Rochester Timber Frame

A home that belongs in its landscape.

Hudson Design and Build timber frame home in a meadow surrounded by autumn hills in Rochester, Vermont.
Rochester, Vermont
Finished living area

Approx. 2,650 sq ft

Rooms & layout

3 bedrooms · 2 full + 2 half baths

Project type

Timber frame

Finished living space includes the primary living area and lower suite. Garage and outdoor spaces are additional.

The project

From meadow to covered porch.

A timber frame home with a lower suite, covered outdoor spaces and solar systems.

The approach

Wood siding, stone, tall gable windows and a standing seam roof establish the exterior character. Covered spaces create a transition between the house and its surroundings.

How the home lives

The house offers several ways to experience the landscape, from the view through the gable to time on the porch or balcony.

In the homeowner’s words

“Patrick's vision of the home and design suggestions were invaluable…”

Understanding the investment

The home. The site. The extras.

Decks

The construction subtotal is the project budget less design, site work and decks. It includes project management. The rate divides that subtotal by 2,665 sq ft of finished living space; displayed figures are rounded.

Because this figure also includes garage and energy systems, it is not a direct comparison with the home-only tiers in our cost guide.
