We designed a log house, a separate sauna building and a carport complex to Nuuksio, Espoo. The location of the house was chosen carefully because there were depressions of the rock. We visited the site several times to explore the terrain. We decided to build the house out of logs, and since the wood material is depressed over time, the design had to take into account the depression space left over the doors, windows and slab partitions.

The log house in Nuuksio, Espoo, is a complex that combines national romance and modern wood architecture. The building is two-story and has gorgeous large windows that illuminate the client’s home beautifully. The large windows offer peaceful views. The interior of the house has dark log walls, which create a peaceful and homely atmosphere in the premises. There is a nice contrast between the dark wood and the white parquet and ceiling.

When designing the house, we paid special attention to the fact that this would be the life-long home for the client. The ground floor has been made completely barrier-free. On the upper floor there is a reservation for kitchen and sewer pipes, so that a separate tenant can be taken in later.
