Inspired by the A-frame cabins found across America, the cabin interior is full of design features that reflect the triangle motif. A huge triangular picture window draws light into the bedroom and the angled shapes of our dining area and feature wall blend seamlessly into the  dark and light tones of our engineered herringbone floor.  We even found the shape inverted in the ‘V’ of Vacationist. 

Using repurposed and sustainable materials was important to us.  There is nothing ‘off the shelf’ in our cabin. Each area has been lovingly hand-built, using a mixture of plywood, an environmentally-friendly material, or recovered wood such as oak and larch. Nothing went to waste – instead it was transformed into something new.  Who would have thought the offcuts from our sofa could make such a beautiful, distinctive and personal headboard for our master bed. 

We wanted the cabin to be a fun, quirky place for all ages. Look out for our painstakingly-assembled (with the help of our local school) ‘coloured-pencil’ epoxy kitchen counter and our hidden bookcase room, designed by our kids for your kids. While they look amazing, each is a reminder of what we do with our waste – where do books go when nobody wants them? Who will recycle old pencils that may have glue in them? 

We have worked hard to transform this space in the most sensitive way we can, choosing materials that are environmentally-friendly. It’s fully insulated with sheep’s wool, incorporates water-saving technology and runs off of solar panels. It also has a bio-ethanol burner – better for the environment than a log burner but with the same cosy feel. We’ve also built in infrared heating that runs off of our solar set up. There will be no chilly toes at this eco cabin!
