Wood?
We know that the idea of building with "live" wood can feel a bit unpredictable, but we believe it is the most rewarding, honest material on Earth. Our mission is to show you that with the right engineering, what seems "impossible" is actually not that hard to reach. We have designed our log containers to be a partnership between your hands and the nature.
Worried about wood bending or crooking?
It’s natural for timber to shift, but we take the guesswork out of the equation. We exclusively use C24 Structural Timber, the premium choice for long-term stability. While standard C16 timber is common, C24 is denser and features fewer knots. This higher grading significantly reduces the risk of significant warping and ensures your structure can handle heavier snow loads and decades of seasonal changes while maintaining its structural precision.
What about wood shrinking?
Wood is a living material that "breathes," and we have engineered a way to work with that movement rather than against it. We utilize massive 77mm solid spruce logs. To manage natural settling, we use specially designed spring screws. These screws maintain constant tension on the logs, allowing them to expand and contract while keeping the structural integrity and airtightness of your walls perfectly intact.
Benefits of kiln-dried wood
Kiln drying is a critical step in our process. By removing moisture in a controlled environment, we "settle" the wood's internal stresses before it ever reaches your site. This process significantly minimizes the risk of warping or twisting and enhances the wood's overall strength. It ensures that your project goes together smoothly and stays exactly where you put it.
How do you deal with insulation in your structures?
We believe in a "breathable" building envelope, so we avoid chemical foams. Instead, we use Perlite, a natural volcanic glass mineral insulation, for both the floor and the ceiling. Perlite is non-combustible (Class A1 fire rating), inorganic so it won’t rot, and offers incredible breathability. Combined with the natural thermal mass of our 77mm spruce—which absorbs and radiates heat—the system maintains a healthy 40-60% humidity level.
How does all of this actually contribute to the environmental stability of our planet?
Our structures are more than just containers - they are carbon-storing ecosystems. While the timber actively sequesters CO2, our technique also emphasizes a "circular" life cycle. Our logs are marked in strict accordance with DIN 14081-1 European standards, ensuring they meet the same safety codes as permanent timber-framed houses. Because of this precision engineering, the building is fully rebuildable. If you decide to relocate, you can disassemble your structure and take it with you, preventing demolition waste and truly caring for our planet.
