Embracing the outdoors with Oak West Camel, Somerset

A striking pool house with rustic charm

At the heart of the outdoor transformation is the external pool house, a large stone structure that opens out through expansive glazed doors to a stunning pool area. To bring warmth and contrast to the solid stonework, we supplied our oak feather edge cladding, applied to portions of the external façade. The natural texture and grain of the oak introduce a rustic softness and visual balance, while complementing the surrounding landscape.

Inside the pool house is nothing short of spectacular. The open-plan interior features three magnificent, exposed oak trusses that define the vaulted ceiling, giving the space a grand, architectural quality. With designated zones for a cooking, dining, and relaxing, this room is a dynamic, multifunctional space designed for year-round enjoyment.

Craftsmanship that connects

This was a long and thoughtfully developed project, and the results speak for themselves. Each element – from the robust trusses of the pool house to the simple elegance of the pergola – demonstrates the timeless appeal and versatility of oak. We’re delighted to have worked with the owners to provide materials that play a key role in shaping such a welcoming and well-balanced collection of outdoor living areas.

West Camel House is a showcase of how traditional materials can be used in creative and contemporary ways to elevate a property. The oak elements bring warmth, strength, and natural beauty, anchoring each space within its rural Somerset setting.
