We like to work with each customer A garden getaway with a view to get the design right just for them, as we say each hut is ‘one of one’. If a customer wants to use a hut for a home office, for example, they may need a certain amount of plug sockets, and the location of these may be critical for their technology to allow them to work from home. We can tailor the design to suit, building in storage, desks, beds, log burners or anything else they may need. We design and build huts that are big and small, can be used for home offices, spare bedrooms, guest suites, studios or a garden den. We’ve built huts with king-size beds, shower rooms, kitchens and log burners. “We like to work with people on the design of their hut. They don’t need any design experience – we do all that – but we like to sit down with a cup of tea and have a chat about how they will use their hut. We ask questions and make suggestions while sketching away, and then we’ll produce a design based on that talk. So even though each hut is bespoke, there’s no need for people to feel daunted – we have a few initial designs that we work from to create a hut for especially you.” You can make a start by browsing the options at www.cedarandoak.co.uk.
