Badger Lodge designer playhouse, a natural-timber garden house set against an open sky

Designer Playhouses

More house than playhouse.
More garden room than frame.

Otter Cottage, Badger Lodge and Harvestwood House are our interior-led collection: more architectural than Signature, more approachable than Masterpiece, and designed for families who want a true child's designer playhouse in the garden.

A collection built
from the inside out.

Designer Playhouses exist for clients who want something quieter, more domestic, and more resolved than a conventional climbing structure. Here, the interior is not an afterthought; it is the point of the design.

The result is a tier that sits naturally between Signature and Masterpiece: more refined and room-like than the former, yet still grounded and family-focused rather than fully bespoke.

01

House-first Interiors

Ply-lined, painted, and proportioned to feel like a true room in the garden. Truly, a young person's sophisticated retreat, not simply a platform with cladding.

02

Architectural Rooflines

Cedar shingles, deeper eaves, and more considered silhouettes give this tier a calmer, more domestic presence.

03

Refined Garden Presence

These are the models chosen when the structure must satisfy both children and the wider composition of the garden.

Badger Lodge playhouse with slide extension in a landscaped family garden

Badger Lodge

The most charming route into the interior-led tier.

A cottage-led composition for families who want warmth, domestic character, and a softer architectural footprint.

Badger Lodge takes the spirit of the Signature collection and turns it toward the house: the play begins with the room itself, a painted, ply-lined interior that feels calm, bright, and genuinely inhabitable. Outside it can still offer the expected adventure of slide, ladder, and climbing, yet the overall impression is gentler and more residential, for gardens that want delight without visual noise.

Harvestwood House designer playhouse with dormer windows, cedar shingle roof, and gated veranda on garden decking

Harvestwood House

The more architectural expression of the collection.

A larger, more assured house-form for families who want stronger presence, richer interior character, and a clearer step toward bespoke architecture.

Harvestwood House sits above Badger Lodge in scale and atmosphere: more formal and confident proportions, a room that reads as house rather than playhouse, and a presence closer to architecture than play equipment. It is the choice for clients who want the structure to hold the garden with the poise of a designer garden building, while still delivering the movement and adventure that make Bespoke distinctive.

What defines it

More generous interior volume

Stronger architectural massing, roof presence, formality and grandeur

A calmer, more refined exterior expression

Designed to complement formal planting and harder landscaping

A clear bridge between Signature and Masterpiece

For families who want the fullest “real house” experience below bespoke commission scale

Guide Investment: £12,000 – £15,000
