I'm a practical and capable man and have my father to blame for this. He was, and still is, the engineer who could make or fix anything and whose tools I'd usually misplace! There's a loss when boys don't gain these self sufficiency skills and I teach them to those interested.

After experiencing over-priced and poor workmanship, I began doing many things for myself that I'd normally pay someone else to do. Along the way I discovered a love of design and woodwork, and went on to create:

• multi-functional furniture for adults and children
• wood and cob cabin retreats
• an art studio and garden shed
• coastal and ocean going yachts
• tree houses and high ropes courses
• a nature retreat in Sedgefield
• and now, my passion - tiny houses - gypsy caravans, sheep wagons and shepherds huts - on the ground, on a trailer or even up a tree.

I've been a builder, sailor, diver, pilot, climber, 4x4 instructor to name a few and understand how wind, water, weight and the sun affect structures in our windy and often wet Cape.

I'll gladly co-design a 'tiny house' to suit your unique requirements, be it a mobile office, healing retreat, consulting room, student pad or land yacht. You will love the feel of it as I do.

Alternatively, if your interested in building a project yourself and need a hand or want to gift your child with the practical skills necessary to build a 'tiny home', I'm more than willing to act as a mentor.

I do this work because I love creating intelligent, practical and beautiful designs that feel good, make sense, are eco-friendly and are the perfect retreat from the 'busyness' of modern life. If you have an idea, a project or something you value that you want to design or build, let me be your first call on 0829505858.

Thank you
