MANY HANDS MAKE THE WORK OF INSTALLING LARGER POSTS LIGHTER Rand Soellner Architect, in association with its engineers, has developed a unique and surprisingly economical method of reinforcing tall gable window walls with timber posts that knit those 24 foot-plus tall wall framing members together to resist the 120+ mph winds that mountain homes can experience. The result is a wonderful exposed timber post detail that has a nice mountain lodge appearance that adds warmth to the space and value to the home.
