Bespoke Design — Manufactured to Client Specifications
Design Overview
Manufactured to order, this spacious design encompasses 44.1m² of interior space within 4.2m x 11.9m external walls. The 88mm glue-laminated timber walls frame an internal volume of 3.8m x 11.5m with 2340mm sidewalls and a ridge height of 3120mm under the apex (gable) roof. The design incorporates 9 windows and 6 doors, positioned to the client’s layout brief, with the apex (gable) roof spanning 59.3m² above 135x135mm floor bearers. As with every Eurodita log cabin, all dimensions, materials, and configurations are manufactured to the dealer’s exact brief. No element is taken from stock; each piece is cut to order.
Why This Configuration
The apex (gable) roof provides balanced aesthetics with symmetrical slopes meeting at a central ridge, creating a classic silhouette that integrates well with residential surroundings.
At 88mm, the wall thickness meets the thresholds commonly required for year-round habitable structures, supporting insulation upgrades and Building Regulations compliance where needed.
With 9 windows, the design prioritises abundant natural light, reducing daytime reliance on artificial lighting and creating a bright, inviting interior. The 6 doors provide multiple entry points, improving circulation and supporting flexible room layouts.
The deep 4.2m x 11.9m plan provides generous room depth, well-suited to open-plan living or configurations requiring clear span in the primary direction.
Materials & Construction
The 88mm glue-laminated (glulam) wall profiles used in this design are engineered for dimensional stability. Unlike conventional sawn timber, glulam undergoes kiln-drying and cross-grain lamination that virtually eliminates warping, twisting, and settlement over time. Each profile is precision-milled to tight tolerances, ensuring clean airtight joints across every wall section. This engineered approach delivers consistent thermal performance and a refined, contemporary finish that solid log cannot match.
The floor system comprises 135x135mm pressure-treated bearers supporting 28mm tongue-and-groove floorboards. This combination provides a rigid, level deck capable of handling furnishing loads, underfloor insulation, and finished flooring overlays as required by the end user.
The roof structure is carried on 5 purlins of 88x260mm section, covered with 19mm boards to form a total roof area of 59.3m². The deck is supplied ready for the dealer’s choice of final covering—EPDM rubber membrane, bitumen shingles, or standing-seam metal are popular options that Eurodita can advise on.
At 88mm, the wall profile is significantly thicker than the industry-standard 44mm used in most flat-pack garden buildings. This provides measurably better thermal insulation, acoustic separation, and structural rigidity — making the building suitable for year-round habitation without additional insulation in temperate climates.
All timber is sourced from FSC-managed Nordic forests and kiln-dried to 16–18% moisture content before machining, ensuring dimensional accuracy and resistance to biological degradation on arrival.
Customisation Options
Every parameter of this 44.1m² design is open to modification. Eurodita operates as a pure bespoke manufacturer: the project shown here is a starting point, not a fixed product.
External dimensions can be adjusted freely—the current 4.2m x 11.9m footprint is not a constraint. Wall thickness can move up or down from 88mm across the full range (28mm to 220mm), and the wall profile can switch between solid log, glulam, or double-wall insulated construction.
The apex (gable) roof shown here can be changed to any supported type (apex, pent, or hip), and the pitch adjusted to suit local planning or aesthetic preferences. Sidewall height, ridge height, and overhang dimensions are all variable.
Window and door positions, sizes, types, and quantities are fully configurable. Glazing can be specified as standard double-glazed (45mm) or living-type (68mm) profiles, with optional painted finishes and crossbar detailing.
Internal partitions, electrical pre-wiring channels, additional insulation packages, and bespoke floor plans are available on request. Eurodita’s engineering team works directly with dealer partners to resolve any design requirement.
Private-Label & White-Label Service
Eurodita offers full private-label manufacturing for this log cabin design. Every document, delivery note, and product label carries your brand — not ours. Your clients see your company name from quotation through to installation. This white-label service is available at no additional cost on all bespoke orders, making Eurodita the invisible manufacturer behind your timber building brand.
Ideal Use Cases
With 44.1m² of interior space, this design supports a broad range of applications: guest accommodation, Airbnb letting, granny annexe, home gym, or multi-room studio. The generous floor plate permits flexible partitioning to suit the end user’s needs, and dealers frequently position buildings of this scale as self-contained living spaces or income-generating rental units. The 4.2m x 11.9m footprint fits comfortably within most residential plots while providing enough room for a kitchenette, bathroom pod, or separate sleeping area.
The 88mm wall section supports insulation and services integration for fully habitable use throughout the year, meeting the expectations of buyers who require a permanent, all-season structure.
The generous glazing allowance makes the interior particularly appealing for studio, retail, and hospitality applications where natural light is a selling point.
