About Us

Design-led cabins, thoughtfully built.

At Life Space Cabins, we design and build beautifully crafted small spaces that enhance the way people live, work and stay.

Based in South Devon, we are a UK-based team specialising in cabin design and build, bringing together designers, carpenters and project managers under one roof. From first ideas through to installation on site, we shape each project with care, clarity and attention to detail.

Our Story

Life Space Cabins was founded in 2016 by Jamie Wilson, with a simple ambition — to bring good design into smaller spaces. In 2020, Kate joined the business, and together they have grown Life Space into a collaborative studio and workshop.

What began as a passion for thoughtful architecture and craftsmanship is now supported by a talented team of designers and makers, all working closely to bring each project to life.

At the heart of everything we do is a belief that:

everything is possible.

It’s this mindset that allows us to approach each project with creativity, curiosity and a willingness to explore what a cabin space can be.

Design Meets Build

We’re not just designers, and we’re not just builders.

By working closely as one team, we bridge the gap between concept and construction. Every design decision is grounded in real build knowledge, ensuring each space is not only visually striking, but practical, durable and built to last.

Whether it’s a bespoke project or a ready-to-build cabin, our focus is always the same – creating spaces that feel considered, well-crafted and naturally connected to their surroundings.

What We Create

We work across a range of projects, including:

  • Private cabins and retreats
  • Garden rooms and creative studios
  • Glamping cabins and hospitality spaces
  • Cabin developments for landowners
  • Distinctive, one-of-a-kind architectural spaces

Each project begins with a site and an idea, and evolves into something that feels unique to both.

Our Approach

We believe that a well-designed cabin should do more than just function – it should feel good to be in.

That’s why we focus on:

  • Design that responds to place
  • Playful, considered details
  • Materials that age beautifully 
  • Spaces that are practical, efficient and enjoyable to live in

From early sketches to the final build, we work closely with our clients to bring their vision to life – making the process as smooth and enjoyable as the result.

  • If you want build quality and attention to detail from a reputable trustworthy family business. This is it.. I love my cabin. Thanks again.
