Cedar Garage Store

Cedar Garage Store

This is a 2 storey cedar garage store and playroom. Made using green oak and timber framed construction. As a first for us we clad this building in vertical ‘hit and miss’ cladding in Western Red Cedar.

The lower parts of the garage are divided to include 2 separate rooms, a single garage or mower store and a work room with stairs up to the playroom above. The roof is covered in reclaimed slates.

Timber Sun Room, Bath

We added a sun room to a lovely Bath stone house near Bath.

This room greatly extended the kitchen to allow room for a dining table and further seating.

The douglas fir frame sat on a low perimeter wall of local stone and the large areas of glass made for as light and bright room.

The roof was covered in new slate to match the house.

This project was completed in 6 weeks.

Timber Framed Garages

Timber Barn Renovation

We were asked by out client to renovate and extend a listed stone barn near Salisbury, Wiltshire.

The renovation included the re-building of the stone lower building. This was done using traditional techniques involving lime mortar to allow the building to breathe. The downstairs was then divided up to include a wine cellar and a tool store for the garden.

Above the original stone building a new, timber framed upper building was then added to form an office and map room. This new element was to be completely separate from the older, lower building and was to include high levels of insulation. We then added lighting, decorated throughout and installed carpets.

Timber Framed Link buildings

We were asked to link a stone built garage to a house via a glazed link.

We took the roof off the original garage and raised the walls up to match the house. We then added a flat roofed link between the two with oak lantern lights.

The old garage was then divided up to include a shower room and a bedroom, an oak framed truss was added to support the new roof.

The link building housed a utility room and was divided from the new hallway with walk through cupboards.

The entrance was then covered in with a green oak porch.

The project was completed in 8 weeks.

Oak framed extension in Dorset

A substantial 2 storey timber framed extension was added to a cottage in Dorset.

The new building included a kitchen which could be opened up to the garden via folding/sliding doors and large areas of glazing, directly applied to the green oak frame.

Further to the kitchen the downstairs included a utility room with stairs up to the bedroom.

The roof was covered in reclaimed plain tiles to match the original house.
