Oak Framed Houses
Many of our projects involve whole oak frame house frames which form a unique, newly built home for our clients.
We will design, engineer, fabricate and erect a beautiful oak frame, which forms the structural skeleton of your building, before being clad externally by others, with your choice of building materials. Tall Trees is a really nice example of a whole house frame. Alternatively, some projects use a pared-down style of oak frame with the primary structure only on show for maximum impact. Examples of this style of framing are Boneshill or Rookwood, both of which also utilise conventional construction methods to minimise costs.
With over 30 years of experience, our team specialises in designing and building stunning oak framed houses, extensions, and conservatories. From the very start, we work closely with you to understand your vision, offering innovative design solutions that perfectly complement your property’s architecture. Serving clients across the entire UK, we’re here to bring your dream home to life.
Residential Oak Frame Houses
According to best practices for timber buildings, the oak frame should be placed within the building envelope, protected from the weather to ensure longevity. The majority of our oak frames use traditional jointing techniques and designs which follow well-established traditions going back many hundreds of years.
That said, we have also undertaken contemporary-style oak framed houses, embracing a more modern approach to the architecture, often including components in steel, such as Lees Farm or Chantry’s Barn.
We are happy to discuss your ideas for your residential oak frame project and will work hard to achieve your aspirations and budget.
Engaging with us early in the design process, with your (or our own) architect, will ensure you get the most from the Oak frame and exploit all the potential it has to offer. Early discussions are free and you will find us well-informed and keen to help.
