Post-and-beam construction utilizes a framework
of vertical posts and horizontal beams to carry
both floor and roof loads. The beam supporting
the floor and roof system transmit their loads to posts or columns that,
in turn, carry the loads down to the foundation system.
When the post-and-beam frame is left exposed, careful attention
must be made to the species and grade of wood used, the detailing of
joints, especially at the beam-to-beam and beam-to-post connections,
and the quality of workmanship.
Post-and-Beam technology is used to develop the interior of each building creating a visual expression of natural structural form, as well as multiple interior spatial overlaps. The post-and-beam structure requires the use of a secondary structural system for infilling to produce the solid surfaces of walls, floor, roofs. This is easily accomplished with the use of standard framing technologies so easily obtained and applied. )
