This 36' x 52' heavy timber frame is specifically designed for hillside construction, making the most of sloped terrain with a multi level layout that separates space naturally while maintaining an open feel throughout. With 3,395 square feet, the structure provides generous room for a variety of uses across multiple levels. The design incorporates a lower level integrated into the slope, allowing for efficient use of grade changes while supporting the levels above. Upper floors benefit from increased height and openness, creating a sense of scale and bringing in natural light. A screened porch positioned off the gable end adds a functional outdoor extension that enhances the overall usability of the structure. Built with traditional mortise and tenon joinery, the frame offers long term strength and a classic timber frame presence. Its combination of vertical space, thoughtful layout, and site specific design makes it a strong option for those looking to build on uneven terrain without sacrificing usability or character.
