"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.
