Timber Framing Services

If you've just begun your search for a home design, you might not have stumbled upon timber frame structures until now. You're in for a delightful surprise! As one of the most gorgeous types of luxury sustainable home designs available, timber framing regularly evokes comments such as "Wow!," " Striking!" and "Amazing!"

The Beauty of Timber Frame Structures

Timber frames are engineered with a dual purpose. They may begin as structural devices that support and sustain your house, but - in the end - they translate into a true work of art. How? Because the frame is seen on the inside of your home. With unique design elements such as open-beam ceilings, exposed timber wall supports and timber framed windows, your home takes on an elegant feel that works well with practically any décor.

Timber Framing: A Centuries-Old Craft

Thousands of years ago, the Chinese were famous for constructing extravagant post and beam homes and other buildings held together with mortise-and-tenon joints. These were some of the first timber frame structures. The Japanese used these same methods to raise temples in the 7th century that are still standing today. Needless to say, timber framing equates to quality and longevity. But it's far more than an astonishingly reliable building method. Timber frame structures allow the natural beauty of the wood to become the focal point of your home.
