The use of historic styles of carpentry such as the arched collar braced truss has created a truly elegant open plan living area in this barn conversion in Wiltshire. Note the use of blacksmith wrought tie rods to assist in preventing the top plates spreading under the load of the roof. Staining the timber boarding of the roof brick red gives warmth and richness to the interior and contrasts with the pale straw colour of the oak beautifully.
Well executed barn conversions make beautiful homes. Large glazed wall panels have been installed into several of the south facing bays along with large areas of roof lights. Reinstatement of the water reed thatch was a condition of grant of planning and is expected to last around 35 years on this steeply pitched roof.
“"Everyone is very impressed with the finished result and I thought I would just take the opportunity of belatedly giving my thanks to you and your team for a job very well done. I have submitted the bridge for a Civic Society award for next year and have every expectation of its success."
P White, Northholt & Greenford Countryside Park Manager
“"Just a quick note to say thank you for sending such a great team to do the work. As well as clearly being very hardworking and hugely skilled, Mick, Andy, Clark and Dave were all exceptionally pleasant, considerate and cheerful guys to have around, and as such a huge credit to Green Oak."
Julia, Crabfields Farm
“"Thank you for the frame that you have just finished at Rogate. It was a miserable wet day, yesterday and John and team carried on regardless. We are delighted with the overall look and also the mouldings to the members. As usual, the frame was millimetre accurate and will be easy to take forward to complete the building."
Bob, Trembath Associates
“"Just to say that it looks fabulous, and all who survey it are wonder-struck. Best wishes and many thanks to you all."
Simon, National Trust
“"We wanted to write to you to express our profound gratitude for the excellent work you have done on our building scheme. It cannot have been easy to pick up the project from another architect when there were still a number of issues unresolved, but you have done so brilliantly and remained calm throughout, even at fraught times. We really do appreciate that you have gone the extra mile for us. We have all enjoyed working with you and have been so impressed with the quality of your work."
