S & E  Architecture

Info:  We start to provide full service for medium small projects. Furthermore, we offer various services from architectural design and space planning throughout the construction industry and private sector, and cover all aspects of design from small domestic projects through to large industrial and commercial.

Tandem

Info:  As architectural designers and furniture makers, we offer a unique combination of services by undertaking projects ranging from interior and architectural commissions through to the design and manufacture of contemporary eco furniture and fittings: commercial, healthcare and community projects; eco conversions, extensions and loft conversions; design for outdoor living; exhibition design; one-off commissions; eco furniture products and lighting.

Tandem was created in 2005 by Jonathan Wright, who has a background in architecture and an expertise in furniture design. It is our concept to offer a comprehensive spatial design service integrated with furniture design and manufacture. This gives us the ability to design complete environments and ensure a very high standard of finish at an affordable price, using ecologically sound materials.

The Garden Escape

Info:  Combine innovative design with the natural beauty of wood and glass; traditional materials combine with sophisticated technology to create a garden building with a difference. A home office, an elegant garden room or just a place to relax away from the house. Every Garden Escape is built by an experienced team of technicians and can be tailored to individual needs. All you have to decide is where you want it.

The Garden Escape is offsetting the CO2 emissions from our activities with Climate Care.

The Green House Project

Info:  Is an environmental building consultancy, design and construction network based in Bristol. We would like to help you improve your build environment for the better. We will help you understand your building, documenting our opinion as transparent and transferable advice; produce detailed specifications, schedules and budget estimates for your proposed works ready to put to tender.

The Treehouse Guide

Info:  Whatever your reason for building a treehouse, it must be strong and safe. You need the right tree and capable materials. The house must respect the tree, allowing it to move in the wind and to grow with minimal restriction. Pick up the techniques and tutorials so you can start your build confidently and avoid costly mistakes. Once the floor has been fixed in the tree, the house can be built in much the same way as a cabin or small shack on the ground. Almost any mature tree can be used for a treehouse and it doesn't have to cost much at all -- you just need some good ideas and the motivation to make it happen.

Welsh Oak Frame

Info:  Based in the heart of Mid Wales, Welsh Oak Frame provide traditionally built Oak Frame Homes and structures to self build clients across the country. Our years of experience designing and building authentic oak framed buildings have created homes that combine the best features of generations of traditional workmanship with the needs of modern standards of insulation, weatherproofing, layout and comfort. Our homes are based around a timber frame which may be all oak or more commonly a mixture of oak and softwood framing. Externally, the frame might be exposed with rendered infill panels or clad with stonework, brickwork or weatherboarding.

Through these methods, we can therefore offer you a high quality, cost effective structure which is quick to erect and which with the appropriate choice of roofing and cladding materials, gives you the opportunity to create a truly regional identity for your new home, blending sympathetically with the local environment and easing your way with Planning Authorities. Added to this is the benefit of the beautiful honey colour of exposed oak which adds a feeling of real quality and homeliness.

Westwind Oak Buildings

Info:  Westwind Oak Buildings Ltd specialise in the design and construction of contemporary, traditional and eco green oak framed houses, commercial wooden buildings and extensions. Timber Oak framing has been developed over the last ten centuries, by the skills of past craftsmen, and oak framing today continues the same traditional techniques, combined with modern design and construction methods to create beautiful oak houses.

Westwind Oak first came together in the mid eighties, when we combined timber framing with hardwood joinery and shipwright work. By the early nineties Westwind Oak had gained a reputation for quality bespoke projects, working for the National Trust, English Heritage and on many listed buildings. We have now established ourselves as a front runner in the construction of green oak framed buildings, both in traditional and contemporary wood designs. Much of our current projects are generated through positive referrals from past clients, pleased with the service we have provided.

Yorkon

Info:  Produces some of the most advanced modular building systems available. They are designed and manufactured under controlled conditions using the latest technology in state-of-the-art production facilities. The steel-framed buildings are fitted out in the factory before being delivered to site by road, where they are craned onto pre-prepared foundations in a matter of hours.

Up to 67 per cent less energy is required to produce a modular building compared to an equivalent traditionally built project (source: Arup Research and Development). The insulation materials used in the walls, roof and floor of Yorkon buildings have an ODP (Ozone Depleting Potential) of zero – minimising their impact on the environment.

Reduced noise and pollution: there are up to 90 per cent fewer vehicle movements (source: Mtech), which mean less environmental pollution because of reduced vehicle mileage. Noise and dust levels on site are also minimised.

Less waste: material useage in the factory is minimised by the careful design and procurement of materials, reducing the amount of waste generated both on and off site. More than 60 per cent of waste is recycled in the production centre, and the cost of waste sent to landfill has been reduced by more than 50 per cent over the last three years.
