The rich history of timber framing includes old world designs found throughout the Alps region of Europe. Many of these architectural characteristics remain popular today. Discover how Riverbend Timber Framing can incorporate European design elements to bring character, charm, and architectural interest to your timber frame floor plan.
European timber frame homes are instantly recognizable and well-loved by people all over the world – from a French country chalet, to an English cottage, or a Tuscan villa. The use of timber framing in these homes dates back centuries. Over time, ornate timber framing combined with stone, steep rooflines, shutters, and metal accents became hallmarks of these floor plans. Today, many of those elements are still found in contemporary European style timber home designs.
European architecture includes a variety of classical styles that continue to feel vital and relevant today. Whether you want a design that completely embodies the old world feel of European timber framing, or simply elect to add a few French country details or incorporate the cozy charm of an English cottage, these galleries are sure to inspire.
