Happy New Year from Rotunda
2020 is a very special year for us. Those of you who might follow numerology would most likely know that the number 22 is a master number – the most powerful of all of the numerology numbers. It represents the master architect, or builder.
It is with this knowledge, that we celebrate the arrival of this monumental year. We are both delighted and honoured to design and construct each and every Roundhouse for our clients. For this to us, symbolises the construction of a new world. The type of world we would like to see our children inherit. The circle is symbolic of connectedness, togetherness, oneness and organic life.
Those who know us well, will know that we are wildly enthusiastic about the circle. For us, the Roundhouse is not just a building, it’s our desire to connect ourselves and our clients to the world again through our work. As the bird weaves its nest and fox digs its burrow. The circle cocoons and nurtures us and every other species on this planet. It’s antithesis, the box – is an unnatural construct which is the physical embodiment of our contemporary world and illustrates just how disconnected we are from our natural habitat. We build to re-address the balance. For how can a circular building be so forgotten when it is the very structure which our ancestors started building over 6,000 years ago? For every Roundhouse we install, we are replacing what could have been another box. To replace the box with a circle is to bring a shift in mentality to our civilisation. Taking us from a hierarchical society which is OUT of alignment with nature to a more collaborative and considerate society which is IN alignment with nature. Wow, and we feel so blessed to be able to do this for and with our clients – it’s immeasurably satisfying work.
For this, we celebrate. To be part of this shift in consciousness and to assist with the creation of a new world which conserves, enhances, empowers and protects our planet and people is truly humbling.
It is due to the enormous success of 2019 that we can look towards 2020 with excitement. Last year was a mammoth year for us. We constructed £1.2million worth of Rotunda Roundhouses last year. Our projects consisted of:
- The largest eco-classroom ever constructed for a school in Derbyshire
- Five luxury eco-lodges on a Glamping site in Bude, Cornwall
- Two eco-classrooms for a school in Kent
- A 5 bedroom eco-home (under construction – due to complete March)
- A gorgeous Japanese Themed Writing-den by a lake in Sussex
- Several en-suite eco-lodges for 4/5* independent hoteliers
- A eco-nursery building for a Playgroup in Cheshire
- A nurture building for a Primary School in South Yorkshire
- An eco-building on a nature reserve for the Hampshire Wildlife Trust
- En-suite Rotunda units on the Isle of Skye
- Three self-build packages for independent high-end rural B&B’s
2020 is set to be a record year for us with:
- A stunning garden room in Sussex which is 50% curved glass (!)
- Numerous eco-classrooms for schools all over the UK
- A yoga-retreat building in Market Harborough
- Steiner School educational buildings and nurseries
- Eco-Lodges in the Outer Hebrides
- Three Eco-Homes for private self-build clients in England
Our company is expanding and the popularity of the Rotunda Roundhouse looks set to continue. This can only mean one thing – people all over the UK are choosing a brighter future, a more holistic alternative to the mundane and are literally stepping out of the box.
So. Thankyou – all of you, for being part of this amazing journey. Let’s bring the circle back into the forefront of our existence and come together to celebrate our natural world and our place within it – as guardians of this planet, not destroyers.
Have a wonderful 2020!
Lots of love,
Rotunda x
