"Cabin Crew looks at the work of Hird & Brooks, a celebrated firm of modernist architects based in South Wales. The self-proclaimed highlight of their glittering careers was not the impossibly sleek Scandi-styled villas they’re best known for — instead, it was a series of little-known holiday cabin sites.

To perfect their cabin designs, Hird & Brooks drew on a deep interest in Denmark’s functionalist architecture, went on several study tours to the country, and borrowed extensively from its summerhouse culture. With a love of craftsmanship and a preoccupation with materials and structure, they agonised over every detail, from the woodland settings, to the colour schemes, to the handmade fitted furniture, to the custom-designed wood burners. The great thing is, 50 years on, many of these cabins are still standing, some are in a near-pristine state, and several are available as holiday lets for anyone to enjoy.

This book is currently on pre-sale at a discounted price of £20.00 (full price £25.00), this discount will be available until 7th of February 2025. Please note presale orders will be shipped after the publication date of 10th March. Cabin Crew If you like your holiday cabins, there’s no shortage...
