:: About Us ::

Samuelson Timberframe Design Inc. is a design studio committed to the provision of innovative, bespoke timber frame design solutions. These designs are thoughtfully developed to align with the unique aspirations of each client and to optimally utilize the natural features of the designated building site. Our design methodology incorporates advanced 3D modeling, enabling clients to intuitively navigate the proposed structure through walk-through and fly-around functionalities, thereby facilitating comprehension of spatial relationships. The integration of the 3D model within a site context provides a valuable pre-construction visual representation. Furthermore, the generation of multiple interior and exterior perspective views throughout the design process aids in the clear articulation of the building's form. Clients have consistently recognized this capability as a significant cost-saving benefit by mitigating the need for alterations during the construction phase. Upon completion of the design phase, comprehensive working drawings are produced, providing the necessary information for building permit applications, general contractors, and timberframe fabrication.
