Of all the materials on this planet, wood is the most beloved. Heavy wooden timbers artfully crafted into a sturdy house frame held together with mortise and tenon joinery delight the eye and warm the spirit. Over 200 striking color photos and more than 100 line drawings introduce the reader to the advantages of merging traditional timber frame construction with modern, conventional building materials to create stunning hybrid homes for the twenty-first century. These homes blend the beauty of wood and the comfort of conventional building materials.

The engaging text provides a detailed history of timber frame construction, details the range of choices available in timber frame hybrid construction, and provides a sweeping photographic essay of fifty building projects representing a wide range of approaches to configurations, styles, surfaces, finishes, and budgets.

English Heritage Buildings won their spurs in the restoration of old beamed roofs and historic half-timbered houses. Thanks to this experience the company can respond quickly to the continually growing demand for new, comfortable structures with a traditional oak frame and softwood weatherboarding. The new buildings are often multifunctional and can be used as a home office, garage, pool house, guest accommodation, covered terrace, shop or garden shed, as well as many other uses.

The oak roof trusses are constructed using traditional models and with centuries-old craftsmen's techniques. These buildings are durable and charming; they are made to measure to the client s wishes.

Under the management of Peter Pollet and Koen Bouteligier English Heritage Buildings have set up an independent associated company to launch these buildings on the continent as well.
English Heritage Buildings oak-framed buildings are so beautiful that they immediately attract the eye.

The author, Ivo Pauwels tells the story of this centuries-old building technique and brings back the forgotten knowledge of the materials of roof trusses, pantiles, thatch, softwood and oak. In your mind's eye you can see the old carpenters back at work. Leading photographer Jan Verlinde was able to take most of the photographs in this book on the continents, but also found his inspiration in England.

In this rare examination of the work of one of America’s preeminent interior designers and architects, David Easton, we are treated to a retrospec­tive of his storied career.

The versatility of his talent is displayed in examples of his work that range from a 45-room Georgian-style house in Charlottesville, Virginia, to a Mediterranean stucco house in Mexico and a modern house in Aspen, Colorado. Black-and-white pencil draw­ings alongside museum-quality watercolours by Easton’s partner, James Steinmeyer, show the conception and development of the rooms, accompanied by stunning photographs of the finished interiors.

Written with Annette Tapert, author of The Power of Style and former contribut­ing editor to Architectural Digest, and with a foreword by famed designer Albert Hadley, Timeless Elegance will serve as a homage to David Easton as well as an inspira­tion to his many fans.
