Huts + Cabins_ Portfolio

We love working on different scales of projects such as large cultural buildings and multi unit housing developments, but we also love the small projects too. As with all our work, we take inspiration from the context and history of the area, as well as making sure that the needs of the users and tastes of the clients are considered.

Below are a small selection of our smaller projects of huts and cabins, some complete and some still in progress. Feel free to get in touch if you would like to discuss your ideas for a small project as we would love to help, and as with all our projects, we have an exceptional record of achieving planning permissions in challenging contexts through a thorough design process to help rural businesses thrive and give more people the opportunity to experience the wonderful landscapes of the north of England and beyond.

Holy Huts

We designed these huts for a land owner on a beautiful site on the north east heritage coast. Sited on the mainland, looking directly at the holy island of Lindisfarne, the design took inspiration from the famous upturned boat fisherman’s shelters on Holy Island, providing a connection to the history of the area that results in cabins with character and meaning.

With planning permission achieved in the challenging Northumberland Heritage Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty/ National Landscape, the cabins will provide accommodation for people visiting this picturesque area.

Ninebanks Workshop

Positioned high on a remote hillside in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and adjacent to a Grade II listed farmhouse, the building provides a wood working space in a wonderful setting. Inspired by simple rural vernacular design, the workshop has some thoughtful contemporary details and sits sensitively within its setting.

Tiny Cabins

Located on a farm on the edge of the beautiful Northumberland National Park just west of the town of Rothbury, these ‘Tiny Cabins’ took design cues from some crinkly tin sheds found on the site to create shelters with character and patina, and a feeling of being ‘home on the range’………. internally a clean modern finish provides a cosy interior and the huts were carefully designed and placed to make the most of the sun path, wonderful views to Simonside and, of course, the stars….!

Shoreside Huts

With a design inspired by the simple rugged construction of the nearby old Ferryman’s Hut, the Shoreside Huts in Alnmouth sit right on the beach on the Northumberland Heritage Coast, a short walk from this wonderful village. If you fancy a lovely getaway by the coast – this is the place to go! (see link below).

Sōtō Zen Retreat

Positioned high on a remote hillside in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this retreat provides the monastic community with a place to meditate. Those who follow Sōtō Zen describe it as a Serene Reflection Meditation tradition, and so the design provides a simple but thoughtful shelter to practice meditation; offering different opportunities for sitting and walking meditation whilst considering the changeable (and often harsh) weather.

Kidlandlee Cabins

The Kidlandlee estate sits high on the slopes of the Cheviot Hills in the Northumberland National Park, not far from the Scottish border. The site consists of several wonderful off grid holiday let units (designed by Elliott Architects as conversions and extensions to existing buildings), which also include four simple, timber clad Cabins. This is a remote and wild landscape, so if you like getting away from it all, we cant recommend it enough!
