Our experience as technical professionals in the energy industry
gave us an appreciation for the 'Build Green' principles. Over
the past 10 years, we have applied these principles to energy efficient
design and construction in Oregon, Washington, California, and
Colorado.
We built a log home high in the
Rockies and for 8 years sold for a leading log home manufacturer.
After a few winters of log home living, we realized the
importance of energy conservation and building a tight, well-insulated
shell. We also felt if we were going to continue to offer our
design and construction project skills to customers, we needed
a product we could wholeheartedly endorse.
After extensive research,
we discovered that an old-world crafted timber frame home with
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) offers the beauty of wood
with double the R value of conventionally-insulated homes.
We evaluated the leading timber frame manufacturers and chose
Davis Frame Company based on their design expertise, high quality
timber standards, and customer service. Now, after building and
living in two of the Davis Frame homes, we are more convinced than
ever - Davis Frame is the best!
We
recently returned to our native Oregon, where we designed
and built our timber frame home. We took this opportunity to
incorporate the latest renewable energy technologies to provide
all our electricity, heat and domestic hot water needs. To
accomplish this we use solar electric and solar hot water panels
to compliment our passive solar home design. Now, we are living “off-the grid” and
loving it.
We invite you to come by and see our home, which is also our Timber
Frame model.
