Pine Marten
Completed Shell (Price coming Soon)
The Pine Marten is a versatile timber frame structure designed to serve two distinct and practical purposes on any rural or residential property. Built around a striking scissor truss roof system, it offers generous interior volume and a classic aesthetic that complements natural surroundings. As a greenhouse, the structure is configured with glazed panels that maximize natural light penetration, creating an ideal environment for year-round growing regardless of the season. As a woodshed, it provides a sheltered, well-ventilated storage solution that keeps firewood dry, accessible, and neatly organized. Every package is crafted using hand-cut joinery, reflecting a commitment to traditional timber frame craftsmanship that prioritizes both strength and visual character. The exterior is finished with a high-quality custom color stain coating, allowing owners to tailor the appearance of the structure to match their property and personal taste. Whether chosen as a productive growing space or a hardworking storage building, the Pine Marten delivers lasting value, refined construction, and the flexibility to meet the evolving needs of its owner.

Design Intent
The Pine Marten was conceived as a dual-purpose structure that bridges the gap between functional utility and handcrafted beauty, giving property owners a building that works as hard as it looks good. The scissor truss roof form was chosen deliberately — its elevated interior pitch creates a sense of spaciousness well beyond what the footprint suggests, while also providing the structural performance needed to handle demanding snow and wind loads. In the greenhouse configuration, the design prioritizes light and airflow, ensuring that the interior environment supports healthy plant growth throughout all four seasons without the need for excessive supplemental heating. In the woodshed configuration, the open bays and elevated framing promote natural air circulation around stored wood, accelerating the seasoning process and protecting the investment of a well-stocked fuel supply. Above all, the Pine Marten is designed to age gracefully — the hand-cut joinery, custom stain finish, and honest timber construction are intended to deepen in character over time, making the structure a lasting and valued feature of any property.
What else do I need in place for you to install this on my property?
A foundation needs to be ready. One option for this is a concrete pad. Or you can install concrete piles, or screw piles to place the beams in. If you want us to install this then request a quote.
If you have custom requests we can do that too.
