Timber Ridge Residence Framing

Set within the forest near Truckee, the Timber Ridge Residence is a new single-family custom home featuring split-level construction, a truss roof system, and selected structural steel beams. Compared with some of S. R. Freeman's more logistically demanding Tahoe projects, the site provided good access and allowed for a relatively straightforward framing approach.

Completed in collaboration with Parker Construction, the project also became an important relationship-building opportunity. The successful experience helped establish a strong working relationship that led to additional projects in other locations..

The Timber Ridge Residence demonstrates how a well-planned structural system can bring a custom home together within a distinctive mountain environment.

Its split-level configuration creates changing elevations throughout the structure, while the truss roof establishes the home's upper structural form. Selected steel beams were incorporated where required to support the overall framing system.

With good site access and a collaborative project team, S. R. Freeman was able to focus on organized field execution and the craftsmanship behind the structure..

Not every custom home presents the same degree or type of construction challenge.

For Timber Ridge, good site access and a relatively conventional structural approach created favorable conditions for the framing work. The split levels, roof trusses, and steel elements still required experienced execution, but the project demonstrates SRF's ability to adapt its approach to what the individual build actually requires.

Rather than adding unnecessary complexity, the focus remained on executing the structural work efficiently and consistently.
