Timber frame construction gives a home the flexibility to fit a difficult site instead of reshaping the site to fit the home.

This island cottage build is a good example β€” framed to preserve the surrounding trees, with a dining room angled for its own private lake view and a scissor-truss great room built around a skylight.

Progress update from our waterfront build in Innisfil! πŸ—οΈπŸŒŠ

Our customized Brighton bungalow is taking shape with local builder Dada Homes. Timber frame construction started on-site July 6, and by early August the framing was up β€” including a covered timber porch that's already framing up gorgeous lake views.

Windows and siding are next, scheduled for end of August.

There's something special about watching a timber frame come together board by board on a site like this.

Clients have always arrived at the first design meeting with a folder of images. Increasingly, some of those images aren't photos at all β€” they're generated in thirty seconds by an AI tool.

🏑 Where AI actually helps: exploring finish options like siding, roofing, and window colour on your own Normerica design

πŸ“ Where it can't go: the Revit model and the engineering that confirms what's buildable

β€” Cozy luxury, timber frame style.

Natural materials, quiet colour palettes, light-filled rooms, and eye-catching focal points like cathedral ceilings and soaring fireplaces β€” these are the ingredients that make a timber frame home feel both warm and elevated. Take a look back at some of our favourite cozy luxury homes, from the Cypress to the Woodland Retreat.

Meet the Baril 3514 β€” a 1,832 sq. ft. bungalow cottage with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all on one level.

The kitchen, dining room, and living room open into each other under a shared cathedral timber frame ceiling, and the 216 sq. ft. Muskoka room off the living room carries that same ceiling out into a bright, four-season space. A hip roof keeps the exterior low-profile, and a shed dormer lets extra light into the great room.

Originally released in 2011 and refreshed in 2023, the Baril is fully customizable and Net Zero and Energy Star ready.

Every property has something to say about how it should be built β€” the slope, the soil, the water table, how you get equipment in, what your municipality allows.

We've spent almost 50 years learning how to read a site before the design starts. Here are the conditions we always check first, and how early attention turns each one into an advantage.

Throwback Thursday to six cottages that never let you forget you're at the lake. 🌊

This post takes you inside six Normerica timber frame cottages that each found a different way to bring the outdoors in β€” a Georgian Bay retreat that nearly disappears into the trees, a Muskoka island cottage with lake views from the primary bathtub, a great room with a glass staircase that frames the water from the moment you walk in, and more.

We break down what makes each design work, from cathedral ceilings to folding Muskoka room doors that erase the boundary between inside and out.

Timber frame in progress in New Jersey. ❄️

This porte-cochère and carport is going up truss by truss, right over stone piers that were already doing all the heavy lifting. Nothing beats watching a frame like this come together — every joint cut and fit before it ever left the shop.

Excited to see this roof close in. πŸͺ΅
