Green Woodlands LEED Certified Residential Home
Mink Hill Timber Frame Homes was fortunate to be part of the team that designed and built Bob and Sandy Green’s LEED Certified House on part of a 20,00 acre of land in Dorchester, New Hampshire.
We had previously worked with Stuart White of Banwell Architects, Michael Bruss of Bruss Construction and Ed Levin of Paradigm Builders. This team that Bob and Sandy Green had assembled to fulfill their dream of building a model Green home was exceptional and we wanted to be one of the players in the worst way! We convinced Bob and Sandy and the rest of the team that the only timber frame approach that would fit the spirit of the Green Woodlands “ Green Project” would be for the timber framers to live on site and for the timber frame design to take advantage of the naturally curved trees that could be sourced out within the vast forest.
The layout of the frame would be a traditional “ French Scribe “ plumb line scribe incorporating live edge organic timbers. The timber surface would be finished dressed with an adze prior to the scribe lay up.. The joinery would be cut by hand without the use of power tools. We would rough out the joinery using large timber frame hand saws “ Man and a Boy saws” and axes. The finishing of the joinery would be executed with chisels and hand planes. The talented and enthusiastic crew consisted of the following timber frame designer and joiners:
Ed Levin, Kyle Whitehead, Tim Berube, Matt Steele, Lucas Fowler, Kurt Martin, Jesse Lazar, Romeo Dubreuil, Rusty Partridge, Dan Paul. and Jason Paul.
