"This intriguingly named rural retreat is a delightful example of doing a lot with very little. The two rooms are anchored around a deck that is reached via stepped ramp, which defines a courtyard and Lakeland and other views. This is a highly skilled architectural piece that is also a demonstration of how a small domestic residence might literally touch the earth lightly: it floats on piles and is clad in timber boards from the hillside wood in which it is carefully placed between mature trees. This building works with its local environment by preserving what is there, and exploiting for pleasure the local resource of timber, topography and views. What’s more, it’s available for rent." -- RIBA
