Scandinavian Modern Home Design
Scandinavian modern design captures the essence of Nordic architecture with its minimalist aesthetic and functional design. The side walls, with minimal roof overhangs and the gable end walls that extend beyond the building’s face, create a striking, modern silhouette.
Inside, the home is bathed in natural light, with large windows that blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor living, making you feel a part of the natural environment. The interior features abundant wood elements and soft, natural shades, creating a tranquil and inviting atmosphere. Living in a Scandinavian modern home means waking up to bright, airy spaces, enjoying the seamless flow between rooms, and experiencing the harmony of a design that prioritizes beauty and functionality.
Whether you seek a cozy ski lodge, a lakeside retreat, or a peaceful countryside haven, our Scandinavian Modern Custom Home Design is crafted to suit your lifestyle, providing comfort, serenity and a harmonious living experience.
Be sure to ask about our custom sauna as an additional feature for the Scandinavian Modern Home. No Scandinavian home is complete without a sauna, a cherished tradition deeply rooted in Nordic culture. Our Scandinavian Modern Custom Home Design can seamlessly incorporate this essential feature, providing you with a private sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation.
Designed with the same minimalist elegance as the rest of the home, the sauna features clean lines, natural wood finishes, and a spacious layout that can accommodate multiple users. Large windows may be included to maintain the connection with the outdoors, offering serene views while you unwind in the gentle heat.

CONSTRUCTION
At Purcell Timber Frame Homes, we are committed to using the highest-quality materials and advanced construction techniques to deliver exceptional homes. Our primary construction method is panelized prefabrication. This approach involves assembling our wall panels and roof systems in our building facility. These pre-assembled panels are then transported to your building site for quick and efficient assembly.
Panelized Prefabrication Benefits:
Faster Construction:
On-site construction times are significantly reduced compared to traditional methods, allowing you to move into your new home sooner.
Reduced Waste:
Precise manufacturing techniques reduce material waste and minimize environmental impact.
Consistent Quality:
Building in a controlled environment ensures consistent high-quality construction and minimizes the risk of weather-related delays.
Easy Transportation:
Pre-assembled panels are designed for easy transport, ensuring they arrive at your site intact and ready for rapid assembly.
Our commitment to exceptional quality and craftsmanship means that every home we build is designed to meet and exceed your expectations. By choosing Purcell Timber Frame Homes, you are selecting a custom house builder dedicated to creating homes that reflect your unique vision and stand the test of time.

TESTIMONIALS
“Right from the gorgeous drawings and seeing the wood and timbers that were going to be used for our house, we were very impressed with Purcell. The budget you proposed was very aggressive and you did such an amazing job sticking to it as well as our very tight timeline of just 8 months. Our window package is gorgeous and we love our stairs… I have never seen anything like them. The additional help offered with the hardwood floors and windows worked out amazing! When our friends and family visit, they are always amazed at our beautiful home.
 We love our home!”
