Case Study
Habitar Scheme for 50 lodges and clubhouse at Chapel Estate, Kent.
We worked with Hume Planning Consultants to successfully gain planning permission for 50 lodges at this successful wedding venue in the beautiful Kent countryside. The scheme is based on our 'Retreat' design and comprises 24 x 2 bed, 14 x 1 Bed and 12 x Studios as well as a gym/studio and clubhouse with bistro, shop & offices
Retreat.

Retreat-style lodges
are set around a beautifully-landscaped central swimming lake for the ultimate relaxing experience.
The site has been set-out so the units radiate around the focal point of the lake. At the northern end the clubhouse has a geenroud south facing bistro and terrace for guests to relax, enjoy the views and soak up the sun.

At each stage Graham has been a pleasure to work with. He talks through the art of the possible then puts it down on paper. Where necessary using his experience to guide and advise around the likely-hood of gaining planning approval. Graham is very reliable and professional and I would strongly recommend him!”
CM - Sussex
I have worked with Graham and his team on a number of projects now and I'm always impressed with the efficiency and quality of advice available. Not only keeping the client fully informed and up to date on the schedule of works, but also being there for the contractor whenever questions arise. Their design ability is second to none, with the ability to accommodate the most demanding design challenges. All this coupled with some very in depth technical know-how, it makes every project a pleasure to work on and extremely well organised from start to finish.”

I have found that Graham will go the extra mile to add value to projects that other Architects and Designers will miss. Their ability to explain designs through the use of computer models as well as superb technical drawings makes working with them a pleasure”

Sustainable & Efficient Construction
Our lodges, constructed using the ‘NIPPs’ (Naturally Insulated Pre-Cut Panels) system, promote a natural, sustainable, and healthy building environment.
The wood fibre insulation and engineered timber frames are pre-cut in the factory and shipped in flat sections to the site, ensuring precise, virtually waste-free construction and high quality. Additionally, the unassembled kits allow for transportation by smaller vehicles, enabling access to restricted sites.
