The Hideout House Company Provides The Latest Innovation In unique and Creative accommodation The Hideout House Company brings you a new concept in the way we view housing, staycations and short breaks; Superglamp The Superglamp brand incorporates innovation, diversity, creativity and eco sustainability to create ‘pod lodges’ that can be easily transported and addresses the current gap in the market for accessible accommodation with character and a point of difference. W e currently live in a country where there are more pensioners than under 16’s in our population. This has led to the increase of the ‘granny annexe’ as people look for an alternative to care homes or assisted living. This is where The Hideout House Company and Superglamp come in, by providing a solution that allows both parties the privacy and independence they both want without the associated costs that traditional options bring with them. The rise in house prices has also given birth to the ‘boomerang generation’ and left first time buyers struggling to get on the property ladder. With Superglamp, families have the option of creating more much needed space in their own garden that can be used as anything from an extra guest bedroom, a study, a children’s sleepover den or somewhere for the children to live before moving out of the family home. 28 Landscape & Urban Design Issue 20
