TIMBER FRAME HOMES
Oregon Timber Frame Services
Timberbuilt designs and builds sustainable, architecturally distinct timber frame homes across North America, and we’re proud to offer our services throughout Oregon.
We provide customizable designs, timber framing, and on-site assembly to create beautiful homes that are energy efficient, comfortable, and engineered to last generations.
Oregon’s diverse geography—from the misty coastlines and dense forests of the west to the arid high deserts of the east—offers an ideal backdrop for Timberbuilt’s sustainable timber frame homes.
Whether you’re building a coastal retreat near Cannon Beach, a modern home in Portland’s suburbs, or a mountain cabin in Bend, a timber frame home is perfectly suited to Oregon’s varying climates and landscapes.
Designs for Oregon’s Landscapes and Style
Oregon is known for its natural beauty, and our homes are designed to embrace it.
In the western part of the state, near Portland, Eugene, and the coast, you can take full advantage of the Pacific Northwest’s iconic evergreen forests and coastal views.
Our designs feature large windows and open floor plans that bring the outdoors in, while wraparound porches and covered decks provide spaces to enjoy the region’s temperate climate year-round.
In mountainous regions like Bend, our homes excel on sloped lots, offering features like walkout basements and expansive decks that allow you to live in harmony with the landscape. Whether it’s a rustic lodge or a modern cabin, our homes can be customized to blend with the natural surroundings, from rugged mountain peaks to serene riversides.
Eastern Oregon’s high desert presents a different kind of beauty, with wide-open spaces and dramatic skies. Homes designed for this region often reflect a minimalist, modern aesthetic, with clean lines and simple finishes that complement the expansive landscape.
TIMBERBUILT IN OREGON
These images were captured during the construction phase of a few recent Timberbuilt projects in Oregon. The homes were designed to be extremely energy efficient and comfortable through weather extremes.
Energy Efficient In Oregon’s Climate
Oregon’s climate varies significantly from the wet, mild conditions on the coast to the dry, hot summers and cold winters of the eastern part of the state.
Timberbuilt homes are designed to be energy efficient, using structural insulated panels (SIPs) to create a tight, well-insulated building envelope that keeps homes comfortable year-round.

Homes in regions like Portland and the Willamette Valley can benefit from the airtightness of SIPs, which helps reduce energy costs during wet, cool winters while keeping indoor air quality high. The insulation also ensures that your home remains comfortable without relying heavily on heating systems, even when the rain falls for days on end.
If you’re building near cities like Bend or Burns, where summer highs can soar and winter nights dip below freezing, you can benefit from the energy-saving properties of SIPs, which help maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce the strain on HVAC systems.
Engineered For Oregon
Oregon’s varied landscapes bring a mix of environmental challenges, from heavy snowfall in the mountains to occasional wildfire risks in the drier eastern regions. Timberbuilt homes are designed to endure these conditions with their robust timber frame construction and airtight SIPs.
Timberbuilt homes are engineered to withstand heavy snow loads in the mountains, where towns like Government Camp receive over 200 inches of snow annually.
For new builds in the more fire-prone areas of eastern Oregon, a timber and panel home offers increased fire resistance. Timber frame construction, with its large, slow-burning timbers, provides natural protection, while the airtight SIPs help keep homes safe from smoke infiltration.
Whether you’re building in the forests of the Cascades, along the coast, or in the high desert, Timberbuilt homes are designed to last. Our timber frame homes combine strength, sustainability, and beauty, making them a great choice for Oregon’s diverse environments and climate challenges.
