WE LOVE…<br />
The Daddy Long Legs from Anthropods<br />
WHY?<br />
We couldn’t help but admire the original Anthropod<br />
structure at the Glamping Show in September so<br />
when we found out about the 'Daddy Long Legs'<br />
(DDL) version we just had to share! It sits 3.5m higher<br />
than the original model meaning you can park a car<br />
underneath - a clever space-saving<br />
solution for landowners.<br />
The structure comes in 5.3m or 7.2m<br />
lengths, has a three year warranty and<br />
is available in either an on-grid (linked<br />
to mains electrics) or off-grid (solar<br />
panels/LPG gas) version.<br />
Dutch glampsite Camping Vreehorst<br />
loves it too and takes delivery of its<br />
first DDL in March next year.<br />

WE LOVE…<br />
The Pebble<br />
WHY?<br />
Designed by Danish architect<br />
Kristoffer Tejlgaard in association<br />
with John Morris from<br />
Honeydown Domes in Devon,<br />
this gorgeous oval structure<br />
comprises a highly insulated<br />
interlocking panel system made<br />
from engineered wood. It has a<br />
floor area of 40sqm and a curved<br />
double-glazed plastic window<br />
making up a quarter of the<br />
facade for a unique connection to<br />
daylight, nature and the night sky.<br />
Lightweight and movable, its<br />
design has considered everything<br />
including disassembly and even<br />
eventual decommission! The<br />
designers are also investigating<br />
bio-plastics to replace the current<br />
petro-plastics used for the<br />
window, making the Pebble even<br />
more sustainable.<br />

WE LOVE…<br />
The Conker from Conker Living<br />
WHY?<br />
Conker Living is the brainchild of Jag<br />
Virdie, an engineer who started his<br />
career with Rolls-Royce Bentley. Jag’s<br />
inspiration for The Conker came from<br />
the desire to build a treehouse for his<br />
children but with an engineer’s mind he<br />
wanted it to be something different, a<br />
sphere that would hang like a conker!<br />
The eventual design actually sits<br />
on four legs for minimum ground<br />
disruption, and offers 10sqm<br />
of floor space. It takes just a<br />
day to install and has an easily changed<br />
exterior shell.<br />
What’s more, due to its shape, it<br />
doesn’t require any guttering and has<br />
fantastic heat efficiency.<br />
