Upstairs you'll find a third bedroom, full bath and a loft space ideal for a play area, craft or reading nook. A sheltered balcony provides another outdoor space.

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 Cape Split was designed by artist Terry-Lee Bourgeois-King, and drafted and built by Arlington Frame Company. See our Gallery for a selection of photos.

First floor: 1160 sq. ft.
Second floor: 710 sq. ft.
Total living area: 1870 sq. ft.

The Cape Split's open, flowing floor plan makes it very comfortable to live in. Its many nice features include the solid cut timber frame arches framing the hall, the hammerbeam trusses upstairs at each end and the small vault over the living room.

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 Newcomb – 1370 sq. ft. plus loft https://www.timberframe-houseplans.com/houseplans/the-newcomb-3-bedroom/ Mon, 22 Feb 2016 17:19:46 +0000 https://www.timberframe-houseplans.com/?post_type=product&p=410 At 1370 sq. ft., the Newcomb is a small but livable starter home or retirement house, with two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a den.

The kitchen and living areas are larger with the same beautiful vaulted timber ceiling, and the dramatic timber framed entry definitely adds curb appeal.

The living area has beautiful vaulted ceilings showing off the timber frame roof structure (see photos below), but the stud walls make the Newcomb a "hybrid" timber frame.

]]>

Small homes can be the most challenging to design. Working within strict parameters doesn’t allow you to add an extra 2′ here or there to make it work! The Newcomb is an attractive cottage or small home, affordable, user friendly, easy to heat, and remarkably comfortable.

The Newcomb is a hybrid timber frame design. It has a timber frame roof structure and interior posts, but the external walls are of 2×6″ studs. This building method gives you the benefits of a timber frame home with less expense.

The Newcomb makes a great retirement home – all one one level, a heated floor, and quick to clean. It also makes a nice starter home, vacation cottage or timeshare unit.

The floor plan has been carefully worked out for usability through direct experience, by living in it!

Features:

  • It’s bigger on the inside than it looks like from the outside – we hear this comment a lot!
  • There are lots of windows – especially the wrap-around windows in the kitchen/dining area.
  • You’ll see beautiful vaulted ceilings everywhere on the main level except the bathroom and office which are under the loft.
  • The 14th-century-style timber roof is not merely decorative. That’s the roof. Timber posts, beams, and curved knee braces lend an timeless ambience, and also define “rooms” within the open concept.
  • Pull-down stairs in front of the bathroom provide access to a 250 sq. ft. loft/storage area. There’s room there for an extra bed, and plenty of space for visiting kids to “camp out”.

The living-dining-kitchen area is open-concept with a beautiful vaulted ceiling which shows off the beams and provides a sense of spaciousness. The Master Bedroom is off in one wing for privacy, and also has a vaulted ceiling, as does the second bedroom. Over the den and adjacent bathroom is a loft storage area – or a place for visiting grandchildren to sleep, accessible by a space-saving pull-down stair.

3D rendering

In this cutaway, you can see the timber frame arches in the main living area, framing the door from the side entrance way, and another between kitchen and living areas framing the passage to the second bedroom and the front patio doors. Note the laundry room to the left of the side entrance.

Here’s another cutaway view, from a different angle.

Now, let’s add the heavy timber beams to the picture. The loft floor has also been added, so you can visualize the loft space.

Newcomb rendering showing rafters

This is called a hybrid timber frame, because the external walls are framed with conventional 2×6″ lumber, and the timber frame roof structure rests on those walls, remaining visible from the inside.

Here’s another cutaway view, with the living area in front.

So how does it look inside?

]]> 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.

Your Package Contains:

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

We wanted a small home design that was compact, but still contemporary and elegant.

With 509 sq. ft. of living space, plus 90 sq. ft. of storage, the Bothy still has plenty of room for solar batteries, hot water tank, and even a washer/dryer combination in its utility room. It also has its own storage area for recyclables.
