Log building is not just a construction technique – it's an art form. For over a thousand years, Norwegian craftsmen have refined the technique of building solid, beautiful timber houses. With us, this tradition lives on, combined with modern knowledge and technology.
Historical roots
The oldest preserved log buildings in Norway date back to the Viking Age. The technique has survived because it works – a log house is solid, naturally insulated, and can stand for centuries with proper maintenance. Our stave churches are living proof of the durability of timber construction.
Modern log-building techniques
Today's log houses combine traditional aesthetics with modern requirements for insulation and comfort. We use dried materials that minimise settling, and modern machinery ensures precision in every cut. But the fundamental craftsmanship – understanding the wood and how it behaves – is something no machine can replace.
Material quality
We hand-pick timber from standing forest, primarily pine and spruce from higher-lying areas where the trees grow slowly and develop a dense, strong structure. Every tree is assessed for quality, and only the best is selected for our projects.
- •Slow-growing spruce and pine from the high mountains
- •Carefully controlled moisture content in the timber
- •Only knot-free timber in visible surfaces
- •Traceability from forest to finished building
The craftsmen behind it
A log house is the result of many skilled hands. Our craftsmen have decades of experience and a genuine love for the trade. They don't just see timber – they see possibilities, history and future homes.
We are proud to carry this tradition forward, and warmly invite anyone interested to visit our workshop to see the process up close.
