House Plans: Contemporary Timber Frame Home in a Conservation Area

When David and Flicky Ridel spotted a dilapidated bungalow, they decided it was the perfect site for their dream home. They planned to knock down the existing structure and build a contemporary timber frame property, complete with pool.

Thanks to their hands-on approach,  they managed to cut costs without compromising on quality. David’s experience as an architect meant design fees were eliminated, and he took on the role of project manager on site whenever possible, providing further savings.
