How to Choose A Timber Frame Home Floor Plan for Your Budget, Land, and Lifestyle

Choosing a timber frame floor plan starts with lifestyle and layout. Identify the spaces that matter most, then narrow by square footage, number of stories and flow.

Next, match the plan to the property. For properties with dramatic views or sloping topography, plans with vaulted great rooms and large window walls – popular in many timber frame home designs – help capture panoramic scenery. Riverbend’s timber frame floor plans like Hamilton and Mountain View lean into landscape with generous porch spaces and layouts that celebrate elevation changes.

If you prefer a more relaxed, social setting, look to plans with central gathering spaces and wrap-around porches typical of farmhouse timber frame home styles. Meanwhile, designs in the Madrona or Mackinac plans demonstrate how modern timber frame home principles can marry open interiors with strong indoor-outdoor connections.

Riverbend Signature Series plans offer even more freedom to tailor architectural style – from craftsman style influences to classic European timber frame home details – while aligning with your build site. Whether you’re inspired by midcentury timber frame home plans or an old world timber frame home plan’s sensibility, the key is matching your aesthetic to your land, your lifestyle and your budget before moving forward with timber framing and custom timber frame home plans.

Types of Timber Frame Architectural Styles

Farmhouse

This home style is inspired by the houses built during colonial times for farmers and their families. Characteristics of farmhouse style include large, open floor plans, oversized porches and exposed wood beams.  Farmhouses often have two floors to maximize interior space while maintaining a smaller footprint. These homes can have a more traditional look, like Augusta , or a contemporary flair, like Mineral Point.

Mountain

Mountain-style homes lean into the natural wooden textures of our timber frame designs. These homes aim to bring the outdoors in with large windows and high ceilings. They also incorporate other natural textures like stone. Our mountain-style homes often have a luxury resort feel with high-peaked roofs and large porches, like Hamilton. These homes can also honor the classic, cozy style of a mountain home, like Kalkaska.

Midcentury

Midcentury homes showcase the modern architecture of the twentieth century. These homes are characterized by clean lines, low-pitched or flat roofs, muted curves, and limited ornamentation. They also feature large windows and open floor plans, making the interior versatile. Midcentury homes pair beautifully with our timber frame building style, allowing for the creation of unique lines, as seen in our Madrona floor plan.

Craftsman

Craftsman style homes are inspired by the Arts and Crafts movement of the early 1900s. These homes emphasize harmony with nature alongside bold, artistic architecture. Typical features include low-pitched gable roofs, exposed rafters and overhanging eaves.

Barn

These homes offer a refined, upscale interpretation of the traditional barn structure. While barn-style homes honor traditional elements like gambrel roof lines and exposed wood elements, they also feature more contemporary elements. Barn homes can also look more traditional by leaning into rustic elements, like in our Barlow plan. Interested in hosting events?

European

European homes feature the classic architectural styling of countries like Germany, France and England. Common features of these homes include high-pitched roofs, arched windows and dormers, grand front entrances and high ceilings. These homes bring an old-world feel to your space and can seem historic despite being a new build. Our popular European floor plans include Hickory Lakes and Foxwood.
