Custom Timber Frame Barn Features a Basketball Court

Full Circle is a community center built around a love of food, nature, and music. It’s a place where residents of the Hudson Valley can gather and connect with one another, supported by local businesses and events. When it came time for nonprofit Full Circle Commons to build this community center, they chose the warmth and natural feeling of post & beam. We designed and built a custom 40' x 118' timber frame barn with an open lean-to overhang in Gardiner, NY. Large timbers, custom trusses, and clear spans define this community center. The open and airy design combined with the rustic timber framing creates a unique space beloved by the community. Let’s take a closer look at this post & beam barn, and the bakehouse, lounge, and music hall that call it home. 

Two horses call this spacious 30' x 24' Hampden Horse Barn home. The Hampden Horse Barn has a center aisle design, characterized by a wide open central aisle, stalls on both sides, and two sets of sliding doors on both ends of the aisle. The 30' x 24' footprint allows for two 12' x 10' stalls to house the horses. On the other side, another stall acts as hay storage, and a closed door leads to the tack room. Dutch doors in each of the two stalls let the horses out into their paddock. Let’s take a tour.

Immerse yourself in the sights and sounds of nature in this secluded 12' x 22' A-Frame Cabin. Located beside a brook in the woods of Chesterfield, MA, this cabin offers a luxurious camping experience for solo campers or couples. This cabin was sent to the customer as a timber frame kit, and they finished the build themselves and turned it into a vacation spot for guests. Spend nights by the fire, and head inside the cabin to rest in the queen sized bed. In the morning, a coffee & tea station is there to help you get ready for a day of hiking, swimming, and enjoying the outdoors. The authentic post & beam construction of the A-Frame fits right in with the surrounding area. 

Our crew recently raised a 26' x 26' Telluride Timber Frame Pavilion on the town green in Granville, MA. Gifted to the town by a long-time resident with donations from other locals, this pavilion is a great spot to enjoy all the rural New England town has to offer. Four picnic tables nestled beneath the pavilion are ideal for having lunch from the Granville Country Store right across the street. The Telluride has king post trusses, common rafters, and steep braces. The large timber trusses are visually interesting, with authentic mortise & tenon joinery using hardwood oak pegs.
