Beaver Lookout (Observation Hide)

The build of a eco-hide that enables school children and visitors to observe them in their natural habitat without being disturbed. The hide can be of timber, cob or similar construction, using materials that are sustainable and have a minimal environmental impact. Given the hide will be located in a woodland clearing we would want it to blend into its surroundings with preferably a living roof.

Internally we want enough space for two school classes (50 people) and that when inside the space feels like your immersed in the nature. The space must however must be multifunctional and adaptable, suitable for wildlife watching, meetings, and events with enough space for some interpretation. Under permitted development we can make this structure up to 4m high with a volume that doesn't exceed 200m3, it should be heated by a wood burner and have a sufficient solar PV system to power mains electrical items.
