28' x 40' Ode To Joy Timber Frame Addition

We designed and built this 2,200s.f. timber frame addition to a 19th Century New England Farm House for clients interested in creating a space for both one floor living and a garage. The first floor has a large living space, bathroom and a 14' x 24' garage that can accomodate a vehicle and leave room for storage. The upstairs could easily be finished to include one to three bedrooms and a bathroom.

We added 14' x 24' car port to accomodate another vehicle and provide additional covered storage.

We hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed creating this very special BungalowInABox.
