Small house floor plans: Our thoughts on smaller homes

Floor plan for Newcomb 3-bedroom

We have observed that there aren’t a lot of timberframe house plans available for small homes. Our 30 years of professional experience in designing, building and living in smaller timberframe homes, combined with the interest of many people in leaving a smaller footprint on the earth, has led us to design a series of small but liveable timber frame homes.

For empty-nesters and single people, a small home with a loft for visiting grandchildren may be all you need. Or perhaps you want to build a comfortable vacation cottage now that you will retire to later.

Post and beam construction lends itself to open-concept interiors, and adds a sense of spaciousness to even a small area.

We’ve juggled the parameters needed to design living spaces that work.

Our packages contain sufficient detail to enable any experienced timberframer to give you a proper quote and to build the home you want.
