Shelburne V2 reimagines the original Shelburne carriage house floor plan with expanded functionality, refined architectural detailing, and enhanced livability, all while maintaining the footprint that made the original design so versatile and approachable.
Designed as a sophisticated timber frame carriage house, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath layout offers a thoughtfully organized second-floor living space that comfortably accommodates additional occupants while preserving an open, light-filled atmosphere. The spacious living area remains anchored by large windows and glass doors that open onto a broad elevated deck, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.
The updated kitchen and dining area introduces an extended dine-in peninsula, increased storage capacity, and improved circulation throughout the main living level. On the first floor, the entry has been expanded to include a dedicated laundry area and coat closet, adding practical everyday functionality for full-time living, guest accommodations, or multi-use property applications.
Architecturally, Shelburne V2 elevates the traditional carriage house aesthetic with a refined blend of stone, richly stained vertical wood siding, and metal trim details inspired by high-end residential design. Decorative lantern lighting and carefully crafted exterior embellishments reinforce the home’s timeless character and curb appeal.
Inside, exposed timber framing showcases elegant kingpost trusses with curved detailing, while matching curved wood accents and gable brackets continue the architectural language throughout the exterior. The result is a carriage house plan that feels warm, distinctive, and intentionally crafted from every angle.
Whether used as a guest house, mountain retreat, income property, or companion structure to a primary residence, Shelburne V2 delivers efficient living with elevated timber frame design.

Carriage Series
Paying homage to the ever-popular carriage houses of the 19th century, Woodhouse’s Carriage House series takes the homespun charm of a traditional carriage house and merges it with elaborate and elegant design. Each of the designs has two or three ground-floor garages, protected by a steep-pitched roof, with ample apartment living space above them. When you head up the foyer stairs, you’ll be greeted with striking vaulted ceilings and an expansive open floor plan that provides far more space than the exterior alludes to. It’s the perfect addition for your guests to stay in or to serve as a temporary home for you while you build your final timber frame dream home.
