This white oak timber frame was raised on the north coast of Brittany during one of the windiest weeks of 2007. The frame is based on a traditional French design traditionally found in the region, and incorporates a timber framed oak staircase, complete with mortice & tenoned handrails and wedged treads. The site is spectacular and looks out over the “Pink Granite Coast”, famous for its beautiful outcroppings of rose coloured granite, used as a building material throughout Britanny. Many thanks to our clients Yannick & Kirstie for their faith, vision & great hospitality.
