Custom Timber Frame Home: Modern Old World Charm

Historic yet modern, your new custom timber frame home offers the best of both worlds. Anchored in antiquity, the construction reflects a timeless architectural form, while the exposed beams and posts express a distinctly modern 21st century elegance. Timber frame homes are uniquely customizable as well; they boast flexible design options and are uniquely suited to open floor plans. Due to the strength and length of the timbers in a vertical and horizontal framework, the frame bears all the weight of the structure, removing the need for interior load-bearing walls and making soaring cathedral ceilings possible. The frame is wrapped with structural insulated panels (SIPs), spanning the spaces between the individual timbers, adding superior insulation capability. By using a variety of wood species, spacing, finishes and design, the homeowner is able to vary the look from room to room, to create a stunningly beautiful, energy efficient home.

The Inner Beauty of a Custom Timber Frame Home

The real hidden beauty of a timber frame home is its strength – the structure and joinery hidden beneath the surface. The structural skeleton of a true timber frame home is the timber frame itself. The frame’s strength relies on the expertise of the craftsman, integrity of the materials used, tight fitting joinery, and critical geometry; because mechanical fasteners weren’t commercially available in years past, and had to be made by hand, original timber home design relied on driving wood pegs into holes to create strong connections in the framing elements. Today, those old-world construction methods still stand up to the test of time.
