Frame Ideas

There is an infinite amount of timber frame designs possible. Here are just a few with some pricing to get the juices flowing

Isle Barn

Starting at 90,000 (40x50)

Isle barns gave cathedrals their start in europe long ago. They are strong, timeless, and subtly complex. The interior colonnade of posts connect the sheltered with the shelter. They make stunning homes and practical barns or sheds. We can customize this frame to suit your future dream home or shop. The pictures below give examples of what an Isle barn can look like as a dwelling. WE LOVE ISLE BARNS…..Please let us build you one.

Cruck

Starting at 50,000 (20x30)

This cruck frame was designed for my beamery where I love to build beautiful things. Inspiration and loftiness can be achieved in a small footprint using a cruck frame. The large curved braces bring the eyes upward wrapping the viewer in its space. Custom designs are available for different sizes and configurations.

Asian Style

Starting at 70,000 per bay (35x20)

This structure is the pride and joy of Oxbow Designs. With a length of 140 feet this pavilion inspires with its intricacies and large spans. It was designed and built for the Menomonie Farmers Market, and what a lovely shelter for some lovely people. The idea was born of Asian style timber framing which does not use corner braces. It is truly a lattice of clever craftsmanship. This type of frame can be customized for any home, studio, or shop.
