Timber Frame Structures
Our timber frame barns, outbuildings and outdoor living structures offer lasting architectural beauty, natural strength, and a connection to a heritage craft that elevates your landscape. We bring a timeless approach to your property with timber structures that are precision-built, and will last for generations.

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 1970s, and that legacy continues to be an important aspect of our building systems over 50 years later.

Barns & Outbuildings

The timber frame has been used to build barns for centuries. The sturdy, open spans, and unobstructed floor plans 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.

Outdoor Living Structures

Timber frame pavilions, pergolas, and gazebos 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 outdoor living structures define and weave a sense of architectural harmony across your landscape.

Elevate Your Landscape

In a timber frame structure you remain seamlessly connected to the surrounding landscape, fresh air, and natural light. We craft our timber frame structures using sustainably sourced heavy timbers and precision mortise-and-tenon joinery, forming a gathering space that merges with your landscape. A timber frame structure creates an inviting sanctuary that elevates any site and naturally draws people together.
