We not only enjoy building saunas but also using them. The woody scents, the tactile nature of the smooth alder and aspen, and the cosy, warm slowness of it all.

Traditional timber framing is a construction technique that uses joinery and wooden pegs instead of metal fixings and fasteners.

Over the past year and a half, the focus of many of our builds has been to create warm and stylish workspaces to suit the needs of those working from home.

A constant feature of all our builds is the use of durable, locally grown timbers such as European Larch and Western Red Cedar.

In August 2015 I joined some friends taking a trailer full of tinned and dried food, building materials and clothing donations to a warehouse on an industrial estate in Calais.
