An oak-framed pool house set within a walled garden, designed for cooking and entertaining beside the water. Goose carried this one from architectural technical design through to the oak frame itself, drawing the structure, then making it.

The frame is built the traditional way: draw-bored mortise-and-tenon joints, pegged rather than bolted, with braces running from each post up to the roof. A single-pitch roof spans the structure, its oak rafters and boarded soffit left exposed so the timber is read from beneath, closed at the eaves with a metal capping and concealed gutter. Open along its front, the building looks out across a paved terrace to the pool, set against the brick-and-flint walls of the garden. Inside, the plan is arranged around an open fireplace for cooking, a small kitchen to one side and a large dining area for entertaining. Final images coming soon.
