Building Your Dream Home with a Custom Timber Frame
Building Your Dream Home with a Custom Timber Frame
The charm of a custom-built home lies in its unique design, quality materials, and vision brought to life. In Hermitage, an exciting new project is making waves as a beautifully crafted timber frame home rises from the ground up. What sets this project apart is the use of a prefabricated timber frame and the remarkable speed at which it’s coming together, thanks to modern construction techniques and innovative materials.
Vision has worked closely with the clients to provide a close-to Passive House standard timber frame home that achieves excellent thermal performance and air tightness, significantly reducing the need for heating or cooling. The home will provide a comfortable living space that uses minimal energy while maximizing comfort and reducing its environmental impact.
Timber frame homes have long been admired for their strength, aesthetic appeal, and environmental benefits. Timber is a renewable resource that offers excellent thermal insulation, which helps keep energy costs low throughout the year.
When it comes to custom homes, timber frame construction allows for flexibility in design, enabling homeowners to create open floor plans with large, airy spaces. Additionally, the timber frame provides a robust structure that can stand the test of time while maintaining its elegance.
One of the key advantages of using a prefabricated timber frame for your new home construction is the speed with which it can go up! Timelapse footage of the Hermitage timber frame project showcases just how quickly the prefabricated structure is assembled on-site, significantly reducing the overall construction timeline. In under 4 weeks the main timber frame structure and roof is assembled and the soffit and fascia is being fitted.
Vision is working alongside Greenham Construction to give the customers a complete home. Vision supplies the external windows and doors, which are Alu-clad and supplied by Viking, along with the internal doors, staircase, and second fix joinery package.
As the new custom timber frame home in Hermitage takes shape, it’s clear that the future of homebuilding lies in efficient, sustainable, and innovative practices. The use of prefabricated timber frames not only speeds up the construction process but also offers a range of benefits, from sustainability to energy efficiency to design flexibility. Watching the time-lapse footage unfold, it’s evident that the future of homebuilding is not only faster but also more beautiful and environmentally conscious.
If you’re considering building a new home, the timber frame construction method might just be the perfect solution for you—combining the speed and efficiency of prefabrication with the timeless beauty and durability of timber. Keep an eye on this stunning Hermitage project as it continues to evolve into a dream home that will last for generations to come.
