Garden Pod – Igloo Style Log Cabin
about project
This igloo-style garden pod offers a distinctive and cosy retreat that perfectly balances aesthetics, comfort, and practicality. Measuring 5.5m x 3m (approx. 16.5m²), the pod was designed as a compact yet functional space featuring an open-plan living/sleeping area and a fully integrated bathroom — ideal as a guest cabin, studio, or holiday retreat.
The structure is built from 42mm interlocking timber logs, providing natural insulation and a warm, organic look. The entire log cabin is assembled on a timber frame base supported by adjustable pedestals, ensuring stability, easy levelling on uneven terrain, and minimal site impact — no concrete required.
Windows and doors are made from Salamander triple-glazed units, offering excellent thermal efficiency, noise reduction, and durability. The arched roof is covered with high-quality bitumen tiles, adding weather resistance and complementing the pod’s soft, rounded profile.
Inside, the flooring system includes a windproof vapour membrane topped with 15mm natural wood floorboards, enhancing both warmth and acoustic comfort. The interior retains the exposed timber aesthetic, giving a sense of natural simplicity and tranquillity while maintaining solid thermal performance.
This project showcases a different approach to modular living — blending traditional log-house craftsmanship with modern installation techniques and materials, resulting in a charming, efficient, and comfortable space that fits beautifully into any garden setting.
