Mountain Style Homes with Log & Timber Accents
Combining log and timber frame components with conventional stick framing is the newest trend in mountain style design and construction. In response to this trend, Mountain Architects, PrecisionCraft’s team of experienced designers have introduced Mountain Accent™ homes.
Mountain Accent™ homes provide you with the look and feel of traditional log homes and timber frame homes without the necessity of building a full log or timber structure.
Floor Plan Concepts
Mountain Architects, PrecisionCraft’s esteemed architectural firm, focuses on the design of custom mountain style homes and has designed many award-winning plans, such as the Eagle's Nest, pictured to the left.
On our site, we display more than 65 floor plan concepts in which to inspire your own home. Each of these plans can be modified as a Mountain Accent™ home. Many of our plans even provide an example of what that modification might look like and its estimated turnkey price. However, keep in mind that your final design will be based on your specific architectural and product choices. All of our homes are custom.
So, whether you find a floor plan you want to modify, or come to us with your own vision, Mountain Architects will work one on one with you to design the luxury mountain style home of your dreams.

Mountain Accent™ Homes: A Structural Comparison
When you choose to build a Mountain Accent™ home, the log and timber portion of your design may be less structural, but it will still provide unique character and the true feel of mountain living.
How is my Turnkey Cost Affected?
Constructed using conventional framing, PrecisionCraft’s Mountain Accent™ homes are less costly to build than full log & timber homes. By incorporating log and timber accents into your design, you can build a home you will love at a substantially lower cost than a full log & timber frame home.

Mountain Accent™ Home or Log & Timber Hybrid
Although both are hybrid designs, it is the structure of the home that sets one apart from the other. If your hybrid design is built using either a log wall system or timber frame post and beam, then we consider that design to be a Log and Timber Hybrid because it is truly a partial or hybrid log and timber home.
A Mountain Accent™ home has a structure that is either all or mostly conventional stick frame construction. The addition of log and timber components add little or no structure to the frame of the house. Instead, the decorative log and timber components are used to provide the authentic look and feel of a mountain style home.

"Chances are when you hear the word “hybrid,” your thoughts immediately flip to the latest eco-craze in automotive technology. But, if you’re in the market for a log home, it is time to think “green.” We’re talking about saving Benjamins- the almighty buck."
