The Beemer Frame - 20'x27’ Hand Hewn Timber Frame with Loft

The Beemer Frame is based on a timber frame design by the late Will Beemer. Will and his wife, Michele, founded the Heartwood School in Massachusetts in 1978. It has since moved to New Hampshire (www.heartwoodschool.com). We made some changes, most notably using massive hand hewn timbers. About half of the timbers are reclaimed barn beams and the other half are new hand hewn white oak. It would make a great hunting cabin, tiny home or guest house. It is full of rustic charm, like hand hewn and live edge timbers, that are coupled with modern design. The tall ceilings and massive timbers create a cozy space you won't want to leave.

Features include:

- 20' x 27' footprint (16' x 20' main frame with 11' lean-to)

- 158 square foot loft with ladder access

- 19th century reclaimed timbers

- Traditional mortise and tenon joinery - all cut in our shop

- 19' 11" roof peak 

- 6"x6" white oak rafters

- Half lapped, dovetailed collar ties

- 2 door openings

- Massive 12"x12" timbers, along with many other large sizes

The Greensburg Frame (AVAILABLE)

The Greensburg Frame measures 32’ wide x 44’ long. It is constructed with hand hewn beech beams and predates the 1880s. It is comprised of 4 bents made from 8”x8” posts and 6”x6” tie beams - all of which are hand hewn beech beams. We plan to shorten this frame to make the peak 22’ tall. A loft can be added down the entire center of the barn, or just on the two ends. Any timber frame modifications needed can be completed by us. We will also work directly with an engineer and architect to turn this frame into your dream home or getaway lodge. This barn is still standing in Greensburg, Indiana and is available to tour by appointment.
