Between April and August 2021, we supplied stone to Westcountry Walls for a project they were undertaking at Woolacoombe (North Devon). In a quiet valley Ravendere Retreats have created unique costal woodland escapes, the second of which was opened in October 2021.
Case Study - Ravendere Retreats
Built into the valley side retaining walls allow the creation of fabulous outdoor seating area with fireplace and BBQ area. The tops of the retaining walls have been capped with decorative hedging slithers created by splitting down of the small hedging stone.
In addition to the main seating area, they have also created an outdoor shower which gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “Forest Bathing” and being at one with nature.
Separating the living and sleeping areas and infinity pool is also framed by retaining walls with a tumbling waterfall design. The creative use of different materials allows the building to blend into the landscape within which it sits.
We thank Ravendere Retreats for allowing us to use their images and if you wish to explore more you can go to Ravendere Retreats . In addition, we would like to thank Westcountry Walls for their excellent workmanship.
