Designing a Timber Frame Home in Maine

From the rocky Atlantic coastline to the forests and lakes of the interior and the mountains of western Maine, the state offers an extraordinary range of settings for a home shaped by its surroundings. Timber frame architecture feels particularly at home in these landscapes, where exposed timbers, natural materials, expansive windows, and enduring craftsmanship create a strong connection between the home and the outdoors.

Woodhouse can customize an existing floor plan or create a fully original design around your property, lifestyle, architectural preferences, and long-term plans. Screened porches, covered outdoor spaces, fireplaces, and gathering areas can extend the enjoyment of a Maine home throughout the seasons, while energy-efficient structural insulated panels (SIPs) support comfort during cold winters and warmer summer months. Site-specific design and engineering can also address significant snow loads, coastal winds, and the demands of sloped or waterfront properties.

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 Maine home to life.
