Home Style: Hybrid Timber Frame

Why Choose This Option?

Hybrid timber frame homes combine timber frame construction with conventional methods, resulting in a home with accent pieces of exposed wood beams in chosen areas of the home. A more budget friendly option compared with full timber frame construction, this option offers the best of both worlds.

AVERAGE COST ($$)

Average cost starts at $125.00 per sq. ft., depending on how much timber frame is incorporated into the design.

CONSTRUCTION STYLE

Hybrid timber frame homes give you the best of both worlds, with partial timber frame construction in parts of the home combined with conventional construction elsewhere.

DESIGN FLEXIBILITY (MEDIUM)

Less flexible than whole-home timber frame construction, hybrid timber frame homes still enjoy some design flexibility. The timber frame portion, most commonly featured in the main living areas, is highly adaptable and the conventional sections less so due to load bearing walls.

Why Choose a Hybrid Timber Frame Home?

A hybrid timber frame home is a great option for those who like the idea of a timber frame home, but are also interested in some conventional design aspects along with the exposed wood. Hybrid homes are typically more affordable, and still very energy efficient and durable like timber frame homes.

ENERGY EFFICIENCY

Hybrid timber frame homes are some of the most energy efficient homes on the market today. Typically, the timber frame section is wrapped in Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS).

Our visits to Claremont and interactions with Jeff and the team were good experiences. These experiences provided the level of comfort we needed to make the decision to go with Davis Frame.
