Designing a Timber Frame Home in Maryland

From the Chesapeake Bay and Eastern Shore to the rolling Piedmont and mountains of western Maryland, the state offers remarkably varied settings for a custom home. Timber frame architecture complements these landscapes through exposed timbers, natural materials, expansive windows, and craftsmanship that creates a strong connection between the home and its surroundings.

Woodhouse can customize an existing floor plan or create a fully original design around your property, lifestyle, architectural preferences, and long-term plans. Covered porches, lakeside decks, generous gathering spaces, and strong indoor-outdoor connections work especially well in Maryland’s waterfront and rural settings. Energy-efficient structural insulated panels (SIPs) help support year-round comfort, while site-specific design and engineering can address snow in western Maryland, coastal winds, humidity, and other local conditions.

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 Maryland home to life.
