Mountain Accent Homes | Conventional Frame Designs

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™ are an affordable option, providing you with the look and feel of traditional log homes and timber frame homes and access to all the great designs developed by Mountain Architects.

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.

The Design Process for a Mountain Accent Home™

The design process for a Mountain Accent Home™ is the same as for any PrecisionCraft plan. The overall goal is to design a custom home that matches your lifestyle, build location, architectural style preference, and budget.

You may find the perfect floor plan in our Floor Plan Gallery or you may have a design idea all your own. Whether your design is based on one of our floor plan ideas or not, Mountain Architects will work with you to refine the concept and create a home that matches your vision and budget. Any of our floor plans can be redesigned as a Mountain Accent Home™.

Mountain Accent Home™ vs. 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 an authentic look and feel of a mountain style home.
