Timber Frame Homes

Timber Frame Homes by Vermont Timber Works

 I designed this farm house back in 1989, and still love the look. It is a classic New England Saltbox custom designed for two photographers from New York City. They moved to Vermont to have a child and raise her in a rural area. The "house" is actually an addition to the main house, and includes a guest suite, office, caretaker's quarters and carport.
 This image is of a beautiful post and beam house in Westerlo New York.It's gambrel design using rough hewn beams and a modern interior. A detail page of the project can be seen at www.vermonttimberworks.com . Jupiter Barn
This is a traditional hammer beam truss for a living room that is part of a Vermont Estate. Hammer beams are interesting because they rely on outside buttressing, like old cathedrals, for support. They make great open ceilings
 This is the caretaker's quarters for the farmhouse pictured above. It uses rough sawn cottage beams that have been stained driftwood grey.
This is the living room of a great house on Stratton Mountain in Vermont. It features douglas fir ceiling beams, curved braces and a cathedral ceiling.
