We work with you to create a custom design for your new cabin that fits your land, your needs, and your vision.
As professional designers, with over 30 years of bespoke design practice and business ownership, we use our experience to create a smooth and open creative dialogue between you and us.
We encourage your active involvement in designing your perfect cabin, and we help you visualize and fully understand the proposed design regardless of your creative experience.
We begin by visiting your site to gain an understanding of your needs and the cabin location. We conduct a detailed land and access survey to ensure that we:
Our service is end-to-end, so we offer a full budget estimate before starting any design. This budget includes everything you would like to have in your new cabin. This may include an estimate for:
Once this outline budget has been agreed upon, we use it to guide our design process. However, this does not mean that additional features cannot be added as we progress.
We use a virtual online whiteboard to share our design ideas with you. We can both share our design ideas, weblinks, and drawings throughout the design process here.
We also email all drawings to you for ease of sharing.
We sketch our ideas and create 3D computer mock-ups of our design proposals.
Making a cabin is similar to building a new house. It requires detailed drawings to ensure that all materials fit together correctly and create a secure and watertight structure. We also create these details to minimize the materials used and waste created. A small adjustment in size or shape can often save a significant amount of materials, reducing the cabin’s carbon impact and saving you money.
If you want your cabin heated, we use these drawings to work out its thermal efficiency, or U-value, so you can be sure it will be efficient.
Additionally, materials can be selected to soundproof your cabin if you intend to use it for music or family and friends gatherings.
As we work through the detailed design and specifications for your finished cabin, we are happy to meet with you in person. We know it’s often easier to talk things through face to face. Matt uses technology to show you a virtual 3D walk-through of the design. Once you are satisfied with all the material and finishing choices, we will send you an Order Confirmation that confirms everything we have agreed to do to complete your cabin project.
From here, we begin the cabin making production process!
