Modern design in an English forest
In what looks remarkably like a temperate rainforest in Australia (think of the Otway ranges in Vic or even mid-coast NSW), between the trees and the ferns, deep in the middle of an English forest, you'll find what is likely to be Britain's most unique pub.
Designer Ben Huggins and his team from the New British Design agency have created a little feel-good oasis – with the help of Festool power tools.
Located far away from civilisation and electricity, the project required full battery power without the need for cords and cables.
In addition to Festool power tools like the TSC 55 plunge-cut saw and the T 18 and C 18 cordless drills, the team relied on locally sourced raw materials or recycled materials.
Without the reliability and strength of the Festool power tool range, this project would not have been as feasible.
The Festool cordless system provides the battery life, performance and quality in the tools that were needed to complete this job.
Gary Banks“I get excited about Festool tools, what has fascinated me the most is the fact that the individual tools along with everything else is perfectly coordinated as part of one system."
Extraordinary details make this special pub stand out.
Aside from the beer pump and sleek bar inside, the folding door is a particular highlight. It can be folded up with a clever mechanism, opening up the view onto a large patio with two hanging chairs. "We only used locally sourced larch wood for construction. The warm appearance of the wood makes the pub feel very homely and comfortable.
The construction method used is another important aspect.
We needed to use lightweight materials, which also had to provide a great deal of support and stability since the pub is built on stilts above a small stream.
That was the only way to implement our operating concept of using hydropower," designer Huggins proudly explains.
What tools helped build the pub in paradise?
