The Brief

What the room needed to do.

Manchester United legend and footballing icon Paul Scholes approached Tekden in search of a private golf retreat—somewhere he could practice his game, relax with friends, and enjoy the sport away from the spotlight. The space needed to be stylish, practical, and high-performing, all while fitting seamlessly into his property and lifestyle.

Paul wanted more than just a simulator—he envisioned a space that felt like a true escape. It needed to be usable all year round, comfortable, and fully equipped to host a few friends for a round (or two) and a drink afterward.

The Solution

How the build came together.

Tekden designed and delivered "The Scholes", a custom 6.6m x 4.5m luxury log cabin tailored specifically to Paul’s vision. Built with high-grade insulation and durable finishes, the cabin was made to be enjoyed all year round—rain or shine.

Inside, a professional-grade golf simulator was installed with precision, complete with synthetic turf flooring, premium screen and projector, and integrated lighting for immersive play. But what made this project extra special was the bespoke handcrafted bar and fridge unit, designed and built on-site to create a welcoming, personal touch. This space wasn't just about practice—it was about enjoyment.

The interior strikes a perfect balance between functionality and style, delivering a private sports lounge feel that’s as perfect for practicing a backswing as it is for watching the big game with mates.

The Result

The finished simulator space.

In just five days, the Tekden team completed the full log cabin build and simulator installation—right on time for Paul to tee off that Friday. The outcome? A flawless, fully tailored golf retreat that met every requirement and exceeded expectations.

"The Scholes" has quickly become a highlight in Tekden’s portfolio, not just because of the client, but because of the detail, quality, and personality poured into every part of the project. For Paul, it’s the ideal space to unwind, practice, and entertain—proving once again that Tekden cabins are more than structures—they’re personalised lifestyle spaces built with purpose.
