The Classic Timber Building System

The incomparably inviting smell of Western Red Cedar wall timbers, coupled with it's ageless beauty, remarkable insulating qualities, natural resistance to decay and exceptional durability create a Cedar Home that is truly delightful.

Developed by a Danish cabinet-maker over 50 years ago, our Classic Timber Building System uses solid sawn Western Red Cedar Timbers joined in an interlocking fashion referred to as the "Classic Notch", to join the timbers into a solid wall system.

The exterior and load-bearing walls are solid, air-dried timbers in either 4x6 size for single-wall applications, or 3x6 for Energy Wall and tropic applications. Interior non load bearing walls are conventionally framed.
