Timber Frame Farmhouse Style Homes

Influenced by traditional farmhouse architecture, Riverbend’s timber frame farmhouses add modern twists that make them a perfect fit for contemporary lifestyles.

Timber Frame Farmhouse Floor Plans

Our farmhouse style plans mix open interior layouts with built-in elements, clever storage, and that extend your living space. These floor plan concepts are designed to make the most of smaller layouts, while maintaining a distinct architectural look. The timber framing for each plan represents a modern take on traditional farmhouse architecture and is designed to complement the unique look of that home.

What Is a Farmhouse Style Home?

Timber frame farmhouses homes have become increasingly popular in recent years, but they actually take inspiration from traditional design concepts. Traditional farmhouses started in colonial times when families needed homes near their fields. They typically built the homes themselves since architects were not accessible to them.

Simple colors and shapes characterize a traditional farmhouse. These homes often have wraparound porches and shuttered windows as well as a smaller footprint. Today, the farmhouse style has evolved to be equally cozy and high-end.

A farmhouse style home typically features:

  • Creative use of space within smaller layouts
  • Clean lines and minimal roof lines
  • Featured glass elements
  • Vertical siding that spans multiple levels
  • Banded windows with dark coloring
  • Signature timber framing that complements the design
  • Monochromatic finishes with a splash of color

Benefits of Timber Frame Farmhouses

Farmhouse style timber frame homes come with several benefits, including:

  • Versatility: Farmhouses are known for simple footprints and open interiors. These design elements are incredibly versatile and give you the freedom to create a home that’s suited to your lifestyle. Create large, open kitchens if you love to cook or dedicate your space to an entertainment room with a pool table. Make the space yours and enjoy the warm details of timber framing throughout.
  • Classic design: While timber frame farmhouses can feature modern elements, the overall concept is a classic one. Even as these homes age, they offer a distinguished curb appeal that makes them a worthy investment.
  • Large porches: One of the most notable design elements of a farmhouse style home is the porch. Wraparound porches or two porches on either side create ideal spaces for outdoor lounging or entertaining.
  • Craftsmanship: Timber framing is a unique-looking building method because all timber pieces are fitted together with other pieces of wood. Metal fasteners and other joiners are not required. This design leads to a very seamless and natural look that feels almost sculpturesque.
  • Longevity: Timber framing is a detail-oriented building style that is built to last. With mortise, tenon and other wooden parts carefully fitted together, these homes stand can be passed down through generations.
