A large prefab timberframe home in Upstate New York designed by Alfandre Architecture. Faced with a significant technical challenge, Alfandre Architecture and its construction company, EcoBuilders, teamed up with Bensonwood to engineer and fabricate this 7,000 sq ft. home. Large span glulam timbers provide the frame for the insulated shell of the house and the 2,000 sq ft. indoor pool. The contemporary home has many amenities including a spa, sauna, meditation room and home theater.
