For glamping & outdoor stays

No concrete. The land stays as you found it.

Six screw piles by lunch, steam by the weekend of commissioning — and when the lease ends, the field goes back to being a field. The sauna is the anchor; the range behind it is how the site grows.

The signature argument

Six screw piles. Nothing poured.

The whole foundation, six per buildingVisualisation

Every NOOK building stands on six reversible screw piles — no poured concrete. The piles go in in a morning, with no excavation and no cure time; the finished building cranes onto them in under two hours.

The argument runs in reverse, and that is the point: at the end of the lease, the licence or the season, the buildings are craned out and the site reinstated. On leased fields, tenanted farms and ground you would rather not scar, reversibility is the planning story — and the exit story.

The range

The sauna is the anchor. The range is the plan.

The evidence

In your category, outdoor bathing became the norm.

None of these are NOOK installations, and no affiliation is implied — they are market evidence: category data and reported demand at named venues.

of new outdoor-stay spaces added outdoor bathing in the last two years.

The arithmetic

The shoulder-season midweek, priced.

The glamping case is season-shaped: heat sells hardest exactly when the field is quietest — the misty October midweek, the February weekend. Two ways to charge for it: a higher nightly rate with the sauna in the listing, or bookable sessions on their own calendar. The starting arithmetic below models the first; the dossier models both, on your numbers.

Rate effect only — hosted or per-session sales are not modelled here. Quoted in USD; EUR and GBP quotes issued with the dossier.

For hotel, glamping and short-let segments we model payback at 18–36 months end to end — and the number that matters is yours: the design consultation brings the model in spreadsheet form, built on your nightly rate, your occupancy, your season. Your inputs, our arithmetic.

A note on benchmarks: we do not treat any published sector figure as a forecast for your site. Sector data tells you the category moved. The dossier model tells you what YOUR field could do.

Questions

Asked before the dossier.

Will we get planning permission?
No foundation system guarantees consent, and we won't pretend otherwise. What reversibility changes is your risk: a NOOK building stands on six reversible screw piles, no poured concrete, so it can seek temporary or seasonal consent and relocate if the lease or the decision goes against you. We supply the engineering documentation pack; filing and approvals remain with you and your consultants.
Can it run off-grid?
Honestly: not as standard. The heater is electric — a HUUM Drop 6 kW — so the building needs a power supply, and the outdoor shower needs water; the NOOK 20 with a bathroom adds drainage to that list. If your site is genuinely off-grid, tell us early: supply provision is project-specific and sits with your electrician and your utilities plan, and it belongs in the dossier conversation, not after it.
Will a sauna raise our nightly rate?
Sector data says the category moved — 64% of new outdoor-stay spaces added outdoor bathing in the last two years, 85% among top performers (Canopy & Stars market report). None of that is a forecast for your field. The dossier model is built on your nightly rate, your occupancy and your season, and ships as a spreadsheet so you can stress-test every line before you commit.
What happens at the end of the lease?
The buildings are designed to leave: six reversible screw piles per building, no poured concrete. They can be craned out and the site reinstated — the field goes back to being a field, which is also what a landlord's consent conversation usually wants to hear. Subject, as ever, to your lease terms and local approval.
Do you build the guest accommodation too?
Accommodation is our parent brand's scope — NOOK Prefab, at nookprefab.com. This range is the wellness buildings: the sauna, the treatment room, the changing room with a bathroom. One detail language across both, two different catalogues.
