What style home works best for your needs?

Single floor living is becoming more attractive as we age in place
and our lifestyle demands faster accessibility.
The typical ranch however, hardly inspires enthusiasm.
Enter the Cactus Flower timber frame ranch design.

One of the greatest joys of building a new home is that you get to customize the design to precisely suit your lifestyle, your building site, and your climate.

Inside, given that there is no second floor the entire main living area of the home is made up of soaring cathedral ceilings. Massive timber frame bents are supported by timber posts, which help to define the individual spaces.

An oversized 7’ x 9’ entry area with a cathedral ceiling is one of the unique features of this design. The interior Shaker style doors are trimmed with Alder and stained to match the timber frame.

The elegant simplicity of King Post trusses frame the Great Room drawing you into the space. The addition of a prow wall to the back side of the house takes full advantage of the spectacular view.

Utilizing the same ledge stone as the fireplace on the front of the kitchen island, creates a sense of connection and flow to the adjoining spaces in this open floor plan.

One element that really sets our ranch homes apart is just how customizable they are. For instance, you can choose to integrate any type of roof, with gable and hip roofs being the most common, and you can easily

install a lower level to multiply the already abundant living space twofold.

Planning the design and construction of a timber frame home should be a fun and adventurous experience.
