Evolved from the great lodge tradition of Montana and Wyoming and inspired by the classic New York Adirondack style, this stunning timber frame home reflects the characteristics typical of these two distinctive influences: post and beam framing using massive timbers, peeled timber and twig details, voluminous interior spaces, large windows encompassing vast panoramic views and ship lap cedar siding and cedar shake exterior offer the finishing elements. Rustic elegance from the footprint on up.
The visionary owners employed Master Builder Tim Bullock of Tamarack Log Homes to frame the structure and Rose Point Contracting to complete the construction. Masterful in every respect.
In terms of the framing, a 30 ton crane was employed to erect the structural members; the vertical posts are all hardwoods; Maple, Ash, Sycamore and Oak, trees felled in the forests of Simcoe County then transported to the building site for selection and preparation. Horizontals and rafters are all symmetrical having been purchased from a pine farm and grown specifically for this type of application.
