Alongside the main house, there are a number of other small related projects that will gradually move forward as time, equipment and energy permit. Of particular benefit to the hospitality we will be able to offer at Skyhill is the plan for an octagonal sauna/bathhouse, pagodas, camping platforms and cob benches, and other studio outbuildings.

Please stay in touch and come back to this page to see more details on the unfolding progress.

We want to express our gratitude to all those we’ve been in contact with who want to work with us!
Thank you for all your help!
