Timber Frame Homes

Timber Frame Homes

Timber Frame Homes are houses supported by a framework of substantial timber posts and beams. Traditional joinery or modern connectors link the structural members, while separate wall materials enclose the building. Timber Frame Homes differ from log construction because the frame carries the principal loads, allowing varied infill, visible interior timbers, and flexible relationships between structure and room layout.

Homes and Their Main Materials

Stone, brick, earth, logs and timber frames create different relationships between structural support and enclosure. Wall thickness, joints and exposed surfaces make material and workmanship visible, from solid walls to open structural frames.
