Nordic Log Homes & Timber

LUMOS Woodhouse represents a collaboration between experienced Nordic timber specialists and project partners. Our focus is on delivering log homes and wood structures that meet modern construction expectations while preserving the natural qualities of solid timber.

Our team works with proven Nordic manufacturing processes and carefully selected raw materials sourced from Northern forests. Slow-grown timber from these regions provides superior density, strength, and dimensional stability — making it ideal for long-lasting log construction.

Every project begins with understanding the client’s architectural vision. From there we help select the most suitable log system, structural solution, and material specification.

The result is a building that is not only visually striking but also technically reliable and built to last for generations.

Round log construction represents one of the most traditional building methods in Northern Europe. Solid round logs form the load-bearing wall structure of the building, creating a strong and naturally durable construction system.

Each log is carefully shaped and stacked horizontally to create massive timber walls. This simple yet effective structural logic has been used for centuries in Nordic architecture and continues to offer excellent durability and reliability.

Beyond structural performance, round logs also create a distinctive architectural appearance. The natural form of the timber gives buildings a warm and authentic character that cannot be replicated with modern layered wall systems.

Planed log construction uses precisely machined solid timber profiles that create a clean and refined architectural appearance. The smooth, planed surfaces allow logs to fit tightly together, forming stable load-bearing wall structures while maintaining the natural strength and durability of solid wood.

This construction method combines the traditional advantages of massive timber walls with improved dimensional consistency and precise detailing possibilities. The result is a log system that preserves the authenticity of Nordic log architecture while offering a more controlled and accurate construction process.

Planed logs are typically used in projects where a balanced combination of traditional timber construction and a clean architectural finish is desired.

The system is available in 70×170 mm and 95×170 mm profiles, providing flexibility for different building types and insulation requirements.

Non-Sag Log construction is based on a patented engineered timber system (ProLog® CLT) that combines the visual character of traditional log architecture with the structural stability of cross-laminated timber (CLT).

Unlike conventional solid log walls, where natural timber movement can lead to gradual settlement over time, the Non-Sag Log system is designed to minimize structural movement. The cross-laminated timber core creates a rigid wall element that maintains its dimensions and stability throughout the lifetime of the building.

In addition to log houses, LUMOS Woodhouse supplies a wide range of  Nordic timber products for construction, renovation, and architectural use.

Large Nordic trees are sawn into strong construction lumber and structural wooden elements. Depending on the natural characteristics of each tree, the timber is selected and processed for different structural uses such as load-bearing frames, exterior wall structures, or interior ceiling supports.

Our timber production includes beams, joists, planks, and other custom wood components for both construction projects and carpentry applications. Large structural elements such as 300 mm solid logs and 300×300 mm joists are available, while smaller dimensions can be sawn from stock according to project specifications.

Planks are typically produced in 30–100 mm thicknesses, with root widths reaching 50–80 cm, allowing the creation of massive timber surfaces. These planks can be used for interior walls, ceilings, furniture elements, table tops, or further processed into full-edged floor boards.

One of the key principles in processing Nordic timber is respecting the natural form of the tree. Instead of forcing every piece of wood into identical shapes, the material is selected and refined individually. Natural knots, grain patterns, and organic edges can therefore become a distinctive visual feature in architectural details, benches, tables, and interior surfaces.

The timber structures we supply are produced from Northern pine, spruce, and larch, while particularly strong aspen is often used for specialized applications such as sauna benches.
