Frequently Asked Questions
Timber frame homes naturally complement the Pacific Northwest’s wooded landscapes and seasonal beauty. Their exposed beams, open layouts, and earthy design elements blend seamlessly with the Tualatin area’s environment and lifestyle.
Absolutely. While timber frame homes are often associated with rustic styles, we regularly design modern and transitional versions that feature clean lines, open interiors, and expansive windows—perfect for clients looking for a contemporary take on classic construction.
