The Dresden: A 20' x 24' Timber Frame Great Room & Home Addition

An expansive 20' x 24' addition, the Dresden was crafted to complement an 18th-century farmhouse with a spacious, timber-framed great room. Featuring high ceilings, exposed beams, and a rustic pine roof deck, the structure is wrapped in a super-insulated SIP system for maximum energy efficiency. Finished with sheetrock walls, it offers a bright, open environment perfect for entertaining and large group gatherings.

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