Bull Stockwell Allen

Based in San Francisco, Bull Stockwell Allen creates alpine lodge and resort hospitality architecture defined by soaring rooflines, exposed heavy timber joinery, and deep clerestory glazing that illuminates warm gathering spaces within mountain landscapes. Serves as a strong reference when detailing custom steel-and-timber connection hardware, engineering deep rafter overhangs for alpine climate control, or designing slope-adjacent hospitality terraces.

Close-up of heavy timber roof overhang and post-and-beam construction by Bull Stockwell Allen against a bright blue sky.

Rosebrook Lodge Interior

A detailed precedent for heavy timber eave construction and expressed bolted structural joints, typical of lodge and mountain architecture.

What we like about this project
Exposed black steel dowels and custom caps cleanly lock the heavy timber diagonals into the primary post.

Geometry
An upward-angled view displaying a projecting heavy timber roof eave, supported by angled struts, brackets, and a primary vertical post.
Facade system
Exposed timber post-and-beam system with deep roof overhang.
Structural guess
Heavy timber post-and-beam with concealed steel flitch plates and exposed bolting.
Spatial scale
Human-scale architectural detail showing heavy timber framing components.
Lighting
Direct, bright daylight casting sharp shadows across the timber joints and bolt patterns against a clear blue sky.
Atmosphere
Warm, solid, and structurally expressive under crisp daylight.
Environmental context
Exterior roof overhang viewed against open sky.
Spatial experience
The deep eave creates a strong sense of shelter, emphasizing the crafted structural intersections overhead.
Composition rhythm
Diagonal and vertical timber braces create an interlocking rhythmic grid overhead.
