A small guest lodge in timber, sited between existing trees so that none had to be removed.

Design concept
Build lightly. Timber frame on point foundations keeps the forest floor intact.

Spatial planning
A shared hall at the centre with guest rooms arranged as separate wings, each with its own outlook.
04

Prefabricated timber cassettes reduced time on site to a few weeks.
