Traditional green oak framing relies on time-honored joinery techniques, using seasoned oak pegs instead of metal fasteners to lock heavy timber structures into place. As the timber seasons over decades, the frame tightens naturally.
By pairing these massive structural frames with expansive glazed gable walls and stone hearths, we create country homes that respect historic vernacular architecture while flooding every room with daylight.
Green oak settles into a house over decades, growing stronger as it seasons.
