Designing a Timber Frame Home in Oregon

From the lush Willamette Valley and forested Cascade Range to the high desert of Central Oregon and the dramatic Pacific coastline, Oregon offers an exceptional variety of settings for a custom home. Timber frame architecture complements these landscapes through exposed timbers, natural materials, expansive windows, and enduring 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 decks, generous gathering spaces, fireplaces, and expansive glazing can help make the most of mountain, forest, and high-desert views, while energy-efficient structural insulated panels (SIPs) support year-round comfort. Site-specific design and engineering can also address Oregon’s varied elevations, mountain snow loads, coastal wind and moisture, wildfire considerations, and the drier conditions found east of the Cascades.

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 Oregon home to life.
