On The Drawing Board

Take a quick peek at our recent works in progress.

Below you will find a few of our “On The Drawing Board” designs here at Custom Timber.

Log Home Design is a little different from conventional home design. The build process is a little more complicated and a little less known by most builders. Log Home Builders are much harder to find, but we do our best to put you in touch with the best available builders in your area. We can also build in our local area of networks, so contact us today for more information.

The Locke Carriage Home

The Locke Phase 1

Custom Frame and Timber Structure

Location: Friendsville, TN

This carriage home is the first of three stages of construction, with a boat dock and main home to be completed in the near future. The carriage home will be used for storage, a work area for woodworking and mechanic work, and a temporary housing location as the main home is being built.

The structure features a full living area with a large woodworking area on the main level. The main level will be built using Span deck technology for free-standing room with no post locations in either the main level or the lower level.

The Jordan Home

Location: Townsend, TN

The Jordan home is in the initial design phase. The design features three full bedrooms on two levels, with one Master Suite, and a large Great Room and Kitchen which encompasses most of the home from front to back.

The attached two-car garage is connected to a breezeway and the home.

The Welch Home

Custom Log Home Model

Location: Walland, TN

The Welch home is being constructed in Walland Tn. The design features two full bedrooms on the main level, with one Master Suite, and a large Great Room and Kitchen which encompasses the entire depth of the home from front to back.

The attached two car garage was originally configured as a carport, but the switch was made before the planning process was finalized. This home could easily be made into a three bed home by changing the office area into a full bedroom.
