Spaces with a presence of their own

Built for the place, not dropped onto it.

We design and build one-off structures that respond to their setting, purpose and the way they will be used.

From geodesic domes and studio cabins to pavilions, garden rooms and unusual hospitality spaces, each project begins with a different question — and ends with a structure that feels entirely its own.

Leave the right side empty for now. Once the text is in, we’ll decide whether to introduce the first structure immediately or add a short visual index.

GEODESIC DOME

A lightweight structure with a strong visual identity, the geodesic dome brings together geometry, atmosphere and a sense of occasion.

Used as a studio, retreat space or hospitality feature, it creates an experience that feels both architectural and slightly unexpected.

STUDIO CABINS

Designed as quiet, self-contained spaces, the studio cabins combine simple forms, warm materials and carefully considered views.

They can become places to work, stay, create or retreat, each one shaped around its setting and the way it will be used.

DESIGN STUDY

Individual structures, imagined as one.

This early concept explored how the separate cedar-clad cabins could become a single connected architectural composition.

Glazed rooms, sheltered links and continuous timber terraces create a place that feels open, calm and closely connected to its landscape.

Our Ribble Valley base is more than a studio — it is a small design village of cabins, workshops, stables and outdoor spaces, each with its own character.

Everything shown here has been designed and built by Knowhaus — not simply rendered on a screen. Photographs can only tell part of the story.
