Designing a Timber Frame Home in New Mexico

From the high desert around Santa Fe and Taos to the forested mountains and river valleys of northern New Mexico, the state offers distinctive settings for a custom home. Timber frame architecture complements these landscapes through exposed timbers, natural materials, expansive windows, and craftsmanship that frames long views while bringing warmth and texture to the surrounding desert and mountain terrain.

Woodhouse can customize an existing floor plan or create a fully original design around your property, lifestyle, architectural preferences, and long-term plans. Shaded patios, covered outdoor living areas, fireplaces, and generous gathering spaces can help a home respond naturally to the region’s climate and lifestyle, while energy-efficient structural insulated panels (SIPs) support year-round comfort. Site-specific design and engineering can also address elevation, intense sun, large day-to-night temperature swings, winter snow in mountain areas, and wind exposure.

Since 1979, Woodhouse has specialized in architectural design, engineering, and precision timber frame fabrication. We collaborate with your local builder and project team, providing the specialized timber frame expertise and home package components needed to bring your New Mexico home to life.
