Idaho

At the center of the design is a timber framed great room, where exposed Douglas Fir structure defines the space and introduces warmth and character. Large windows bring natural light into the interior while framing views of the surrounding landscape, reinforcing the connection between the home and its environment.

The home is organized as a full two-storey layout, with the upper level dedicated to bedrooms and private living spaces. This arrangement creates a clear separation between shared and private areas, supporting both everyday functionality and long-term comfort. The main floor is designed for gathering, with a natural flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas that supports both daily living and entertaining.

An integrated two-car garage is incorporated into the overall form of the home, allowing for efficient day-to-day use while maintaining a cohesive architectural expression. The garage connects directly to the interior, reinforcing the practicality of the layout in a four-season climate.

Material choices emphasize durability and performance, with timber elements grounding the interior and contributing to a cohesive design language. The home is supported by high-performance building systems that respond to Idaho’s seasonal climate, ensuring comfort and efficiency throughout the year.

The Efficiency of Prefabrication

This Idaho home brings together a full two storey layout, an integrated garage and a timber framed great room within one coordinated structural package. The timber elements and panelized wall systems were designed and manufactured together, helping the home’s different volumes connect accurately during assembly.

The completed package was then delivered to Idaho in coordination with the construction schedule and local building requirements. Preparing the major structural components in advance reduced the amount of fitting and adjustment required at the site while helping preserve the clean architectural form of this highly customized home.
