Lots of hard work on display in this recently completed Olive that we built in Central City, Iowa. We’ve modified this design many ways and this one includes an expanded second level.

Take a look at our field team in this on-the-job video sent to us from our client in Central City, Iowa.

Our team has been on the ground for five days in the sweltering humidity. These interior timbers are eastern white pine, a very stable and strong species. Most of the work on these timbers has been completed off site, at our headquarters in Western New York where our shop team crafts the joinery.

In the field it’s common for the timber frame to go up very fast. As you can see here, a huge part of our job is assembling and installing the SIP wall and roof panels. This combination of SIPs and timbers offers a unique blend of energy efficiency and design flexibility — while packaged in an outstanding looking home.
