One of Green Oak Architecture’s very first commissions begun in 2011. We were employed to carry out planning, detailed design, and to assist throughout the building process which we did on an hourly fee. The project involved building a small conservatory extension to a semi-detached town house in Winchester, and we believe has transformed the main living space into something quite spectacular.

Glazing the gable and fitting large roof lights within each of the three bays of roof structure now floods the interior with light. As you can see the kitchen is open plan to the main living space creating a wonderful unified entertaining space. The cost of the scheme overall including all landscaping works was in the region of £90,000 including the VAT. This was more than the client wanted to spend but in the end the results justified the cost. (Photography: Duncan McNichol)
Good detail design drawings is essential to a successful build. Here is an extract of our drawings showing the floor build up, plinth detail, and the wall frame and roof insulation build ups. Note the use of dry oak cappings retaining the glazing and joinery and which is a time proven system for glazing oak frames.
“"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
“"Thanks for the excellent job which has just been completed on the Oak Frame extension to the above property. Not only is the quality of the work faultless, it is a true work of art, which will bring endless enjoyment to me and my wife. The end result has surpassed our wildest expectations."
Ray Nicolaides
“"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."
Alastair, The Early Years Project
