Frame Design:

Details: 

A strikingly different approach which sets the tone of much of Carpenter Oak Ltd. and Roderick James Architects current work. An exciting new house using oak and stainless steel connectors. The curves and circular tower required the oak to be used in a very contemporary way and at the same time the restained use of oak contrasts dramatically against the white plastered masonry walls. The curved design faces south around an existing Acacia tree. The master bedroom is on the first floor of the tower with the kitchen below opening out into both the 'barn' space and conservatory.
