Pods

In 2001 Cove Park purchased two of the original four Pods commissioned by the BBC for its Castaway 2000 programme. Designed by Andy McAvoy, the Pods were made from green oak and employed traditional methods of construction. Transported from Taransay in the Hebrides to Cove Park, the Pods were then upgraded by the architect to incorporate both living and work spaces.These turfed roof buildings blend in perfectly with the surrounding landscape. Both are furnished by Habitat and feature fitted kitchens, luxurious bathrooms and under floor heating. Both Oak and Taransay Pods have balconies that face towards Loch Long. Oak has two double bedrooms (both en-suite) with a large open-plan sitting and kitchen area. Taransay has two bedrooms with single bunk beds (both bedrooms are en-suite and have their own adjacent kitchen areas) and a large communal sitting room.

Cubes

In 2002 Cove Park acquired three Cubes: converted freight containers joined together to produce individual units of accommodation. These units were designed and produced by Urban Space Management, London, in collaboration with Cove Park. In 2006 six new Cubes were installed, three of which serve as accommodation and three as studio/workspaces.

The accommodation Cubes all have a kitchen/sitting area and shower room. Balconies over ponds run along the front façades, providing excellent views over to Loch Long. Five of the six Cubes have double beds; one Cube has a single bed and is fully equipped for the disabled. The 2006 Cubes were furnished by BoConcept.
