Heavy posts and beams bring shade to a terrace facing the sea. A linen canopy goes on top, and within a few years bougainvillea takes over. Connections use concealed steel fittings, so only the wood shows.
The real strength of old timber shows when it carries weight.
With beams and posts that held up a house for decades, we build new structures for your garden, your terrace, your shoreline.
A tiled-roof gazebo on a stone platform, with posts and trusses from old beams. Built-in seating and a table go inside. When the lanterns are lit in the evening, it feels like a separate room in the garden.
Wide glazing between heavy timber frames, with an open pavilion built alongside by the same hands. Beams taken down in one village stand up again in the middle of a vineyard.
A covered veranda of timber posts and beams in front of a stone house. A long table, evening light, hanging lanterns. It often becomes the most lived-in part of the home.
Two posts and a braced roof over the front door. It keeps off the rain and the midday sun, and sits just as naturally on an old stone house as on a new building.
A jetty reaching into the sea from a rocky shore, with a covered seating terrace. A structure that lives with salt and damp gets heavy sections, stainless fixings and exterior-grade oil.
The images on this page are concept studies. Photos of our completed projects will be here soon.
How we work
Site first, then wood
We visit the site and talk through size and use. Then we pick beams from our stock with the right section and length, and design the project around that wood.
