About the Hammer Bean Truss Design
The Hammer Beam truss is a hallmark of historic English Gothic architecture, originally developed in the Middle Ages to achieve vast, open interior spans without the need for full vertical supports in the center of the structure. Characterized by short horizontal beams (the hammer beams) that project from the walls and support arched braces, this design creates dramatic open ceilings while transferring roof loads outward and downward. The hammer beam not only serves a crucial structural function but also introduces a breathtaking visual rhythm and vertical lift to any space. Harmony Timberworks draws from these classic traditions, crafting the Lookout Mountain Pavilion to combine old-world elegance with modern strength and precision.
