New Earth Shelters

We build artful, energy efficient timber frame homes at an affordable price. Designing a small home with a big feel is our specialty. Our design team helps you maximize your square footage so that even a modestly sized home feels open and spacious. The use of modern technology helps us keep costs down when constructing traditional, exposed beam structures. We provide a selection of timber frame home kits with options ranging from basic shell to complete home packages. Each kit comes completely pre-cut, numbered and packaged in an orderly fashion for quick installation.

As bold as the New River, meandering and splashing through North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia, this house is fresh and exciting. Why live in a boring house when you can have an artful, spacious, light-filled place of beauty? This home design is perfect for passive solar energy gain. It is easy to build and affordable to own. What more could you ask for? Designed for simplicity and space saving affordability, the Falls Creek may just be the home for you. We offer this plan in 1500 and 1700 sq.

We provide two main products, Traditional Timber Frame Shells and a more complete home system we refer to as our Hybrid Timber Frame Shells. The combination of timber frame craftsmanship and green building features can be hard to find when looking to purchase a pre-designed home. Our Shell packages offer this innovative combination along with the flexibility to build your own home or hire a contractor. Hybrid Shells offer the strength and beauty of a traditional timber frame home with the added benefits of superior insulation to meet modern day energy-efficiency goals.
