The Vestra Oak solution
Working closely with the client and landscape designers, a detailed design was developed. Key considerations included:
– Timber Selection: High quality green oak, from managed European forests, was chosen to ensure no negative environmental impact was caused by this project.
– Joinery Techniques: Traditional mortise and tenon joints reinforced with oak pegs provided structural integrity and an authentic aesthetic.
– Finishing Touches: A high-quality UV-protective finish was applied to the oak to reduce silvering while preserving the wood’s rich tones.
The frame was precision-crafted off-site using traditional and modern machining techniques, allowing for efficient on-site assembly. Seating, lighting, and games area elements were installed, enhancing functionality and ambiance.
The Result
The completed gazebo seamlessly blends into the landscaped garden, offering a refined yet inviting outdoor space. The client praised the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and the ability of the structure to elevate the luxury renovation project – and they’ve already used it many times to enjoy evenings with their family and friends!
