ABOUT US

ABOUT US

We at Magna Oak design, handcraft and raise traditionally jointed 'Green' Oak and Douglas Fir framed structures of both vernacular and contemporary style for bespoke new houses and extensions, outbuildings, porches and other projects.

 

All our frames are designed and carefully crafted in our Somerset workshop, using mainly freshly sawn ('Green') European Oak and Douglas Fir, which we source without exception from PEFC or FSC certified and accredited sawmills.

 

We strive to create exciting and ecologically sustainable structures whilst combining time-proven skills of traditional craftsmanship with modern and efficient processes.

​

To date, we have supplied and raised structural frames locally around the cities of Bristol and Bath, for projects throughout the UK and as far afield as Switzerland, Germany and southern France.

​

Our personal approach to each project ensures continuity and good communication with our clients and guarantees flexibility at every stage from concept to completion.

​

We recommend to get in touch with us as soon as possible in the design process, so that we can assist you and your architect with the initial design concepts and help to explore some of the beautiful and varied features that a 'Green' Oak or Douglas Fir framed structure will contribute to your scheme.
