Bespoke Showcase

Story of inspiration

A sunrise, an acacia tree, an oryx. Each project presents its own unique sources of inspiration.

When a client initiates a bespoke solution with us, our team draws on this inspiration, collaborating to create a unique ground up design. Via detailed drawings, computer-gererated 3D models, and master craftsmanship, we strive to bring your idea of perfection to life.

Bespoke solutions are more than tented camps, they are works of art, made for the wild.

Bring your unique vision to life with the Tenthouse team.
