Oaked Japanese Timber Frame

Inspired by living in Japan, this house blends eastern with western joinery to create intriguing spaces.

Oak timbers with natural knee braces, chamfered corners and lamb's tongues are built in the tradition of western shipbuilding

Japanese Taiko beams create flowing lines in the cathedral roof system.

Scandinavian tradition is honored by placing a tree on the ridge as a thank you for a safe raising and in appreciation of the trees used in construction.
