Construction Photos: NH Custom Luxury Home

Construction is continuing despite the rain in New Hampshire’s Upper Valley.   Interior walls, sheet rock, and flooring is being installed.  Even under construction, the timber frame is remarkable and provides an early glimpse into the beauty of the finished home.

Energy efficiency is an important goal for the home. Utilizing both active and passive solar technologies in the design along with a partial timber frame and structural insulated panels, this new home is being designed to meet Energy Star certification, keeping its carbon footprint to a minimum.

Stonework on the exterior is even more beautiful in person than on the architectural drawings!

The timber home we designed for our clients in northern Vermont is well on its way to be weather-tight, just in time for the cold weather!  Vermont Timber Works did a fabulous job on the timber frame and Foard Panel provided the energy efficient SIP panels. Enjoy these recent pictures!

Progress is continuing on our custom luxury home in New Hampshire’s Upper Valley.  Check out the latest construction photos!

The Douglas fir key-laminated beams are lifted in place by the crane.  The “keys” are hardwood wedges joined transversely to the adjacent timbers to transfer shear and limit interlayer slip.

 

Next, Structural Insulated Panels (SIP panels) will be installed this week. Stay posted for new photos!  Here are the floor plan and renderings of the home so you can see what it will look like.

Hybrid Timber Frame: Construction Photos

Our hybrid home in southern New Hampshire designed by Timber Frame Architect Jeremy Bonin is continuing construction, especially with our burst of spring weather. The timber frame was delivered and is already up! Here are some construction photos of the progress:



The main section of the timber frame houses a cathedral great room, kitchen and dining with loft offices above.

The garage is conventional 2x framing and batt insulation.

The Master Bedroom connector will be built using conventional 2x framing, SIP panel walls, and a conventional roof system. The Master Bedroom will have a cathedral ceiling with timber frame rafters, SIP panel walls, dormers and roof system.

The post and girder are joined by an exposed spline connection. Notice the floor joists have an attractive scalloped end detail. Check back for more pictures as they are available!

This timber home was designed using sacred geometry, specifically the Golden Section and Fibonacci Series, to define the building proportions. It is currently under construction in western Maine. See more of our current home designs on our website!

Maine Post and Beam Home

Our timber frame home design in Maine is under construction!

The timber home, designed using sacred geometry to define the building proportions, is 2086 square feet and utilizes energy efficient building materials including an Insulated Concrete Form foundation (ICF), evacuated tubes on the south facing portions of the home for domestic hot water and heating, and SIP panels (structural insulated panels) for the walls and roof which will surround the posts and beams that create the beautiful structural frame of the home.

Timber Home, Lincoln, NH

We took advantage of a rainy day a couple of weeks ago to visit our clients’ timber home in South Peak Resort, Lincoln, NH. The home is progressing nicely and should be completed within the next eight weeks. Chris drew a landscaping plan to submit to the South Peak Resort ARB (Architectural Review Board). Landscaping will begin as soon as approval is given.

The stone fireplace in the great room is gorgeous and complements the timber frame beautifully. The fireplace in the basement recreation room is also coming along.

The exterior braces and timber porches (Douglas fir) add architectural style and provide a hint as to the beauty of the timber frame interior.
