Embrace crisp mornings and cozy evenings with fireplace inspiration that proves a timber frame home is the perfect place to gather, relax and enjoy the season.

 

Timber frame design shines in every season; in winter, large windows welcome warming sunlight. In spring, sprawling porches and patios beckon you back outside. In summer, elegantly timbered poolside pavilions offer cooling comfort, and in fall, fireplaces take center stage. Big or small, rustic or modern, fireplaces are a must for many homeowners when it comes to custom timber frame design.

 

In this showcase of previous Woodhouse projects, we explore indoor and outdoor hearths that exemplify the many creative ways to incorporate a fireplace into your timber frame design, setting the stage for seasonal comfort.

 

Porch Perfection

An outdoor fireplace turns fall mornings and evenings into a special ocassion. Nestled in New York’s Finger Lakes, this 4,236-square-foot home’s porch has a front-row seat to the region’s kaleidoscopic fall show.

 

A Fireplace for Every Space

Fireplaces are featured throughout this five-bedroom, seven-and-a-half bathroom lakeside timber frame retreat. Gather around the soaring great room hearth, relax by the stone outdoor fireplace, or unwind in the primary suite next to the crackle of a glowing fire. See them all here.

 

Old-Fashioned Charm

This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath timber frame sanctuary conjures cabin-like warmth at every turn. A wood-burning stove stands at the heart of the great room, drawing family and friends into its glow. A heating element like this is a true stylistic anchor, adding drama and height to the space with its floor-to-ceiling stove pipe.

 

Work-from-Home Perks

An inviting fireplace by a dedicated workspace offers unparalled comfort from 9 to 5.  This three-story Douglas fir and white oak retreat features five bedrooms and five baths spread out across three levels. A bonus-room fireplace and outdoor fire pit continue the comfort long after working hours are done.

 

Center Stage

 

In this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom timber frame home, the fireplace anchors the great room both visually and functionally. Surrounded by towering timbers and broad lake views, the hearth turns the space into a natural gathering place where light and connection define the rhythm of everyday living.
