From Cottages to Castles

An oak frame is found at the heart of many great buildings. From hideaway cottages to the Great Hall of the Palace of Westminster it is the silent hero. Hand cut from ‘green' oak, with mortice and tenon joints pegged together, its character, strength and beauty grow over time. Inside the oak will keep a soft honey tone, while outside the sun and rain will give it an attractive silvery hue that is also maintenance free. Few forms of construction can boast such qualities, but then buildings with hearts of oak could never be called ordinary.

 

Whether you are looking to build a hideaway cabin or a manorial pile, there may be nothing to match the satisfaction that you will gain from building it around an oak frame. Your taste may be traditional 'tudor', soaring 'barn' style spaces or contemporary curves, still an oak frame provides an authentic solution with enduring appeal.

It is a design language which naturally gives you exciting spaces. Vaulted ceilings, galleried landings, glazed walls and roof lights all play a part.
