Shot 15. A 2-bed living room in late autumn, late afternoon. A deep green wool sofa with a knitted throw and two leather and oak armchairs face a wide wall of sliding glass. Through it is the deck, with the steaming charred-timber tub and lanterns, and copper-coloured oak and birch beyond. The ceiling is boarded in oak, tall oak cabinet doors run along the side wall with the TV hidden behind them, and the light comes from table lamps and candles. Close to the brief. Off brief: the door frames are black rather than bronze.

Fourteen of these on the lower track, for couples and small families, seven on each side of the track. The living room sits in the middle of the lodge and opens straight onto the tub.

Deck	106 m²	The biggest of the three, across the living room and main bedroom

The unit is 136 m² gross. Of the three types, this one has the largest living room and the largest deck.

the kitchen

Every lodge has a full kitchen: oven, induction hob, dishwasher and a full-height fridge. Oak fronts, a honed stone worktop, and an open shelf for the farm shop hamper that's waiting on arrival.

against the renders

Both living room renders are close to the brief: wool and leather facing the glass, the tub steaming outside, an oak-boarded ceiling and the TV behind tall oak doors. The second take has one leather armchair where the brief asks for two. The kitchen render shows the hamper as briefed, though a bowl of lemons has crept in beside it.

Shot 15, second take. The same room in warmer, lower light. A large linen corner sofa and a leather armchair with a knitted throw sit on a jute rug round an oak coffee table. Beyond the full-height sliding glass, the steaming tub is ringed by lanterns, with autumn trees behind. The vaulted ceiling is boarded in oak, and tall oak cabinet doors line the right wall. Off brief: there is one leather armchair, where the brief asks for two. — 02 · Shot 15
