A Vision for Light and Connection

Silchester Farm, near Reading, is a renowned wedding venue set in the heart of the countryside. Known for combining rustic charm with refined finishes, the venue has recently expanded its guest accommodation, introducing a collection of timber-clad lodges designed to complement the wider estate.

The brief was clear: to create spaces that immerse guests in nature while providing the comfort and quality expected at such a prestigious venue. To achieve this, the OB-36+ in Jet Black was chosen for its ability to maximise natural light, frame idyllic views, and enhance the lodge architecture with a refined steel-look finish.

Why Origin?

Silchester Farm turned to Freedom Bespoke, a premium Origin partner with a reputation for delivering projects that demand both precision and style. The OB-36+ offered the perfect solution, combining high performance with timeless design, ensuring every guest’s experience is elevated from the moment they step inside.

The choice of Jet Black frames was particularly impactful, offering a crisp, architectural edge against the natural warmth of the curved timber façades.

The Details That Make the Difference

Inside the lodges, the OB-36+ doors create a seamless flow between the interiors and the landscaped surroundings, ensuring that natural light and countryside views form the backdrop to every stay. The slim steel-look sightlines provide a boutique finish in keeping with Silchester Farm’s high standards for weddings and private events.

Practicality was just as important as design. The aluminium frames deliver exceptional thermal efficiency, smooth operation and long-lasting durability, essential qualities for a venue that welcomes hundreds of guests each year.

The Result: Rural Charm with Modern Precision

The completed lodges are a natural extension of Silchester Farm’s offering as a wedding venue, providing couples and guests with accommodation that is both inviting and visually striking. The pairing of rustic timber with sleek black aluminium has created a look that is authentic, contemporary and entirely in keeping with the venue’s ethos of blending old with new.
