The Pig Let, West Wales
A modern take on the traditional Welsh Croglofft. This handmade timber framed cabin has been built within the restored stone walls of a former pigsty and outhouse. The inside walls are clad with birch-plywood giving the space a calming Nordic feel. The lounge area features a sofa, armchair and a selection of books. A neat shower room sits under a 'sleeping loft' platform in the eaves. The tin roof of the pigsty is lifted to create an entrance, veranda and outdoor cooking area. This compact space is shaped by the thick 150 year old stone walls but the cabin interior has been cleverly used to maximise living space.
The exterior is clad in a mix of larch and douglas fir all grown and milled within 12 miles of the cabin.
The cabin is structurally independent of the existing building and stonework repairs were undertaken and crevices left for ecological life to inhabit.
