I want it to have "Charm"

18/4/2013

What my customers want, is what my customers gets!
The point of having something "Bespoke" is a very personal choice. It could be for a number of reasons, dictated my size, area available or a certain look. A one off, one of a kind item that no body else has.

This is our latest build, it is a single garage for a small car one side, a workshop and has a large den for the children built into the roof.

From the garden, it couldn't look like a large shed or an outhouse so we had to build a structure with a certain British charm to compliment the main house.
I think I have hit the nail on the head!

At the end of the day, its a garage to park a car but I think it looks a lot more than that! Would love to hear your comments.

Great weather... Not!

Not the best weather to be roofing but it has to be done. Week 3 of our latest "One of a kind" structure and all is going well (apart from the rain and wind).
This one use to be a concrete garage on the left of the plot but the customer wanted it a few inches wider, another covered area next to it which can be used for parking another car and a large storage area above which could be converted into a teenagers den at a later stage.
Should be finished next week, weather depending!

The new Grand Designs Tiny House

4/4/2013

 
Sneak preview

With Grand Designs Live 2013 only 4 weeks away, work is well on the way with the latest Tiny House that will be exhibited at the show and offered "For Sale".

Last years Grand Designs Tiny House was nice but this one is going to be even nicer!

It is a bit bigger (14 ft by 6.6 ft), it has a double bed area above the shower room and a single bed above the Kitchen just inside the front door.
The overall spec will be to an even higher standard which will make it our best Tiny House to date (so far).

We will also be running a free prize draw, the winner will win a weekend in one of our fantastic Tiny Houses.

How did it all start?

4/4/2013

From a very young age, building camps and tree houses was almost an obsession, every project became more and more challenging with bigger and better ideas.
Unfortunately my summer time hobby came to an abrupt end the day my grandmother found one of her dining room chairs up a tree along with other items from around the house which had seemed to have simply “Gone missing”!

Last summer I went back to my childhood home to see if my first tree house was still standing and to my amazement... there she was. Unfortunately, half the roof was missing and the floor had long since rotted but the main structure was still "more or less" intact.

Seeing it brought back so many memories of the times my mates and I had. The summer evenings up in the den eating chocolate biscuits which I seem to remember was the entry fee. Sitting round a camp fire cooking sausages on sticks, toasting marshmallows and telling scary stories. It was like a home from home.


I will be updating this blog as much as I can so please pop back and while your here, feel free to make a comment.
