Taking place from 23 - 27 May, Marley’s Western Red Cedar Shingles have been specified on an eye-catching garden design project set to grab attention at the highly anticipated RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
Supporting a design by world-renowned treehouse consultancy, Blue Forest, the shingles are helping to showcase a fairy tale creation called The Magical Hideaway.
The mystical design was created in collaboration with architects Randle Siddeley Limited and includes a charming treehouse and hillside hollow set within an enchanted meadow garden and features whimsical finishes and furnishings to ignite the imagination of anyone who enters.
To support the project, Marley supplied a total of 30 bundles of its Western Red Cedar Shingles to create the exterior of the treehouse, helping to encase it with a warm and high performing envelope that enhances the natural scenescape of the highly creative Blue Forest show entry.
Stuart Nicholson, roof systems director at Marley, commented: “The Magical Hideaway concept is inspiring, so it’s great our Western Red Cedar Shingles are playing a part in helping to bring it to life. Creating, building, and delivering on such projects can be challenging and complex and we worked alongside the Blue Forest team to ensure flexible product delivery matched their build requirements to meet various deadlines for the show.
“It is a fantastic example of how the shingle finish can be used imaginatively. We hope the design enjoys great success at the show.”
Andy Payne, Managing Director for Blue Forest, added: “We chose Shingles from Marley as they effortlessly enhanced the natural woodland look and feel we wanted to achieve with the project. The finished design is stunning, and we’re excited to welcome guests to the stand, and see them immerse themselves in a magical setting.”
