The design
opportunities in building a timber frame are limited only by your imagination. By
definition, a timber frame is a self-supporting structure and does not require the
additional reinforcement of interior walls. It is natural for those who prefer an
open-concept floor plan with rich wood accents of pine, oak or Douglas fir throughout to
choose a timber frame structure. Timber framing works equally well when applied to
standard plan designs, providing the same measure of strength, durability and energy
efficiency.

History in the Making
Timber framing has evolved over
thousands of years, it is both a craft and an art form. More recently, it was the
method of choice among American colonists in building their first homes in New England -
homes that continue to serve today as standard bearers for new home construction and
design. |

| When
you compare timber framing to more common building techniques, you'll find that none
affords you the same high level of constructional strength or integrity of raw materials
as you can expect with an R. A. Krouse timber frame structure. |
