| Timberpeg Lakewood Home |
"The Timber Frame of the Year is from our October 2009 edition, the Lakewood Home, Timberpeg.
Constructed from Douglas Fir, this timber frame vacation home is not only beautiful, but extremely energy efficient as well. At the request of the owner, someone committed to conversation and the environment, geothermal heat, solar hot water and solar electricity were added in addition to the many other “green” features already included in the home. Although the initial expense was costly, the owner felt these features would be beneficial to her family in later years, and would payoff in the long run.
With an open floor plan, for the living, dining room and kitchen, this home features a first floor master suite with cedar siding and cathedral great room that boasts king post trusses. A second floor loft overlooks the great room and the view beyond. Incorporating a European feel to the home, the owner requested that each bedroom have a single sink “en suite” as well as a bath that had its tub and sink separate from the toilet, allowing for separate use."
We are so proud of our timber frame design team and our Independent Representative, Old Hampshire Designs, for all of their work on this project. We also want to thank our customer for her involvement! It's true that when you have a great team working together, the outcome is usually great as well!
