Trust Us Twice: Forestry England’s Second Bespoke Multifunctional Shelter
Client
Forestry England
Location
Cannock Chase Forest, Rugeley, Staffordshire
Project
Bespoke Pine Needle Glade Shelter
Overview
After the success of our first bespoke shelter for Forestry England, the bespoke Butterfly Shelter, they asked us to return for a second. Once again, they asked for an accessible and multifunctional shelter, that blends in seamlessly with the surrounding environment. And we delivered: complete with a wheelchair-accessible ramp, various storage options, and plenty of seating availability, this shelter is perfect for outdoor learning, wellness activities, and rest and rejuvenation options, while also appearing timeless in the natural woodland.
“The shelter looks fantastic, and we’re really pleased with the overall appearance and quality of the structure!”
Gary Kelsey, Visitor Operations Manager, Forestry England
Following our first project with Forestry England (the Butterfly Shelter at Haldon Forest), the Cannock Chase shelter demonstrates our ability to build strong partnerships, allowing us to return and deliver project after project. By combining craftsmanship with rigorous structural load analysis and certified safety metrics, we transform complex public briefs into durable, captivating architectural landmarks. We build commercial timber installations that honour the environment, stimulate communities, and endure for decades.
