European
The rich history of timber framing includes old world designs found throughout 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 Style Timber Home Plans
European timber 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 hallmark elements of these types of floor plans. Today, many of those elements are still found in contemporary cottage-style timber home designs.
