The Bennington Hybrid Timber Frame Home
Timber frame architecture offers durability, beauty, and versatility. “Stick-built” construction is more common, and the initial investment is often lower. Future homeowners with a smaller budget might consider giving up on their timber frame dream home because upfront costs might be higher.
But, with our Hybrid designs, there is a third way. For low maintenance, high efficiency, and great aesthetics, here you can opt for a single-story Brooks timber frame. Then, enjoy significant savings by topping it with a quality, stick-framed upper floor.
That’s what we did with the Bennington Hybrid: The first floor is a sturdy Brooks frame clad in super-efficient SIP wall panels, but the plans call for a conventionally built second floor. The first has the look and flexibility timber frames are famous for; the second takes a chunk off the price tag. Win-win!

The Rooms
The first floor flaunts that trademark timber frame open floor plan, dominated by a large, open common space comprised of the living room, dining area, and kitchen.
A first-floor master suite means The Bennington can accommodate your needs as your life changes. If single-floor living makes sense in your future, it’s got you covered!
Two porches mean that—sunset or sunrise—there’s always a payoff. Whether it’s coffee or cocktails, you need only step outside.
Crossing from timber frame into stick-built construction as you climb the stairs, you’ll notice… nothing. The transition between the two building styles is seamless.
A large central hallway opens onto two bedrooms and a full bath. Each bedroom has its own large closet, and the bathroom is roomy and bright.
