Decorative Timber Accents:
The Cure for Boring First Impressions
2016 Spring
Greg and Lisa wanted their home's exterior to be as striking as their newly remodeled, eclectic interior. After a brainstorm session, we used our Decorative Timber Accents to quickly transform the facade. Yet, the entry still needed something special. Through real-time collaboration, we landed on a unique rustic-modern canopy supported by stone pillars. This process highlights the flexibility of ATF's approach. Even after the design is 'finalized', we remain open to real-time changes if it enhances the final result. Ready for your own transformation?
The Simple ATF Green Building Method
2015 Winter
Choosing the right timber design is just the start of your dream home journey! A foundation built by qualified professionals is crucial – it not only ensures the structural integrity of your house but also dictates its future. A poorly built foundation invites expensive repairs, uneven settling, and costly aesthetic issues over time. This can negate the beauty and environmental benefits of your timber features. So, invest wisely! Hire a team that understands the unique needs of timber homes and prioritizes lasting quality. Your future self will thank you!

We specialize in capturing the desired look and feel, optimizing proportions, choosing the right style, and adding those subtle touches that elevate the entire project. Schedule a brainstorm to boost your creative energy and ensure a timber package you and your clients will love for years to come.

Tale of Two Remodels
2014 Spring
Not every home is suited for a timber remodel! However, the right design can transform a space with surprising speed and ease. Sometimes the perfect solution is simply knowing what NOT to do, while other times a flash of inspiration leads to dramatic changes. On one project, a kitchen remodel seemed off, but a few days later, we found the perfect timber addition to balance the space. Pre-fabrication and careful planning made the job a whirlwind of dust and excitement as the new timbers went in! Ready to explore your home's potential?
