The Cabin Crew
“Hutsmith was born out of a love for the outdoors alongside the challenge of wanting to design small spaces that give big pleasure.
Our team is a blend of architecture, design and renewable energy expertise. Hutsmith is part of a family that includes architects KFM and social enterprise D-Lab so we are not only able to create buildings that last, but have a team that has been trained in modern design techniques and the science of sustainable construction”

Our timber is grown in Scotland. Unfortunately it costs more that imported equivalent larch. Cost is more important than quality, but quality is the best way to reduce cost!
Our Values
- With an eye on provenance, we simply want to build the most beautiful buildings
- We aspire to connect with nature and we believe that your cabin will help you to do this also
- Wherever you are, we hope you can see trees and hear the birds
- We cant do it alone, so always open to new ideas and collaboration, the cabin door is always open
- Local, local, local – we are constantly looking to reduce the environmental impact of our work, UK timber is more expensive than Siberian imports (how frustrating is that?), but we couldn’t do it any other way
How to Order
- The ordering process starts once your site survey is complete and you have approved the quote
- We confirm that your design can be installed and ask for a 5% deposit
- We typically allow up to 8 weeks delivery and ask for the balance 7 days prior to installation
We offer a 12 month site visit post install to check that the building has settled. We guarantee the cabin for 2 years for labour and workmanship. We do encourage clients to make sure that leaves are not clogging gutters in the autumn months.

Our modular buildings are designed to be erected on site, typically within a few days.
