Combining oak frame with glass and steel

If you are looking for a environmentally responsible building method an oak framed home using a panelised timber build up and cladding merits serious consideration.

Project background

A contemporary oak framed house in West Sussex, just a few miles outside Chichester. This project demonstrates perfectly that oak framed homes don’t have to fit the norm. The mixture of timber with stainless steel bracing, glass and big open rooms creates a fabulous sense of space and yet avoids the trap of being clinical and utilitarian because of the warmth the frame brings to the building. The oak house is built on a two and half acre plot previously occupied by a rather dated 1960’s timber clad building with views of Bosham harbour.
