Logs and Architecture
Structures made out of logs hold position amongst the great architectural styles. Historians regard
construction with logs to be a preeminent illustration of form and function.
Unmatched natural grace and beauty, capable of grand and intimate scale, and renowned for structural integrity, durability,
and environmental cohesion - projects utilizing logs claim distinction and endearment
for which few compete.
Immensely popular worldwide, crossing cultural and regional boundaries, building
with logs continues to flourish. Designs incorporating logs
combine contemporary lifestyle, science & technology with traditional
organic materials - maintaining comfort and personal expression along with the intrigue of
historical continuity.

Log Home

the of region encompassing Montana, Idaho, Colorado, British Columbia,
Washington and Oregon. Here, robust alpine forests dominate
all but the tallest mountain peaks. Many designers, producers and
handcrafters set up location here, including Logmaker Systems, our firm that

"The ability to 'see' and 'interact' within the design has become
paramount"
Log structures present unique design challenges, acting not only as cosmetic form, but also
structural function. Without knowledge of structural engineering, log
joinery details, sheer strength, and more, a design which looks fine on paper
may not be adequate in the real world of settling and massive loads.
