40 TIMBER HOME LIVING October 2019Greg and Sandra Teslia’s home
located on the Tennessee Cumber-
land Plateau is a testament to the
versatility of timber frame construc-
tion. Approaching from the front,
the three-story house appears to be
a modest single-story dwelling with
a three-bay garage. Entrance doors
into the home’s heavy-timber center
are made of iron and hurricane-rated
glass, while Hardie Board and stone
offer a low-maintenance exterior.
