I specialize in the Design, Joinery and Raising of one of a kind Post and Beam
Homes, Barns and Additions.

Future projects ?

A few inspirational pictures I’ve run across over  the years:

I find cruck frame styles endlessly fascinating. I’d like to build more structures with curved timbers and sweeping lines.
Need a medieval church, barn or addition ?

One of the best modern barn frames I’ve studied recently. This was built by the Timber Framers Guild for a school in North Carolina. Need a barn ?  This would also make a very interesting house frame.

 A couple of photos of a post modern house designed by James Speyer and David Haid in 1953.  The bottom photo is Phillip Johnson’s famous 1949 Glass House.  I’m intrigued with the concept of enclosing a modern timber frame  with a glass curtain wall similar to modern skyscrapers. Inside all you would see is the frame, outside  the glass would would reflect the surroundings making the building virtually invisible..

Hmmm, lets talk..
