For over 40 years, Normerica has been setting the standard for exceptional timber frame structures. We've designed and built over 2,000 timber frame buildings and delivered them across Canada and around the world. We've built everything from off-the-grid cabins to a 50,000 square foot Olympic facility. We would love to help make your dream home a reality.

Why so many cracking on the trusses?
Good question! The timbers from our Eastern White Pine (EWP) frames are harvested and milled in the winter months before being stored and allowed to air dry. When the timbers are planned and then manufactured by our CNC machine, however, they are still considered "green", with a relatively high moisture content. Once the timbers are erected and enclosed in a building and that space is conditioned, the speed at which those timbers dry increases. As the timbers dry faster on the surface than they do near the heartwood, the result is the occurrence of these cracks, which is called checking. It's a normal occurrence which, except for a in very rare circumstances, does not jeopardize the structural integrity of the frame. We find it adds character to the frame, and the occurrences of these checks will slow down as the timber dries. The folks at Shelter Institute have a wonderful couple of videos on green wood in timber framing and some precautionary measures than can be taken to limit checking, which you can find here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2dtyNenaazdmsY.htmlsi=njwSCe6e8z5St_V6 We do have kilns at a our manufacturing facility. For Douglas fir frames, we use free of heart centre (FOHC) timbers and we kiln dry the material. Douglas fir takes to kiln drying much better than EWP does. The kiln-dried FOHC timber tends to check less than EWP. For those clients who really want to avoid checking in their timbers, glulam timbers are an option.
The second building I would want to have garages underneath with bedrooms or game room.Upstairs and more bedrooms in the house beautiful home
Good suggestions - maybe we'll have to do another building for these folks! Thanks for your comment!
I lik tiny homes that means only the land would be a lot I think my budgeit is for 500.00for a house and 58’00O.oo for act 😢😮❤😂
Perfect
Where is this building?
This project is located in Vermont right near Sugarbush Resort!
beautifull
Thank you 😊
Nice looking cabin. I'm in the process of planning something similar. I love that term "Adult Children"
This channel doesn’t really engage with people, huh?
We have someone on board to change that now! :)
What a stunning modern log cabin… it’s cozy too. Where is this house located?
Thanks for the comment! This house is located near Collingwood, Ontario, Canada.
Do you have plans for this? I did not see any links for plans. My wife and I are looking to move out of Chicago and back to the New England area and a timber frame home is exactly what I’m looking for like this. Please share links for plans if you have them!
Thanks for the comment! This was a custom project, but if you email [email protected] one of the team will be able to track them down for you.
Can i get a full cabin tour?
This is just a video walkthrough of a Revit model we did for a new design. We will be building this model for a client in Muskoka, Ontario later this year. Reach out to us at [email protected] and we would be happy to share photos!
I can do so many donuts in my car in that driveway 😂😂
Nice looking cabin. I like the simplicity of the shed roof design... I have been thinking of something similar for a cabin and alongside guest cabin - though I am in Sweden. Did you guys use SIPs panels for the walls and roof? I hear that SIPS are popular in North America... here, not so much. Only really see metal faced PUR or fiberglass sandwich panels used in commercial buildings here with steel framing holding the load.
Thanks for the comment! We do use SIPS, but in this instance, that is not what was designed. What is contemplated is almost like a site built SIP - 3/4" T&G over the rafters with 6mm poly, two courses of 3.5" polyiso rigid insulation with staggered seams, and then 5/8" ZIP System roof sheathing.
Gorgeous
Thanks!
where are you located ???????????
Thanks for the comment! We're located in Innisfil, Ontario, Canada. Most of projects are in Ontario, but we have done projects all across Canada and in 18 countries around the world!
thankyou! i come from Fort Frances, Ontario which is south of Kenora, Ontario,, have ever build in and around Kenora Ontario Please what Innisfail Ontario near that i might know thankyou!
@@marcs9453 We've done a few projects on Lake of the Woods, which isn't far from you. Innisfil is just south of Barrie and about an hour north of Toronto.
thankyou love your work thankyou!!!@@normericatimberhomes8230
Going to be looking at this model in a couple years. Beautiful.
Thanks, Daniel!
This is beautiful. Its given me some great ideas thank you.
You're welcome! Good luck with your project.
How can I reach you guys? I like this plan, can I get the plans?
Thanks for the comment! You can reach out to us via email at [email protected].
@@normericatimberhomes8230 thank you!
House tours in 2:41 minutes what a fool
love the kitchen....could stay there throughout the tour.
Thanks for the comment! The kitchen has a nice warm feel to it indeed.
I see all these great lake homes with not so great yards. Massive house tiny sloped yards. It is nice to be by water but pools and outdoor spaces make it even nicer to enjoy the outdoors. Nice house, but huge waste of space.
Оригинально👍
Plain interior decoration.
Dream home.
We think it's pretty dreamy, too. We love A frames, but don't seem to do many of them.
This has to be the most perfect home that I have ever seen. It’s like it was taken straight from my dreams. The materials, decorations, and floor plan are exactly what I would pick. Outstanding job to the designers and workers on this project. 🎉
Thanks so much!
This is absolutely incredible! Who did the interior design?
Thanks for the comment! Normerica did the architectural design, construction drawings, and supplied the building envelope (pre-manufactured timber frame, wall and roof systems, windows, and cladding). We are builders, too, but we did not build this project. We'll see if we can find that information from the clients and get back to you.
Gas fireplaces in a house like that??? Epic fail!👎👎👎
No basement shots?
Nice
Классный аквариум
Would like longer videos that show more detail
Thanks for the comment. We'll see what we can do for future ones.
How much arethe house plans for this home
Reach out to us at [email protected] and one of our team can surely help.
Beautiful interior. Could this design be modified with a flat roof and still withstand the Canadian climate?
It certainly could, though you would probably have to use a modified bitumen roof membrane with no metal roofing.
Хорошие решение, со вторым светом!
I like these uploads, why it only has a few views....god only knows. Keep up the good work
Thanks for your comment, and your support!
What is the sqftage. What does Te floor plan look like?
Footprint is about 1,650sf, total of 3,300sf conditioned space with the finished basement. Floor plan can be found here: normerica.com/houses/the-redstone-3975/
A very tasteful house
Fabulous
So beautifully built and designed! Wow!
Thanks for the comment and kind words!
If you’re gonna show it, then show it!👎
Really nice. I like when there is some sheetrock inside, so that it doesn't look like a sauna everywhere.
Thanks for the comment. It's a nice contrast. A lot of our clients are doing white vertical or horizontal shiplap for interior cladding and it mixes really well with natural timbers.
Wouldn't that be beautiful for a winter home? Christmas decor would be glorious !!!
I wonder what the master bedroom looked like I could only imagine
I love the open floor plan and the high ceiling
Hell I'd even live there
I'd be pretty happy there, too!
Where is the fridge room for deer and boar?
love it, well done. Nearly perfect for me, just need a town near by. BEAUTIFUL.
How many ppl do u have to rattle around in there? I like space, but, looks as if 5 adults could live there easily with not too mush irritating interaction...tgthr when u want/apart when u want.
Thanks for the comment!
Very nice, sign me up :)
How much
Normerica only did the design, construction drawings, and supplied the building shell for this project. Someone at [email protected] might be able to get some additional information for you.
