The Story

A flagship outdoor classroom, up in a single day

Cransley School is a leading independent school in the Cheshire countryside — and home to our flagship independent-school installation. In August 2026, while the school was quiet for the summer, our team raised a linked twin Nordic tipi classroom in the grounds. The structure went up in a single day, and the space will be ready for the children returning this September — in time for Cransley Fest, the school’s start-of-year festival.

No capital project. No lengthy planning application. No structure for the school to maintain alone. Everything from monthly in-person visits to installation, compliance, weather management and seasonal transformations — all handled by us.
