The Timber Frame Great Room

With this entry, I'd like to focus on a particular area of our craft: large-scale structural timberframing. Though much of our work is designed to add beauty and style to the existing structure, stylistic timber work is actually a very recent style of timber framing. The vast majority of timber framing in history has come from a desire to merge elegant craftsmanship with practical structural needs. Though BBT has done many pavilions in this style, we have done relatively few houses. Today, we're taking a look at one we completed early in early 2014.
