Westonbirt, Big Shed Superstructure
Charley Brentnall and Carpenter Oak and Woodland have been appointed by Westonbirt Arboretum to build the new 600m2 workshop, which has 20 m spans that use Corsican Pine grown on site in continuous lengths for the bottom truss chords. Naturally, all the other timber comes from the site too.

Watchet – Lookout Tower
We’ve been refining various aspects of the East Quay scheme at Watchet, Somerset for the Onion Collective CIC, including the ‘Walk to the Sky’ lookout tower which contains studios for visitors and resident artists to stay in, and a publicly accessible series of lookout platforms. It is a kind of vertical pier – in a coastal landscape rich with the history of existing whimsical coastal structures including Clevedon Pier and Burnham on Sea.
