A look at some of our recent work, from reclaimed oak beams and flooring to feature walls and custom-made pieces. Each project highlights the timeless character of reclaimed oak, the craftsmanship behind every detail, and the warmth it brings to a finished space.

Patagonia Store

Queenstown

Patagonia’s Queenstown store features Antique European Oak reclaimed from historic European structures. The timber was used for feature beams, the front counter, shelving, and framed detailing throughout the space.

The joinery was executed by Masterwood Joinery. The result is a retail interior defined by material depth, surface character, and a considered approach to sustainable design.
