate dimensions and any known constraints. Slope, ground conditions, exposure and permitted building size influence which design options can be considered.

What information should I send with an enquiry?

Include the project location, intended use, approximate size, unit count, preferred design and target timing. If available, add a budget range and describe the status of your site and planning discussions.

Site & Preparation

Do I need local planning permission?

Requirements depend on the location, building size and intended use. Check with your local planning authority or appointed adviser before committing to a design; do not assume a small or modular cabin is exempt.

What site information is useful?

A measured site plan, photographs, boundary positions, available space and known restrictions are useful starting points. Ground information and relevant local design requirements help with later technical review.

What type of foundation is required?

The foundation must be designed for the building loads, ground conditions and local requirements. Ask a qualified local professional to assess your site before selecting a foundation system.

What utility connections should I consider?

Consider electricity and internet for a garden office. Accommodation may also need water, drainage, heating and ventilation. Requirements depend on the selected layout and must be coordinated with local professionals.

How do I choose a cabin for my site?

Start with the experience you want to create and the space available. Compare layouts, privacy, views and everyday use, then discuss how your preferred design fits the site and local requirements.
