Building a Landmark
Celebrating 25 years of business, Big Timberworks offers diversity in sustainable building practices

One of the homeowners loved the clean sleek lines associated with metal and

“Our design-build projects allow us to bring all these different elements of the company together — it’s like painting an picture,” he mused, “there’s a cohesiveness to those projects that’s very satisfying.”
Over the course of time, with Adams’ influence and the hand of many talented craftspeople, BT has established its own architectural style, a fluid rustic modern design. The company has dubbed it “eco-design,” but regardless of its tagline, there’s no doubt that Big Timberworks’ landmark style is here to stay.
