Events
We love getting out and about to showcase our work and meet anyone embarking on their own project. Meeting us at one of our shows is the best way to talk us through your plans, get expert advice and gain inspiration for your oak framed house, extension, renovation, cabin, annex or other outbuilding.
As well as shows across the UK, Carpenter Oak run a number of Open House events throughout the year, which have proven extremely popular with anyone wanting to see a structural timber-framed house up close and speak to the homeowners and the people behind the build.
Here’s where you’ll find us over the coming months, if you want to make an appointment to meet us at any of these events, email hello@carpenteroak.com.

About the project you will be visiting
This project involves various different elements to create multigenerational living within the home by converting and extending an existing carport and adding an extension and a link building. The extension includes an L shaped veranda wrapping around the corner of the building and the overall look and feel will create a courtyard reminiscent of a farmstead. The project has been designed by our in-house architect - you can see their 3D designs below.
