Architect George Clarke lifted the lid on his extraordinary tree house project in December 2013 and it has been amazingly popular ever since.

Created in collaboration with designer William Hardie, the Sky Den features a triangular pod with a spectacular opening roof, revealing views of the largest working forest in Europe and budding astronomers will be able to lie back and revel in the star-studded skies of Kielder Water & Forest Park, which together with Northumberland National Park has been designated as Northumberland International Dark Sky Park.

Speaking about the Sky Den, George said: "We've never designed anything like it before. Its part tree house, part art installation and can offer a unique experience on a unique site".

Calvert Trust Kielder, where the Sky Den is located, is a charity which helps people with disabilities to achieve their potential through outdoor activities.

Peter Cockerill, Calvert Trust Chief Executive, said: "This innovative and accessible amazing space goes against the usual expectations of a tree house and realises our vision of people with disabilities sharing in life's opportunities".
