Modern Timber Home Living in Tennessee

Back in August, we featured a story on our client Wade Max's journey to building his timber frame home in Tennessee. The Max's started the construction for their new timber frame in late February 2011 and moved into their new home in December. There were weather delays along the way, but that didn't stop the couple from completing their home by the end of the year!

The Max's home features 2,712 square feet and one floor living with a second floor loft that overlooks the first floor. The first floor features a large open concept space with the great room, kitchen and dining room open to one another. To the right of the great room is a game room and den, as well as the luxurious master bedroom suite equipped with a full bathroom, spacious walk-in closet and laundry area. Patio doors off of the dining room lead to a large deck and is the perfect place to enjoy a view of the pond nearby.

The Max's chose to furnish and decorate their new timber frame with modern decor. Timber frames lend themselves to all architectural and decor styles. With the home's open concept layout, modern living was easily achieved. Check out the photos below!

 This timber frame kitchen features modern cabinetry and lighting. A walk-in pantry is also located off of the kitchen and is perfect for storing extra pots, pans and dry food. The modern bar stools add a chic style to this kitchen. Check out these similar steel wire bar stools on Amazon!

The open concept layout among the kitchen, dining room and great room allows the homeowners to easily entertain a crowd.

This timber frame great room features stylish furniture with simple lines. Cabinets and built in glass shelves were created for the media space. A contemporary gas fireplace will keep the space warm on chilly evenings.

Davis Timber Frame Celebrates 25th Anniversary

Cape Cod Davis Timber Frame Home

This January we are celebrating our 25th year in business! Over the years we have worked with hundreds of clients to design and craft their dream home.

If you are not familiar with Davis Timber Frame, our company was founded by timber framer Jeff Davis and custom home builder Rick Bascom back in 1987. The two realized they shared a common dream and that was to build quality and energy efficient timber frame and post and beam homes. Rick, Jeff and a small crew began handcrafting timber frames in a barn on Rick's family farm in Brownsville, Vermont.

Over the years, our reputation grew and so did the demand for our timber frame homes. To accommodate the growing demand, in 1997 we built a 22,000 square foot design and manufacturing facility in Claremont, New Hampshire. Over the past decade, we have built a 2,500 sf timber frame model home as well as another manufacturing facility to manufacture our panelized home system, Energy Smart Insulated Panel System.

Learning, growing and adapting over time has meant incorporating the latest technological advances in design and production, integrating more efficient building systems into our home design, and embracing new materials and technologies. As part of our drive to deliver the highest quality possible in all aspects of design, we continually re-evaluate construction "best practices" and provide on-going education to staff to ensure that we are creating not only beautiful structures, but smarter, healthier and more efficient buildings.

Take a look back in time and check out some photos from over the years.
