Case Study: How Rural Landowners Earn +£4,150 Monthly With Sustainable Homes

We help Maximize Your Rental Income with Sustainable Rural Home Designs, provided by RIBA Chartered Architects.

Good Design Facilitates Funding and Investment

The Monocoque Cabin project began as a short-term rental initiative with no initial funding or land. This is a genuine venture, not a fantasy or scam.

In October 2022, an incredible opportunity emerged when Airbnb launched the OMG Fund, offering $100,000 to 100 unique stays. Despite over 200,000 entries, our focus on design and sustainability paid off.

This success wasn’t an isolated incident.

We have also secured funding from Innovate UK and featured in multiple international magazines, reaching millions with free marketing. Our focus on Good Design enabled us to lease land from a Dairy Farm to house the cabin.

How Much Does it Rent For?

Monocoque Cabin rents for roughly £210 per night.

A Shepherd’s hut within the same location would rent for roughly £135 per night.

Due to media attention, winning the Airbnb fund etc the Monocoque Cabin will likely have a higher occupancy rate. We can see that over many years unique design pays off.

Construction Costs

There is no denying that bespoke architecture costs more than off-the-shelf products. However, things that are made well last longer. A socioeconomic theory known as the ‘boots theory’ states cheap things often need to be replaced - proving more expensive in the longer run.

During the construction phase of the Monocoque Cabin, we worked with sub-contractors. Almost all the sub-contractors we worked with gave us a reduced rate as they were keen to be ‘involved in the project’.
