McMillan Lake House

Custom lakefront secondary home in the mountains of Northeast Washington state. Vaagen Timbers’ Design team worked directly with the Client as the architect, including designing and building custom Glulam beam trusses, and engaged engineers as needed to construct and deliver the Client’s home. The project was structurally erected in 5 days in the mountains during the winter, which allowed the interior and exterior finish work to be completed at the same time – which would have otherwise been the offseason – resulting in a shorter delivery timeframe compared to traditional concrete and steel construction.

    North American forests grew this much wood in 14 seconds.

    This project kept 110 metric tons of carbon from entering the atmosphere.
