Featured Timber Frame Great Rooms

A timber frame great room is more than just a room.

It’s the nerve center, the cockpit, the living, breathing heart of the home that can define the style and feeling of the entire house.  Our designs all feature open floor plans and nowhere is this more evident than inside the great room, which often includes elements of the kitchen and dining areas.

When we design homes to use large timber components, the load typically carried by the interior walls of a traditional stick-framed house are transfered to exterior walls and timber posts.  This allows for large open spaces inside, where the great room acts as a sort of community center with few boundaries.

Lofts, when included, offer further integration by granting views down into the great room allowing that sense of community to expand upward.

Holidays filled with guests are a treat in these spaces, where there’s room to spread out without getting too far away from the action.

There’s no better spot in the home to take in the view.  

As you can see in these images, Timberbuilt great rooms are full of natural light.  One of our goals when we begin working with you is to orient your home to pull the outdoors into your living space.  We work with computer models to take advantage of sunlight and the views of your surroundings to create a home rooted in nature and integrated with the outdoors.  We create a blurred boundary between inside and out.
