Arlingham Oak Home.

The commanding location on high ground gives a panoramic viewpoint across the River Severn to the Forest of Dean and the Welsh mountains beyond, and down the Bristol Channel as far as the twin bridges in the distance.

Working closely with the client and the architect, Peter Waller, we designed and built a modern interpretation of a traditional frame with hooded hips that shelter the large glazed oak screens around the spacious stairwell and picture windows.

With plenty of curved bracing, shaped jowl-posts and heavy chamfered beams, the result is a building with a spacious and light interior, that sits comfortably in its rural setting.
