timber framing

Timber framing is a traditional method of building that uses heavy wooden beams to create the structural framework of a building. Rather than relying on walls for support, the framework is made up of large timbers that are joined together using mortise-and-tenon joints, which provide strength and stability. This technique allows for open interior spaces and is often used in homes, barns, and other structures. Timber framing is valued for its aesthetic appeal, durability, and energy efficiency, as well as its ability to blend harmoniously with the natural environment.
