Oak frame design.

Over the last 20 years, there has been an explosion of interest in the use of traditional timber frame in domestic housing. These buildings can take a multitude of forms borrowing from the long tradition of British timber buildings such as barns with a linear character, the more sophisticated medieval domestic forms such as wealden houses, cruck-framed hall houses, jettied town houses, farmhouses or country manor buildings, etc. or they can represent an entirely modern approach with these timeless materials and techniques.
