Oak frame home design
Works of art should be framed. After meticulously planning the design for your new home, you want to be confident that each room will be framed by a strong structure that stands the test of time, adorned with decorative trusses or rafters. If you choose us for your project, we will create a unique frame that adds the wow factor you want for your home.

Foundations and framework are the bones of your house. They give your home the structure and stability needed to last a lifetime.
Our designers will help you design a stunning oak frame for your home. Using the latest 3D design software to create detailed concept drawings, you can be confident that every joint in your home is configured for a perfectly precise fit.
Our Frame Designers themselves have the right foundations. Every trainee spends time in our workshop. They also spend time on-site during their induction to see how oak frames come together in the real world. This gives them a complete understanding, enabling them to take your frame from concept to creation.

Experience tells us you’ll really enjoy seeing your 3D model on-screen. It makes your home feel real, and will be the first time you see your design in full form. But what happens to reach this step? So how exactly is your home going to come together? If you choose us as your custom build partners, then this is how the story of your design will unfold.


Making a feature out of your frame
Making a feature out of your frame
Your frame can be more than a foundation - it can be the focal point of your home, adding charm and character to every room and creating that wow factor. Imagine walking through the door and seeing unique features like high vaulted ceilings striped with beams or a dramatic wooden staircase, in a home that’s uniquely yours.
Oak is a beautiful material to build with, so why not show it off? Whether you’d like to add a drop of rustic charm with decorative trusses, posts, or fully-glazed gables that bring the outdoors in, your frame can be the star of the show.
No matter your design, we can create a structure that blends fashion and function. If you’re designing a charming cottage or a rustic farmhouse, exposed wooden beams really create that heartwarming appearance.
If you’d prefer a clean, contemporary look, the oak in your home can be pared back for a softer, subtle design. The rafters can be hidden behind plasterboard, for example, maintaining that modern touch throughout your oak home. When you’re ready to finalise your idea, speak to us, and we’ll meticulously craft a structure that meets all your requirements.

Why build with green oak?
Why build with green oak?
Oak is more than an aesthetic choice - it’s a practical one. Known for its durability, flexibility and sustainability, oak timber ticks all the boxes.
Green oak is also a popular choice due to its sustainable credentials. We are all more aware of our role in protecting the environment, and most of our clients want to build as sustainably as possible. This is why oak is a perfect choice, lowering CO2 levels and growing more beautiful with age.
Oak is a natural material that has been used in construction for centuries. Picture idyllic medieval villages with wooden structures, windows lit up by fires burning in the heath, or misty farms with pointed timber barns overlooking wide, open fields. Oak creates a harmonious link between your home and nature, as well as years and years of history. We only choose the highest quality green oak for your home, extension or outbuilding as it ages beautifully and gains more and more character over time.

Once your oak frame living space is complete, you’ll notice the oak will shrink slightly as it dries out. This method of construction means your frame will become stronger over time, providing peace of mind for a lifetime.
We can accommodate this movement with our face glazing system. The glazed units of your home will sit on the face of your oak, rather than within, creating an airtight blanket. These units are fitted with weather seals, allowing for flexibility while ensuring the glass does not crack in the process. A face glazing system also enhances the appearance of your home, creating a clean, refined look that elevates your overall design.
