DEAR FARM:

DEAR FARM:

The interior of the house showcases the raw beauty of its solid wood structure, foregoing the typical addition of piping cavities and finishing materials. This decision allows the natural wood framework to remain exposed, creating a visually striking interior.

All custom furniture, including the office desk, bench, high sleepers, fireplace, and kitchen, is crafted from the same material as the wood structure, resulting in a cohesive full wooden interior. To complement this aesthetic, black and white details are incorporated, enhancing the rustic simplicity that perfectly aligns with farm life.

Thanks to the inherent properties of wood, such as its natural control of humidity, the indoor climate of the house exudes unparalleled comfort.

The new farmhouse is meticulously designed to facilitate continuous observation and monitoring of the deer. Transverse perspectives hold significant importance for the client, enabling them to oversee the animals and promptly address any issues as they arise. The layout of the house is carefully constructed with interconnected spaces aligned along its length. This longitudinal arrangement not only enhances the spaciousness of the house but also ensures that the deer can be observed from any vantage point at all times.

The decision to use the CLT construction method stems from multiple factors: it pays homage to the traditional farmhouse aesthetic with its exposed truss-construction, saves costs by eliminating the need to finish the interior, and ensures a shorter construction period, essential for a business that can only accommodate on-site work for up to six months due to the tranquility required for the deer.

Additionally, a significant advantage is the CO2 neutrality of timber construction, making it one of the most environmentally friendly construction methods available.
