Timber Frame Gallery
Timber Frame Pavilions Gallery — Outdoor & Hospitality Structures
Custom timber frame pavilions built by Hearthstone Design Build across Northern Virginia — pool-court pavilions, event pavilions at wineries and breweries, and community gathering structures. Every pavilion is custom-engineered and hand-cut in mortise-and-tenon joinery, structurally rated for Virginia snow and wind loads, and integrated with the surrounding hardscape, kitchen, and hearth program.

How Hearthstone Frames Are Built
Every timber frame Hearthstone Design Build delivers is custom-engineered and hand-cut in mortise-and-tenon joinery by our specialty timber fabrication partners. Timber species is selected based on structural requirements, architecture, appearance, availability, and budget. Douglas Fir is commonly specified for structural timber frames, while other species may be selected based on the project. Enclosure is typically SIP (structural insulated panels) for a continuous thermal envelope, though conventional framing over timber is used on hybrid projects. Raising day is the moment the frame becomes the finished architecture — cranes, crews, and precision coordination in three to five days on most residential frames.

Frequently Asked
- Can I tour a completed timber frame?
- Private tours of select recent builds are arranged for serious prospective clients after a discovery call and owner permission. Most timber frame residences are private homes; commercial timber frame work at wineries, breweries, and community amenities is generally more accessible.
- Do you build timber frame outside Loudoun County?
- Yes — Hearthstone operates across Loudoun, Fauquier, and Clarke counties, with select projects across Northern Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley.
- What wood species do you use?
- Douglas Fir baseline; White Oak +$25/sq ft; reclaimed antique +$40/sq ft. Species selection happens during schematic design alongside joinery and enclosure decisions.
