The Bothn Cabin was developed as an off-grid, all-season, wild retreat. However, its just as at home in an urban or garden setting. Crafted in our workshop in East Lothian, the Bothn can be delivered anywhere in the UK as a complete modular unit or as a kit of parts that are assembled on site. The Bothn is completely sustainable using only natural materials and finishes. The principal design feature of the Bothn is the large picture window and door that opens out on to a cover balcony area. These windows are designed to face the optimum view.

EXTERIOR OPTIONS

Sedum, Sedum roofs are a great way to add biodiversity to an urban garden or allow a building to settle into a landscape. They also have the benefit of stabilising internal temperatures, minimising summer overheating and winter cooling.

Timber Cladding, Cladding the roof with the same material as the walls creates a unified and contemporary look to the GARDN cabin.
