A home should adapt, age, and grow with its inhabitants. We find designing
structures that work this way is both a challenging and an exhilarating process.FIRST FLOORSECOND FLOORWho designs our homes?
We believe in the value of the custom architectural process.
Whether we work with your chosen architect, or our own
architectural staff, we collaborate to incorporate the nuances
of timber framing in your project. Each of our clients has a
different lifestyle and vision—a custom design improves the
home’s relationship to you, the site, and the budget.
What kind of wood do we use?
Our favorite, and what we’re known for, is reclaimed timber
salvaged from old industrial or agrarian structures. We also
offer freshly harvested species from well-managed forests.
Who will raise the timber frame and install
the enclosure?
The same craftsmen that cut your frame will raise and
generally install the enclosure system for your project. Our
experience adds to the safety, accuracy, and efficiency of
building your home.
Does a timber frame cost more?
We think you should budget up to 20% more than a
conventionally built home; however the lifetime costs of an
efficiently built timber home are usually less. We also find
total costs can be comparable to high quality custom homes.
Many of our homes require less square footage, allowing
more of the budget to be used for quality and insulation.
