Our story

Wildly Crafted was born after a long period of questioning everything! From where our food comes from to the amount of toxins in circulation around us. These questions got louder when our son came along and ever since we have been on a journey to find ways to live more simply, more sustainably, with fewer toxins and in a way that is in harmony with nature.

It wasn’t long before these questions showed up in our work, so we decided to create a business that is 100% authentic and in complete alignment with our family values. We pulled together all of our shared skillsets, along with our values and dreams of living a more simple sustainable life.. And so “Wildly Crafted” was born!

The name Wildly Crafted fits perfectly with our love of natural materials and the way in which we like to work with them, crafting to a degree but letting them speak for themselves in their raw natural state, a blend of wild and tamed.

Crafting Cabins, Treehouses and sustainable spaces in this way means we can prioritise using the most sustainable materials that are both gentle on the planet and the people who enjoy them. By consciously minimising VOC’s and eliminating toxins throughout the whole construction process, we can ensure that all of our builds are healthy, organic and breathable spaces. This feels so good!

Our Mission

We are commited to crafting low-impact cabins, treehouses and sustainable spaces using natural materials. Through our intentional designs we nurture a sense of wellbeing, a deeper connection with the natural world and life's simple pleasures.

We understand that each client has a vision, whether it’s a bespoke treehouse high up in the branches, a stylish home office nestled in the garden, or an inspiring space for artistic creation. Our approach involves working in collaboration with our clients to truly understand their aspirations, ensuring that we provide the best possible solutions tailored to their needs and expectations.

We take pride in our ability to create fully bespoke cabins and treehouses, with every detail meticulously crafted to result in a one-of-a-kind design that reflects our clients individuality. Additionally, we offer a range of high-quality handcrafted dual and mono pitched Connected Cabins designed with convenience in mind.

Our Values

To create soulfull spaces which promote a sense of wellbeing and that reconnect us back to our own true nature and the natural world around us.

We are wholeheartedly committed to sustainability, which fuels everything we do! Our moral sustainability compass is aiming for perfection with each decision we make regarding our projects, aiming for more of a Biohaus standard over Passivhaus.

We are committed to finding the ideal balance and will actively seek the most genuine sustainable solutions. This dedication is essential to our mission of making better choices for both the environment and our clients.

We are collaborative and open to working with like minded souls who are wishing to step forward and make a difference for the greater good.

Meet The Team

John Nicholls

Co-Founder & Crafting Director

John has dedicated around 30 years to the construction industry, many of those years spent successfully running his own building business. Throughout this, he grew increasingly frustrated with the environmentally 'unfriendly' materials commonly used and the significant waste generated by modern building methods.

This frustration ignited a curiosity within him, prompting extensive research into more sustainable alternatives. This exploration not only transformed his approach to building, but also led to the creation of Wildly Crafted, where he can showcase the finest natural materials available.

At Wildly Crafted, John is driven by a passion for sustainability and a commitment to evolving the business whilst remaining grounded in the simple, unprocessed methods of construction that predate industrialisation. This dedication to natural materials forms the core of his mission, inspiring him to create beautiful spaces that honour both the environment and the craftsmanship of the past.

Cara Nicholls

Co-Founder & Creative Director

Cara is the co-founder and creative director of Wildly Crafted, working alongside her husband John in a partnership rooted in shared values of sustainability, simplicity, and a deep reverence for nature. While John leads the hands-on construction of their cabins and treehouses, Cara ensures that every project is thoughtfully designed, beautiful, and fully aligned with the ethos that guides the business.

With a background in art and years of running creative ventures, Cara brings a careful eye for aesthetics, intention, and detail. She is also the founder of Whispers of the Wild, where she creates nature-inspired art, cards, and hand-worked textiles, drawing on her life as a mother, homeschooling parent, and lifelong student of the natural world.

Cara believes that intention and attention make all the difference. She works closely with clients to understand their vision, guiding design choices and finishing touches to create spaces that are functional, inspiring, and deeply personal.
