Idaho

This custom Idaho home reflects a modern interpretation of mountain architecture, designed with a focus on clarity of form, natural light, and long-term livability. The composition balances clean, contemporary lines with natural materials, creating a home that feels both grounded and refined within its setting.

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 project demonstrates Tamlin’s ability to deliver complete home packages across the United States. Structural components, including timber frame elements and panelized wall systems, were manufactured in a controlled environment and delivered as a coordinated package aligned with the construction schedule.

By reducing on site labour and improving accuracy, this approach ensures that complex architectural details are executed as designed. The result is a more efficient and predictable construction process, particularly valuable for custom homes where precision and coordination are essential.
