Mark has over 35 years' experience specialising in interiors and furniture making and has worked all over the world for luxury retail outlets, major construction firms and even royalty! The Shepherd's Huts Mark creates are unique to each client and combine the aesthetics of the traditional hut with their cast iron wheels and curved roof but with modern construction methods to create a beautiful, functional space for you - for work, for entertaining and for guests.

"I have the most exquisite bolthole. For years I have yearned for a space to go and write and reflect and finally everything came together for me to commission Mark and Tanya to build me a Shepherd's Hut.
I have an awkward property perched on a cliff, bitter gales and terrain that even goats find tricky. I showed them a site shadowed in the lee of the house and while that was fine, their enthusiasm and anything-is-possible attitude encouraged me to (bashfully) show them my dream site: down an absurdly steep path and into what was to become a clearing, tucked into the trees at the edge of a field, with boundless views out to the sea-and no vehicular access whatsoever. "No problem" said Mark and proceeded to design a Hut exactly suited to the site. He asked perplexing questions that really made me think and describe exactly what I would want in a perfect world and then he built it. And delivered it. Spectacularly. It takes extraordinary imagination (not to mention experience and skill) to think of the plan that allowed me to have my dream space.
A few weeks later and I am still admiring the beautifully finished panelling, how the desk fits so perfectly under the huge window that frames the southward view over the ocean and how the high oblong window allows me to see each sunset and bring a final glow to the beautiful oak floor. Best of all, the Hut looks like it has always been there."
