Discover our diverse portfolio of residential and commercial projects, featuring stunning thatched structures, timber constructions, and innovative outdoor spaces across Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and beyond.
Commercial outdoor spaces need to work for the people who use them every day. Cape Reed projects include natural thatched structures, timber construction and outdoor areas for hotels, resorts, restaurants and leisure destinations. Explore the portfolio to see how shade, materials and layout can contribute to a welcoming setting for guests.
Use the project images and descriptions to understand how different structures look in their surroundings. A pergola can introduce shade to a terrace, while a thatched gazebo can create a sheltered focal point in a garden. Timber decking, screens and walkways help connect outdoor areas and give each part of a property a clear purpose.
The portfolio is a starting point for discussing your own requirements. Consider how you want to use the space, the approximate dimensions, the existing landscape and the appearance you would like to achieve. Site photographs and drawings can help our team understand your priorities and explore suitable construction options.
Learn more about our thatching and timber construction services, or contact your regional office to discuss a project. Our teams work across the Middle East, Europe and Africa, bringing local knowledge to the planning of natural outdoor living spaces.
