A cabin in the woods: how BXD helped a school create a space for learning and storage
Project overview
The school sought to add a functional and aesthetically integrated woodland cabin to its grounds. The goal was to create a versatile space that could be used both for storage and small group work, while blending naturally into the existing wooded environment.
The challenge
The school needed a structure that would not only meet their practical needs but also complement the surrounding natural landscape. There was initial uncertainty about whether the terrain would allow for a cabin installation and how best to customise it for the school’s specific use.
The solution
The school partnered with BXD, a company known for delivering high-quality modular cabins tailored to client requirements.
From the outset, the collaboration was marked by open communication and expert guidance. During early site visits, the BXD team provided reassurance that the project was feasible and offered valuable advice on placement and customisation options.
Ian and Michelle, representing the school, reviewed a selection of BXD cabins and worked closely with the Governors to decide on the final design. The chosen cabin was then adapted with several bespoke additions, transforming it into a dual-purpose facility ideal for both storage and learning.
The finishing touches included carefully chosen paintwork that allowed the cabin to blend harmoniously with its woodland surroundings – making it feel like a natural extension of the site rather than an addition.
Delivery and installation
On delivery day, the BXD team worked seamlessly with David Stanley’s crew, led by Nick and Daz. The professionalism and efficiency displayed were exemplary – within just thirty minutes, the cabin was accurately and securely sited.
The outcome
The completed cabin has quickly become a valued asset to the school, providing a flexible space that supports a variety of activities. Its design and placement have enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the wooded area, while its functionality supports the school’s daily operations.
Client feedback
“From start to finish, BXD have been a pleasure to work with. The additions made to the chosen cabin have created a bespoke facility, one that sits beautifully within our wooded area. On delivery day, the team were brilliant – efficient, professional, and clearly experienced. This has provided an excellent resource for us, and I cannot recommend BXD, Jack, and David Stanley enough.”
