Post and Beam Homes emphasize expansive open spaces since they require few supporting walls. The weight of the structure is carried by the engineered skeleton rather than by load-bearing walls in the interior. This allows the designer to put interior walls where they make sense - to separate private areas from public ones - rather than splitting up the interior with walls that support the roof and upper stories. The public areas, the living room, dining room, kitchen, nook, can then be left open with the functions of each delineated by furnishings and other design features. The effect is exhilarating, and the exposed Posts and Beams add to the beauty. Butternut Construction has built many beautiful Post and Beam Homes as well as exciting Post and Beam Home Additions.
