Confluence Fabrication Co.
Timber Framer
Confluence Fabrication Co. provides a nuanced approach to heavy timber construction. With a sharp focus on hand work and centuries-old connection methods; we work diligently to maintain the relevance of timber in the modern life and home. It is the warmth and tone married to its inherent, quiet strength that continues to permit this presence and that forever draws us to it as craftsmen.
Furthermore, we believe that the interaction of wood and steel should not end with the tool cutting joinery. A vital confluence we endeavor to explore is the union of the materials, timber and steel, for practical and aesthetic function.
Services
Renovation of Existing Buildings with New Integration of Timber Elements
The visual or functional augmentation of these spaces using timber with steel components dovetails excellently into their industrial past. In this case, forms such as stairs, handrails, doorway and window headers, entryways, foot bridges, and built-in furniture are common.
New Construction of Timber Structures
Often, it is necessary to begin anew when envisioning the clearest outcome to a building endeavor. Here, where only the mind limits, we find the scale to often become the largest, taking the form of all manner of dwellings, out buildings, pavilions, barns, workshops, studios and perhaps even a tea house.
Preservation of Historic Timber Frame Structures
Reverence for the craft, material, and narrative are integral throughout this process. While often requiring significant time and patience, the result becomes as timeless as it is priceless. We are sincere advocates for the perpetuity of historic examples of this building method, which function as eternal storytellers and teachers of the craft.
