A Sourcing Trip to Ireland

We were so excited to be in Ireland sourcing materials for the Oast House. After visiting a few Antiques and Artifacts yards we ventured into Dublin where we dicovered an incredible yard full of reclaimed timber. Some of it was unbelievably thick we were in timber heaven.







How many chairs?

The Cladding to The Oast House has begun

The Oast House site is starting to take shape as the new walkway from The Avenue to the new shopping mall 'The Avenue North' is now complete, ahead of the long awaited opening. 

With the roofers and finishing joiners arriving on site the wait is over as the cladding begins to the superstructure of The Oast House giving passers by an idea of its size and form.  

Planting troughs are formed to create a more intimate alfresco dining experence for the new Oast House.
