Timeless Timber

Showcasing an abundance of natural wood, from structural Douglas-fir timbers to an off-site-constructed enclosure system, PEFC-certified larch siding, and reclaimed teak flooring this high-performance residence celebrates the beauty of wood through deliberate material choices and its surrounding landscape.

Staying true to the homeowner’s vision of integrating with the bucolic countryside, Timberstead is an efficient, thoughtfully scaled home designed to complement its Finger Lakes setting. Contemplative indoor and outdoor spaces create a natural connection to the property from every vantage point. The custom-finished timber frame draws on the region’s varied hues, reflecting the high-craft natural materials used throughout the build.


An inviting covered patio space with central fireplace, is perfect for cozy evenings outdoors.

The home’s rustic-modern kitchen features wood cabinetry, bar seating, pendant lighting and an inviting atmosphere.

The warm and rustic main living space spotlights exposed timbers and a fireplace seating area.

The sunlit home Pilates studio overlooks the countryside through large floor-to-ceiling windows.

A spacious covered patio area provides ample space for seasonal entertaining.


Beautifully rendered joists and trusses by New Energy Works form a robust structure for the enclosure and siding systems. Through its deft use of natural materials and eco-forward design, Timberstead is a comfortable, resilient home that assimilates rather than separates.
