Designing a Timber Frame Home in New Hampshire

From the White Mountains and Great North Woods to the Lakes Region and the state’s short Atlantic coastline, New Hampshire offers a remarkable variety of settings for a custom home. Timber frame architecture complements these landscapes through exposed timbers, natural materials, expansive windows, and enduring craftsmanship that feels equally at home on a wooded mountain property, lakeside retreat, or traditional New England setting.

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 decks, fireplaces, generous gathering spaces, and expansive glazing can help make the most of mountain and lake views, while energy-efficient structural insulated panels (SIPs) support year-round comfort. Site-specific design and engineering can also address cold winters, substantial snow loads, wind exposure, 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 New Hampshire home to life.
