A niche in architecture, a craft and our passion
Timber Frame architecture dates back centuries – and should last centuries. An heirloom.
We will work with your existing timber frame building – be it a home or a barn or a loft space
We will design new custom timber frame structures for you – down to the peg detail, or to your builder’s requirements
All previously outlined aspects of the project apply to these structures – be it for a home, a barn, or a mass-timber complex
In addition to the standard process, we develop the timber frame designs into working “shop drawings” for your manufacturer/builder to complete the pieces as designed.
