Our Boldest Custom Lodge Design Yet - A Flagship Model Unveiled

Ever since the inception of YourRetreats - born from our founder's vision for building stunning, contemporary lodges on his own boutique holiday retreat - our mission has remained crystal clear: To redefine what’s possible in the world of lodge design by moving beyond convention and embracing a bold, modern approach. From holiday accommodation to full-time residential living, everything we create is underpinned by a deep commitment to lifestyle. Our lodges are not just places to stay - they're spaces to live, to feel inspired, and to make lasting memories.

Pushing the Boundaries of Design

Following the founding of YourRetreats, we’ve continued to evolve our offering, guided by the belief that lodges can be both luxurious and liveable, striking and sustainable. Our existing models - distinguished by their LED ambient lighting, clean lines, and Scandi-inspired interiors - already serve as a strong foundation. But as the demand for statement-making accommodation grows, so too must our ambition.

Which brings us to our most exciting project yet.

We’re thrilled to unveil a new custom lodge design, developed in partnership with Lloyd Harden Design.

A Vision Made Reality

The brief was straightforward but ambitious: to create a signature model that would showcase the full potential of what YourRetreats can offer - an architectural statement piece that stands apart from anything else on the market.

And Lloyd delivered.

The striking architectural form sits in perfect harmony with its natural setting.

From the sharp, angular roofline to the dramatic use of glazing and nature-inspired cladding, this lodge exudes presence and poise. The layout feels sculptural yet organic, with each line and surface flowing intuitively from one space to the next. When nestled among trees and water, the building blurs the boundaries between indoors and out.

Living Spaces that Breathe

Step inside, and you’re greeted by a breathtaking open-plan living area - designed to frame the surrounding landscape like a piece of art. Floor-to-ceiling windows, paired with generous skylights, flood the interior with natural light, creating a space that feels open, uplifting and luxuriously comfortable.

Airy, open, and light-filled – this is modern lodge living at its finest.

The interior reflects a contemporary Scandinavian influence - something our lodges have become known for - with warm wood tones, minimal lines, and thoughtful lighting layered throughout. From the elegant pendant lighting to the understated matte cabinetry, every detail has been chosen to balance style and functionality.

Calm, spacious, and effortlessly stylish – a living space designed to slow you down and draw you in.

Whether you’re entertaining guests, relaxing with family, or enjoying a peaceful weekend getaway, this space adapts to every occasion. The expansive seating area, built-in media wall, and ambient LED accents make it feel more like a boutique hotel suite than a traditional lodge.

A Space to Rest and Recharge

The bedrooms are designed with rest in mind, offering a cocoon of calm and comfort. The master suite features soft, layered textiles, a striking pattern-clad feature wall, and natural light from an overhead skylight - perfect for watching the stars as you wind down.

A bold, elegant contrast of textures and materials.

And the bathroom? A statement all on its own. With a mix of black marble, wood-effect panelling, brushed gold accents, and contemporary fixtures, it’s a space that wouldn’t feel out of place in a luxury spa.

Premium materials and bold contrasts make this more than just a functional space.

Designed to Impress, Built to Last

What makes this project truly special is how seamlessly it fits within the YourRetreats identity while still pushing the envelope. It builds on the signature features our clients love - LED lighting, a focus on light and flow, and a natural palette - but elevates every element.

This lodge is not just a model. It’s a flagship - a physical embodiment of what’s possible when ambition meets creativity.

Whether you’re a developer seeking to create a standout site, a couple dreaming of your own escape, or an operator wanting to redefine your guest experience, this project proves what can be achieved through collaboration, bold design, and a shared vision.

With high-quality build standards and striking visual design, they’re a perfect fit for premium locations and forward-thinking operators looking to stand out in a competitive market.

For private clients, our lodges can be installed on your own land as either a full-time residence, a self-contained annexe, or even a stylish overflow guest suite.
