Because of the capacity of the posts and beams to transfer the home’s weight down to the foundation, interior walls do not need to bear the load for structural support. Therefore, post and beam home construction allows for open floor plans and a great deal of flexibility in the placement of interior walls. It also allows for the structure of the home to remain exposed, showcasing the beauty of the material used. ![Post&Beam_Framing System_Architectural Drafting & Design 7th Edition_Jefferis_Madsen&Madsen_Production_Captioned_V2](https://www.hillcountrycedarhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Architecture%20Design%20Page%20Images/Post%26Beam_Framing%20System_Architectural%20Drafting%20%26%20Design%207th%20Edition_Jefferis_Madsen%26Madsen_Production_Captioned_V2.png?width=1920&height=1080&name=Post%26Beam_Framing%20System_Architectural%20Drafting%20%26%20Design%207th%20Edition_Jefferis_Madsen%26Madsen_Production_Captioned_V2.png) #### Structural Framing Post & beam construction places framing further apart than platform methods with structural members typically 4' - 5'4" apart and uses less lumber, but requires larger members. Cost savings results from careful planning of the location of posts, and windows & doors that will be located between them. Savings are also achieved by designing the home to conform to the modular dimensions of the building materials.   ## Lindal Design Program ![Interior Designers_Architecture & Design Page_Production_Web](https://www.hillcountrycedarhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Gallery%20Page%20Images/Interior%20Designers_Architecture%20%26%20Design%20Page_Production_Web.png?width=1920&height=1080&name=Interior%20Designers_Architecture%20%26%20Design%20Page_Production_Web.png) #### Personalize Existing Lindal Floor Plan Many homeowners use their favorite Lindal plan from one of our house plan books as the point of departure for creating their original home. A few simple modifications can have a great impact on the style of your Lindal home. Some changes are as simple as the choice of exterior materials and accents, or a change in the shape or placement of windows. As your dealer, Hill Country Cedar Homes will help you explore the many ways that such modifications can have a tremendous visual, lifestyle, and budget impact. ![Lindal Sketch Services_Rendering_Drawings](https://www.hillcountrycedarhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Architecture%20Design%20Page%20Images/Lindal%20Sketch%20Services_Rendering_Drawings.jpg?width=1016&height=653&name=Lindal%20Sketch%20Services_Rendering_Drawings.jpg) #### Lindal Sketch Services Start with one of Lindal’s plans or join the growing number of homeowners who design their own Lindal original from the ground up. After your ideas and budget are outlined, Hill Country Cedar Homes will review your plans with Lindal’s Design Team, who will provide you with a quick design draft to show you what your home will look like and a simple 3D model. We also give you the approximate Lindal package price based on the information and personal Lindal specifications you provide, such as the type of siding, style of windows, placement of cedar ceiling liner. As your dealer, we are your personal contact with the Lindal Sketch Services designers and your guide to designing your new home. ![Hestia_Aris-Georges_MR_Lindal_41664-3_Exterior-View_Below-Hill_Production_Web](https://www.hillcountrycedarhomes.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Website%20Architecture%20Design%20Page%20Images/Hestia_Aris-Georges_MR_Lindal_41664-3_Exterior-View_Below-Hill_Production_Web.gif?width=3000&height=2000&name=Hestia_Aris-Georges_MR_Lindal_41664-3_Exterior-View_Below-Hill_Production_Web.gif) #### Custom Design by OM Studio Design For a custom-fit solution to your new home, Lindal will partner with you, Hill Country Cedar Homes as your dealer, and our architect-trained designer: Aris Georges of OM Studio Design.
