Night Pasture Farm is in Chelsea, VT. Vermont Timber Works provided the timber frame for this home.
We worked closely with Bonin Architects & Associates, PLLC and the client on this project to get every single design detail just right. They had an amazing vision, and we’re proud to have done our part to make it happen!
With over 26 years of experience designing, engineering and building custom timber frames, we can assure our clients that our frames are the best in the industry.

Explore The Home - The Exterior
The exterior of the home features arched support timbers and canted posts. The home is located on a mountain looking out over a valley. Location is one important thing to think about when designing a timber frame. Building codes vary by location. The structure needs to be able to stand strong against wind and snow loads.

After a timber frame has been fabricated in our Vermont shop, our crew often travels to the job site to assemble and raise the frame. The same people who cut the frame do the assembly.
