half-timbered house
Exposed beam dwelling
A half-timbered house is a building with a wooden frame visible on the exterior, the spaces between timbers filled with plaster, brick, or stucco.
The exposed beams create distinctive geometric patterns against lighter infill.
The style is associated with medieval and Tudor architecture in England and northern Europe: a row of half-timbered houses in the old quarter.
