Warmth
Natural material
Timber gives the compact spaces a comfortable residential quality.
Oakums build no. 17
Three Little Birds
A concise visual story showing how Oakums brings warmth, storage and individual character into a compact interior.
The visual story
A smaller gallery with a clear design story.
Three Little Birds is represented by four distinct photographs, each chosen for the way it reveals the fitted interior rather than to fill space. Warm joinery, practical storage and comfortable seating create a boat with an easy, personal character.
Even within a concise record, the Oakums discipline is visible: furniture follows the proportions of the hull, useful storage is built in and materials repeat enough to connect the rooms. It is a reminder that a strong commission is defined by decisions, not by the size of its photo gallery.
Design in detail
An individual boat, held together by one clear idea.
The photographs show how colour, light, fitted joinery and practical decisions work together. The choices belong to this commission; the same design discipline can be taken in a completely different direction for your own Oakums.
What the photographs reveal
Character with purpose.
A beautiful boat still needs to support cooking, relaxing, storage, movement and life on the water.
Planning
Every view earns its place
The gallery focuses on genuinely different spaces and details.
Individuality
Built around its owner
The choices belong to this boat and provide inspiration rather than a template.
Selected photographs
A considered record of the build.
Each page uses up to ten genuinely different photographs, selected to reveal the rooms, materials and craftsmanship without repeating the same view. Only facts confirmed by Oakums are included.
A starting point for your own brief
Take the inspiration, not the template.
Every photograph can prompt a useful conversation about proportion, materials, lighting or storage. Oakums will use those preferences to create a coherent boat around your own priorities rather than reproducing somebody else's interior.
