Set amidst towering trees and tranquil surroundings, Bather’s Cabin is for those looking for an immersive forest bathing experience. Escape the ordinary and experience a stay where architecture and nature intertwine in perfect harmony.

Descending via an external stair you’ll enter the cabin through an atmospheric vestibule. Venturing inside a hallway with a perfectly framed picture window sets the tone for a series of refined spaces and views throughout.

The internal spa leads onto a secret stair and rooftop bathing terrace with views into nature.

Accessed via the living space, a hidden stair takes you to a secret bathing terrace complete with sauna, cold plunge, hot tub and shower set in our karesansui garden beneath the towering oaks.

Built Works

Built Works is a RIBA chartered architecture and design practice founded in 2020 with a vision to combine cutting edge technology with environmentalism.

The design of Bather’s Cabin specifically references the vernacular of the traditional granaries and grain stores found throughout the south east of England which are typically small square structures elevated on stone footings to keep produce safe from vermin. Defined by their angular/square shape and dark black cladding, in this interpretation the roof has been removed to reduce visual impact.

Bather’s Cabin is constructed from timber and insulated with UK grown hemp. Externally, pine tar stained cladding references the black agricultural buildings on the farm and allows it to blend into it’s shaded context amongst the trees.

To see more from behind the scenes, you can watch our cabin diary video episodes documenting the ups and downs of architects-come builders, Will & Harry as they bring the cabins to life through all seasons on our Journal page here.
