This project was developed for a client exploring nature-based revenue streams on their land. Working closely together, we prepared a full masterplan for a landscape designed to host cabin retreats within a biodiverse and restored setting.
The design transforms three fields into a cohesive landscape, integrating areas for regeneration alongside carefully curated spaces for individual cabins. Each cabin setting balances wildness and privacy while remaining connected to the wider land.
Structural and sculptural elements are embedded within the landscape, allowing built features to sit quietly within a wild backdrop. Extensive native planting restores ecological function while strengthening connections beyond the site.
