The house is featured on his Website Frankrobertsarchitect.com.2) An in-ground pool was part of the original approval from the conservation dept. However that approval has now expired and a new approval must be obtained if a pool is desired.3) The house is constructed utilizing a post and beam construction method.

The Timber Frame is Douglas fir, the floors are Ash, the kitchen cabinets are Hickory and the fireplace is Connecticut native granite..6) Timber Frame construction is known for its ability to provide an energy efficient home with respect to its heating costs. On average this home has used 1300 gallons of fuel oil per year. This compares well to a much smaller conventionally built home.

We did that to provide flexibility for future expansions of the home.8) There are a few options for possible expansions.
