In the world of custom homes, bigger isn’t always better. Just ask the owners of this 1,659-square-foot timber frame retreat, nestled into the mountains in northern New Hampshire. Built for a young family that loves to spend their time enjoying the great outdoors, this modern take on a “mountain lodge” style features a kiln-dried Douglas fir frame and an open plan that lives large despite the modest square footage.
“The post-and-beam frame allowed us to create the expansive cathedral ceilings, which ultimately led to the open-concept design,” explains Jon Sevigny, senior designer at Yankee Barn Homes in Grantham, New Hampshire.
Well-placed, oversized windows also make the house feel more spacious, while offering sweeping views of the local mountain ranges. Other highlights in the three-bedroom, two-bathroom house include an upper loft that doubles as both a sitting area and play room for the kids, and a large deck off the front of the home — a feature that almost doubles the living space in warmer months.
