As a busy and successful timber-framed building company, we’re always working on several exciting – and often prestigious – projects.
The clients owned a Victorian schoolhouse on a sizable plot. For some years they had their eye on another plot in the village with lovely views which would allow them to downsize. The plan was to use the funds from the plot in their existing garden and the sale of their own house to fund the project.
In early 2010 the agricultural buildings at Greensted House Ongar burnt to the ground. Of the stables, bull pen and 18C barn, sadly only the masonry walls remained.
The construction of the Jubilee Pavilion is part of a massive restoration project by Cheshire East Council to transform the whole of Queen’s Park in Crewe.
Since its completion in the late 15C Rosslyn Chapel has had to endure the mixed fortunes of so many ecclesiastical buildings. With the reformation and indeed some early conservation attempts the buildings fabric has suffered immensely. Despite the very best efforts of the trust and many volunteers it actually took a book and film to substantially turn its fortunes.
The building combines hand-made brick, stone and glass with the building’s oak frame to form a contemporary and stunningly beautiful home. Generous windows, framed with imposing oak beams, provide ample light to the luxurious open plan design.
With land for new buildings a scarce resource under current planning legislation a common route these days is to buy a plot with a property that is ripe for demolition. This was the long term plan for owners of a less than desirable 1970’s bungalow near Corsham, Wiltshire.
