Timber Frame Extension

Geraldine Purser & Brian Healy, Penegoes | 2008

Invited by self-builders Geraldine and Brian, Craftedspace was commissioned to design an extension that complimented their original timber frame house.

Providing full architectural drawings we created a design to satisfy the lifestyle of the family. The master bedroom has an internal balcony providing both privacy and direct connection to the garden and woods beyond. The large downstairs kitchen benefits from glazing to all orientations and a light well over the dining room table.

We designed the timber frame to maximize space within the roof void and heating and hot water demands are entirely met by a solid fuel burner and solar hot water panels.

Geraldine managed the project, using a timber framing contractor and ME Construction who provided the groundworks, first fix, services and roofing. Geraldine herself undertook the second fix carpentry and joinery, making the windows, doors and cabinetry throughout, ensuring an exceptional home completed to a beautifully crafted standard.
