CASE STUDIES
Hobbs Lea oak home.
In the historic town of Lacock, well known for its rich heritage of ancient timber buildings, our client was keen to have a frame that was constructed using one of the oldest and most charming forms available – the cruck frame. Each roof truss is constructed using both halves of a bent oak butt, split down the centre. Such structures are immensely strong and create a characteristic open arch which is accentuated by the curved braces between cruck blade and collar.
The lower floors of the house were meticulously built by the client, faced with local stone and with oak lintels from our stock of seasoned beam.
A full height oak projecting window drops down from top floor to ground level at one end, and this is infilled with glazing direct to the oak frame and has curved braces stiffening the structure.
