TIMBER FRAME HOMES
Idaho Timber Frame Services
Timberbuilt designs and builds architecturally distinct, energy-efficient timber frame homes across the continent, and we’re proud to offer our services throughout Idaho.
We provide customizable designs, timber framing, and on-site assembly to create beautiful homes that are sustainable, comfortable, and engineered to last generations.
Idaho’s diverse natural beauty, from the rugged peaks of the Sawtooth Range to the vast plains and peaceful lakes, makes it an ideal place for Timberbuilt’s sustainable, energy-efficient homes.
Whether you’re planning a mountain retreat near Sun Valley, a lakeside cabin on Coeur d’Alene, or a modern home in Boise’s suburbs, a timber frame home is perfectly suited to Idaho’s varied landscapes and climate.
Designs for Idaho’s Landscapes & Style
Idaho offers a wide variety of residential settings, and Timberbuilt homes are designed to take full advantage of the state’s scenic beauty.
In the mountainous regions of central Idaho, around towns like Ketchum and Stanley, our homes can complement the dramatic landscapes with open floor plans, expansive windows, and natural materials that blend seamlessly with the surrounding forests and alpine views. Walkout basements are ideal for sloped lots, offering additional living space while preserving the rugged terrain.
For those building in northern Idaho, near the picturesque lakes of Coeur d’Alene or Sandpoint, our designs can provide a stunning lakeside retreat. With large decks and porches that allow for outdoor living and plenty of windows to capture the views of the water and surrounding mountains, we can collaborate to create a perfect balance between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty.
In southern Idaho, where cities like Boise and Twin Falls offer a mix of urban and rural settings, you can adapt your design to fit more modern or traditional tastes. Whether you’re looking for a contemporary home with sleek timber accents or a classic design inspired by Idaho’s rich agricultural heritage, we offer the flexibility to suit your style and location.
Energy Efficient Across Idaho’s Climate
Idaho’s climate spans from snowy winters in the mountains to hot, dry summers in the southern plains, making energy efficiency crucial. Our homes, built with structural insulated panels (SIPs), deliver year-round comfort while keeping energy use low, regardless of location.
In Idaho’s colder mountain areas, such as Stanley where winter temperatures drop to 0°F, our designs minimize heat loss, cutting energy costs. The airtight SIPs create a well-insulated envelope that maintains warmth through long winters, ideal for snowy regions like Sun Valley, which averages over 100 inches of snow annually.
In southern Idaho’s hot, dry regions, such as Boise, where summer highs often exceed 90°F, our SIP construction prevents excessive heat gain, reducing the need for air conditioning. This airtight design keeps interiors cool and energy-efficient, providing a comfortable environment even during peak summer heat.
In northern Idaho, where temperatures can vary greatly, our homes maintain energy efficiency year-round, keeping heating and cooling costs low while ensuring consistent indoor comfort.
Engineered To Last
Idaho’s rugged environment requires homes that can stand up to the elements. Timberbuilt homes are engineered to endure Idaho’s environmental challenges, from the deep snows of the mountains to the high winds and dry conditions of the southern plains.
In the mountainous regions of central and northern Idaho, such as the Sawtooth Range and the areas surrounding Coeur d’Alene, homes are designed to handle heavy snow loads. For example, Sun Valley receives over 100 inches of snow each winter, and we engineer homes to withstand these conditions with strong timber frames that support the weight of snow while maintaining structural integrity.
In drier, windier regions of southern Idaho, our homes offer resilience against the elements. The solid timber frame construction, combined with airtight SIPs, provides strength and stability, ensuring that your home stands up to the gusty winds and dry, shifting conditions common to areas like Twin Falls.
Additionally, in forested areas prone to wildfires, such as northern Idaho, Timberbuilt homes offer natural fire resistance through the use of large, slow-burning timbers and tightly sealed SIPs that help keep homes safe from smoke and fire damage.
No matter where you build in Idaho, our homes are designed to last, providing durability, energy efficiency, and a deep connection to the state’s breathtaking natural surroundings. From lakeside retreats to mountain lodges, we offer a blend of beauty and resilience, making our timber frame homes ideal for Idaho’s unique environments.
