Applying Modern Design to the Log Home

Another example in our growing "ideas list" delivering design inspiration to demonstrate just how flexible and practical your family, retirement or holiday home might be?

Bringing the "outside in", connects the key living areas, via the large decked area to your garden and the views beyond. Combining the visuals with a naturally healthy log building - flooding your home with light, even in the depths of a winters day.

No castellated corners, Oliver features City Corners - designed to ease your passage through planning with it's more conventional aesthetics.

All said, despite its modern lines. Oliver is a modern take on the traditional, tried and tested, log cabin.

All buildings in our portfolio will require planning permission, if you are not familiar with the planning process then it can be something of a minefield and professional help should always be sought, to help you we have produced a handy quide which explains how the process works - click on the icon below.

Our buildings benefit from fast build times once on site - assembly takes between 1 and 5 weeks depending on the size and complexity? Unlike traditional building methods which typically take between 6 to 12 months and are dependant on the weather.

Build costs for traditional building methods range from around £2,700 per square metre to over £3,000 per square metres for a higher spec build - the costs then for a typical 4 bed home, depending on the location, will come out at around £400,000. Your log building once committed to manufacture will be fixed in price, no budgetting for cost over-runs as is the norm of conventional build methods and we will be considerably more cost-effective to build, saving you time and money!

Whilst Ritsu make use of modern processing and production methods, the basic design principles are those of log homes that have been in use of hundreds of years - tried and tested then, when we say your building should last for 100 years or more, it's based on experience, not supposition.

Finally, you will be buying a log building that is amongst the most environmentally friendly buildings available, and also, one of the healthiest environments in which to live and work.
