BUILT WITH CARE. DESIGNED FOR YOU

Designed to suit Devon homes and surroundings

There are plenty of companies that will build you a garden room. Very few will build you your garden room.

Devon is home to a wide range of property styles, from rural and coastal homes to village houses, barn conversions and more contemporary properties. Every oak building we design is bespoke, allowing us to respond to the setting, the scale of the home and the character of the surrounding landscape.

For some properties, this may mean a more traditional oak design that complements an older or more rural home. For others, it may mean a cleaner and simpler structure that works beautifully alongside a more modern property. Our aim is always to create a building that feels balanced, well considered and completely at home in its setting.

Planning Permission and Building Regulations in Devon

Planning requirements can vary depending on the type of oak building, its size, its location, and whether the property is listed or within a conservation area or protected setting. Building regulations may also apply depending on the design and intended use of the structure.

We can help guide you through the early stages of the process, helping you understand the likely requirements for your project and how they may influence the final design.

A bespoke approach from first enquiry to finished building

Every project begins with a conversation about your home, your ideas and how you want the building to work for you. From there, we develop a design that reflects your property, your priorities and the level of finish you want to achieve.

Our goal is always to create oak buildings that offer lasting quality, timeless character and practical value, while enhancing the way you use your home.
