Although we are based in Gloucestershire, we design and install bespoke spaces across the UK, primarily the South West and the Three Counties (Gloucestershire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire). Please contact us to find out if we work in your local area!
Our design process begins with an in-depth consultation to understand your requirements, preferences, and how you intend to use the space. We then develop initial concept designs and, once approved, create detailed technical drawings using advanced CAD software. These visualisations help you understand exactly how your finished structure will look and function. Throughout the process, we encourage your input and can refine designs until you're completely satisfied.
Yes, our comprehensive service includes interior finishing to create a completely ready-to-use space.

Yes, we manage all aspects of planning permission and building regulations compliance on your behalf. Our experienced team can liaise with local authorities and ensure your project meets all regulatory standards.
We primarily work with premium hardwoods including Oak, Sapele, Idigbo, and Accoya. Each timber offers distinct advantages in terms of appearance, durability, and performance. We can work with you to find the ideal timber species for your property.
Our timber structures are designed for minimal maintenance, but we also provide detailed care guidelines specific to your project upon completion and can offer maintenance services if preferred.
Our creative living spaces and timber structures offer excellent thermal performance, often exceeding building regulation requirements. Timber itself is a natural insulator, and we use high-specification glazing in our windows and doors. To discuss the thermal efficiency of your particular project, please speak with a member of our team.
Natural timber brings warmth and character that creates inviting, comfortable spaces. Timber has excellent natural insulation properties, contributing to better thermal efficiency, and is a renewable resource.
Timber allows for more intricate detailing and traditional joinery techniques that perfectly complement period properties while still looking appropriate on contemporary homes.
Perhaps most importantly, a well-crafted timber structure develops character over time, maturing beautifully - with proper design and maintenance, our timber buildings will last for generations.
A creative living space is our term for a beautifully designed, bespoke timber structure that goes beyond merely adding square footage to your home. These are carefully considered spaces crafted around your specific lifestyle, interests, and the unique character of your property. Rather than approaching design with a standard template, we explore how architectural elements, natural light, views, and materials can combine to create bespoke spaces that feel special.
What makes these spaces "creative" is our innovative approach to design, finding solutions that balance your practical needs with aesthetic appeal.
We provide a comprehensive range of bespoke timber window and door options for your orangery, conservatory or garden room. Window styles include traditional casements, sliding sash, tilt-and-turn, and fixed picture windows. For doors, choose from classic French doors, space-saving bifolds, sliding doors, or single entrance doors with various glazing patterns.
Our timber structures are completely bespoke, individually designed to complement your home and meet your specific requirements rather than using standard templates. We use only premium-grade sustainable hardwoods to create structures with exceptional character, thermal performance, and longevity.
We offer several roofing solutions including traditional tiled roofs, glazed roof lanterns and hybrid designs incorporating a mixture of glazed and tiled elements. Each option provides excellent weatherproofing and can be customised according to your preferences.
With proper design and minimal maintenance, our oak structures will last for generations. Oak is naturally durable and resistant to decay, with many oak-framed lasting decades.
