Glulam Apex Timber Residence 6.9×17.2 is a bespoke timber building with a 109.3m² internal floor area, manufactured in 88mm glue-laminated timber wall construction with a apex (gable) roof. The building footprint is 6.9m x 17.2m metres and is specified for residential or holiday-let use. Eurodita produces this design as a flat-pack kit for trade buyers, including resellers, developers, and holiday park operators across the UK and EU. The kit ships with numbered components, assembly drawings, structural calculations where required, and FSC chain of custody documentation. Private-label manufacturing is available on this specification.
Design Overview
The Glulam Apex Timber Residence 6.9×17.2 is a bespoke timber structure delivering 109.3m² of clear interior space within a 6.9m x 17.2m footprint. The 88mm glue-laminated timber walls frame an internal volume of 6.5m x 16.9m with 2340mm sidewalls and a ridge height of 3250mm under the apex (gable) roof. The design incorporates 10 windows and 11 doors, positioned to the client’s layout brief, with the apex (gable) roof spanning 142.0m² above 100x60mm floor bearers. As with every Eurodita timber residence, 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 just 15.1°, the low-profile roof minimises visual impact, an advantage where planning height limits apply.
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 10 windows, the design prioritises abundant natural light, reducing daytime reliance on artificial lighting and creating a bright, inviting interior. The double-door entry creates a generous opening that accommodates furniture delivery, wheelchair access, and commercial foot traffic, adding versatility to the building’s potential use.
The deep 6.9m x 17.2m 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 100x60mm 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 9 purlins of 88x260mm section, covered with 19mm boards to form a total roof area of 142.0m². The deck is supplied ready for the dealer’s choice of final covering. Common options include EPDM rubber membrane, bitumen shingles, or standing-seam metal, and Eurodita can advise on the right specification for the project.
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.
Eurodita mills all profiles in-house from slow-grown Nordic spruce, kiln-dried to controlled moisture levels before precision machining. This integrated supply chain ensures traceability and consistent quality.
Customisation Options
This Glulam Apex Timber Residence 6.9×17.2 represents one configuration within an effectively unlimited design space. As a bespoke manufacturer, Eurodita builds every project to the dealer’s exact specification, with no minimum order and no fixed catalogue.
External dimensions can be adjusted freely. The current 6.9m x 17.2m 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 Manufacturing
Eurodita operates a private-label manufacturing programme for trade clients who sell timber buildings under their own brand. The programme covers manufacturing drawings, parts lists, packaging labels, delivery notes, and assembly documentation issued under the buyer brand identity. Buyers can specify branded packaging at the unit level or at the pallet level depending on logistics. Product range under private-label includes the full bespoke catalogue and standard catalog buildings from 4 square metres to 120 square metres. The programme is structured per account, with documentation templates and brand-asset onboarding handled by our trade desk. Contact our team for a private-label proposal aligned to your distribution model and product range.
Ideal Use Cases
At 109.3m², this design enters full residential territory. Suitable as a primary dwelling, holiday lodge, or multi-let unit, it provides the space and structural specification required for permanent habitation, subject to local building regulations. Dealer partners serving the holiday park, glamping, and residential development sectors will find this scale well-suited to their project pipeline.
The wide double-door entry further extends commercial potential, accommodating retail displays, workshop equipment, and accessible access in line with disability regulations.
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.
Delivery & Production
Eurodita manufactures every project in its own production facility in Lithuania, with typical lead times of 4–8 weeks from confirmed order. Delivery is flat-packed on standard road-freight pallets. All 88mm wall sections, roof purlins, 28mm floor panels, pre-fitted windows, doors, and fasteners are included as a complete kit with numbered components and illustrated assembly instructions. Eurodita coordinates transport across Europe and the UK through long-standing haulage partners, delivering to dealer depots, construction sites, or end-client addresses.
