On-site in Park City, a new hospitality development is taking form—anchored by heavy timber trusses that define both structure and aesthetic. Built for the Pioche Hotel, this commercial timber package was engineered to solve for span, snow load, and architectural continuity.

Each 72′–5.5″ truss was engineered for load, lift, and longevity—spanning wider than most retail footprints and fabricated from 10-inch timbers rated for alpine snow loads. Set six stories high on the Pioche Hotel in Park City, these king post trusses form the structural crown. Decorative corbels trace each elevation, pre-cut and patterned for site-fit precision. Complementary 32′–10″ trusses mirror the geometry, supporting high-traffic entry points with architectural continuity. The porte-cochère marks the transition from exterior to interior with structural timber scaled for both snow load and architectural impression. Every element was shop-prepped, RDP-stamped, and scaled for sequencing—from concept through install.

This is real structure, real span—timberwork on the scale of civic architecture, only more inviting.

Custom Timber. Commercial Scale.

Western Timber Frame® supplied the complete exterior timber package—from concept to install-ready. Every truss was engineered, stamped, pre-drilled, and labeled for seamless sequencing onsite.

From steel-aligned knife plates to arched beam joinery, the system was designed to integrate cleanly with R&O Construction’s overall plan.
Each truss component was:

Pre-engineered and RDP stamped
Delivered shop-prepped and labeled
Drilled for hardware and steel interfaces
Sized and oriented to match elevation drawings and framing schedule

Designed to Command Attention

The porte-cochère blends function and refinement—a timber-framed threshold built to endure alpine conditions while elevating the hotel’s sense of welcome.

The team integrated lighting channels directly into the beam design and wrapped the steel to maintain clean lines and highlight architectural features.The result is a dramatic entry, welcoming guests with warmth, scale, and structure.

Function guided the massing, and designers added detailing to ensure a continuous architectural flow.

Western Timber Frame delivers engineered timber packages at commercial scale—prepped for jobsite efficiency, designed for load, and made to last.
If you’re building something that requires mass timber to hold more than weight—something that holds attention, anchors a space, and delivers presence—we’re already working at that scale.

Custom isn’t a category—it’s our standard.

We designed this 10×10 knife plate specifically for the Pioche Hotel porte cochere. Every steel connection, timber cut, and detail follows a custom plan—not pulled from a shelf.Whether it’s a one-post arbor or a multi-building resort install, we scale precision craftsmanship to fit the project, not the other way around.

If You’re Building Bigger—We’re Already There

Western Timber Frame regularly supplies engineered commercial timber packages for projects across the western U.S. Our team works directly with GCs, architects, and site engineers to bring mass timber elements into commercial spaces—on time, to spec, and ready for install.
