It has a vaulted Great Room with a dramatic open valley (see joinery section for details) showing off the timber frame structure to full advantage. The open concept layout flows towards the dining room and kitchen. A deck off the dining room invites you outdoors.

A main floor Master Bedroom with ensuite bath and walk-in closet has its own entrance opening onto a deck. It would provide one-level living for someone with mobility issues, or make a practical home office or therapy room.

A utility/laundry room between the kitchen and the side door provides a mudroom area, while the elegant front foyer welcomes guests in style.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and a room-sized loft that overlooks the living room and would be a great place for a sofabed, desk or sewing centre - whatever your lifestyle needs.

Please contact us for other floor plan variations.

We also have a version of the Greenwich with a wraparound porch or verandah. It requires a taller 2nd floor. Contact us for details.

Main level: 1580 sq. ft.
Second level: 1305 sq. ft.
Total living space: 2885 sq. ft.

We have some Greenwich frames in our Photo Gallery; see: Peace River and Queens County.

The main floor has a full length vaulted ceiling extending from the kitchen/dining area to one of the bedrooms.

The upstairs is very light and airy with rows of windows, giving it a bit of an industrial loft feel, ideal for an artist's studio. From the loft you can look down on the entryway to see who is coming in. The upstairs Master Bedroom has a walk-in closet and ensuite bath.

]]> The Garage is very economical to build, but it looks classy. It’s a hybrid, with 2×6″ wall construction below and a timber framed apartment on the 2nd floor.

This design has lots of possibilities.

  • It could be a regular garage with a guest apartment upstairs, or provide extra income as a rental. For a rental it could have an outside stair with a deck.
  • Use it as a starter home. Later, one of the garages could be converted into a level-entry in-law suite or a rec room for a growing family.
  • Make it the first building on your cottage lot. It would provide lots of storage for SUVs, 4-wheelers, boat, kayaks, etc.

The upstairs apartment has a fully timbered roof with open timber valleys, tie beams, and rafters. There is a loft area over the bedrooms which is accessed by a pull-down stair in one of the bedrooms.

The elegant recessed entry between the garage doors allows you to stand at the door out of the weather.

  • Working Prints
    Floor plans, foundation plan, roof plan, sections, elevations, window & door schedules and construction details.
  • Timber Frame Plans

]]> Dining area seen from front door

Dining area seen from front door

You will love welcoming visitors into this hybrid timber frame home. The front door opens into a vaulted area with the living room on the right. Strong wood posts lead the eye upward to the loft area upstairs and the exposed timbers holding up the roof. The dining area lies straight ahead.

The entrance and loft are well lit by a grand window in the front dormer. The open loft area could accommodate a studio for art or crafts, an office, a reading nook, a play area for kids, a model train layout, an occasional bedroom or whatever your lifestyle craves. It’s a most pleasurable space to spend time in, and feels a lot like being in a tree. Put some large houseplants on the ledge beside the stairs to promote beauty and air quality.

Top of stairs, loft on left.

The attached garage is connected to the centre of the house. As well as a car, it has room for a workbench and storage, and a utility room for your hot water heater, pressure tank, and … well, solar panel controls, perhaps. Maybe you’d rather build a boat in the garage and leave the car outdoors. As well as a car door, the garage has a people-sized door which functions as the back door of the house, which means that you’ve got a great mudroom – a real bonus if you have kids or do much gardening.

The kitchen, which juts off the dining room, is organized for efficiency, with lots of counter space and everything conveniently located within a few steps.

The master bedroom on the main floor with ensuite bath accommodates those who need or prefer one-level living.

A downstairs powder room with laundry is adjacent to the master bedroom with ensuite. Placing bathrooms adjacent to each other is economical when you’re building a house.

Over the garage is a bedroom or studio or “Bonus Room”, with windows on three sides. It could function as an extra-large bedroom, a play area, a music studio, art studio, yoga studio or large office. A large windowed dormer adds headroom on one side, while the other side has a sloped ceiling.

With choices of how to use the loft space and the Bonus Room, the Granville can adapt to your lifestyle as it evolves and changes. It provides enough different spaces for a growing family to live and play.

An upstairs bedroom has a romantic sloped wall/ceiling and a good-sized closet.

We’ve added a basement floor plan, which adds another 908 sq. ft. of living space, room for a rec room and another bedroom. Alternatively, you could build the house on a slab, without a basement.

Closets really help make a house livable, and they’re something to look for when you’re researching house plans. The Granville has lots of closets: one at each entrance, a linen closet upstairs and another downstairs, and one in each bedroom including the loft and the Bonus Room.

Classic Maritime styling fits beautifully into the neighbourhood, or graces a rural property as if it had been there forever.

With at least 2½ baths and 2 or 3 or 4 bedrooms, depending on your choices, this practical but beautifully designed house is designed for real life.
