How our work is featured

The Burlington’s were so committed to building in green oak that following the storms of 1987 they bought up a stock of oak even though they still didn’t have a site to build on. This seven page article supported with extensive colour photography documents the project from start to finish. Unusually for a private residence it is built using a cruck frame which creates a spectacular space particularly in the living room. The entire frame was designed and built by Carpenter Oak & Woodland.
