Having rooms under the roof (such as rooms #3 and #4) is quite common in timber frame house design. Though the sloping roof is a restriction to headroom, sometimes these rooms -- with the geometric patterns created by the intersection of roof timbers and the unusual spaces -- are the most arresting and inviting spaces in the house. Study this plan and see how different and fun each of the spaces can be.
"This plan represents a custom timber frame house design produced by Benson Woodworking which may provide assistance to those considering options for their own home. Note: this is not a standard plan by which we [Benson] or our clients need be limited."

This is a grand house; large and spacious, with the 4 bedrooms and 3-1/2 baths making it quite commodious. The cathedral living room is actually an entirely different timber frame, connected to the main body of the house but having its own design agenda. The master bedroom also has its own cathedral space and its own unique timber arrangement. In timber frame design, it is very difficult to fight off the temptation to create magnificent spaces by making exquisite trusses that give extra space and room for timber interplay. This house acquiesces comfortably to that temptation.""

Benson Woodworking - Plan 5
1992 Benson Woodworking Company, Inc.
"What timber proportions are right? How can timber frames be made to look formal, or informal? How can we integrate the frame in the home and produce a structure of timbers that is both beautiful and subtle? Can the frame reflect the nature of the home site?"

" . . . no matter how wonderful the frame, it takes an effort of an entirely different sort to make fine timber frame homes. Timbers shaping your living spaces can be an aesthetic benefit, enhancing and simplifying, or they can clutter and complicate."

The dining room is under the timber frame valley created by the gable intersection. This sort of framing is perhaps the most difficult aspect to timber frame joinery, so difficult it was not attempted by the colonial timber frame masters in this country. Fortunately, we are greatly aided today by calculators and computers to accurately describe and successfully fashion this compound hip and valley joinery.""

If you contact Benson Woodworking for information, you will receive a notebook with a thorough and understandable explanation of their timber framing techniques, some sample designs, and some excellent photographs. They customize each house, repeatedly refining their basic designs and construction methods.
"No matter what wood we use, our primary consideration when buying timbers is obtaining the highest quality available. . . . Trying to save money by compromising on the raw material is terrible economy.""

"Benson Woodworking supports efforts by timber frame and forestry groups to end the cutting, chipping, and exporting of our remaining virgin western forests. We own a stand of western trees which is being harvested on a sustained yield basis. We contribute to the tree planting efforts of the Timber Framers' Guild of North America. We are committed to the growing efforts to spare our eastern forests from the ravages of acid rain. Finally, we are investigating alternate timber sources, such as resawn timbers from demolished mill buildings . . ."
