Oak-frame architect profile DPDS Architecture Limited

DPDS Architecture has a thorough understanding of the design and construction of oak-frame buildings, realising exciting contemporary and traditional design responses for a variety of new buildings, conversions and extensions.

DPDS Architecture’s belief in oak-framed building solutions is generated by not only their sustainability but importantly by their highly attractive aesthetic. Oak-frame homes, be they new buildings, conversions or extensions, offer an individuality and quality defined by material and workmanship matched with an intrinsic character that is timeless.

The practice’s process of design for an oak-frame building commences with early dialogue with the clients to understand their needs and aspirations. It develops through the preparation of sketch schemes exploring different frame options and design responses. DPDS Architecture seeks early participation of the local planning authority and through this consultation reaches an understanding of not only constraints but also opportunities to development.

DPDS Architecture is highly experienced in works to all grades of historic listed buildings, projects within conservation areas and Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The practice is able to demonstrate success in alterations and extensions to buildings whose historic fabric presents challenges to conventional design responses.

DPDS Architecture fully acknowledges that visualising oak-framed proposals can be daunting so the practice provides 3D artist impressions both internally and externally to assist clients in understanding the proposals as they evolve.

Once a preferred scheme option is identified DPDS Architecture develops proposals addressing points of detail, including exposed truss design, bracing configurations, glazing and door details, together with heating and lighting.

As a chartered architectural practice registered with the Royal Institute of British Architects, DPDS Architecture offers a full professional service from initial design to project completion or can tailor the practice’s involvement and services to suit a client’s particular requirements.
