Owen Associates Interiors was commissioned to provide interior design services for this luxury glamping development set within the beautiful surroundings of Wentwood Forest in South East Wales. The project sought to create a unique hospitality experience that combines the charm and connection to nature associated with camping with the comfort, quality and attention to detail expected of a boutique hotel.
The design approach focused on balancing rustic character with contemporary luxury, creating accommodation that feels both authentic and refined. Carefully selected materials, furnishings and finishes were chosen to reflect the woodland setting, bringing warmth, texture and a sense of place to each space while ensuring durability and practicality for guest use.
The interiors were designed to provide all the comforts of home, with thoughtfully planned layouts, comfortable living areas and high-quality finishes that enhance the guest experience. The result is a distinctive glamping destination that offers visitors the opportunity to immerse themselves in nature without compromising on comfort, style or convenience.
The design and layout of 8 Alachig tents , similar to a yurt originating from Iran, with zoned areas for sleeping, dining and kitchen along with a separate shower block all set in the Welsh countryside.
A flexible living arrangement within the Alachig with the introduction of the functional spine wall which served as a headboard to the sleeping area and a multifuctional wall in the living area with the cooking woodburner, kitchen utensil storage and dining area. Bespoke curved storage and kitchen sink design to follow the Alachig's outer circle.
