Thirty floor plans along with tips from some of the field's premier builders and designers will enable you to incorporate the art of a centuries-old building craft into your home. Elegant in its simplicity and immensely strong for its fewer parts, a timberframe home is a thing of beauty, designed as much for its pleasing symmetry as for its strength and longevity. The TIMBERFRAME PLAN BOOK is a hands-on guide to choosing the floor plan for the home of your dreams.


From the Inside Flap

Elegant in its simplicity and immensely strong for its fewer parts, a timberframe home is a thing of beauty, designed as much for its pleasing symmetry as for its strength and longevity. With joints resembling those found in fine furniture, the timberframe structure not only gives interiors an architectural grandeur that surprises and delights, but also houses its occupants in woodsy comfort.

The Timberframe Plan Book is a hands-on guide to choosing the floor plan for the home of your dreams. Handpicked by some of the field's premier builders and designers, each plan comes to life with vivid interior and exterior photographs and helpful hints to consider when choosing the timberframe medium.

1.0 out of 5 stars Save Your Money, June 14, 2001
By Steve Pilz (Carnegie, PA United States) - See all my reviews
I found this book a waste of time. Looking for actual timber frame plans, instead I found a bunch of pictures in no particular order or organization. May make a makeshift coffee table book for people to read while you think big thoughts in your completed timber frame home, but it sure won't help you design one.

1.0 out of 5 stars worst timber frame book ever, October 2, 2007
Don't buy this book!
Unless you want a lessons in terrible architecture and how NOT to build a timber frame.
The pictures are also the worst quality I have ever seen in a book. Waste of my money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreaming of a Timberframe Home?, November 14, 2000
By Kim Garretson (Edina, MN United States) - See all my reviews
As the editor of LivingHome, I have to say that this new book is a real winner. With the popularity of timberframe homes, many of the best companies put out beautiful brochures (some even charging for them), and some have Web sites, but the photos on the Web don't do justice to the soaring spaces and gorgeous interiors of these type of homes. The authors of this book have gathered some of the best photos from some of the best companies. Plus there is good actionable information and resources for those of us who say that some day we are going to build one these beauties, no matter what.
