Vaulted oak pool house with internal gallery

Sussex couple build a large bespoke oak framed garage to use as carport and storage space, as well as guest accommodation.

Vertical spaces feel luxurious and one would struggle to find those opposed to vaulted roofs and feature oak trusses. There is simply something that draws us towards the vast expanse of space and the warmth of timber.

Open pools can be off-putting in the infamous British climate. But a Somerset couple make use of theirs every day of the year, thanks to the oak framed pool house.

Glazed oak structure replaces an old conservatory and gives this period cottage a much-desired family space, flooded with daylight.
