About The Workshop
Shaped By The Building
We design, make and install architectural joinery and period furniture for period homes, listed buildings and traditionally designed houses across the UK. Every design starts from the proportions of the room, the joinery already there and the way the space is used day to day.
Design development, making and specialist finishing take place in our Somerset workshop, where hand skills and traditional construction are supported by CAD drawings and modern machinery. Whether the reference is Tudor, Jacobean, Georgian or Arts & Crafts, the detail is adapted to the house rather than copied from a pattern book.
