Beauty, Function & Strength 

The architectural honesty of timber framing reveals and celebrates the beauty and integrity of the structure. Tedd Benson’s books, and our company’s pioneering work played a key role in the U.S. revival of this time-honored building method starting in the 1970’s, and that legacy continues to be an important aspect of our building systems over 50 years later.

Tradition Meets Precision

Today, our cutting-edge systems combine the precision of 6-axis CNC robotics with the soul of mortise and tenon joinery. This allows for unparalleled accuracy, faster construction, and less onsite disruption. Your vision, whether it's a rustic carriage-style barn or a pool-side pavilion, is brought to life with meticulous attention to detail and an unwavering commitment to structures that endure for centuries.

Barns

The timber frame has been used to build barns for centuries. The sturdy, open spans, and unobstructed floorplans are highly suited for agricultural purposes, equipment storage, studios, workshops, and gathering spaces. We will design a timber frame building customized to meet your needs – achieving the ultimate combination of form and function that will stand the test of time.

Accessory Buildings

Timber frame pavilions, porches and port cocheres can significantly extend your living space to the outdoors. They make perfect gathering places for family and friends and convenient transitional spaces providing protection from inclement weather. Our outbuildings are designed with the same attention to detail and high standards you have come to expect from Bensonwood.
