The Shepherds Hut


Over the summer I undertook a commission to build a Shepherds Hut. The client Henry was adamant that it was built to look as traditional as possible. Through a good deal of research, planning,ideas sharing and careful material sourcing the end result is exactly what he had envisioned. Result! Scroll down to see the stage by stage building process.

Carousel London

Outdoor Restaurant Garden

The team at Carousel desired an additional 20 covers outside for the summer months and to make the most of their available outdoor space. This meant transforming a rundown disused alleyway into a bright and welcoming area for diners. 4 Meter Bench Seat with Plant Pot Compartments, 3 meter L-Shaped Raised Planter, Dividing Fence & Tables.

Pipe Dreams

Pipe Dreams Bournemouth

Charlie Piper, owner and founder of Pipe Dreams got me in to build the interior of his new head shop in Winton, Bournemouth. He wanted a rustic feel with a clean and simple finish. Using scaffolding boards I created two till desks & shelving. As well as 2 display cabinets. One with glass doors, the other with its MDF doors painted by local artists.

This was a Birthday present to my dad out in Spain. His workshop was looking a little run down and cluttered so I built him a nice solid 4 meter workbench with underneath storage for tool boxes etc.
