Time out. Thinking in nature and appreciating the sun. (And remembering that not long ago it was warm enough to sit in the grass with bare arms!)

Oak frame details... adding that extra touch of the natural world inside whilst making the most of the light and the surroundings. That's what we love doing.

We cannot recommend more highly the power of nature. Throw some leaves, go for a walk, embrace the sunshine filtering through the trees. We try to bring all these elements into each of our #builds through #biophilic design.

We're proud of the craftsmanship in our house builds. There's more to life than automating everything and we will continue to appreciate traditional skills whilst making homes that work for our modern lives.

Living Oak was born in 2010 when our founder's passion for creating oak frame spaces – which bring families together and evokes emotional wellbeing at home – came to fruition. Stuart first felt this phenomenon when he extended his own home with an oak frame. Subsequently, he found his understanding of the tangible emotional benefits he and his family had experienced was also something felt by his clients as he worked on various development projects with them. This led Stuart to bring his idea of Living Oak to life. The company is a thriving example of how the passion of one can expand and touch the lives of many, creating harmony in their living spaces.

“In every walk with nature one receives far more

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than one seeks.”
- John Muir, 19 July 1877

We believe the same is true of incorporating nature (or #biophilicdesign) into your homes.

I'm getting ahead of myself but autumn is definite

I'm getting ahead of myself but autumn is definitely on its way. I love it (although, to be fair, I love all seasons... especially the promise of them just before they actually arrive). This image sums up some of the things I love most about autumn including the light, the colours and the atmosphere. All of these are things that we also consider in our #oakframedbuildings too.

There's something special about the planning stage

There's something special about the planning stages of a new home. Maybe your strength is in knowing how to utilise space to its full advantage, or perhaps you can easily visualise the way that a building should look. We like to combine both of these with a deep understanding of the connection that a building should have with its natural environment. Whatever your strength is, we'd love to be involved in helping you make that dream a reality.
