The Woodcutter’s Cottage was built in a private garden in the Centre of Cambridge. It was designed to incorporate both imaginative and adventurous play, allowing children to create their own stories in the cottage and build their upper body strength on the swing bars and monkey bars.

We designed this structure to be dismantled and later rebuilt on site. We custom built this hobbit house in six panels, that would fit down a narrow side passage, and were then able to rebuild it in the garden.

Chestnut Cottage was built using sweet chestnut in the round for the structure with oak cladding on two faces and cob walls with a lime render on the other two sides.
