The Art of Timber Frame ConstructionThe art of timber framing has been around for thousands of years. It was the primary way homes were constructed from the early centuries AD in both Europe and the Orient. Early civilizations built this way because timber frame homes don’t just last a lifetime—they last generations. From large barns in the countryside to the family homes in the coastal villages of New England, solid beams and peg and socket joinery created the bones of buildings that would last centuries.Timber Frame is a refined wood building style that utilizes heavy timbers with interlocking wood-to-wood, mortise and tenon joinery and fasteners rather than nails, screws, or metalwork. Unlike conventional stud framing that’s most common today, timber frame homes leave the timber post and beam supports exposed to be seen and admired, creating an architectural element that often blends in with its natural environment. Not only are timber frames aesthetically beautiful, but you also get the very best of structural soundness. With the technology we have today, we go even further in creating precision-crafted joinery that is solid, stable, and of lasting beauty.
