Old Natchez Studio 22x66 Shop & Outdoor Living
Old Natchez Studio is a 22-by-66-foot timber frame that combines shop space with outdoor living—a long, linear building rather than a square barn footprint.
The proportion matters. A 22-foot width keeps the frame intimate while the 66-foot length creates room for work, storage, and covered outdoor rooms along one run.
Leiper’s Creek Timber Frames cut and raised the frame so the owner’s builders could enclose a studio and outdoor living program around a real timber skeleton.
Long rectangular frames need straight plates and careful layout so doors, porches, and shop bays land on the bent spacing you planned in the 3D model.
It is a good example of how timber framing is not only for houses and barns—it also fits shops, studios, and outdoor rooms that still want heirloom joinery.
