At Carpenter Oak, we were proud to play a key role in the creation of the new Community Haveli at Bhaktivedanta Manor, a significant centre of worship and celebration for the Hindu community in Hertfordshire and across the UK. Working alongside Cottrell & Vermeulen Architecture, we were commissioned to cut and erect the bespoke oak frame, which forms both the structural skeleton and a defining visual feature of this two-storey building.
