DESIGNER & CONSTRUCTOR OF HANDCRAFTED OAK FRAME BUILDINGS
Award-Winning, Bespoke Oak Framed Buildings
From Dorset
Loosehanger Oak designs and builds bespoke, oak-framed buildings and extensions. All of our structures are hand-crafted in traditional ways and offer an exemplary level of quality and attention to detail. We have built a vast array of oak structures since we constructed our first oak building in 2004. Since then, we have worked on a wide range of oak-frame projects across the South of England. In each case, we have always aimed to exceed rather than just meeting expectations. We are dedicated to quality, and passionate about the high-quality materials we use and work that we do.

How We Work
Loosehanger Oak offers a bespoke service for oak construction. We undertake the entire process, overseeing everything from beginning to end and taking care of all elements of each project. We do not offer kits or frame-only options – our personal, hands-on approach means that each project that we undertake is utterly unique. We understand that every project is different, and are uniquely positioned to tailor all elements to meet our clients’ specific needs and desires.

Biophilic Design with Traditional Oak Framing
In an age of high-speed technology and constant connectivity, many of us crave something simpler: spaces that reconnect us with the rhythms of the natural world. That’s the essence of biophilic design: creating buildings that strengthen our relationship with nature. Few building methods embody this philosophy as naturally as traditional oak framing. With its tactile materials, generous proportions, and deep connection to the outdoors, oak framing is the perfect choice for nature lovers.
Designing Bespoke Oak Studios: Creative Spaces That Inspire
An oak-framed studio that instantly changes how you feel when you step inside.

Maintaining Oak-Framed Structures: Summer Care Tips
Oak-framed buildings possess a rare kind of beauty. Their presence in the landscape evokes continuity, craftsmanship, and an enduring respect for natural materials. Whether newly built or standing proud after many seasons, these structures deserve a thoughtful, sustainable approach to maintenance—particularly in summer, when nature is both most generous and most demanding. Maintenance need not be intrusive or wasteful. Indeed, with a little foresight and gentle stewardship, your oak-framed structure can thrive for generations—weathering gracefully, settling into its surroundings, and continuing to support the rhythms of daily life.
