Why should you choose BAARN?
The BAARN timber-frame house designs are based around off-site fabric first construction principles for reduced costs and improved energy efficiency.
The BAARN service includes adaptable timber-frame designs to suit your needs.
You decide the level of BAARN service required, from an oak-frame shell for self-builders - to a full managed service.
Roderick James Architects have designed four different house types - each timber-frame house has flexible design possibilities:
- BAARN Sail Loft - a deceptively spacious house with engineered frame
- BAARN Loft House - the classic oak framed barnhouse
- BAARN Sky Pavilion - an elegant house based on a mono-pitch pole-barn
- BAARN Prairie Cabin - beautifully simple timber frame cabin with integral verandah
- BAARN Bespoke - the BAARN ethos applied to your own house design
The BAARN timber-frame house service includes your own dedicated Project Architect provided by Roderick James Architects, who will guide you through obtaining the necessary permissions.
Our Architects have built a reputation over the last forty years for good quality contemporary timber frame house design with a focus on space, light and adaptable layouts using sustainable construction methods.
You can choose the level of interior and exterior finishes to suit your personal taste and budget - from traditional green oak frame interiors to contemporary whitewashed softwood.
Our designers offer a free initial meeting at one of our offices, so please do get in touch!
