The Post & Beam Building System

A rich combination of Western Red Cedar siding and trim with full cathedral ceilings and contemporary walls of glass that bring the outside in and creates an impressive open design.

Pan Abode Post & Beam homes are designed with flexibility in mind. The structural strength of your home comes from sturdy posts positioned around the exterior shell and glue-lam roof beams spanning the structure.

The posts and beams are spaced 6' apart which maximizes the ratio of space to cost and provides optimum design spaces for rooms such as bathrooms and bedrooms as well as spaces for larger doors and windows. This system allows for expansive living spaces and high ceilings not restricted by traditional framing and load bearing walls.

Exterior siding is 1x6 Western Red Cedar. Interior walls are finished with optional drywall, cedar, or any custom material you select. The open beam ceilings can be of 2x6 decking, 1x6 paneling, or drywall.

The Pan Abode Post & Beam home. A combination of materials and spaces with unlimited possibilities.
