The Stokesley Architectural Joinery team had its 15 minutes of fame after being selected to work on a project filmed for Channel 4’s Grand Designs.
The programme featured a privately-owned residential conversion in Northumberland, which involved the restoration of an old milner’s cottage. The project brought the property into the present day with a contemporary design of zinc, glass and steel, balanced with rustic wooden features to complement the wider design.
Initially contracted to manufacture all the windows throughout the property, Stokesley Architectural Joinery created a range that fitted with the period of the building while also meeting modern expectations such as double glazing, security and weather resistance.
Working closely with the property owner and his architect, Philip Kendrew and the Stokesley team were able to provide invaluable advice on suitable wood types for durability, aesthetics and other key considerations.
Impressed with the workmanship and quality of Stokesley Architectural Joinery’s work on the windows, the owner went on to contract the company to produce all of the external fittings.
