The Fieldview timber frame floor plan was another popular floor plan that we had featured on our old Davis Frame website, before the redesign. The Fieldview was a frequently requested floor plan. This timber frame home was designed for a New York timber frame homeowner in the late 1980's, but it seems as though the floor plan is still attractive to many looking to build a new home. The overall look of the Fieldview resembles many of our Classic Barn Home floor plans.

The home also has a cupola which is a desirable feature that many of our clients like to ad. This gives a home a barn like look and allows additional lighting in. Cupola's are often an option that homeowners add to their barn style timber frame homes.

The first floor plan features a large great room and an open concept dining room and kitchen. A spacious master suite is also located on the first floor. The great room leads to a large deck that is perfect for entertaining guests in the summer.

The second floor includes two bedrooms, a full bath and a good sized loft that is open to below.

Cape Cod Timber Frame Homes: A Martha's Vineyard Dream

Post & Dream

Reprinted from Cape Cod & Island Homes, 2006 Holiday Issue

By:Greg O'Brien

Inside this timber-frame home in West Tisbury, life is sweet.

In the finished basement of his impressive Davis Frame timber frame home in West Tisbury on Martha's Vineyard, Paul McDonald reaches into a storage area, sorting through the dusty residue of cinderblock, and pulls out a brass ring. "It's from the Flying Horses," he says, referring to Oak Bluffs National Historic Landmark, the nation's oldest continuously operating carousel. The brass ring, in so many ways, symbolizes McDonald's idyllic life on the Vineyard and the rock-solid, country-style home that holds it all together. At 43, the veteran lobsterman has grabbed the brass ring indeed. "It's worked out pretty sweet," he acknowledges.

First came love-Paul met his wife Karen on the ski slopes of Sun Valley, Idaho. Then came marriage, the baby carriage (twice), and the dream of planting roots on the Vineyard. McDonald, who grew up in Braintree in a family of nine boys and two girls, summered on the Vineyard throughout high school and college, operating a successful lobster business for six years before heading west to ski. Also a natural handyman, McDonald worked with his brother in Marshfield, and later out west, assembling post and beam barn homes. It was no surprise when he and Karen ventured back to the Vineyard dreaming of a timber frame of their own in peaceful West Tisbury. They purchased almost two acres on the lip of the pastoral Sheriff's Meadow preserve, and began to plan the house of their dreams. McDonald's goal at the time: complete the project in one year, from CAD drawings to open house..........click here for the rest of the article.

Timber Frame Floor Plan Feature: The Lakeside

We have created 100's of timber frame floor plans over the years and used to feature many on our website that are no longer listed due to our new line of custom timber frame floorplans being featured on our site. We thought we would feature a timber frame home that was built a few years ago in Sunapee, New Hampshire. The Lakeside floor plan is a popular floorplan that we receive many requests for.

The Lakeside timber frame floor plan is perfect for a lakeside retreat or can be used on any lot looking to maximize the lot's best views.
