Oak Frame Case Studies
The Pool House
Case Study: The Pool House - Green oak structure with arch braced trusses.
This returning customer came back to us with a clear brief to make an attractive oak stick frame structure for a new two story building next to an outdoor pool. We took the brief and created concept design within his ideal budget. We worked closely with client and their architect to add in as much character and craftsmanship that will be visible in the finish building.
This frame was manufactured at our workshop and then erected onsite with the use of a crane over the course of a week onto foundations that were previously laid. The stick frame was then infilled with soft wood and a soft wood roof was fitted above the oak frame, ensuring all of our oak work was visible.
Sun Room Extension
Case Study: Sun Room - Glazed extension in green oak with bespoke joinery
These lovely clients wanted to add a sun room to the rear of their property, to spend more time outside with family and friends. They choose an oak frame to add character in the house they have lived in for more than 40 years. They wanted their extension to be light and airy and to be large enough to have all their family around the table on Christmas day. We listened to their requirements and worked with there budget, after a few design changes until agreed on this concept.
The extension was built in green oak off site then assembled on site onto a dwarf wall and foundations constructed by a 3rd party contractor. We built up to the structural roof then a roofer fitted the roof finish (roofing slates), we then came back to face glaze the structure and fit the bespoke joinery we made in our joinery shop.
Note from the customer "Dear Hugh & Craig, thank you for building this magnificent structure for us. Yesterday's work was the icing on the cake. Super Job!"
