Fabricated entirely from Green Oak and Larch this timber frame building is a reciprocal structure based upon the famous Chinese Rainbow Bridge of the 12th Century. The frame member are interlocked and hence when loaded the members act primarily in compression and tighten one to the other.
As part of our design we created a 3D model of the structure to enable the client to fine tune the design.
The external elevations are clad in locally grown Larch. Taken as a whole the project meets the very highest standards of sustainable construction although in the end it was decided not to use locally grown oak for quality and cost reasons.
Commissioned by Hampshire County Architects this building serves the local schools as an environmental study centre.
Assembly was a complex process requiring very careful planning due to exacting site requirements. The main contractor Mowlem awarded The Green Oak Carpentry Company Specialist Contractor of the year in 2005 in recognition of the careful planning and precise execution of this difficult assembly.
“"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
“"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 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
