24x30 King's Post

The 24' × 30' King Post timber frame is a balanced, efficient design rooted in classic timber-frame tradition. Built around a true king post truss system, it achieves a generous open span with fewer timbers, controlling material use while preserving the structural clarity and visual character expected of a traditional frame.

Unlike many compact designs, this frame maintains strong vertical proportions and a comfortable eave height. The king post trusses create an open great room below while supporting a practical loft that functions as real living space rather than marginal headroom. The loft is well suited for a bedroom, office, or private retreat, with clear sightlines over the main living area. The loft floor system can be extended to increase second-level square footage as needed.

This design is well suited for a primary residence, cabin, or retirement home where simplicity, efficiency, and long-term livability are priorities.
