Like our other Shed plans, it is cost-effective to build. It has two bedrooms on either side of a kitchen-dining-living area, and two bathrooms.

We also have a little brother to this design, The 25' Shed, and a larger version, The 64' Shed.

The Sheds are closed in using our suggested method (see "Our Enclosure Method" halfway down this page), and the insulation performance is well above code. The wall assembly performs at  Effective R23  - the National Building Code requires Effective R17 , or Nominal R24.

The roof assembly we recommend has been upgraded to 2 layers of 3.5” QuikTherm MPI. It is awaiting testing, but it replaces our previous 2 layers of 2.5” QuikTherm MPI that exceeded code by 25%.

Digital files to print out on 11"x17" (A3) paper.

Two bedrooms and two bathrooms at opposite ends offer privacy. Vaulted ceilings add to the feeling of spaciousness.

Add awnings if you want a "train station" look (see pictures below). Two bedrooms at opposite ends offer privacy.

We also have two little brothers to this design, the one-bedroom 25' Shed, which would harmonize architecturally if you are building a guesthouse or separate studio on the same property, and a mid-sized Shed, 40' long and 829 sq. ft., with two bedrooms and two baths.

The Sheds are closed in using our suggested method (see "Our Enclosure Method" halfway down this page), and the insulation performance is well above code.

]]> 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.

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 Fundy – 994 sq. ft. https://www.timberframe-houseplans.com/houseplans/fundy/ Fri, 08 Jan 2016 00:53:01 +0000 https://www.timberframe-houseplans.com/?post_type=product&p=62 Timber frame house plan for a two-bedroom cottage or small home

994 sq. ft. of living area, plus storage.

Affordable, easy-to-heat living on one level. Ideal for a "slab on grade" foundation.

Optional walkout version adds another bedroom and a rec room in the basement.

The Fundy has vaulted ceilings in all but the utility areas, plenty of storage, and two bedrooms, all in just under 1000 square feet.

Large windows make the open concept living room / kitchen / dining area bright and airy.Note the dramatic timber dormer over the living room.

There are two bedrooms, each large enough for a queen size bed. Most of the ceiling in both bedrooms is vaulted.

There's a place for a woodstove in the centre of the house where it can heat the main living areas.

The second attic space, over the utility and bathroom, is quite long. This design has much more storage space than you would expect for under 1000 sq. ft.

This attractive and efficient timberframe would make an ideal vacation cottage, starter or retirement home.
