Chalet Timber Frames.
Classically found in Alpine settings, typically used by ski and hiking enthusiasts. The home designs normally consist of a gently sloping roof and wide, well-supported eaves, set at right angles to the front of the house with exposed structural members, and often decoratively carved brackets, stair, and balcony railings.
Rustic Mountain Timber Frames.
This design style tends to be more rustic than the typical home (thus the name), consisting of bold, natural, and textured buildings to match the rugged mountainous environments giving it a rustic elegance as well as blending into the land, using the landscape and terrain to shape the house through a multi-level design. The broad multiple-level roof line matches the terrain's multiple elevation changes to protect against the elements (winter snowfall and spring rain). Roofs generally have larger and more pronounced overhangs, much different from a traditional home design. It uses nature by bringing the outdoors in, extending indoor living spaces to the outside (outdoor living rooms) with decks, terraces, and other exterior areas. The home design makes use of the surrounding trees, boulders, and other landforms, incorporating them into the home and the outdoor living rooms.
