oak used to great effect, this striking and unusual design complements the refurbishment of the existing house. Floor to ceiling glazing combined with a cantilevered corner allow for uninterrupted views. This striking and unusual extension was designed for a contemporary addition to an existing house in Cornwall. There was a conscious effort to use a local architect and locally sourced, sustainable materials wherever possible. The client’s priority was to frame the beautiful surroundings while using sustainable materials to reflect their project ethos. A natural solution came in the form of the chestnut glulam timber frame, sourced locally from an FSC certified supplier. For Carpenter Oak, the demands of the design and in particular, the requirement for uninterrupted sea views through the corner of the extension, led us to suggest the use of chestnut glulam as the material of choice. Using glulam enabled the engineer to qualify the cantilever involved, under the sliding oak joinery doors, permitting views across Plymouth Sound. The use of steel pins allows the frame to float above the ground. The extension was part of a larger project that included the refurbishment of the existing house and integration of sustainable technology. A grey water recycling system, photovoltaic panels, improved insulation and replacement glazing all contributed to the clients sustainability goals. Find out more about this Carpenter Oak project.

The former station is located within a private walled courtyard alongside a Grade ll listed Georgian house which was previously the St John Ambulance Headquarters. In 2016 award-winning interior architect, Marta Nowicka, converted the building into a stunning four bedroom holiday let. Marta has not only restored features in the original building but added a new two storey extension to the end. Specified for both the original and new structure were Conservation Rooflights measuring 1020mm x 1180mm. Each have been fitted with chrome handwinders to complement the modern interior as well as blinds to provide shading and privacy. “The Planning Officer in Rother was very strict about what materials could and couldn't be used on this project - your Conservation Rooflights were the only ones allowed on the specification!

loved the pretty Surrey village where they lived for many years, but had outgrown their home and needed a change. Their three children attended the local primary school so they were reluctant to leave the area. The couple started searching for a home to renovate or a plot to develop within the local area so when a 1970s bungalow with two acres of land came up for sale, the couple jumped at the chance of buying it. “It was ideal for us,” says Jenny. “The plot was the right size, it was quiet and had a rural outlook. In addition, it had outbuildings, which meant there was space for us to create something for Mike so that he could work from home.” While the property was habitable, the couple wanted to remodel the bungalow to make it more suitable for their lifestyle. “This was a short-term fix for us, as in the long term we wanted to build our own home”, says Jenny. “We knew exactly what we wanted too, a two-storey, oak-frame house.” A decade later, the bungalow was demolished and the couple turned to Welsh Oak Frame to help them build their own bespoke home. The couple discussed with Welsh Oak Frame’s design team how they wanted their dream home to look and feel. “We wanted a bright, spacious and open-plan living area that linked to the garden, and we wanted the house to be packed with character,” says Jenny. “We also wanted a house that would be energy efficient and sustainable and this is exactly what Welsh Oak Frame delivered.” “Planning permission took several years of compromising with the local authority,” explains Jenny. “Thankfully we had some fantastic people on board who enabled us to achieve the design we wanted.” Click here for brochure.
