The Bothy is the result of another architectural commission at Hall Grove School for Alastair Graham. Built inside the walled garden it provides a refuge for the kids whilst helping out in the garden.
A classic three bay structure with pairs of braces into every bay. Here you can see the care that has been taken to align the building with the paths thus framing long views of the garden.
A low plinth is set at the perfect height to set benches inside the building, for students of the school to sit and enjoy the views.
As with the Pavilion the tile and batten is exposed to view by omitting any MCL over the oak common rafters. You can see here the King post and ridge braces which help to stiffen the roof against racking.
The Bothy has yet to weather in a little but we feel is a great success, providing a focal point to the garden and a quiet place to sit and contemplate.
“"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 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
