Timber Frame Homes, Barns, Cottages, and Cabins
Custom Designs and Kits Built by Experienced Craftsmen
Aurora Timberframes and Barns is a small company of individuals dedicated to the tradition of joinery used in colonial New England homes and Maine barns. Our craftsmen have years of experience in joinery and raising timber frames and post and beam buildings. We choose projects that challenge our skills, emphasize architectural detail, blend with the local environment, and make good use of natural resources.
Timber Frame Tradition Meets Innovation
Aurora Timberframes offers a variety of models and building styles to meet your goals of quality, appearance, and affordability.
In addition to the traditional designs and techniques of timber frame construction, we also offer hybrid variations that combine the best of time-honored tradition with new fabrication techniques and materials.

Bring Us Your Floor Plan and We'll Build a Timber Frame Around It
Timber
frame homes can bedesigned "around" a floor plan.
Already have a floor plan in mind? Whether you've found a professionally drawn plan or have sketched one on a napkin, we can incorporate your plan into a timber frame.
Want some help designing a plan? Our designers will help you to create the perfect plan for your needs. We'll provide drawings and offer recommendations in energy efficiency, use of natural lighting, and traffic flow.
Floor plan possibilities are endless with a timber frame structure, because the strength of the timber frame construction is such that interior load bearing walls are not required. This allows opportunity for open floor plans and room configurations that are not available in conventionally-built homes.
