Portikus Writer's Retreat
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
QELNAVOR Retreats — a room at the end of the path
The Portikus holds a chair, a wall of shelves and a window with weather in it — insulated to novel-length sessions in January, with the task light and socket exactly where the armrest ends.
A tea house is a philosophy with a roof: proportions taken seriously, thresholds that slow you down on purpose, and joinery clean enough to hold the ritual. Ours are built by carpenters who understand that the door should sound right when it closes.

Re-oil exposed timber every two to three years — one weekend, supplied oil — and clear roof gutters each autumn. Check fixings at year one, then forget them. Shingles and finials are stocked parts; storms are repaired, not mourned.
Questions, Answered
Is it usable year-round?
Insulated retreats with heating are four-season rooms; the listing states the package. Three-season models say so plainly and cost accordingly.
Does it need utilities?
Power arrives by garden cable our crews can lay; water and drainage only where you choose plumbed options. Many retreats run happily on a single circuit.
The QELNAVOR Promise
One standard across the range: if it would not stand a Bohemian winter in our own display garden, it does not ship with the QELNAVOR mark.
