Saltbox Home Series
Saltbox Timber Frame Home Plans
Perfect for protecting the home in cold climates, the distinctive roof of the Saltbox Series is one of the most popular features of these unique timber frame designs. Combining form and function, the longer edge of the roof faces north to block any harsh winds while the short side of it faces south, creating a tall wall that beautifully captures sunlight to naturally heat the home. Additionally, comfortable bedrooms are tucked into the shorter side so that they receive plenty of that natural light. The overall design of these homes pays homage to architectural styles first seen in the 17th century, merging strength and simplicity for a striking, Colonial-style home that’s timeless in both design and construction.
