Design

Built to Reflect Your Personal Tastes
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.
