Jyngl was designed and built by Rustic Huts at Capel Iago in West Wales — a small, independent workshop where we build individual spaces for people who want something a little different from an ordinary room, studio or cabin.

Jyngl actually began with music.

It started at iAGOBURY

Every year, Capel Iago becomes home to something slightly less sensible than hut building.

iAGOBURY is our small charity music & arts festival in the hills of West Wales, bringing together live musicians, artists, DJs, friends and performers for a day and night of music where everyone can camp, groove & escape!

When Deekline played at iAGOBURY, the chassis that would eventually become Jyngl was still at the very beginning of its build.

In fact, he played his set standing on the trailer base, which we transformed into a temporary DJ booth exactly by the doorway of Jyngl, looking out towards the crowd.

There were no walls, no roof, no studio and certainly no Jyngl.

But standing on that chassis gave him something surprisingly useful — a real feel for the size of the space and what could potentially be created inside it.

That conversation eventually became Jyngl.

From empty trailer to creative space

Jyngl wasn’t designed as a generic shepherd’s hut with some DJ equipment added afterwards. It was designed around the person who would actually use it.

A proper production desk. Space for screens and studio monitors. Somewhere to sit with other artists. A large opening side window that can completely change the character of the hut. A kitchen and wetroom so the space can work independently. And enough personality that it doesn’t feel like an office in a wooden box.

The result is somewhere Deekline can work, produce, collaborate, play and open the window and turn the whole hut into something else entirely.

That’s the bit of hut building we enjoy most.

Huts for people who create things

Jyngl isn’t the first creative space we’ve built.

We’ve made a range of huts over the years, but increasingly we’ve found ourselves building spaces for musicians, performers and other creative people who need somewhere of their own.

For singer and musician Laura Jayne Hunter, we built Moli — a compact music-production hut which now lives at her home in South London. Inside a relatively small footprint, Moli incorporates a guitar rack, keyboard corner and dedicated vocal area, creating a proper working music space just a few steps from home.

Jyngl is a very different hut. And that’s really the point.

We don’t really have a standard model

We build at Capel Iago in West Wales, and almost everything starts with a conversation rather than a catalogue. Someone might need:

  • A writing room
  • A production studio
  • A rehearsal space
  • A place to paint
  • A green room
  • A tiny office away from the house
  • A room where three musicians can sit around a desk at two o’clock in the morning arguing about a baseline

We work backwards from what you actually want to do inside it. The position of the desk, windows, acoustics, storage, lighting, power, seating and even where somebody naturally looks when they’re working can matter far more than choosing something from a list of standard options.

The outside can still look like a Rustic Hut. The inside can be almost anything.

Built at Capel Iago

There’s probably something appropriate about these spaces being made here. Capel Iago is tucked away in the countryside of West Wales, surrounded by fields, woodland and the old sawmill where Rustic Huts grew from.

For most of the year we’re building. Occasionally we’re putting on a festival. Often the two worlds overlap. Musicians visit. Ideas get discussed. Someone stands on an unfinished chassis and starts imagining what could fit on it.

Jyngl is one of the things that came out of that.

Could we build yours?

If you’ve found this page because you’ve just been inside Jyngl, you’ve already seen considerably more than most people who contact us.

We don’t have a musician’s studio package, an artist’s package or a celebrity range.

Tell us what you’d like the space to do. We’ll work out the rest.
