Sometimes, building a home can change much more than your surroundings. 🏡
What started as a plan for a second home on Kimitoön, an island in Southwest Finland, gradually took a new direction. Along the way, the idea of spending holidays there turned into something more permanent.
Life changed in other ways, too. During the project, a new relationship began, and the home that was originally planned for one eventually became a home for two.
Today, the 91 m² log home is a year-round home, designed around everyday life. It combines three bedrooms with an open kitchen and living area, warm wooden surfaces and large windows overlooking the surrounding nature. A separate log sauna by the shore provides additional space for relaxing and accommodating guests.
The buildings share a modern architectural style. The main house was built from non-settling laminated logs, while modern laminated logs were chosen for the sauna.
What began as a plan for a second home eventually became a shared home and a new chapter in life. 🌲
