Five structures provide facilities for Monkey Forest

Monkey Forest, which is home to 140 free-roaming macaques, covers 60 of Trentham Gardens' 750 acres. This recently regenerated visitor destination near Stoke-on-Trent also includes newly renovated Italianate Gardens, lakeside and woodland walks, adventure playgrounds and a retail village.

Following the successful construction of Trentham Gardens' main visitor centre and retail units, Pinelog was commissioned to provide seven further buildings which together provide all the visitor facilities at Monkey Forest.

All the buildings are based on original concepts prepared by architects, Peter Hing & Jones, but Pinelog's design team was asked to complete the technical detailing to ensure that they would sit perfectly in their woodland setting and meet stringent planning constraints imposed by Staffordshire County Council.

Pinelog buildings within Monkey Forest include; a main building with cafe and shop, education centre, entrance kiosks, an information building and picnic shelter.

All the buildings are of timber frame construction, externally clad in tongue and grooved Siberian larch, derived from sustainable forests. Slow growing, close-grained larch is very durable and requires no preservatives or coatings. It ages naturally over time, turning silvery grey, an appropriate colour for this setting.

Monkey Forest is managed by Guillaume de Turckheim who brought the macaques from similar forests in France and Germany. "Its all about creating the correct ambience so our visitors feel they have had an enjoyable day and have learned a little more about these endangered animals. The Pinelog buildings certainly help; they are aesthetically very pleasing and fit well in their parkland setting. Visitor reaction has been excellent", he said.
