Building Charred Spruce Timber-Frame Houses

Laying the Foundation

Start with Charred Spruce Foundation and Charred Spruce Foundation Slab for the base course. These sit under the walls and read as a solid plinth. Above the foundation, place Charred Spruce Timber Frame and Charred Spruce Timber Frame Pillar to establish the structural skeleton. Pillars go at corners and at intervals along long walls; Timber Frame fills the panels between them.

Fill the gaps between the timber frame with Charred Spruce Planks, Charred Spruce Boards, or Charred Spruce Wall. Charred Spruce Plate is a thinner infill option for interior faces. For upper floors, Charred Spruce Slab and Charred Spruce Stairs handle the transitions.

Openings and Roof Details

Cut doorways with Charred Spruce Door and cover them with Charred Spruce Trapdoor where you want a half-height opening. Charred Spruce Shutter and Charred Spruce Tall Shutter close off windows without glass. Charred Spruce Fence and Charred Spruce Fence Gate work for exterior railings or yard boundaries, while Charred Spruce Railing suits balconies and stair edges.

For the roof, use Charred Spruce Roof Support along the eaves and Charred Spruce Beam, Charred Spruce Edge, Charred Spruce Lattice, and Charred Spruce Pergola for exposed framing. Charred Spruce Support Beam and Charred Spruce Support Slab add depth under overhangs. Charred Spruce Pergola is especially useful over a doorway or a garden path to suggest a covered entry.
