An Inglenook

Now that’s a fireplace!
In fact, some would call this an “inglenook”… a fireplace designed so that a place to sit down near the fire was part of the design.

A “homeplace” is more than just a house.
The surrounding outbuildings are just as important to the daily lives of those who live there. Outbuildings tend to draw us out of the main house where we will then find ourselves enjoying the great outdoors.
And that, is a good thing.
Focused attention needs to be given to these minor structures with regard to design and location.

The cabin may be small.

But, the roof is tall.

The roof is dramatic isn’t it?

Here in Virginia this roof would appear odd, but over in Scandinavia, this roof would be perfect.

Building a home in an area so that it appears to belong there should be the goal of every builder.

Timber framing

It doesn’t take that much more effort, nor that much more material, to frame up a home with timbers rather than by using laminated lumber from Home Depot, but the difference in appearance and durability is amazing.
