Northmen Cabin
Designed, engineered and crafted by our master carpenters, the Northmen wooden cabin is built as a massive timber frame house with time tested mortise and tenon joinery locked with white oak pegs. In the house making process we use only massive single piece timbers harvested by a lunar calendar not using any modern glued beams or boards. The house is built only from natural materials - wood, clay, stone, bricks and lime. All the wood shavings from building process - planing boards and timbers - are used into the wall insulation blocks.
In the modern building industry nobody cares how all the plastic, foam, Rockwool or fibreglass wool materials will naturally decompose, because nobody knows how many hundreds of years it will it take. By building our house we know that all the materials used in our build will naturally decompose and turn into soil in few decades when the house is broken down.
We offer four types of Northmen cabins.
