Duffield Farm, Buckinghamshire
A design for new two storey oak frame house, influenced by vernacular architecture, is proposed for a woodland site. Accommodation on both floors will pivot around an oak staircase. At ground level the bathroom and snug will lie to the north; the kitchen, utility and double-height dining room to the east; the living room and sun room will face south. The living area will feature window seats and a library space defined by oak columns. Three bedrooms will be accommodated upstairs, with a study which shares glazing continuing vertically from below. The oak frame is being designed, fabricated and installed by Carpenter Oak & Woodland.
