The timeless Sanctuary holiday lodge is clever in its sheer simplicity making extensive use of beautiful natural timbers and materials to create an uncluttered air of warmth and understated honest quality.

The interior design with its vaulted ceilings blends clean detailing and open plan living with tall windows that ensure the interior is bright and that the outdoors is drawn into the home.

The exterior is clean modern and architectural with the prominent feature being the western Red Cedar which due to its naturally high resin content has a life expectancy in excess of 30 years in its untreated state. Cedar wood has its own lovely scent and follows an organic ageing process where it’s warm pink hues silver down over time and blend with the environment.
