In 2019 Alan Coad, a Software Executive, bought a Roderick James Architects designed oak framed home that Carpenter Oak had built and raised the frame for in 2004.

Being passionate about woodworking, Alan had an instant appreciation for the craftsmanship involved. Once he’d settled in his new home, Alan got in touch with us to add a pergola to the property, creating an outdoor dining space.

Within the home’s boundaries there was also an old barn, so when Alan started a project to replace it with a usable space, he came to us.
