Villa SoFiel<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Overlooking Airisto in the Naantali Archipelago, Villa SoFiel is a complex of three handcrafted log buildings \u2014 the main house, sauna building and guest cabin.<\/p>\n

The main house uses the Fan Assembly method developed by Timo Aro-Heinil\u00e4, in which the natural taper of the logs contributes directly to the geometry of the building. The changing dimensions of the tree thus become an active part of the architectural form.<\/p>\n

Massive roof trusses give the interiors a strong structural presence, while the three separate buildings form a coherent ensemble in the archipelago landscape.<\/p>\n

Villa SoFiel is currently offered for sale<\/strong><\/a> and remains available for short-term rental.<\/p>\n

U3 Lodge<\/h2>\n

Located high on Utsuvaara near Levi, U3 Lodge is a three-storey handcrafted log lodge in the fell landscape of Finnish Lapland.
\nThe building includes six en-suite bedrooms, a spa area and generous shared living spaces. Exceptionally large Nordic pine logs form the frame, complemented by blacksmith-forged square-head bolts and sliding plates that bring crafted metal detailing into direct dialogue with the natural log structure.
\nThe project demonstrates how very large solid logs can be used in a contemporary building without losing the individuality and natural geometry of the material.<\/p>\n

House Kivist\u00f6<\/h2>\n

We have handcrafted log frames for private homes in Helsinki, Turku and elsewhere across Finland.<\/p>\n

At House Kivist\u00f6 in Turku, contemporary architecture meets the structural logic of traditional log building. Large areas of glazing divide the massive log walls into distinct volumes, while exposed ceiling beams introduce a restrained reference to historic timber interiors.<\/p>\n

The wedging lock notch brings together the demands of urban construction, precise connection detailing and traditional log-building principles. The result is a building in which old and new are not treated as opposites, but as parts of the same structural language.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”5%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” centered_text=”true” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_single_testimonial testimonial_style=”small_modern” color=”Default” quote=”Built from the Character of the Material: Each project tells its own story \u2014 of what craftsmanship, experience and care in execution can achieve together.
