Distinctive Beauty: Uniqueness in Custom Timber Frame Homes

Embodying Traditional Aesthetics with Modern Craftsmanship

The allure of timber frame homes lies in their timeless appearance and the enduring technique of joinery that binds heavy timber into elegant structures. Natural Element Homes stands at the forefront, transforming Douglas Fir into your custom timber frame home, a sanctuary reflecting personal style and a commitment to quality. Douglas fir is renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. It has a high density and robust fibers that contribute to its superior load-bearing capacity. This makes Douglas fir beams suitable for supporting heavy loads and spanning long distances, making them ideal for use in timber frame construction.

Envisioning Your Dream Home Through Custom Design

Every dream home starts with a vision. Our in-house design team embraces the challenge of translating your unique ideas into detailed floor plans. From mountain homes imbued with rustic charm to contemporary designs that push boundaries, our home plans are the first step in materializing your aspiration.

Precision and Beauty With Handcrafted Joinery

Mortise and tenon joinery is not merely a construction method; it’s an art. Our expert craftsmen ensure each mortise and tenon joint on your timber frame project reinforces the structure’s integrity and beauty. This is where classic techniques meet high-quality, energy-efficient modern building systems like structural insulated panels (SIPs). The insulation and airtight construction of SIPs minimize air leakage and thermal bridging, resulting in reduced heating and cooling demands. This energy efficiency can lead to lower energy consumption and reduced greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling your home.
