Timber was most probably the first material prehistoric man used to build his own home about 12,000 years ago. Timber architecture reached its peak in the late medieval era, eventually forced to the background in the 19th century by the widespread construction of apartment blocks and a general shift in housing preferences. More than 100 years had to pass for a renaissance of timber building to be welcome and accepted by society.
Modern timber architecture – against all rumours – will not bind the hands of the conservatively oriented architect. Custom-designed houses, according to preferences of their residents permit the same degree of architectural freedom, both in terms of structure and appearance as any conventional brick building would.
