Great that someone is innovating in this building tradition without spoiling the important things! I had always wished the same would happen here in Norway, but so many factors have worked against it, that the tradition has not developed very far from the cake box cabins so popular now. A note about the point of condensation or Zero point; if the the timber thickness increases more and more the zero-point is driven deeper and deeper into the timber. This might be the reason that ancient timber houses have 17-20 cm thick walls while building as much as 70cm in height per kvarv/omfar/course. I have considered this problem and am curious if you have too, or know of research in Finland about it? I realise yours is a colder dryer, more wind still climate than here in Norway. The temperature differential is greater from indoors and out so the zero point must create a great deal of water in the walls of a timber house situated in Finland? Thanks for sharing your work, all the best, Lucas (godt nytt år!)
Hello Lucas! We have been commonly using large wall thicknesses (c. 30cm) for over 10 years in Finland in both handcrafted and gluewood log building. There has been no acknowledged problems with the alleged zero-point condesation. Apparently the single-material structure of the log formulates a sufficient path for moisture transmission through the wall.
Amazing job...i see you from southern Chile.
Amazing work you do!
