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.
“"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
“"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
“"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
“"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
“"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
