Tamlin International Homes

Tamlin International Homes Your Vision. Our Craft. A Home Like No Other. Since 1977 One of our specialties is timber frame or post and beam construction.

Tamlin (International) Homes Ltd, established in 1977, is based in Coquitlam BC, and is proud to be 100% Canadian owned and operated. Our business is designing and building custom residential homes and unique timber frame dwellings with a distinct west coast feel. We are full general contractor/builder in the Vancouver Area and Fraser Valley in BC, and we also manufacture home “packages” that are

shipped to remote building areas, or to other provinces within Canada, and throughout North America. Over the years Tamlin has grown our family of professional designers, building crews/sub-trades, and network of local building specialists to provide a unique custom level of service to each of our clients. These days, our hybrid homes integrate a balance of contemporary or traditional styles, so you can have as much or as little wood features or custom wood joinery in your home. While each one of our homes is designed to meet your specifications, our goal is always to exceed your expectations. Our approach to west coast style design includes three elements. First, we try to incorporate natural features such as wood and stone, and eco-friendly materials that will last a long time. Second we design using an open concept, with spacious and functional areas, which allow for ease of traffic flow, but privacy and comfort where you need it. Third we design using the highest level of materials quality and installation, with special focus on energy efficiency to save you money. Over the years Tamlin has amassed a diversified project portfolio including:

- Residential Homes
- Custom Cottages
- Remote/Island Projects
- Commercial Buildings
- Prefabricated Timber and Log Chalets
- Licensed Builder in B.C. Call today to meet with one of our specialists!

Signature Series: Panorama | 2,632 sq ft

Designed for elevated views, vaulted living, and flexible everyday comfort.

The Panorama is a thoughtfully designed 2,632 sq ft floor plan that combines open concept living with dramatic architectural volume and a strong connection to the outdoors.

With a spacious great room, soaring vaulted ceilings, and an open loft sitting area overlooking the main living space, this plan is ideal for sites where views, light, and gathering spaces matter.

Why it works:

Vaulted Great Room: Soaring ceilings create an open, airy main living space with strong architectural presence.

Open Loft Sitting Area: The primary suite includes a loft style sitting area that overlooks the great room below.

Three Sided Views: Large windows are designed to bring in natural light and capture views from multiple directions.

Indoor Outdoor Connection: Timber entry porches, large overhangs, and optional covered decks or patios extend the living space outdoors.

All Signature Series plans can be adapted for different foundation types, with options for decks, garages, and basements.

A look back at how a custom Clear Lake Plan came together on site.

These photos show the assembly process step by step, from the floor platform and wall panels to larger framed sections being lifted into place.

With a prefabricated house package, the components are designed, prepared, and organized in advance, then assembled on site in a coordinated sequence.

This is where the package starts to become a home.

Signature Series: Discovery Ridge | 1,458 sq ft

Where modern design meets practical single-level living.

The Discovery Ridge is a thoughtfully designed 1,458 sq ft floor plan that balances open-concept living, natural light, and everyday comfort.

With a central kitchen, dining, and living area, this plan creates an easy flow through the main living spaces while maintaining privacy between the principal bedroom and secondary bedrooms.

Why it works:

- Open-Concept Layout: Seamless connection between the kitchen, dining, and living areas.
- Bright Interior Spaces: High ceilings, clerestory windows, and expansive glass help bring natural light into the home.
- Signature Timber Detail: Glulam timber beams add warmth, structure, and architectural character.
- Indoor-Outdoor Connection: A covered porch and optional deck areas extend the living space outdoors.

All Tamlin Signature Series plans can be adapted for different foundation types, with options for decks, garages, and basements.

Sculpting with structure.

There is a hidden beauty in the precision of framing: the rhythm of the beams, the play of light and shadow, and the moment where function becomes form.

A recent Tamlin home package left our facility in 4 truckloads, prepared for delivery on 53' flatbed trailers.

Because the site was accessed by a narrow road, we worked with the client ahead of shipment to review access, turning space, unloading considerations, and delivery coordination.

That planning is an important part of the prefab process. The package is not only designed and manufactured before it arrives on site. It is also organized, bundled, and prepared with delivery in mind.

We can’t wait to see this project take shape on site!

Prepared in our shop. Coordinated for the site. Delivered to move the project forward.

Thinking small?
You don’t have to think basic.

This 594 sq. ft. artist’s studio was designed to feel open, connected to nature, and filled with natural light. The elevated ceilings, oversized glazing, and continuous clerestory windows make the space feel far larger than its footprint suggests.

Projects like this show how thoughtful design can completely transform a compact space. Whether it’s an artist’s studio, guest house, cabin, workshop, or small full time home, good design matters at every scale.

At Tamlin, we design custom prefab structures of all sizes across Canada and the USA.

Today we celebrated Greg and his 25 years with Tamlin.

As our Design Manager, Greg has played a key role in shaping nearly every home we have created. Whether he is leading our design team or working directly on a project, his experience, attention to detail, and commitment to quality are reflected in every set of plans that leave our office.

His contribution has been instrumental to Tamlin’s success, and we are proud to recognize this milestone.

Thank you, Greg, for 25 years of dedication.
