Oak Outbuildings
Transform Your Property with Stunning Oak Framed Outbuildings
We have built many different types of oak outbuildings over the years including boathouses; shooting lodges, summer houses, sports pavilions, garden offices and studios, stables, garages, and greenhouses. The same level of care and attention to detail to all of our oak framed outbuilding projects apply regardless of how small or large the structure may be. Often, constructing these buildings gives us an opportunity to display natural materials in their surroundings and in this regard, timber really shines.
From designing, planning to constructing the final project, we have worked with many clients nationwide to deliver bespoke solutions to match their vision. With 30 years experience in contemporary and traditional structures, our architects are passionate when it comes to providing a modern, quality solution when it comes to delivering high quality oak frame outbuildings.

Quality Oak Frame Outbuildings & Garages
Where structures are exposed to the weather, we design them to ensure maximum timber longevity. While oak is a durable choice, it does not fare well when kept wet, so good detailing is essential. Oak is a great choice for outbuildings, especially for garages, summer houses, home offices, or even pool houses. Oak is one of the most dependable and resilient of all-natural construction materials that is resistant to fungal attacks, making it less likely to decay or rot.
One of the biggest advantages, and a question often asked, is whether you need planning permission for an oak framed garage, and the answer is simply no! As long as it is not used for sleeping accommodation and is under 15 sqm, building regulations are not required. Oak-framed outbuildings are fantastic for providing extra space to a property without the need to navigate complex planning applications. Whatever your project may be, talk to us. We are able to advise costs and will work hard to make your oak outbuilding affordable and elegant.
