 Timber Frames are built with massive timbers and hand-crafted variations of pegged mortise-and-tenon joinery to form the framework of the building. This beautiful oak or pine frame is planed, sanded, oiled, and then left exposed on the interior of the home, creating a breathtaking effect of open spaces and craftsmanship rarely seen this century.
HearthStone can also make timber frame homes using Douglas fir and other wood species.
The exterior of the frame is covered with a highly energy-efficient blanket of foam core panels. The result is a home of unmatched beauty, value, energy efficiency, and design flexibility. Generally, the look is less rustic than a log home, yet the core skills and a reverence for wood are the same.
The timber frame system is particularly flexible when it comes to design. We use it constantly in every application from modern contemporary to modern rustic to period reproduction. We can use any species of wood, including recycled timber. We can provide a wide variation in surface finishes - from planed and oiled, to hand hewn, to WeatherAged™ - and more. And, the tremendous energy efficiency of the foam core panel technology is an often overlooked bonus.
The featured plans (shown below) are just a few of the many plans available. If you don't see just what you're looking for...feel free to contact us.
*Clients designing custom homes or commercial buildings are urged to have design work done primarily with their personal architect in consultation with our design staff.
