‘Birch looks like a hotel but feels like a festival,’ goes the new creative escape’s website, and in designing it, architectural collective Red Deer, placed that slogan at the heart of their approach. Soft-opening during the pandemic and launching its brand new, blue-green minimalist lido and surf shack-style poolside bar this month, Birth is a hospitality offering centering on a sense of retreat and community, and a holistic environment that offers calm and flexibility, a stone’s throw from London.
