24' x 36' Montsweag House

This home was designed as a primary residence for a young growing family. The timber frame is a high-posted cape with ridge pole, fashioned from native Hemlock timbers, sanded and oiled. The unique slip-joint cross-ties provide the option for a ceiling on the second floor and create an attic storage loft above (or even the possiblity of a play space for children). This floorplan includes two bedrooms and full bath on the second floor as well as an open cathedral space over the livingroom.

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