Timber Frames: Designing Your Custom Home

A custom-designed home is as unique as the people who will inhabit it, whether the home is built as a primary home, vacation home or a home to retire to; using modern conventional methods, timber-framing or a bit of both. The design process is what enables that singular home to emerge. Timber Frames: Designing Your Dream Home was written to be the definitive primer for anyone interested in the adventure of designing a custom timber frame home, as well as those who just want to sit back and dream about the possibilities! This large format, full color book features stunning photography to inspire you, and expert advice to fully support you in developing the design of your dream home. It will guide you through the entire process of design refinement, including a few exercises that you can complete before you even talk to a builder or architect. You'll learn the terminology for different types of frames and materials, the different stages of the design process, and even about the types of architectural and construction drawings that are involved. You'll also find valuable information about the latest innovations that are important to consider, including the ones that can make your timber frame home one of the most "green" and energy-efficient available today. Architect and author Jeremy Bonin has included a wealth of helpful tips, suggestions and tricks that will help you make decisions and prevent unnecessary headaches down the road.
