In the mountains of Vermont, we built an incredible “mountain modern” timber frame home, combining the rustic aspects of timber framing with today’s modern architecture. The frame of this 3,650 sq. ft. home was constructed using Douglas Fir timbers, and is comprised of two floors. The angled roofline and massive windows with the Douglas Fir frame and reclaimed barn board siding combine for a stunning sight. This is certainly a stellar property, ready for hosting friends and family year-round. 

It was an epic raising in Ludlow, VT of this mountain modern timber frame home. We had the time of our lives and the homeowners couldn't be more excited. Watch the full video to see what the finished home will look like.

Find rest and reassurance in the strength of a timber frame with every detail purposeful, and every timber carefully crafted. Featured here is the timber frame great room, foyer, kitchen, and loft for a 3,800 sq. ft. Rocky Mountain-inspired home that we built in the hills of Connecticut.

Special thanks to our awesome customers in Burlington, CT for allowing us to fly a drone around their home & barn earlier this fall. We built this custom home & barn and the customers couldn't be happier with how everything came out. The home is 2,500 sq. ft. and the barn is a 24' x 36' Post & Beam Carriage Barn with 12' Lean-To.
