When hearing the words timber frame construction most envision a cozy residential location for a family home or a grand mountain getaway. When we envision timber frame construction, we like to think outside the box, engineering custom designs for our clients.
We’ve always thought with its grand traditional style and cozy rustic feel, timber frame construction would suit an educational location quite well.
Just ask Berry College…
Students at Berry College enjoy this impressive common area as an extension of their residence life experience. This log framed educational building is attached to one of the dormitories on campus and creates a ideal environment for students to study, work on projects, host meetings, or hang out. Residents can enjoy a nice day outside on the patio or warm up by the fire while still taking in the view from those floor-to-ceiling windows.
We also envision timber frame construction for other buildings on campus such as student centers, dining halls, libraries, classroom/office buildings, and special events centers. You can even chose smaller scale projects such as pavilions, bus stops, picnic shelters, bike rack overhangs, entryways or porches and patios to add that extra touch of class that timber frame construction offers. The charm that heavy timber framing provides can be appropriate at any location on campus. Timber frame structures can be designed to give you that rustic old-world feel, can have the classic clean look of new modern design, or can meet your expectations anywhere in between.
