Timberframe

A timber frame is a construction technique that uses heavy wooden beams connected with traditional joinery like mortise and tenon, typically secured with wooden pegs instead of nails or metal fasteners.

This method dates back centuries and is commonly associated with traditional European, Japanese, and early American architecture.

Timber framing emphasizes the use of large, exposed timbers that create the structural skeleton of the building, providing both strength and an appealing aesthetic.

Timber frame structures are often left exposed on the interior, showcasing the craftsmanship and creating a rustic, natural look.

This building method is commonly used for homes, barns, and even outdoor structures like pavilions and pergolas.It is an ideal showcase for an outdoor kitchen or for a pool dressing or resting area.

 

Because of the durability and thermal efficiency of timber, these structures can last for generations and are popular in regions where natural, eco-friendly building materials are preferred.
