When we started our pool house project our client said ‘I need to make a new house for our tortoise’ I might need some of the old building timber to use for it. I said we might be able to help not knowing what the clients plans were! Well after the shock of his diagram, we came up with this insulated and heated little house. We hope he is happy in his new home.
