Rooksnest
1 / 4
Rooksnest is a complex of farm offices, stores and a fitness barn for a large estate. Here we see an ambulatory built integrally with the main barn in the form of a side aisle. (Image courtesy and copyright of Sutton Griffin Architects)
In this picture we see the use of direct glazed gable dormers and gabled elevations to bring light into the building at high level. Well detailed and executed these glazed areas will offer trouble free performance throughout the life of the building with minimal maintenance.

Another example of a base cruck frame. In this example the crucks do not join at their apex, rather they joint to a collar with additional braces to form an attractive open truss. Note the cruck spurs or interrupted stub ties jointed to the top plates of the frame restraining the thrust of the roof. (Image courtesy and copyright of Sutton Griffin Architects)

“"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
“"I wanted to drop you a quick note to show my appreciation for your guys efforts today; they were a pleasure to have around the house and worked hard to get the frame up today."
Paul, Contracts Manager
“"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."
Alastair, The Early Years Project
“"We have constructed several buildings using Oak frames designed, manufactured and erected by the Green Oak Carpentry Company. We are pleased to confirm that their work is accurate, well detailed and delivered on time. They are knowledgeable and we find working with them easy and straight forward. We therefore have no hesitation in recommending them."
Robert, Trembath Associates
“"Seems a long time since we finished with the garden room project but we have to say that it has been a huge success in every aspect. The room has become the place of choice for visitors. I can guarantee that everyone, yes everyone who visits, is blown away by the frame."
Mel, Moat Farm
