Timber Frame & Mass Timber Project Portfolio
Explore 35 years of timber frame and mass timber construction across Canada and the U.S. Midwest, from lakefront cottages and custom homes to commercial CLT buildings, churches, agricultural structures, boathouses, poolhouses, gazebos and heavy timber pavilions.
This portfolio documents Cornerstone Timberframes projects built across Canada and the U.S. Midwest: lakefront cottages engineered for granite bedrock and open-water wind exposure, timber frame homes built for snow load and freeze-thaw conditions, and six-storey CLT commercial buildings built for Winnipeg's skyline.
Every project shown here was designed, fabricated or coordinated by Cornerstone Timberframes using CNC precision from our Kleefeld, Manitoba shop. Structural timber is sourced through our Nordic Structures partnership, including Nordic Lam+ glulam and Nordic X-Lam CLT.
The work spans two distinct disciplines. Timber frame projects use exposed heavy timber as both structure and architectural statement. Mass timber projects use engineered CLT and glulam systems as primary structural components for larger-scale residential and commercial construction, including Bergen Gardens in Winnipeg, one of Manitoba's first six-storey CLT buildings, where Cornerstone served as mass timber installer alongside general contractor Bird Construction.

Portfolio FAQ
What is the difference between timber frame and mass timber?
Timber frame construction uses exposed heavy timber members as both structure and architectural expression. Mass timber uses engineered CLT and glulam systems as primary structural components for larger residential and commercial buildings.
Where does Cornerstone Timberframes build?
Cornerstone Timberframes works across Canada and the U.S. Midwest, with many projects in Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Minnesota and surrounding regions.
Does Cornerstone fabricate timber in-house?
Yes. Cornerstone uses CNC precision from its Kleefeld, Manitoba shop and works with structural timber systems including Nordic Lam+ glulam and Nordic X-Lam CLT through its Nordic Structures partnership.
Who installs the timber structures?
Residential timber frame projects are typically installed by Cornerstone crews. Larger commercial mass timber projects are completed in partnership with the project\'s general contractor.
