# [Timber Frame Construction Perfect Fit Featured in Dockside Magazine](https://blog.normerica.com/blog/timber-frame-construction-perfect-fit-dockside-magazine-winter-2021)

We are delighted that [Dockside Magazine](https://docksidepublishing.com/) has featured one of Normerica's timber frame custom projects in its recent [Dockside Winter 2021 Edition](https://docksidepublishing.com/3d-flip-book/dockside-autumn-winter-2021/). The [Woodland Retreat timber frame project](https://normerica.com/projects/woodland-retreat/) is a custom design with inspiration drawn from [Normerica's extensive library of house plans](https://normerica.com/house-plans/). 

The Woodland Retreat is truly a dream come true for the proud owners.

> *“We love our home and are extremely happy we chose Normerica to bring our dream to life.”*

But don't take our word for it! The Dockside Magazine article highlights the interview with the couple behind the project, John and Christine:

- the original inspiration, Christine's parents' log home, and the memories it evoked
- refining the concept of a log home with timber frame construction, to allow for more flexibility and natural light
- the expertise that the Normerica team brought to the table
- the extensive library of existing Normerica timber frame designs that helped them mold their timber frame dream
- the process of working collaboratively with the Normerica team to enhance the look and feel of the home 

John speaks to working with Normerica:

> *“Normerica was easy to work with and get our design figured out. They were super-professional and great to work with. They took care of any minor challenges – there weren’t any major ones – in a timely and professional manner.”*
