Founded on a belief that immense physical, emotional and spiritual wellbeing comes from renewing our relationship with the natural world – Out of the Valley seek to create beautiful structures that help people commune with nature.
Bringing together ancient craftsmanship and contemporay construction techniques, our mission is to build a better way to live and inspire positive change along the way.
In line with this mission, it is of the utmost importance to us that we work with carefully considered low carbon materials. We use sympathetic building methods, and our elegant, timeless creations are designed to last many lifetimes.
Rupert’s understanding of form, materials and texture and how a sustainably built space can integrate into the natural environment, to create something of beauty, is to be admired. It’s not just what his spaces look like, it’s how they feel – how they work from an aesthetic as well as practical point of view.Tom Dixon
