“It was great working with Buckland Timber. They really understood the design intent ensuring that the finished building was beautifully crafted, and afforded the timeless look which exposed timber interiors impart.”
– Marty McColl – UP Architects, London

Buckland Timber worked closely with Marty McColl of UP Architects to realise this vision for a simple and cost-effective glulam framed extension structure.

This project was driven by a young family’s need for more space after they decided they wanted to stay in the house they lived in rather than move to a bigger property. Buckland Timber coordinated the off-site construction of the glulam frame and roofing structure, transportation and on-site installation of the building’s glulam framework.
