Glenreagh Hardwood Roof
Our clients for this project in Glenreagh, northwest of Coffs Habour, were looking for a special something to add to their retirement home. The brief was to design and build a feature roof frame, with glazed gables that would form an eye-catching centrepiece for the home.
Working closely with our clients, we designed a roof frame that incorporated king post trusses, with a central cross to the roof that would be highlighted by double purlins intersecting throughout the middle of the home. We designed the components specifically for the chosen timber, choosing to go with a locally sourced Australian hardwood found naturally in the Coffs Habour region.
The trusses were constructed using traditional joinery methods by our talented craftsmen over a number of weeks, the completed frames were then trucked from our Marulan yard to the Glenreagh building site and craned into place atop the waiting standard pine framework.
This hardwood frame made a stunning feature of traditional craftsmanship to this beautiful contemporary home, and we’re looking forward to seeing the results of the completed build to share with you when they’re available.
