Cabin Creek Timber Frames Offices, Design Center, Beamery & Machine Shop - Franklin, NC near Otto, NC

This timber frame office structure attaches to a manufacturing complex south of Franklin on Hwy 441 near Otto, NC. The timber frame is of Eastern White Pine. The conference room is 16 feet by 16 ft featuring a compound joinery ceiling with dragon beams and intersecting hammer beam bents.

The main timber frame is composed of four crown post bents with common rafters; the timber frame features double curved arched knee braces. This design came from a 13th-14th century English pattern of building called a "Wealden Hall." The buildings were built in southeastern England in a forested area called the "Weald."The timber frame entry porch has been designed so that the two bents are significantly different in style.
