Timber Frame
Great Rooms and Gathering Spaces
|
Timber
framing may be used for the complete design of
the home or only special portions of the home
may be selected for post and beam construction.
Whether you choose a full timber frame or hybrid
(combined) design and construction, timber frame
great rooms and gathering spaces provide
inherent interest, drama, beauty and light. |
In any timber
frame gathering area, the overall timber frame
design, window placement, interior decor and
lighting are a few factors that determine the
personality of the space. In addition, wall
treatments and flooring options can result in huge
variations in the appearance and feeling of a room.
The photo
collection below offers some example of the
variations that can be achieved in the character of
timber frame great rooms and gathering areas. |
