TIMBER FRAME HOMES
Florida Timber Frame Services
Timberbuilt designs and builds energy-efficient, architecturally distinct timber frame homes across North America, and we’re proud to offer our services throughout Florida. We provide customizable designs, timber framing, and on-site assembly to create beautiful homes that are sustainable, comfortable, and engineered to last generations.
Florida’s stunning coastline, subtropical landscapes, and vibrant cities make it a compelling setting for timber frame homes that blend beauty, resilience, and energy efficiency.
Whether you’re dreaming of a beachside retreat in the Panhandle, a lakefront cabin in Central Florida, or a modern coastal home in the Gulf Coast or Atlantic regions, a timber frame home can be an ideal fit for the Sunshine State.
Designs for Florida’s Landscapes and Style
Florida’s diverse landscapes inspire a variety of architectural styles, each suited to the state’s distinct regions.
Our designs work well on beachfront or waterfront lots along the coasts. In areas like Naples, Tampa, and the Miami metro, elevated, hurricane-resistant timber frames often include large, shaded porches and are built with durable materials.
Resilience and style are equal priorities — picture your timber-framed beach house with deep overhangs, expansive decks, and large windows to catch ocean breezes—perfect for coastal living without compromising on strength.
In Central Florida, near lakes or forested areas like Ocala National Forest, our homes can take on a cabin or lodge style, with natural wood finishes, exposed beams, and wrap-around porches. Layouts are always flexible and oriented to integrate with the landscape, allowing you to create a peaceful retreat that celebrates Florida’s inland beauty.
In suburban areas near Orlando, Jacksonville, or Sarasota, we can blend contemporary style with natural elements, balancing timber accents with modern finishes. Whether you prefer a sleek, minimalist design or a home with rustic charm, Timberbuilt’s flexible options fit seamlessly into Florida’s vibrant neighborhoods, with features like open-concept layouts, cathedral ceilings, and large windows that capture the sunlight and natural beauty surrounding the home.
FEATURED FLORIDA PROJECTS
A few recent projects from Florida include our work in Babcock Ranch. Developers in this solar-powered city chose Timberbuilt because our homes are not just beautiful but extremely energy efficient.
Energy Efficient In Florida’s Climate
Florida’s climate presents challenges with its hot, humid summers, mild winters, and intense sun.
We design our homes to be energy efficient, using structural insulated panels (SIPs) to create an airtight, highly insulated building envelope that keeps your living space comfortable despite the heat and humidity.
In coastal and southern regions, where summer temperatures and humidity peak, SIPs prevent heat gain by blocking hot air from seeping in and reducing the load on air conditioning systems. This tight, energy-efficient barrier, keeps cool air inside and minimizes indoor humidity—a significant benefit in Florida’s often steamy conditions.
This airtight construction also helps improve indoor air quality, preventing mold and reducing allergens, an essential feature for maintaining a healthy home in humid climates.
Engineered To Last
Florida’s environment demands homes that can withstand humidity, heat, and occasional severe weather.
Timberbuilt homes are designed with these factors in mind, combining solid timber frames and SIPs for structures that stand strong against the elements. In hurricane-prone areas, especially along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic, our homes are built to endure high winds and intense storms. The solid timber construction provides natural resistance to wind, and elevated foundations can be added to protect against flooding in low-lying coastal zones.
With their energy efficiency, durability, and adaptability, a timber frame home can be an excellent choice for Florida’s diverse regions. From beach houses to lakefront retreats, they bring lasting value and beauty to the Sunshine State.
