At Tenthouse Structures, we draw inspiration from nature to create innovative tensile structural solutions that invite guests to immerse themselves in the great outdoors.
Expedition Camps
Our Expedition Camps range is an elegant glamping solution, providing versatility, and sustainability. Crafted with precision, these structures blend seamlessly into various terrains, offering a unique and engaging experience for guests.
Beyond the visual appeal, a Tenthouse Structure prioritises comfort, durability, and performance. Drawing from the trend in luxury resort and lodge design, Expedition Camps responds to the rising demand for high-performance tented structures in the realm of upscale experiential travel.
Introducing the Expedition Camps Hard-shell Option
Our latest innovation, the Expedition Camps “hard-shell”, introduces a new approach to the classic glamping tent. Integrating hardened surfaces into a tensile structure, we take cues from nature’s adaptability and shielding forms, seeking to emulate the same balance and resilience in our designs. This innovative offering not only reflects our commitment to sustainability it also enhances the nature retreat experience, encouraging more individuals to venture outdoors and embrace the beauty of the natural world all year round.
Offering en-suite accommodation with a fully insulated hard body, architectural PVC roof membrane, and single- or double-glazed windows and doors, the hard-shell option brings the comfort and privacy of a traditional cabin with the allure and additional exterior coverage of a tent, transforming the outdoor experience. While our traditional Expedition Camps soft-shell remains ideal for seasonal and semi-permanent camps, the hard-shell caters to bold camp and resort operators wanting to operate year-round, embracing the wonders of every season.
