Design Overview
Custom-manufactured to exact specifications, the Apex Garden Office 8.5×8.5 provides 67m² of usable floor area across overall dimensions of 8.5m x 8.5m. The 58mm solid log walls frame an internal volume of 8.2m x 8.2m with 2340mm sidewalls and a ridge height of 3055mm 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 83.8m² above 40x60mm floor bearers. No off-the-shelf components are used in this timber residence; every element is cut and machined to the project-specific measurements, delivering a truly bespoke result for the dealer and their end client.
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 9.7°, the low-profile roof minimises visual impact, an advantage where planning height limits apply.
The 58mm wall section provides a robust enclosure well-suited to three-season use, with straightforward upgradeability should full insulation be required later.
With 9 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 near-square 8.5m x 8.5m floor plate maximises usable area relative to external wall length, an efficient geometry that minimises material use and thermal loss.
Materials & Construction
Constructed from 58mm solid log profiles milled from slow-grown Nordic spruce, each wall section is tongue-and-groove machined for a tight wind-proof fit. The natural thermal mass of solid timber moderates interior temperature swings, keeping the space cooler in summer and warmer in winter. The honest, textured finish of genuine log construction requires no interior cladding and appeals to buyers seeking authentic timber character.
The floor system comprises 40x60mm 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 11 purlins of 58x130mm section, covered with 19mm boards to form a total roof area of 83.8m². 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.
The 58mm wall profile exceeds the 44mm standard commonly found in budget garden buildings, offering improved insulation and a more substantial feel. Unlike mass-produced flat-pack alternatives, every log is precision-cut to this project’s exact dimensions.
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 Apex Garden Office 8.5×8.5 represents one configuration within an effectively unlimited design space. As a bespoke manufacturer, Eurodita builds every project to the dealer’s exact specification—no minimum order, no fixed catalogue.
External dimensions can be adjusted freely—the current 8.5m x 8.5m footprint is not a constraint. Wall thickness can move up or down from 58mm 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
At 67m², 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 generous glazing allowance makes the interior particularly appealing for studio, retail, and hospitality applications where natural light is a selling point.
