Exceptional Quality & Timeless Beauty

Timeless, Grounded, & Personal

Crafting a home that feels timeless, grounded, and beautifully personal starts with the structure at its core. Our Residential Timber Frame Services blend old-world craftsmanship with modern precision to create spaces that are both architectural statements and enduring family legacies. Each frame is thoughtfully engineered, hand-crafted, and built to stand for generations. Whether you’re building a custom home, adding a timber-accented addition, or integrating exposed beams into an existing structure, our team guides you through a seamless, transparent, and highly collaborative process. From the first sketches to the final peg driven into place, we deliver the character, strength, and artistry that only a true timber frame can offer.

How We Help Residential Clients

Design Development

Every great timber frame begins with a strong design vision. We work closely with clients to understand their style, layout goals, and architectural needs. Our team develops detailed drawings, 3D models, and structural plans to ensure your frame is both beautiful and engineered for long-term strength. Whether you have a complete design or are starting from scratch, we bring your ideas to life with clarity and craftsmanship.

Design Development

Manufacturing

Once the design is finalized, your timber frame moves into our manufacturing phase, where raw timbers are transformed into precisely cut, handcrafted components. Using a combination of traditional joinery and advanced production methods, we ensure every mortise, tenon, and beam is cut with accuracy and artistry. Our shop-built process guarantees consistent quality, tight joinery, and exceptional structural performance.

Installation

When the frame is ready, our onsite crew assembles it with the same care used in crafting it. We coordinate directly with your builder to set schedules, plan logistics, and erect the frame efficiently and safely. Watching the structure rise is often every client’s favorite moment—within days, your home’s shape, volume, and personality come to life.
