half-timbered houses
Exposed beam buildings
Half-timbered houses are buildings with exposed wooden framework, the spaces between timbers filled with plaster, brick, or stucco.
The visible wood creates distinctive geometric patterns on the exterior.
The style is associated with medieval and Tudor architecture in England and Germany: The village was full of charming half-timbered houses with white plaster and dark beams.
