A cabin small enough for the garden, complete enough to stay in.
The Grove Pod is our smallest building with a bathroom of its own — a guest cabin that can host overnight without anyone crossing the garden at 2am.
At 182 square feet — with a full bathroom built in — it still sits under most permit thresholds. It arrives as a complete factory-built unit, and its clean silhouette and warm plywood interior read as contemporary without shouting about it.
182 sq ft, with a full bath.
One clear room plus a compact bathroom — what you want if anyone is going to stay the night. Finishes, casework and siding colour are selected with us during design.
A cabin at the end of the garden.
With a bathroom of its own, the Grove Pod is built to host — a sleeping platform, storage below, and everything a guest needs for the night.
Guest cabin
A bed set into the window with drawers below and a loft above. The built-in bathroom makes overnight stays work without a trip to the house.
Want a backyard office or studio instead? The Hearth · Pod is the same shell at 167 sq ft without the bath.
