Hybrid Timber Frame Project at Logan Martin Lake
At Texas Architectural Timbers, we take pride in supplying exceptional specialty building materials that bring architectural visions to life. One of our recent projects, a stunning hybrid timber frame home on a private island at Logan Martin Lake, Alabama, showcases the beauty, strength, and craftsmanship that timber framing can offer.
Project Overview
This remarkable home, designed by Phillip Black of B Group Architecture in Birmingham, is a hybrid timber frame structure that blends modern and traditional elements. Fabricated from kiln-dried Douglas Fir, the frame features full mortise and peg joinery, a technique that enhances both durability and aesthetics.
The result is a warm, inviting space with exposed timber elements that complement the home’s natural lakeside surroundings. The rich grain and warm tones of Douglas Fir add character and depth, while the structural integrity of the frame ensures lasting strength.
Why Hybrid Timber Frames?
Hybrid timber frame construction combines the elegance of traditional timber framing with conventional construction methods. This approach allows homeowners and architects to incorporate exposed beams and handcrafted joinery while maintaining flexibility in design and budget.
Key Features of This Project:
✔ Kiln-Dried Douglas Fir – Known for its superior strength and stability
✔ Full Mortise & Peg Joinery – A time-honored technique for enduring craftsmanship
