Timber Frame Homes
Timber Frames are built with massive timbers
In 1984, Hearthstone began crafting TimberFrame homes from boxed heart of white oak. Our timberwrights, having garnered years of experience in the art of log building, found timberframing to be a natural extension of their skills. Timberframing, an ancient method of construction which is distinguished by its massive posts and beams interlocked with mortise & tenon joinery, can be designed to complement any building style.
TimberFrames can be cut in the wood of your choice. The frame is planed, sanded, oiled, and then left exposed on the interior of the home - creating a breathtaking effect of open spaces and craftsmanship rarely seen in this century. The exterior of the frame is covered with a highly energy-efficient blanket of foam core panels. The result is a home of unmatched beauty, value, energy efficiency, and design flexibility.
This Timber Frame home is located in Highlands, NC. The homeowner requested several original design features, which in turn, create an extraordinary custom home.
