Outdoor Sanctuaries

BACA Directors Richard Coutts and Robert Pattison have launched a spin-off hospitality and leisure company called 'Outdoor Sanctuaries.'

It’s a fun project that has emerged from our practice during lockdown.

We had been working on lots of lakes and ex-gravel pits to regenerate them for the emerging staycationer market. Many of these sites were bounded by trees, but we couldn’t find low-impact treehouses – so we decided to design, build, and sell our own.‍

The single pod is shown. The pods have a pentagonal plan and tessellate in 2 and 3-pod configurations.

The prototype is currently under construction, and we’ll share images soon.

If you have a site, then these can be brought off the shelf, so do request a brochure, and we can send you the specifications and price list.
