Hampton Beach Redevelopment Project

Timberpeg and our Independent Representative,  Samyn-D’Elia Architects are excited to be part of the new Hampton Beach project. Timberpeg provided the timber framing for the pavilions and shade structures located along the beach as well as one of the bathhouses.

Timberpeg Bathhouse and Shade Pavilions

The New Hampshire Department of Resources and Economic Development knew that the services at the Hampton Beach State Park needed to be replaced with facilities that could meet the demands of today. They turned to the NH Lakes Region architecture firm, Samyn-D’Elia Architects as the project architects working along with, ORW Landscape Architects and Planners, and Vanasse Hagen Brustlin Engineers (VHB) to transform the existing park in two phases. This team developed Feasibility Plans that called for a family-friendly hub that echoed local vintage architecture, yet was tough enough to handle crowds and harsh seaside conditions. The project then proceeded in a multi-phase construction schedule. Phase 1 included two new bathhouses and accompanying landscaping and site construction.


The architecture of these buildings reflects the iconic New England coastal shingle style. The bathhouses are, however, modern with regard to energy efficient features in materials and mechanical systems.  State of the art insulation will keep the building comfortable in all seasons.

The use of skylights is one example of sustainable energy features that were incorporated.  The skylights will reduce the use of electricity for lighting.  The post and beam wood trusses display the historic New England building technique.

Vermont Welcome Center Timber Frame Trusses

Timberpeg is proud to be supplying the timber frame trusses for the new Vermont Welcome Center being built on I-91 Southbound in Hartford, VT. The existing welcome center was outdated and in need of repair, and in an effort to encourage tourism, the state of Vermont chose to re-build the welcome center. After-all the center welcomed over 217,000 visitors in 2010 alone – and what better way to welcome visitors to the region than by building with the time-honored New England building tradition of timber framing.

Timberpeg was selected to provide the large timber frame trusses to support the open ceiling structure. The space will feel welcome, strong and secure when completed, and Timberpeg is proud to have a role in this project. Whether visitors will be coming here to New England for ski season, leaf peeping, hiking, hunting, camping or biking – we’re happy to play our part in welcoming guests to our beautiful neck of the woods.

Here is a photo of the timber frame trusses leaving our manufacturing facility in Claremont, NH on their way to the job site in Hartford, VT.
