CASE STUDY: Workshop in Henstridge
Countryside workshop with stunning views
Clay Tile Aesthetic without the Structural Load
Set against sweeping views of the Somerset countryside, this bespoke timber build serves as a dual-purpose artist’s studio, garage, and double carport.
To preserve the rustic charm of its rural surroundings and match the warm timber frame, the owners needed a roofing solution that delivered classic aesthetic appeal without the heavy structural demands of traditional clay or slate.
ONDUVILLA roof tiles were chosen in stylish shaded brown to fit in with the traditional look of the timber structure.
The Perfect Match for Timber Buildings
Creating an inspiring creative space requires an outbuilding that is warm, weatherproof, and aesthetically in harmony with its natural environment. For this multi-use structure in Henstridge, the key requirements were clear:
Traditional Aesthetics: A classic tile look that complements timber cladding and rural architecture.
Lightweight Performance: A roof system that avoids heavy load-bearing requirements on timber frames.
All-Weather Protection: Guaranteed waterproofing to protect valuable artwork, vehicles, and equipment inside.
The Solution: ONDUVILLA Roof Tiles
To achieve the desired look and long-term performance, ONDUVILLA roof tiles in Shaded Brown were specified for the entire roof structure.
