The Twyford commerical range - ideal for visitor centres, shops and kiosks

Buildings for visitor centres, shops and kiosks

We create perfect buildings for visitor centres, shops and kiosks

Our buildings have vaulted ceilings and full-length windows to provide a beautiful, light and airy space, which creates an environment that is attractive and welcoming. We can customise the external appearance of your new building to blend in with any setting, from rural or classical period buildings to a new modern purpose-built development.

As our building solution is designed to be flexible, it can be customised to give you exactly what you are looking for, whatever the need. Twyford is ideal for all of the following applications and many more:

Visitor center
Museum and exhibits display
Shop or boutique
Giftshop or kiosk
Restaurant, bar or café
Reception and information centres
Educational or function rooms
Toilet or facility block
Office or administrative use

Fast to build

Because we construct our modular buildings off-site we can complete the building project in weeks, which means minimal disruption if you are adding a building to an existing or busy site. With Homelodge, your new building is up and running faster, generating income typically months ahead of a traditional brick built structure.

Internal and external appearance

We have a wide range of materials and colours – from subtle rural shades to bright contemporary. Internally you can choose whether you create a calming or vibrant modern environment.

We will provide all the support you need to ensure the building is complete and ready to move in from the moment you receive the keys, and our cost-effective maintenance contracts will give you complete peace of mind.

Compliant with all regulations

We can also advise you on the latest building and accessibility regulations to ensure that your new building provides access for all, and offers all the appropriate facilities.

A permanent solution

Our buildings are fully insulated for permanent, all-year-round use. We offer high-impact internal cladding to withstand daily wear and tear, to make sure your visitor centre or kiosk still looks great after years of use.

Should any problems occur within the first year our guarantee will cover the entire installation. Thereafter, to keep your new building in optimum condition, we encourage you to take advantage of our on-going external maintenance contract which includes scheduled visits to inspect and redecorate the external timbers of your building. Taking out the maintenance contract also gives you further peace of mind with a ten year guarantee on the external fabric of your Homelodge building. In fact Faith & Gould in a report to Kent County Council have stated that if our external material is stained every 7 years (we do 6 years under our contract agreement) the walls should be durable for at least 60 years.
