Cupboard love: Creating a tiny weekend retreat

The intimate holiday home, called the Wardrobe in the Landscape, is made from a series of wooden panels which are painted grey on the exterior but left in their natural colour on the interior. The front façade of the building has shutters that swing open, mimicking a wardrobe, hence the name.
