Timber Home Walkthrough - Featuring Porte Cochere and Back Patio Lakefront Porch.

In this video, Bert explains the evolution of the timber frame design for this big one-story rustic residence in WA. He discusses many of the reasons for some of the unique design choices that are exhibited and why they work with this home.
Featuring a massive “porte cochere”, this distinctive rustic home has a “massive” feel to the entrance and back patio cover. From front to back, everything about this home is big. From the two garages on either side of the porte cochere, to the large 5-car garage shop, it makes use of large timbers and has some elements of Craftsman lines, albeit in a sized-up Rustic footprint.Featuring a massive “porte cochere”, this distinctive rustic home has a “massive” feel to the entrance and back patio cover.

Often bents are spaced apart to accommodate the strength of the timbers
