Turku - Log Cottage

New for 2018, this chic and modern Nordic style building breaks the mould of the traditional looking log cabins. There are several remarkable things about the Turku Nordic cabin. For a start, there is the ease of construction: Turku’s pre-fabricated Quick Fit wall elements permit assembly in a few hours only, but we can quote for on-site construction if needed. The design details and thought that's gone into making this sizeable Scandinavian-style shed durable, well-insulated and, above all, enviable. The windows and front door are double-glazed helping to keep warmth in and draughts out. And the roof and floor are made from 19mm dense timber, also ensuring great insulation. And then there's the flexibility, allowing you to tailor the cabin as you want it. You can choose which side you position the windows, for instance, and which type of roof finish you want. You can choose to construct the cabin yourself or ask us to do it for you. And finally, there's the aesthetic. Add a barbecue pit, some Nordic or glamping-style furniture, and some garden lights or candles, and you could well be in the coolest of Nordic TV or film sets - just without the inconvenience of the Scandi noir crime and detectives.
