timber frame houses

Timber houses are characterised by a frame made of massive posts and beams that are connected together using pegs or other forms of ornamental joinery. It is common practise to place the walls of a building on the exterior, above the timber frame. Timber framing is durable, time-tested, and conventional; the term “building” was once interchangeable with it. In this case, it’s the foundation of a structure that will survive for centuries.
Timber-frame houses are so sturdy that they don’t require any load-bearing walls down the middle; this means that the interior may be laid out in any way you like, from a closed off master suite to a wide-open kitchen, dining, and living area. However, in open layouts, the frame ties the volumes together and makes them feel more manageable thanks to the wood and the joinery. Your timber home can have whatever appearance you wish because its framework can be covered in any material.
