MANY HANDS MAKE THE WORK OF INSTALLING
LARGER POSTS LIGHTERRand
Soellner Architect, in association with its engineers, has developed
a unique and surprisingly economical method of reinforcing tall
gable window walls with timber posts that knit those 24 foot-plus
tall wall framing members together to resist the 120+ mph winds that
mountain homes can experience. The result is a wonderful exposed
timber post detail that has a nice mountain lodge appearance that
adds warmth to the space and value to the home. |

Wolf LodgeWe
created several homes in a special mountain lodge series for an
entire community. The developer loved one of our 4BR-4Ba-2car plans
and wanted to use it as the main offering, but we agreed that the
elevations should vary to give the neighborhood interest. |
