Life in oak-framed buildings

Successor to the international bestseller, The charm of oak-framed buildings. Oak-framed buildings immediately attract the eye. They link the past with the present, the noblest of building traditions with a modern way of living, working and relaxation. The charm of oak-framed buildings display a number of these achievements. Following the international success of the first book, here comes the sequel: Life in oak-framed buildings.

The author, Ivo Pauwels, in his familiar, fascinating style, takes us back to the past. He brings to memory the centuries-old building techniques and the forgotten knowledge of the materials used in roof trusses, tiled and thatched roofs. In your mind’s eye you can see the old carpenters back at work. Leading photographer Jan Verlinde scouted the continent to capture the most beautiful oak-framed buildings on film.
