Meet Janet & Richard Deacon
After buying an old 1950s house on a stunning plot, Richard and Janet Deacon visited one of Oakwrights’ show homes and fell in love with the character and space that comes with this kind of build. They engaged Oakland Vale – an independent architect who has close ties to Oakwrights – and together, they designed a modern, open-plan home with oak beams that zoned off various areas, such as the kitchen and lounge. Taking just 54 weeks, including the demolition of the original house, Richard and Janet's oak frame home is not only perfect for their current needs, but offers flexible living spaces, too, rendering it futureproof.
