The Chelsea Trim combines contemporary styling with traditional timber framing, and its footprint is ideal for a narrow building lot. Guests are invited inside through the covered porch. Upon entering, the point of focus becomes a handsome stone fireplace that anchors the living space. The typical open flow of the kitchen, dining room, and great room remains, but there exists a smart differentiation without walls… the dining room is highlighted by its own vaulted space, and a timber post joins the fireplace to delineate the kitchen from the great room. Throughout, the underlying order of the timber frame structure provides a sense of strength and shelter that permeates all well-designed timber frame homes.
More outdoor living space is provided by the cozy screened porch off the dining room and adjacent to the great room. There’s plenty of room for a spacious home office in its own corner of the first floor. Upstairs, a loft overlooks the dining area and begs for built-in shelves and a reading nook. The Chelsea Trim is an open plan that understands the need for private spaces.
"The quality & accuracy of VTF's truss system & panelized SIP roof system assemblies went well beyond my expectations. Your in-house designers, fabrication process and attention to delivering a quality product to a client is exceptional."
