Brief
We organise the layout, site conditions, envelope targets and expected standard.
Layered envelope and flexible architecture
Timber-frame homes
In a timber frame, structure, insulation, sheathing, airtightness and services work as one envelope. Performance depends on a complete wall design and careful execution of every layer.
Best suited for
A technology matched to how the building will be used.
For clients seeking contemporary architecture, flexible finishes and precise control over energy performance.
wall build-up derived from the energy design
service routes that preserve airtightness
appropriate degree of prefabrication
façade and interior finishing standard
Key strengths
- flexible internal layouts
- prefabrication of selected wall sections
- a wide choice of façades and interiors
What to consider
- the finished envelope depends on the quality of every layer
- production, transport and assembly must protect elements from moisture
- service changes should be agreed before walls are closed
From brief to assembly
Each decision becomes part of one coherent system.
Coordination
Structure is coordinated with insulation, airtightness, sheathing and services.
Prefabrication
Selected elements can be produced in controlled workshop conditions.
Assembly and checks
We verify geometry, layer continuity and moisture-sensitive details.

Production facilities
Production of timber building components
Our production facilities, timber stock, machinery, profiles and completed elements before dispatch to the construction site.
Construction documentation
From the first log course to the enclosed structure
Images from building sites reveal the scale of the elements, hand-finished joints, successive wall courses and roof structures.
