A strong adaptive-reuse and hospitality project that treats architecture as part of a wider woodland-regeneration system. The oak-lined interiors, north-lit and photovoltaic sawtooth roof, and proposed reinvestment of retreat income into landscape stewardship offer a substantive connection between design, energy, conservation, and operating model. Although completed in 2025, the project received a new, image-rich publication on September 23, 2026.
