Foundational First Steps

When you’re ready to kick-off your timber frame journey in earnest, start with an immersive timber frame getaway by booking a complimentary stay in our on-site guest cottage in Pennsylvania. We’ve packaged up the exploring, dreaming, and initial consultation into one timber-rich experience. (Plus, in addition to the complimentary accommodations, Woodhouse deducts the cost of your trip from your final payment.)

 

You’ll get to see what it’s like to live in a timber frame home, meet your Woodhouse design team, and tour the workshops where we’ll design and build the timbers for your home. Top off the visit with a guided tour of finished Woodhouse homes in the area with Woodhouse owner Pat Seaman.

 

“We want visitors to experience multiple Woodhouse timber frame spaces,” Pat says. “Different species of wood, different styles, a different feel.”

Meaningful Experience

With more than 40 years in the industry, Woodhouse has one of the most respected names in timber framing. This has given us experience with all kinds of properties, climates and architectural vernaculars. Everything from rolling hills to desert flatlands to salty shorelines to steep mountainsides are part of our repertoire. We offer more than 140 timber frame home plans in an array of home styles — mountain modern, coastal contemporary, fresh farmhouse, classic Adirondack, charming Appalachian and so many more.  Our expertise also includes inclement weather, snow and ice loads, and passive solar design. We can also create a completely custom design for you, starting from scratch.

 

Over the decades, we’ve crafted more than homes, commercial spaces and outdoor structures. We have created a refined building process for ultimate efficiency, saving homeowners time and money without sacrificing top quality.

Collective Commitment

Almost all Woodhouse homes are customized to some degree. In part, that’s owed to a timber frame’s inherent structural integrity. Because the home’s weight is primarily supported by the outer walls, the interior is open for personalization.

 

We can help you craft your dream home from scratch. Or, any of our plans can accommodate adjustments ranging from micro-changes to significant alterations. And when it comes to timber frame plans and prices, bigger doesn’t always mean more expensive. The Woodhouse team uncovers each owner’s unique needs and shapes the design to suit them. Plus, Woodhouse works with outside architects, seamlessly integrating their input into the process.

 

Comprehensive Planning

There should be absolutely no surprises in your journey to getting the final design that matches your needs, personal tastes, and budget. The definition and design phase is supported with advanced visuals in the form of 3D modeling, renderings, and photo-realistic 3D fly-throughs of your home so you can experience your home and make changes before the shovel hits the dirt.
