Press Release March 2008 Environmental Conservation Techniques meet Traditional Thatch in BlewberryConstruction is well underway to produce a stunning courtyard development using traditional green oak frames combined with the latest environmental techniques to produce a cost efficient and comfortable environment. The project includes 8 garages, large studio and main barn with kitchen service areas along with two very traditional 3m by 3m granary buildings. The studio measuring 11m by 5.6m has extensive glazing and features Queen post trusses allowing for a full height glazed view of the paved courtyard and ornamental water fountain. The project has been taken on as a Main Contract basis and we have provided ground works, green oak frame, insulation, roofing, glazing and all service provisions (apart from specialist eco suppliers) to present to the Client a finished project ready for occupation. From the outset our Client had a specific brief which we were able to translate into the design subsequently approved by the local Planning Authority. Cost control and design ran in parallel throughout the development of the project allowing the client week by week awareness of design and cost implications. Traditional
materials have been retained throughout with hand selected peg tiles and thatch
used in the roofing and with over 50 cubic metres of green oak used in the main
frames all traditionally hand jointed and finished. Contact Peter Robinson, Managing Director, Oak Frame Design 07773 777403 |
